Book excerpt: The late Professor Reds Wolman in his Foreword to the award-winning second edition said, "This is not your ordinary textbook. Environmental Hydrology is indeed a textbook, but five elements often found separately combine here in one text to make it different. It is eclectic, practical, in places a handbook, a guide to fieldwork, engagingly personal

Download or read book Environmental Hydrology Second Edition written by Andy D. Ward and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technological advances of recent years include the emergence of new remote sensing and geographic information systems that are invaluable for the study of wetlands, agricultural land, and land use change. Students, hydrologists, and environmental engineers are searching for a comprehensive hydrogeologic overview that supplements information on hydrologic processes with data on these new information technology tools. Environmental Hydrology, Second Edition builds upon the foundation of the bestselling first edition by providing a qualitative understanding of hydrologic processes while introducing new methods for quantifying hydrologic parameters and processes. Written by authors with extensive multidisciplinary experience, the text first discusses the components of the hydrologic cycle, then follows with chapters on precipitation, stream processes, human impacts, new information system applications, and numerous other methods and strategies. By updating this thorough text with the newest analytical tools and measurement methodologies in the field, the authors provide an ideal reference for students and professionals in environmental science, hydrology, soil science, geology, ecological engineering, and countless other environmental fields.

Download or read book Geomorphic Processes and Riverine Habitat written by American Geophysical Union. Meeting and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 2001-01-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Science and Application Series, Volume 4. Declines in fish populations and the loss of riverine habitat from human demands on the environment intensify year by year. By considering why and how, and by proposing restoration methods and mitigation strategies, scientists respond forcefully to improve disturbed ecosystems. Geomorphic Processes and Riverine Habitat presents results from recent research in fluvial geomorphology related to the assessment and characterization of riverine and riparian habitat, and the response of biota to changes in their environment. As our understanding of formative processes and how humans occupy and shape the environment grows, we can minimize our impact while enhancing our ability to restore and rehabilitate degraded river systems. For scientists, researchers and students of riverine habitat.

Download or read book The Study of Agricultural Geography written by Thomas A. Rumney and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural geography is defined as the study of the geographical and locational attributes, patterns, and processes of crop and animal farming, and related subjects such as farm land, farm-associated human geographers, environmental issues, and theoretical works on the location of agricultural activities. The study of agricultural geography has produced a large amount of literature. This volume records and presents, in an organized manner, as much as possible of this literature. The entries of this compendium are written in a wide array of languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Russian and others in order to provide the widest coverage possible. The entries include atlases, books, book chapters, scholarly articles from professional journals, conference proceedings, doctoral dissertations, and master's theses. Over 12,000 entries have been recorded here, with the hope that such references will encourage and support the work of students, faculty, and other users.

Download or read book Lateral Stream Migration Rates in the Blue River Watershed Wisconsin written by Jessica Van-Horn and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lateral channel migration is a naturally occurring process within meandering rivers when adjusting to a relatively stable state. Factors like stream power, soil, and streambank vegetation can influence the rate of migration along a channel. Understanding the processes controlling channel migration can be used to determine locations susceptible to nutrient and metal contaminant release and sources of suspended sediment. Many of the recent studies on bank erosion have worked at the small scale of individual sites or reaches, therefore, it is important to examine the spatial patterns and controlling processes at the watershed scale to gather new perspectives and determine the strength of relationships on a larger scale. The purpose of this study was to determine whether migration rates have varied temporally and spatially within the Blue River watershed of southwestern Wisconsin. Furthermore, the effect of changing land use and land management practices on bank erosion were determined using historic survey data from 1830 and aerial imagery from 1940, 1968, 1995, and 2010 with geographic information science (GIS). Potential controlling factors were also determined by statistically comparing stream power and exanimating spatial links between stream power and geomorphic data. Results showed that changes in land management practices have impacted the watershed and the individual reaches within the watershed, wherein there was a general decline of migration rates within two of the reaches as land management practices improved, whereas relatively constant rates were observed within the other reaches. The individual reaches mostly experienced low migration rates within the headwater streams where valleys were narrow and underlain with resistant dolomites, either increased or were consistent throughout mid-reach locations, and generally decreased farther downstream as valleys widened in exposed friable Cambrian sandstones. Stream power was a not a strong, singular explanatory variable, however, there were several reaches where high stream power was associated with high migration rates. Changes in lithology, slope, and sections of channel confinement explain some of the spatial variability in downstream trends. These results can be used in future studies estimating suspended sediment volumes and metal contaminant release from bank erosion within the Blue River watershed. This study also provides evidence of the importance of conducting studies at the watershed scale to better understand the spatial variability of geomorphic process and therefore potentially provide more organized and time-efficient approaches to watershed management.
