Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The City of Winnipeg Water and Waste Department presently operates and maintains 70 Stormwater Retention Basins (SRB's) within its boundaries. Limitations on the number of harvestable basins exist due to time, availability of equipment, site conditions at some stormwater retention basins, and budget. These problems, in addition to the rapid proliferation of weed and algae concentrations observed subsequent to harvesting, resulted in questions with respect to the impact mechanical harvesting has upon chlorophyll a concentrations in SRB's. Water quality analysis indicated that subsequent to harvesting activities, no reduction in chlorophyll a concentration was observed in any of the test basins, despite the removal of aquatic vegetation during harvesting. Plausible explanations for the increase in chlorophyll a following harvesting were discussed and investigated. Historically, harvesting activities had been supported with the application of copper sulphate and simazine based sterilents until the recent ban of these products from SRB application necessitated research into alternatives. Review of alternative emerging weed and algae control methods indicated that the most promising methods available to supplement o replace the aquatic weed harvesting program included sterilized grass carp and the use of the commercially available herbicides Reglone A and Karmex DF. Investigation into the effectiveness of the herbicides Karmex DF and Reglone A indicated that both provided promise as competitive means for weed and algae control, and either could prove to be an important supplement to, or a replacement for, conventional harvesting practices.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stormwater Management Ponds (SMPs) are engineered to receive, store, and treat stormwater runoff before it enters receiving waters in urbanizing landscapes. While these systems are not considered natural, they are typically colonized by aquatic plants. Although submergent and emergent vegetation is common in SMPs, not much is known about their potential impacts on SMP performance. The aim of my thesis project was to investigate the effect of aquatic plants on the water treatment capacity of 15 SMPs in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, over two years (2018-2019). I determined that overall, SMPs serve as sinks for certain water quality parameters including chloride and nitrogen, while being a net source of phosphorus to tributaries. The effect of plants on SMP performance was mixed. Increasing submergent plant biomass was associated with decreasing nitrogen concentrations at outflow locations (p = 0.002, cor = -0.316). Emergent vegetation had no significant impact on stormwater treatment overall, but the invasive species, P. australis was associated with decreasing outflow nitrogen concentrations. Overall, I determined that pond characteristics, including pond size, age, and drainage area are significant drivers of established plant profiles.

Book excerpt: Biology and Control of Aquatic Plants: A Best Management Practices Handbook is the fourth edition of a handbook produced by the not for profit Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Foundation (AERF). The mission of the AERF is to support research and development which provides strategies and techniques for the environmentally and scientifically sound management, conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems. One way the Foundation accomplishes this mission is by producing this handbook to provide information to the public regarding the benefits of aquatic ecosystem conservation and aquatic plant management. The first, second and third editions of this handbook became some of the most widely consulted references in the aquatic plant management community. This fourth edition has been specifically designed with water resource managers, water management associations, homeowners and customers and operators of aquatic plant management companies and districts in mind. Our goal in preparing this handbook is to provide basic, scientifically sound information to assist decision-makers with their water management questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldo Leopold, father of the "land ethic," once said, "The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to begin with." The concept he expressedâ€"restorationâ€"is defined in this comprehensive new volume that examines the prospects for repairing the damage society has done to the nation's aquatic resources: lakes, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems outlines a national strategy for aquatic restoration, with practical recommendations, and features case studies of aquatic restoration activities around the country. The committee examines: Key concepts and techniques used in restoration. Common factors in successful restoration efforts. Threats to the health of the nation's aquatic ecosystems. Approaches to evaluation before, during, and after a restoration project. The emerging specialties of restoration and landscape ecology.
