Download or read book Lakes and Watersheds in the Sierra Nevada of California written by John M. Melack and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sierra Nevada, California’s iconic mountain range, harbors thousands of remote high-elevations lakes from which water flows to sustain agriculture and cities. As climate and air quality in the region change, so do the watershed processes upon which these lakes depend. In order to understand the future of California’s ecology and natural resources, we need an integrated account of the environmental processes that underlie these aquatic systems. Synthesizing over three decades of research on the lakes and watersheds of the Sierra Nevada, this book develops an integrated account of the hydrological and biogeochemical systems that sustain them. With a focus on Emerald Lake in Sequoia National Park, the book marshals long-term limnological and ecological data to provide a detailed and synthetic account, while also highlighting the vulnerability of Sierra lakes to changes in climate and atmospheric deposition. In so doing, it lays the scientific foundations for predicting and understanding how the lakes and watersheds will respond.

There are areas of numerous lakes, but it is not well determined why--perhaps because they are new lands; and areas of no lakes, where the barriers are worn down. In composition: fresh, having overflow, in northern regions that have been glaciated, but relation of effects to cause has not been clearly set forth; salt, in dry regions, no overflow. No examples by name. This paper as published seems too condensed to do justice to its author. Jukes and A. Geikie. Manual of Geology, Edinburgh, 1872, p. 460. Most lakes are in rock-basins, and in northern parts of the globe, in greatly denuded regions; basins are of recent origin. They are found first, behind barriers of superficial accumulations, (a) gravel from side stream, (b) land slips, (c) moraines, (d) irregular deposits of detritus as (1) among morainal mounds, (2) among dunes, (3) on drift or boulder clay, (4) between volcanic cones, (5) in craters, maare, (6) lava dams. Second, in rock basins formed (a) by depression of upper part of valleys (suggested but not admitted), (b) by local subsidence as Dead Sea and perhaps lakes of Central Africa, (c) by sinks, as turloughs of Galway, (d) by ice erosion, for the vast majority of lakes in the Northern hemisphere.

Download or read book California Rivers and Streams written by Jeffrey F. Mount and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California Rivers and Streams provides a clear and informative overview of the physical and biological processes that shape California's rivers and watersheds. Jeffrey Mount introduces relevant basic principles of hydrology and geomorphology and applies them to an understanding of the differences in character of the state's many rivers. He then builds on this foundation by evaluating the impact on waterways of different land use practices—logging, mining, agriculture, flood control, urbanization, and water supply development. Water may be one of California's most valuable resources, but it is far from being one we control. In spite of channels, levees, lines and dams, the state's rivers still frequently flood, with devastating results. Almost all the rivers in California are dammed or diverted; with the booming population, there will be pressure for more intervention. Mount argues that Californians know little about how their rivers work and, more importantly, how and why land-use practices impact rivers. The forceful reconfiguration and redistribution of the rivers has already brought the state to a critical crossroads. California Rivers and Streams forces us to reevaluate our use of the state's rivers and offers a foundation for participating in the heated debates about their future.
