Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note provides a brief overview or a technique for assessing functions and values of wetlands. The Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET) version 2.0 (Adamus et-al. 1987) represents a revision of a technique developed for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (Adamus 1983). WET is intended to address regulatory and environmental planning needs for multifunction assessment of wetland areas. It consists of documentation to implement the technique and software to aid in data analysis.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual outlines a Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET) for the assessment of wetland functions and values. WET is a revision of the method developed for the Federal Highway administration (FHWA) that has often been referred to as the Federal Highway Method or the Adamus Method . Wetland functions are the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of a wetland. Wetland evaluates the following functions and values: ground water stabilization, sediment/toxicant retention, nutrient removal/transformation, production export, wildlife diversity/abundance, aquatic diversity/abundance, uniqueness/heritage, and recreation. WET evaluates functions and values in terms of social significance, effectiveness, and opportunity. Social significance assesses the value of a wetland to society in terms of its special designations, potential economic value, and strategic location. Effectiveness assesses the capability of a wetland to perform a function because of its physical, chemical or biological characteristics. Opportunity assesses the opportunity of a wetland to perform a function to its level of capability. WET was designed primarily for conducting an initial, rapid assessment of wetland functions and values.

Download or read book Wetlands written by Committee on Characterization of Wetlands and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-09-20 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wetlands" has become a hot word in the current environmental debate. But what does it signify? In 1991, proposed changes in the legal definities of wetlands stirred controversy and focused attention on the scientific and economic aspects of their management. This volume explores how to define wetlands. The committee--whose members were drawn from academia, government, business, and the environmental community--builds a rational, scientific basis for delineating wetlands in the landscape and offers recommendations for further action. Wetlands also discusses the diverse hydrological and ecological functions of wetlands, and makes recommendations concerning so-called controversial areas such as permafrost wetlands, riparian ecosystems, irregularly flooded sites, and agricultural wetlands. It presents criteria for identifying wetlands and explores the problems of applying those criteria when there are seasonal changes in water levels. This comprehensive and practical volume will be of interest to environmental scientists and advocates, hydrologists, policymakers, regulators, faculty, researchers, and students of environmental studies.
