Book excerpt: The Mississippi River is, in many ways, the nation's best known and most important river system. Mississippi River water quality is of paramount importance for sustaining the many uses of the river including drinking water, recreational and commercial activities, and support for the river's ecosystems and the environmental goods and services they provide. The Clean Water Act, passed by Congress in 1972, is the cornerstone of surface water quality protection in the United States, employing regulatory and nonregulatory measures designed to reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways. The Clean Water Act has reduced much pollution in the Mississippi River from "point sources" such as industries and water treatment plants, but problems stemming from urban runoff, agriculture, and other "non-point sources" have proven more difficult to address. This book concludes that too little coordination among the 10 states along the river has left the Mississippi River an "orphan" from a water quality monitoring and assessment perspective. Stronger leadership from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is needed to address these problems. Specifically, the EPA should establish a water quality data-sharing system for the length of the river, and work with the states to establish and achieve water quality standards. The Mississippi River corridor states also should be more proactive and cooperative in their water quality programs. For this effort, the EPA and the Mississippi River states should draw upon the lengthy experience of federal-interstate cooperation in managing water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.

Book excerpt: Summary of a Workshop on Mississippi River Water Quality Science and Interstate Collaboration summarizes presentations and discussions of Mississippi River and basin water quality management, monitoring, and evaluation programs that took place at a workshop that was held in St. Louis on November 18-19, 2013. The workshop examined a wide array of challenges and progress in water quality monitoring and evaluation in states along the Mississippi River corridor, and provided a forum for experts from U.S. federal agencies, the Mississippi River states, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to share and compare monitoring and evaluation experiences from their respective organizations.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental data can play powerful roles in environmental governance. Monitoring and modeling allow managers to track conditions, trends, and potential futures, while social context shapes how actors use environmental data in policy implementation and assessment. Yet questions remain about how and why environmental information is negotiated and used in water quality policy. The primary goal of this research is to understand the social dimensions of environmental data in the governance of nonpoint source pollution at the land use-water quality nexus, and the ways in which scientific uncertainty informs policy. The dissertation also highlights options to improve the use of environmental data in water quality projects, and to increase the capacity of water governance to adapt to climate change. Focusing first on Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) in the Upper Midwestern U.S., I conducted an online survey of SWCD employees (n=286) to examine the institutional, environmental and individual factors associated with staff use of water quality data. I also asked which of those factors increased the likelihood that an SWCD would implement adaptation measures in response to extreme storm events. Next, through a case study of a market-led water quality program in south central Wisconsin, I studied the effects of monitoring and modeling uncertainty on program development and stakeholder buy-in. I draw on these studies to inform the growing social science literature on how environmental measurement and prediction influence public program formation and implementation, and in turn, how policies influence data production. I found evidence for a positive association between information use and employees' prosocial motivation, or the belief that they helped people and natural resources through their job, as well as the perceived trustworthiness of data, and staff discretion to prioritize programs locally. SWCD employees who were concerned about climate change and used precipitation projections were more likely to work in an office that implemented precipitation adaptation measures. Finally, water quality measurement uncertainty led to an iterative process of deciding how monitoring and modeling would be used to track and prove program progress in the local program case study.
