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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let the Water Do the Work is an important contribution to riparian restoration. By "thinking like a creek," one can harness the regenerative power of floods to reshape stream banks and rebuild floodplains along gullied stream channels. Induced Meandering is an artful blend of the natural sciences - geomorphology, hydrology and ecology - which govern channel forming processes. Induced Meandering directly challenges the dominant paradigm of river and creek stabilization by promoting the intentional erosion of selected banks while fostering deposition of eroded materials on an evolving floodplain. The river self-heals as the growth of native riparian vegetation accelerates the meandering process. Not all stream channel types are appropriate for Induced Meandering, yet the Induced Meandering philosophy of "going with the flow" can inform all stream restoration projects. Induced meandering strives to understand rivers as timeless entities governed by immutable rules serving their watersheds, setting their own timetables, and coping with their own realities as they carry mountains grain by grain to the sea. Anyone with an interest in natural resource management in these uncertain times should read this book and put these ideas to work.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring the impacts of exurbanization on streams poses several challenges to researchers that include accurately predicting where residential development is likely to occur, and obtaining landowner permission to access streams on private lands. Here, we implemented two complimentary strategies for detecting changes to streams on private lands undergoing the early phases of urbanization. The first phase of this study was a "top-down", long-term monitoring project that utilized a predictive land use/land cover model to accurately forecast residential development in selected sub-watersheds. We detected differences in water chemistries and fish communities between forested and suburban sub-watersheds that fall in line with the "urban stream syndrome" and suggest the early phases of biotic homogenization. Next, we developed and tested the Southern Appalachian Stream Visual Assessment Protocol: a "bottom-up", landowner-centered, habitat survey, modified for wadable streams of the Southern Blue Ridge eco-region. Field testing of the protocol demonstrated that individual scoring elements correlate strongly with paired habitat metrics, while overall scores correlate with fish index of biotic integrity scores. We also showed the protocol can reliably be used by both novice and expert users to determine overall stream habitat ratings. Lastly, in an interdisciplinary investigation of the relationship between landowner perceptions of stream health and stream habitat condition, we found most of photo-survey respondents generally prefer streams with forested riparian zones, and that these preferences change depending on whether streams are used for recreation vs. aesthetic enjoyment. To our knowledge this is the first study to incorporate a "top-down", scientist-led, long-term ecological monitoring project; and a "bottom-up" landowner-centered stream habitat assessment, in an investigation of stream responses in watersheds undergoing different degrees of residential and commercial development. Our work demonstrates the importance of including private lands in studies of ecological change in regions undergoing rapid development, and the benefits of engaging landowners in stream stewardship. Our hope is to provide a model for future collaborative and interdisciplinary projects that seek to bridge the gaps between academic research, conservation practice, and public perception.
