Download or read book Ninety nine year Sediment Yield Record of the Middle Cuyahoga River Watershed Contained Within the Ohio Edison Dam Pool written by Kristofer C. Mann and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 17.4 m tall Ohio Edison Dam was constructed in 1912 on the Cuyahoga River near the city of Akron, Ohio. The dam was installed for hydroelectric power and to provide cooling water storage for a coal-fired power plant. During the past century, over 6 m of sediment accumulated in the low-velocity dam pool. A dam pool sediment volume of 765,000 m3 was calculated from geographical information system (GIS) analysis of bathymetric maps from 1918 and 2010, and the thickness of sediment determined by coring. Twelve sediment cores were collected to study the nature and spatial variability of the dam pool sediment deposit. Sediment density, grain size, organic content and magnetic mineral content trace metal concentrations reveal changes in sedimentation within the dam pool. Fly-ash, derived from the burning of fossil fuels, is present in large quantity downstream from the former Ohio Edison coal-fired power plant, whereas it is present in low quantities upstream. Core 4 was 210Pb-dated in order to interpret the sediment deposit in terms of past anthropogenic activities. In addition, combining the sediment age model with sediment density and GIS sediment volume analysis allowed changes in mass accumulation rate and sediment yield to be determined. The dam pool sediment deposit was subdivided into three time intervals. The first time period (1912-1928) was termed the Early Years and is characterized by brown mud having low amounts of fly-ash, elevated trace metal concentrations and a high sediment yield. The second time period (1928-1977) was termed the Burning River and is characterized by dark gray mud having abundant fly-ash layers, high but variable metals, and high magnetic concentration. The third time period (1977-2011) was termed the Later Years and is characterized by dark brown mud with low amounts of fly-ash, declining trace metals, low magnetic concentration, and an increasing sediment yield. Since 1977, the sediment quality has improved in response to the Clean Air Act (1970) and the Clean Water Act (1972). The sediment yield has generally increased since 1928. Between 2004 and 2008 there is a pronounced increase in sediment yield attributed to increased upstream erosion following the removal of the Munroe Falls Dam in 2005 and increased extreme flow events since 2003. The Ohio Edison Dam is being considered for removal as a means of river restoration in the Middle Cuyahoga River. Based on the range of sediment mass accumulation within the Ohio Edison Dam pool since 2001, it is projected that the downstream sediment load will increase by about 4,100-8,400 tonnes/yr of sediment or an average of 6,300 tonnes/yr once the Ohio Edison Dam is removed. The increased sediment flux from the Middle Cuyahoga River will increase the need for dredging at the Port of Cleveland and change sedimentary conditions in the Lower Cuyahoga River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Geologic Monitoring is a practical, nontechnical guide for land managers, educators, and the public that synthesizes representative methods for monitoring short-term and long-term change in geologic features and landscapes. A prestigious group of subject-matter experts has carefully selected methods for monitoring sand dunes, caves and karst, rivers, geothermal features, glaciers, nearshore marine features, beaches and marshes, paleontological resources, permafrost, seismic activity, slope movements, and volcanic features and processes. Each chapter has an overview of the resource; summarizes features that could be monitored; describes methods for monitoring each feature ranging from low-cost, low-technology methods (that could be used for school groups) to higher cost, detailed monitoring methods requiring a high level of expertise; and presents one or more targeted case studies."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment written by Stephanie Fraser and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biological, radiological, chemical and physical traits of water are known as water quality. It is a measure of the water condition related to the requirements of biotic species and to human need. The health of ecosystems, safety of human contact, and drinking water are the most common standards used to measure water quality. Water quality parameters can be categorized into human consumption, environmental water quality, and industrial and domestic use. The measurement of water quality includes the process of sample collection, chemical analysis, real-time monitoring and testing in response to natural disasters. Various environmental indicators such as physical, chemical and biological indicators are also observed and used for the monitoring of water quality. This book explores all the important aspects of water quality in the present day scenario. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

Download or read book Climate Rationality written by Jason S. Johnston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most environmental statutes passed since 1970 have endorsed a pragmatic or 'precautionary' principle under which the existence of a significant risk is enough to trigger regulation. At the same time, targets of such regulation have often argued on grounds of inefficiency that the associated costs outweigh any potential benefits. In this work, Jason Johnston unpacks and critiques the legal, economic, and scientific basis for precautionary climate policies pursued in the United States and in doing so sheds light on why the global warming policy debate has become increasingly bitter and disconnected from both climate science and economics. Johnston analyzes the most influential international climate science assessment organizations, the US electric power industry, and land management and renewable energy policies. Bridging sound economics and climate science, this pathbreaking book shows how the United States can efficiently adapt to a changing climate while radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
