Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over-enrichment can result in toxic algal blooms, shellfish poisoning, coral reef destruction, and other harmful outcomes. All U.S. coasts show signs of nutrient over-enrichment, and scientists predict worsening problems in the years ahead. Clean Coastal Waters explains technical aspects of nutrient over-enrichment and proposes both immediate local action by coastal managers and a longer-term national strategy incorporating policy design, classification of affected sites, law and regulation, coordination, and communication. Highlighting the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," the Pfiesteria outbreak in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and other cases, the book explains how nutrients work in the environment, why nitrogen is important, how enrichment turns into over-enrichment, and why some environments are especially susceptible. Economic as well as ecological impacts are examined. In addressing abatement strategies, the committee discusses the importance of monitoring sites, developing useful models of over-enrichment, and setting water quality goals. The book also reviews voluntary programs, mandatory controls, tax incentives, and other policy options for reducing the flow of nutrients from agricultural operations and other sources.

Download or read book Water Pollution written by Allen V. Kneese and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public agencies and industry will probably spend tens of billions of dollars on new water pollution abatement facilities in the next few decades. Added billions will be spent for the operation of new and existing facilities. How can physical science research reduce the cost of achieving objectives? And how can social science research make sure that the right objectives are being efficiently pursued? This title, first published in 1962, is directed to the orientation of the research effort, and the tool used for this purpose is an economic framework. This book will be of interest to students of economics and environmental studies.

Download or read book Distributional Aspects of Water Pollution Control Programs written by Rupa Basu and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of benefits and costs associated with any environmental policy is often the critical issue that determines its political viability. This is particularly true for lower income economies. This book studies the crucial aspect of the equity of pollution control programs. The Yamuna River in Delhi meets most of the water requirements of its 14 million residents and the government of India has been following a multi-pronged strategy since early 1990s to tackle the acute pollution problem of the river. The question of who bears the burden of these significant costs is analyzed by this book. A contingent valuation study of households in the city, and the statistical analysis of the survey data using multilevel modeling methods, aims at estimating the incidence of benefits from these water pollution control programs on different income groups. Provision of safe drinking water is one of the biggest problems confronting urban development professionals all over the world today and the issues discussed in this book are likely to be of interest to scholars and policymakers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control and/or treatment of stormwater discharges and combined sewage overflows from urban areas are problems of increaseing importance in the field of water quality management. Over the past decade much research effort has been expended and a large amount of data has been generated, primarily through the actions and support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Storm and Combined Sewer Research and Development Program. Presented in this text are selected results of a comprehensive investigation and assessment of promising, completed and ongoing projects, representative of the state-of-the-art in abatement theory and technology; a look at recent legislation; and the identification of program needs and emphasis. Combined sewer overflows are major sources of water pollution problems, but even discharges of stormwater alone can seriously affect water quality. Current approaches involve control of overflows, treatment and combinations of the two. Control may involve maximizing treatment with existing facilities, control of infiltration and extraneous inflows, surface sanitation and management, as well as flow regulation and storage. A number of treatment methods have been evaluated including high rate screening and microstraining, ultra high rate filtration, dissolved air flotation, physical/chemical treatment, and modified biological processes. A swirl flow regulator/solids separator of anular shape construction with no moving parts has been developed. High rate disinfection methods including new disinfectants have been applied. Promising approaches involve integrated use of controls and treatment. The most disappointing have generally lacked flexibility in their operation and design. Mathematical models have been developed and successfully applied at multiple levels of sophistication and complexity.

Download or read book Water Pollution Policies and the American States written by John A. Hoornbeek and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between federal and state water pollution policies is revealed and assessed in this incisive volume. Focusing on Congress's statutory directions in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and state compliance, this study throws into relief the complex and often troubled relationship between the laws enacted by Congress and the public policies produced by state governments that implement them. Compliance at the state level can be affected and sometimes disturbed by state politics, particular policymaking processes, and the effects of federal oversight practices. As convincingly demonstrated in these pages, American water pollution policy reflects neither runaway bureaucracies nor Congressional control, but rather a complex intergovernmental process that is structured around Congress's statutory directions.
