Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary reference for the modeling of hydrodynamics and water quality in rivers, lake, estuaries, coastal waters, and wetlands This comprehensive text perfectly illustrates the principles, basic processes, mathematical descriptions, case studies, and practical applications associated with surface waters. It focuses on solving practical problems in rivers, lakes, estuaries, coastal waters, and wetlands. Most of the theories and technical approaches presented within have been implemented in mathematical models and applied to solve practical problems. Throughout the book, case studies are presented to demonstrate how the basic theories and technical approaches are implemented into models, and how these models are applied to solve practical environmental/water resources problems. This new edition of Hydrodynamics and Water Quality: Modeling Rivers, Lakes, and Estuaries has been updated with more than 40% new information. It features several new chapters, including one devoted to shallow water processes in wetlands as well as another focused on extreme value theory and environmental risk analysis. It is also supplemented with a new website that provides files needed for sample applications, such as source codes, executable codes, input files, output files, model manuals, reports, technical notes, and utility programs. This new edition of the book: Includes more than 120 new/updated figures and 450 references Covers state-of-the-art hydrodynamics, sediment transport, toxics fate and transport, and water quality in surface waters Provides essential and updated information on mathematical models Focuses on how to solve practical problems in surface waters—presenting basic theories and technical approaches so that mathematical models can be understood and applied to simulate processes in surface waters Hailed as “a great addition to any university library” by the Journal of the American Water Resources Association (July 2009), Hydrodynamics and Water Quality, Second Edition is an essential reference for practicing engineers, scientists, and water resource managers worldwide.

Download or read book Phosphorus Biogeochemistry of Sub Tropical Ecosystems written by K. Ramesh Reddy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-04-29 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients limiting the productivity of terrestrial, wetland and aquatic ecosystems. Over the last decade several research projects were conducted on Florida's ecosystems from state and federal agencies and private industry to address water quality issues, and to develop management practices to control nutrient loads. Phosphorus Biogeochemistry in Sub-Tropical Ecosystems is the first thorough study of the role of phosphorus in ecological health and water quality ever published. Because of its vast and extensively studied ecosystems, Florida has often served as a national laboratory on current and future trends in ecosystem management. The reader will find studies at all levels of biological organization, from the cellular to entire ecological communities. The book is a definitive study of the role and behavior of phosphorus deposition in the upland/wetland/aquatic environment. The papers presented in this book are organized in specific groups: ecological analysis and global issues, biogeochemical transformations, biogeochemical responses, transport processes, phosphorus management, and synthesis. Although Florida's ecosystems are used as a case study, the results presented have global applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Nutrient export from agricultural activities in the Lake Okeechobee watershed has contributed to eutrophication of the Lake and regulatory implementation of a phosphorus (P) Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) rule. Historically, anthropogenic manipulation of hydrology lowered water tables, creating improved conditions for upland forage grass production. This action also increased runoff rates and P loading to the Lake. Hydrologic restoration of historically isolated wetlands within the watershed is a proposed best management practice (BMP) to increase P retention capacities of these wetlands. However, longer hydroperiods could potentially decrease pasture productivity, and as a consequence, adversely affect the economic viability of the cattle industry in the region. Previous studies have shown that soils under longer hydroperiods in the Okeechobee watershed have greater P storage potential than surrounding upland soils. This research primarily focuses on the vegetative component of P storage in pasture wetlands. The objectives were to evaluate biomass production and P storage dynamics in vegetation under various hydroperiods and to determine the efficacy of using an alternative forage grass species to maintain pasture productivity after wetland restoration. Four isolated wetlands in Okeechobee County, Florida were sampled in November, 2004, March, 2005 and July 2005. In this study, total P storage in wetlands (with a 50 m upland buffer) included soil (10cm depth), below ground biomass (BGB), above ground biomass (AGB) and litter components.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In the past century, most of the Lake Okeechobee Basin was used for agricultural purposes. In consequence, a large increase in the lake's nutrient level occurred. These changes in the nutrients level affected the lake's water quality. Among the nutrient elements, phosphorus (P) has been identified as a pollutant carried into the water-bodies. The determination of areas in the lake's Basin with high phosphorus concentrations may improve the prevention of excess phosphorus entering the lake. The overall objective of this research project was to develop a calibration model for the design of a real-time sensor system that detects phosphorus concentration in soils and vegetation of the Lake Okeechobee Basin using reflectance spectroscopy in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) ranges.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Okeechobee is considered to be the «liquid heart» of the interconnected Kissiee River / Lake Okeechobee / Everglades ecosystem of south Florida, USA. This large (1732 square km) shallow lake (mean depth 2.7 m) is vital natural resource; it provides flood protection and water supply and serves as a recreation area for more than 3,5 million people. A diverse littoral region occupies 25 an important habitat for economically important fish and wildlife stocks, including several endangered species. Human activities in the latter part of this century have deteriorated the quality of the Lake Okeechobee ecosystem. Diffuse inputs of nutrients (mainly from cattle ranching and diary operations to the north) have doubled the phosphorus concentration of the lake water between 1970 and 1980. Excess nutrient loading has been the cause of an increased frequency and intensity of blue-green algal blooms -- a signal of lake eutrophication. Surface scums with unpleasant odors as an obvious sign of declining water quality have heightened public concerns and led to the formation of committees and advisory groups to provide recommendations for lake protection and recovery. The water quality monitoring programs were supplemented with a substantial research program. In the wake of the algal blooms in the 1980s several interdisciplinary research projects were initiated, including a study of the lake's phosphorus dynamics, a watershed phosphorus transport and retention study, and a study of the lake's ecosystem. The present volume presents the results of the Lake Okeechobee ecosystem study. The ecosystem study, along with the results of other studies, has provided a scientific foundation for better resource management decisions and has increased our understanding of Lake Okeechobee and subtropical lakes in general.
