Mathematical model evaluates impacts of agricultural practices on groundwater quality and chemical movement.

This paper aims to describe the GLEAMS model in evaluating agricultural management effects on groundwater.
Developed a mathematical model for field-size areas.
Conducted sensitivity analysis and validation with bromide and pesticide data.
Compared model simulations with observed soil concentrations and leaching losses.
The model accurately predicted soil concentrations in the root zone.
Simulations of leaching losses were validated against observed data.
Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the model's reliability under varying conditions.

Leonard et al. (1987) studied this question.
