Water Resources Bulletin 29(6):891–900. This study integrates an Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution Model (AGNAPS), the Geographic Resource Analysis Support System (GRASS), and GRASS WATERWORKS to evaluate the impact of agricultural runoff on water quality in the Cass River, a subwatershed of Saginaw Bay.
