DBAPE – A Database and Model Parameter Analysis System for Agricultural Soils to Support Water Quality Management

The Data Base Analyzer and Parameter Estimator (DBAPE) is a practical tool for (1) analyzing a national environmental data base containing geographic and soils properties data and locations for meteorologic stations, and (2) estimating parameters for subsurface flow models. DBAPE merges four teclnologies (data base management, a user interface, process algorithms, graphics) in a hardware-portable environment to provide a broad range of capabilities for search and analysis of agricultural soils to support water quality management.
