• Also known as riparian buffers and grassed waterways
• Take home message:One size does not fit all!

• VFS efficacy is difficult to predict
• Variability cannot be explained by buffer width or buffer slope alone
• Large number of parameters and uncertainties need to be taken into account

• Uncalibrated VFS model that predicts Q and E– Vegetative Filter Strip Modeling System, VFSMOD– Finite-element, field-scale, storm-based model

So how to handle this complexity?• Key Drivers: Hydrologic response• So what do we really know?
– Mathematical Models Built in Presence of UNCERTAINTY
– Input factors (uncertainty sources): input variables, parameters, equations, calibration data, scale, model structure
![Page 15: Uncertainty in Predicting Pesticide Surface Runoff Reduction with Vegetative Filter Strips Garey A. Fox, Ph.D., P.E. - Oklahoma State University Rafael](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56649e625503460f94b5f08a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Sensitivity Analysis (SA)
![Page 17: Uncertainty in Predicting Pesticide Surface Runoff Reduction with Vegetative Filter Strips Garey A. Fox, Ph.D., P.E. - Oklahoma State University Rafael](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56649e625503460f94b5f08a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
UA/SA Methods• Why is it important?
– Explore model behavior, identify influential parameters, characterize interactions, simplify
• Local vs. global sensitivity:– Local techniques inherently assume models are
monotonic, linear and additive– Parameters are varied over a limited range and about an
assumed central value, one at a time – interactions of parameters are not accounted for
– Global analysis techniques attempt to measure total sensitivity to a parameter
![Page 18: Uncertainty in Predicting Pesticide Surface Runoff Reduction with Vegetative Filter Strips Garey A. Fox, Ph.D., P.E. - Oklahoma State University Rafael](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56649e625503460f94b5f08a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Two-Step Global Process
1. Global SA – Screening with limited number of simulations (Morris Method) - QUALITATIVE RESULTS
2. Global SA and UA - Variance-based method (Extended Fourier Analysis of Sensitivity Test - Extended FAST) - QUANTITATIVE RESULTS
![Page 19: Uncertainty in Predicting Pesticide Surface Runoff Reduction with Vegetative Filter Strips Garey A. Fox, Ph.D., P.E. - Oklahoma State University Rafael](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56649e625503460f94b5f08a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step 1: Screening w/ Morris Method• Uses few simulations to map relative sensitivity• Identifies a subset of more important parameters for
quantitative analysis• Provides an early indication of the importance of first
order effects vs. interactions

• Quantifies the direct contribution to variance of each parameter
• Quantifies the total contribution to variance of all the interactions between parameters
• Variance decomposition requires a large number of simulations per parameter, hence the need for initial screening (Morris)
Step 2: Variance-Based Method

Uniform vs. Concentrated – Extended FAST• Global SA results:
– Percent of total output variance explained by first-order effects:• 48-64% for Uniform Flow• 19-21% for Concentrated Flow
– Uniform flow - Q controlled model response under uniform flow with VKS accounting for 46-51% of total output variance
– Concentrated flow – not one input factor explained more than 8% of the total output variance
• Unique processes introduced into VFS during concentrated flow

Conclusions• Global SA and UA helped in the analysis of VFS
– Hydraulic conductivity most important input factor for flow– Average particle diameter and conductivity most important for sedimentation– Same parameters most important for pesticide trapping
• Significant interaction effects between variables, especially for concentrated flow• Global UA showed commonly observed reduction in pesticide trapping with
concentrated flow
