Book excerpt: Watershed modeling is at the heart of modern hydrology, supplying rich information that is vital to addressing resource planning, environmental, and social problems. Even in light of this important role, many books relegate the subject to a single chapter while books devoted to modeling focus only on a specific area of application. Recognizing the

This book was released on 2020 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was evaluated for its ability to simulate and analyze the hydrology of the 85,560 km2 Wabash watershed that is shared by the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky in the Midwest region of the United States. The data employed in the analysis are available to the public from trusted organizations, e.g., the USGS, MRLC, etc. The purpose of this study is to 1) create a hydrological model for the Wabash watershed, and 2) to conduct detailed analyses of the output data, especially during the spring season, to study potential spring season flooding. The data used for these analyses are precipitation, temperature, Soil Water Yield, surface runoff, and snow melt. The basin was divided into 516 subbasins based on the DEM data and a threshold area of 9,000 ha. A total number of 2,803 Hydrologic Response Units (HRU) that represent the different soil types and land use was generated, according to the soil, land use maps and slope with threshold values of 20%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. The first five years were used as the warm-up period to mitigate the effect of initial conditions. The calibration was carried out at daily time steps using flow data from January 2003 to December 2009. The years from 2010 to 2013 were used for validation. SWAT-CUP (a calibration/uncertainty or sensitivity program interface for SWAT) was used. In this study, the sequential uncertainty fitting algorithm (SUFI-2) procedure was used for parameter optimization and uncertainty propagation analysis. The main findings of this study are: 1) The areas adjacent to the main channel are the most affected, with higher concentrations downstream, 2) Differences in Land Use and Land Cover type (LULC) do not have a significant influence on the results, and 3) high peak precipitation events did not have a significant contribution to flooding due to an increase in temperatures during the same times those peaks occurred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New focused text introduces readers to wetland ecosystems and systems approaches to studying wetlands With its comprehensive coverage of wetland science, management, and restoration, Mitsch and Gosselink's Wetlands has been the premier reference on wetlands for more than two decades. Now, the coverage of specific wetland ecosystem types from earlier editions of this acclaimed work has been updated, revised, and supplemented with additional content in order to create this new text focusing exclusively on wetland ecosystems. This book now complements Wetlands, Fourth Edition. Following an introduction to ecosystems in general and wetland ecosystems in particular, Wetland Ecosystems examines the major types of wetlands found throughout the world: coastal wetlands, freshwater marshes and forested swamps, and peatlands. The final chapter reviews three fundamental systems approaches to studying wetlands: mesocosms, full-scale experimental ecosystems, and mathematical modeling. This new text features: Updated descriptions of the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and biology of the main types of wetlands found in the world New content introducing general ecosystems, wetland ecosystems, whole ecosystem and mesocosm experiments with wetlands, and systems ecology and modeling A detailed description of the ecosystem services provided by wetlands A broad international scope, including many examples of wetlands located outside North America Two new coauthors offering new perspectives and additional insights into the latest ecosystem and modeling techniques An abundance of illustrations helps readers understand how different biological communities and the abiotic environment in wetland ecosystems interact and function. Tables and text boxes provide at-a-glance summaries of key information. Lastly, each chapter concludes with a list of recommended readings. This text has been designed as an introduction for students and professionals in wetland ecology and management, general ecology, environmental science, and natural resource management.

Download or read book Challenging Climate Change written by Arne Wossink and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, climate change has been an important driving force behind human behaviour. This archaeological study seeks to understand the complex interrelations between that behaviour and climatic fluctuations, focussing on how climate affected the social relations between neighbouring communities of occasionally differing nature. It is argued that developments in these relations will fall within a continuum between competition on one end and cooperation on the other. The adoption of a particular strategy depends on whether that strategy is advantageous to a community in terms of the maintenance of its well-being when faced with adverse climate change. This model will be applied to northern Mesopotamia between 3000 and 1600 BC. Local palaeoclimate proxy records demonstrate that aridity increased significantly during this period. Within this geographical, chronological, and climatic framework, this study looks at changes in settlement patterns as an indication of competition among sedentary agriculturalist communities, and the development of the Amorite ethnic identity as reflecting cooperation among sedentary and more mobile pastoralist communities.
