The comparison is done for almost 5,000 12-digit HUC's in Iowa, and parts of  Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. The DEP uses the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) hillslope model with high temporal resolution, Next-Generation Weather 200 RADAR (NEXRAD) precipitation, and crop specific parameters such as C and P factors obtained from the confidential NRI database \nThe comparison between RUSLE and DEP was made for HUC-12s with greater than 75% agricultural land cover. This threshold was used because DEP only models  agricultural erosion, while our RUSLE-derived HUC-12 estimates include all land cover types. This data set corresponds to Fig 2 in the manuscript. \n\nThis dataset is associated with the following publication:\nWoznicki, S., P. Cada, J. Wickham, M. Schmidt, J. Baynes, M. Mehaffey, and A.
