Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic feasibility of draining non-permanent wetlands in cemtral Alberta is examined by evaluating two drainage systems at a half-section wetland drainage site, 50 kilometers south of Edmonton and conducting a wetlands inventory of the study area. This wetland drainage site contains a 23 hectare non-permanent wetland that prior to 1988 held up to 45 centimeters of water through more than half the growing season. By the time it dried out in late summer, the grass was too mature to be of any use to livestock. A controlled backflood drainage system was installed at this site in 1988, under the Farmland Develoipment and Reclamation Program. It operated as a traditional uncontrolled drainage system for one year, prior to the control structure being installed in the summer of 1989. The costs and benefits associated with each drainage system are collected and analyzed from two perspevtives: the farmer's and society's. The farm financial analysis includes the on-site cots and benefits of the drainage system. The socio-economic analysis includes the costs of the off-farm drainage works and wildlife habitat losses resulting from the installation of the drainage system along with the on-farm costs and benefits. Sensitivity tests are also conducted on the costs and revenues associated with each drainage system, the size of the wetland associated with each wetland drainage site and the discount rate associated with each economic perspective. A wetlands inventory is undertaken using black and white aerial photographs to determine the number and size of non-permanent wetland sites in the study area that are economically fiasible to drain. The results suggests that there are many non-permanent wetland sites in central Alberta that would be economically feasible to drain. This economic feasibility depends on the size of the wetland that is being drained and improved. It depends on the type of drainage system that is being installed. It also depends on whether potentially high off-site costs are included in the analysis.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropogenic disruptions in the form of hydrological alterations, such as dam construction and the associated water diversions are a cause of much upheaval to local and regional ecosystems. Lake 626 within the Experimental Lakes Area of north-west Ontario, along with its downstream wetlands, 626A and 626B are one such system. Construction of a dam at the L626 inflow has completely restricted water flow, reducing and reshaping the watershed, increasing water retention time, and decreasing outflow into the wetlands. This study investigates the state of each wetland through physical and geochemical characterization during the first year following the diversion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The northern prairie region includes the prairie pothole region and the Nebraska sandhills. The first chapter deals with the social and economic conditions in the prairie pothole region and their impacts on the perception that farmers, business executive, and politicians in the region have of its wetland. The next three chapters deal with hydrology and water chemistry. They describe the physical and chemical environment of northern prairie wetlands. The flora and fauna are covered in seven chapters. An overview of the ecology of the wetlands of the Nebraska sandhills is provided in the last chapter.
