Book Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States

Download or read book Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States written by Avril L. de la Cretaz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a long-standing need for a desk reference that synthesizes current research, Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States reviews and discusses the impact of forest management, agriculture, and urbanization. The book provides a gateway to the diverse scientific literature that is urgently needed to understand and solve ubiquitous watershed management problems. The authors use an in-depth approach that focuses on the science behind sound management principles and practices. The book begins with a summary of the scientific principles and processes that define and govern the interactions between activities on land and conditions in streams, lakes, and estuaries. Building on these principles, later chapters progress from basic science to small-scale, controlled field experiments to landscape-scale studies and their watershed management implications. This nested format parallels the development of watershed management projects and solutions. The deliberate integration of land use history, ecology, hydrology, chemistry, and resource management avoids the artificial separation of inter-related watershed characteristics and tracks causes and effects over realistic time scales. The authors present the hydrologic and water quality principles on which to construct management plans for water supply watersheds across a wide range of sizes, configurations, and time scales. Rigorously reviewed by a distinguished panel of scientists and watershed managers, the book benefits from their collective experience across the full range of watershed science and management. It provides a diverse audience with the opportunity to update and expand their knowledge in critical areas of watershed science and management.

Download or read book Trees at Work written by Forest Service (U.S.) and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide showcases the increasing interest in ecosystem services, discusses the motivations for valuations of FES (forest ecosystem services) at the State level, and places this work in the context of economic accounting. Readers may be interested in this report to expand their understanding of approaches used and value forest ecosystem services. However, the intended target audience for this report is State forestry officials charged with requesting, selecting, guiding, and evaluating the results of FES assessments in their states. Foresters, construction officials utilizing forest based products, educators, instructors and students in the fields of environmental science and forestry, environmentalists, and investors in the forest products category may also be interested in this work.

Book Integrated Assessment of Climate and Land Use Change Effects on Hydrology and Water Quality of the Upper and Lower Great Miami River

Download or read book Integrated Assessment of Climate and Land Use Change Effects on Hydrology and Water Quality of the Upper and Lower Great Miami River written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the next 50-100 years it is likely to expect changes in climate and patterns of land-use activities in the Great Miami River basin in combination rather than individually. The ultimate goal of this research work was to apply the integrative approach in examining the potential impacts of hypothetically constructed climate and land-use changes on hydrological system and water quality of the Great Miami River. The research results show that dry climate scenarios paired with future land-use change scenario would reduce the annual flow of the Great Miami River and slightly increase the annual concentrations of phosphorus, total ammonia nitrogen and sum of nitrites and nitrates. The simulation results from combined wet climate scenario and land-use change scenario show a significantly larger increase in annual flow as well as greater presence of nutrients in the water. The study shows very high enrichments of phosphorus in the waters regardless whether it is a dry or wet scenario. In average, total orthophosphates annual concentrations in the Great Miami River showed a 40-50% increase compared to current conditions (from 0.45 mg/l to 0.65 mg/l), which is 2-3 times higher than the EPA suggested Water Quality Criteria for freshwaters. The results from hydrologic simulations indicate that if future climate changes to wet (+20% increase in precipitation), the volume of annual flow will increase in average by 70% compared to current conditions. This will result in a larger number and higher magnitudes of stormflows, which would cause more frequent devastating floods, elevating the risks of economic damages to the populated areas adjacent to the streams. The present study investigated the potential effects of Best Management Practices applications on water quantity and quality of the Stillwater River. Simulations of a number of BMPs showed their effectiveness in reducing pollutant concentrations in the stream, and, hence, improving the water quality. Finally, this dissertation has demonstrated that application of the GIS-based U.S EPA BASINS multipurpose environmental analysis system and HSPF model in concert is a very comprehensive water quality and quantity analysis tool. It can be useful in the implementations of long-term water resources management and development programs.
