PATRIOT assesses ground water vulnerability by
quantifying pesticide leaching potential in terms of pesticide mass transported
to the water table. It integrates a tool that enables analysis of pesticide
leaching potential with data required for area-specific analysis anywhere in the U.S.
PATRIOT is composed of:
- pesticide fate and transport model (PRZM2),
- comprehensive database,
- interface that facilitates database exploration,
- directed sequence of interaction that guides user in providing necessary
information to perform alternative model analyses, and
- user-selected methods of summarizing and visualizing results.
Users are expected to be State personnel charged with developing pesticide
management plans as well as other regulatory and resource management
institutions.
