Book excerpt: In this new edition of his classic reader, Michael Hill seeks to make the selected extracts reflect a more European outlook on the processess of policy-making and implementation. With reference to the third edition of his popular textbook, The Policy Process in the Modern State, Hill has maintained the thematic approach of the first edition, looking in turn at approaches to policy making in Europe, power, bureaucracy and the State, the rationality/incrememtalism debate, the role of organisational theory in policy implementation, street-level bureaucracy and discretion. Already praised as one of the best readers available in thisfield, Michael Hill's new edition will be even more valued as a reference and teaching resource by students and lecturers alike.

Download or read book Advances in Groundwater Governance written by Karen G. Villholth and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses groundwater governance, a subject internationally recognized as crucial and topical for enhancing and safeguarding the benefits of groundwater and groundwater-dependent ecosystems to humanity, while ensuring water and food security under global change. The multiple and complex dimensions of groundwater governance are captured in 28 chapters, written by a team of leading experts from different parts of the world and with a variety of relevant professional backgrounds. The book aims to describe the state-of-the-art and latest developments regarding each of the themes addressed, paying attention to the wide variation of conditions observed around the globe. The book consists of four parts. The first part sets the stage by defining groundwater governance, exploring its emergence and evolution, framing it through a socio-ecological lens and describing groundwater policy and planning approaches. The second part discusses selected key aspects of groundwater governance. The third part zooms in on the increasingly important linkages between groundwater and other resources or sectors, and between local groundwater systems and phenomena or actions at the international or even global level. The fourth part, finally, presents a number of interesting case studies that illustrate contemporary practice in groundwater governance. In one volume, this highly accessible text not only familiarizes water professionals, decision-makers and local stakeholders with groundwater governance, but also provides them with ideas and inspiration for improving groundwater governance in their own environment.
Download or read book Contextually based Framework for Improved Data Reduction in Regional Scale Analytic Element Groundwater Models written by Warit Silavisesrith and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation introduced a conceptual framework for improved data reduction for numerical environmental models. Its key conceptual idea was a simulation-driven feature simplification, which based a simplification decision on the factors affecting accuracy and runtime of the simulation model. The framework led to the development of a new simplification algorithm, inclusion of contextually based constraints into simplification decisions, a contextually based approach for evaluating data simplification, and methods for identifying the appropriate simplification parameters. The conceptual framework was fully developed within the context of Analytic Element Method (AEM) of two-dimensional steady-state groundwater modeling applied to large groundwater domains. As part of the development and implementation of the framework, a new Hybrid Three-Dimensional simplification algorithm was designed to improve accuracy and performance of the AEM simulation models. A contextually based simplification operator was developed using constraints derived from physical characteristics that have a direct influence on the results of the AEM groundwater model. Results of the simplification algorithms were evaluated based on AEM groundwater model objectives using a proposed multi-objective function, which measured multiple types of model errors and computational resource consumption. Optimization of the simplification parameters was conducted to identify appropriate simplification level and constraints based on specific modeling objectives. Influence of changes in model parameters on prediction accuracy and optimal simplification parameters were also conducted as part of the experiments. The multi-objective function provided a contextually based approach to compare and evaluate simulation results from different sets of simplification parameters with regard to the specified modeling objectives. Evaluation of simplification results within the context of the environmental model confirmed that the simplification algorithms operated within the modeling context were superior to traditional cartographic simplification algorithms. The Hybrid Three-Dimensional simplification was very effective in the study sites dominated by a large number of rivers. In the study site with a large number of lakes with a relatively small number of rivers, the Hybrid algorithm was not as effective but it still outperformed the cartographic simplification algorithms. The introduction of contextually based constraint simplification helped improve both the Hybrid and cartographic algorithms. However, the constraints were effective only in the models with lower level of details. Optimization of simplification parameters showed that different simplification levels and constraints were required for different modeling objectives and study site characteristics. Changes in groundwater model parameters or element specifications, such as the aquifer hydraulic conductivity or well pumping rates, resulted in different optimal simplification parameters, and so model parameters should be calibrated prior to optimizing simplification parameters. With an initial set of optimized simplification parameters, prediction scenarios with respect to changes in individual analytic element specification, such as well pumping rates, yielded the same level of accuracy. However, prediction scenarios involving changes in the underlying property of the aquifer, such as hydraulic conductivity, yielded a different amount of model error.

This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City's municipal water supply system provides about 1 billion gallons of drinking water a day to over 8.5 million people in New York City and about 1 million people living in nearby Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, and Orange counties. The combined water supply system includes 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes with a total storage capacity of approximately 580 billion gallons. The city's Watershed Protection Program is intended to maintain and enhance the high quality of these surface water sources. Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program assesses the efficacy and future of New York City's watershed management activities. The report identifies program areas that may require future change or action, including continued efforts to address turbidity and responding to changes in reservoir water quality as a result of climate change.
