Select Best Management Practices Attributes: Selected Conservation Practices (CPRAC) for 2012
This metadata record describes 7 conservation practice based on information from the National Resource Conservation Service (NASS) (Michael Schwartz, USGS, written communic. 2017). These data are for the year, 2012 and compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2.1 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. The 7 conservation practices for included are : Land artificially drained by ditches, land drained by subsurface tiles, land on which conservation tillage was used, land on which conventional tillage was used, land on which no-till practices were used, land planted to a cover crop (excluding conservation resource lands (CRP)), and land under a conservation easement.
