Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health of a natural body of water is inextricably linked to the condition of its watershed. Land cover and land use activities within a watershed are the sources of nonpoint source pollution, the greatest water quality problem facing U.S. waters today, and are influenced by such wide-ranging entities as governmental agencies, industries, conservation groups, farmers, and private property owners. Because traditional regulatory measures have been inadequate in curbing nonpoint source pollution, collaborative watershed management has emerged as a means to improving and protecting water bodies. This study examines one collaborative watershed management program, the Lake Erie Balanced Growth Program, in terms of its effectiveness at developing multi-jurisdictional watershed plans that will likely be implemented in a widespread and consistent manner throughout the watershed. The study identifies the roadblocks encountered by the Balanced Growth Program pilot projects, such as mistrust among participants, the influence of politics, and governmental fragmentation, and offers recommendations as to how the program may be improved to overcome these roadblocks in the future. The study found the most significant problem emerging from collaborative watershed management is that of indifference towards healthy watershed behavior and cooperation in a collaborative effort. Future watershed management efforts should allocate more resources towards education and motivation of local governments particularly to encourage them to participate in collaborative watershed management and follow through on the implementation of the resulting watershed plan.

Book excerpt: "Excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) stimulate algal growth affecting water quality. Ohio EPA completed this study to identify the most environmentally beneficial and cost-effective mechanisms for nutrient reduction. For example, if nonpoint source nutrients are found to be the major contributor of downstream total phosphorus load, as is the case in the Maumee River and other northwest Ohio watersheds, then only focusing remediation on point source nutrients would neither be prudent or efficient to protect downstream waters. While it is too early to detect statistically sound trends, the results of this study show no clear decrease in loading yet, especially in nonpoint source dominated watersheds like the Maumee where the loading in 2017 was the highest of the years reported. This study, along with the other data related to current and past nutrient loadings, can and should serve as a tool to focus research, investment, and policy/legislation decisions to curb phosphorus and nitrogen loading in both the Lake Erie watershed and the Ohio River basin."--Page 2.

Book excerpt: Measuring over 10,000 miles, the Great Lakes coastline, known as the “third coast,” is longer than the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines of the United States combined. It is difficult to overstate the history and future of the region as both a contested and opportunistic site for urbanism. Envisaged as a comprehensive “atlas,” this publication comprises in-depth analysis of the landscapes, hydrology, infrastructure, urban form, and ecologies of the region, delivered through a series of analytical cartographies supported by scholarly and design research from internationally renowned scholars, photographers, and practitioners from the disciplines of architecture, landscape, geography, planning, and ecology. This publication was awarded with a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Download or read book Climate Adaptation Governance in Cities and Regions written by Jörg Knieling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global climate change creates new challenges in particular for cities and regions. As centres of human activity they are especially vulnerable to climate change impacts. Adapting to a changing climate requires dealing with multiple uncertainties and complexity in order to allow proactive action. Therefore, cities and regions around the globe face the challenge of exploring flexible and innovative forms of governance which have to address specific local or regional vulnerabilities and build capacity to accommodate future change. This raises questions about the roles of stakeholders, the involvement of citizens, the composition and use of formal and informal instruments as well as the implementation of different forms of organization and regulation at the local and regional level. This book provides case studies from cities and regions all around the world. It analyses climate change adaptation from a perspective of organizing, administering and implementing local and regional adaptation strategies and measures. It looks into actors, actor-constellations, institutions and networks of climate adaptation. And, it provides the reader with knowledge about good practices and experiences to be transferred for solving adaptation challenges in cities and regions around the globe.
