In this hands-on workshop, we’ll take our first steps in GRASS by exploring a small watershed in Eastern North Carolina—home to some of the highest densities of swine waste lagoons in the country. Within an online computational notebook we will model how water — and waste — might move through the landscape. No prior GRASS…
