Design a Vegetative Filter Strips Length Using VFSMOD_W Model for Reducing Sediments and Pesticides

 Abstract  The vegetative filter strips (VFS) are a useful tool used for reducing the movement of sediment and pesticide in therivers. The filter strip’s soil can help in reducing the runoff volume by infiltration. However, the characteristics of VFS (i.e., length) are not recently identified de...
