Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This example is based on first selecting a specific area of the country
(e.g., Clarke County, GA) then analyzing a set of soils (i.e., those that
support Corn) within that area.  The pesticide used is Aldicarb and the crop
is corn.  After performing a standard run comparing 10 scenarios, the
scenario with the highest leaching is used to demonstrate uncertainty
analysis.
