The vegetative filter strips (VFS) are a best management practice. For quantifying the movement & amount of sediments & nutrients, the performance of VFS has to be modeled. Data available from the literature & recent experiments were used. Artificial runoff was created. Flow samples were analysed for concentrations for total suspended solids, total phosphorus & soluble phosphorus, & particle size distribution. Input-output data sets were used to train & test a multi-layered perceptron using back propagation (BP) algorithm & a radial basis function neural network using fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. Sensitivity tests were done for finding optimum architectures of neural networks. The statistical analysis & comparisons between predicted & observed values for the three models showed that a BP network with 15 hidden units can model the performance of VFS efficiently, including the trapping of soluble P. They could predict the outputs, even without the particle size distribution....
