The FOOTPRINT Tools: FOOT-CRS

FOOT-CRS (Catchment and Regional Scales) is targeted towards local authorities, stewardship managers and water managers in charge of implementing the Water Framework Directive and/or limiting the contamination of water resources by pesticides. The tool, uses the same decision rules as those implemented in the other two tools, relies on predictions made by the pesticide fate models MACRO and PRZM, and will be available as an add-on to the ESRI ArcGIS software. Predictions for each FOOTPRINT agro-environmental scenario are routed in the landscape to the nearest point of entry into the surface water system and entries are then routed through the surface water network to the catchment outlet.

FOOT-CRS will be made available through this website. If you wish to be kept informed about FOOT-CRS, its release and training opportunities, please contact the FOOTPRINT team via our contacts page .
