Summary
This metadata record documents 2 comma delimited tables representing output from the Chesapeake Bay Program Phase 5.3.2 Watershed Model. The effect of best management practices (BMP) in 2014 in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed (CBWS) is estimated through a series of model scenarios that isolate the effect of individual BMPs. Data include a table describing the series of isolation scenarios and the summarized output of all scenarios. Scenario output include the estimated nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment mass reductions for each BMP. Analysis of BMP implementation over time can provide insight to water quality restoration progress.

Purpose
These data, in combination with Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership Model scenarios and reported implementation of BMPs, were created to isolate the effect of each BMP to determine expected changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads in the Chesapeake Bay watershed due to BMP implementation.
