This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City's municipal water supply system provides about 1 billion gallons of drinking water a day to over 8.5 million people in New York City and about 1 million people living in nearby Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, and Orange counties. The combined water supply system includes 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes with a total storage capacity of approximately 580 billion gallons. The city's Watershed Protection Program is intended to maintain and enhance the high quality of these surface water sources. Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program assesses the efficacy and future of New York City's watershed management activities. The report identifies program areas that may require future change or action, including continued efforts to address turbidity and responding to changes in reservoir water quality as a result of climate change.

This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Assessment of Scale Impacts of Watershed Interventions is the outcome of a multi-disciplinary research team of social scientists, hydrologists (groundwater and surface water), modellers; and bio-physical scientists who have worked together over five years to develop an integrated model of the sustainability of biophysical, economic and social impacts of watersheds. Impacts of watershed interventions are assessed at upstream, mid-stream and downstream locations of two hydrological units that are characterised with differential bio-physical attributes. The editors propose that watershed interventions, when integrated with hydro-geology and bio-physical aspects, have greater influence on the resilience of the socio-ecological system. This book takes these aspects in to consideration and in the process provides insights in to watershed design and implementation. Integrates hydrogeology, bio-physical, and socioeconomic aspects of watersheds in a hydrological context Provides a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of watershed interventions Assesses the role of watershed interventions in enhancing household resilience Provides hydrological and socio-economic methodologies for design of sustainble watershed interventions including scale and institutional arrangements for implementing and sustaining watershed interventions

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of reservoirs have contributed to human and economic development through stable water supply, flood control, hydropower generation and other benefits, but in many cases their social and environmental costs have become unacceptable. A central challenge of water resources management is the design and implementation of policies to sustainably allocate water to both humans and the environment. Because of this, there is a critical need to design and implement a framework to identify problems, evaluate performance, and systematically improve water resources management, and to develop quantitative tools to increase economic revenue and human welfare while protecting the hydrologic and environmental integrity of the basin. To address this need, this research first analyses current strategies and research gaps and then develops innovative tools to evaluate alternatives for optimal regional water allocation. The framework was applied to the Rio Grande/Bravo, and it systematically identifies the need to quantify economic impacts of including environmental water allocation, quantifies such impacts using a simulation model, and optimizes regional water allocation using a novel stochastic optimization methodology. Results show that reservoir re-operation provides an opportunity to minimize economic and environmental trade-offs to balance water management objectives and that in some cases, reservoir re-operation for environmental flows is not only hydrologically feasible but also economically desirable. Also, this research demonstrates the usefulness of using a two-stage stochastic optimization to build robust operations for multipurpose reservoirs. Stochastic modeling generally performs better than non-informed decisions and could be used to address future climate change impacts (e.g., extreme floods and droughts). Overall, this research shows the feasibility of allocating water for environmental purposes while meeting current and future social and economic water use objectives.
