Abstract
ABSTRACT The CREAMS (Chemicals, Runoff, and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems) model was evaluated for predicting runoff and sediment delivery from central Illinois fields without initial calibration. CREAMS was found to be fairly accurate in predicting cumulative annual runoff and sediment delivery. However, care should be exercised in selecting parameter values by using data that are as representative of the characteristics of the fields as are available. The violation of the assumption of applying CREAMS to fields having uniform characteristics, was not critical if weighted averages for parameter values were used in representing the variability of a field..
