This book was released on 2016 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The urbanization of watersheds has caused debilitating effects to downstream aquatic ecosystems in catchments and streams. The implementation of green infrastructure (GI), such as permeable pavements and bioretention facilities, has been shown to alleviate these effects by both reducing runoff and mitigating pollutants; however, the implements are often not designed with a specific goal of water improvement. This study targets understanding a small, impaired urban watershed, and the benefits green infrastructure may have to provide environmental, social, and economic improvement to the watershed. Portions of Rolla including much of the S&T campus drain into the impaired urban waterbody Frisco Lake, plagued with poor water quality, eutrophication, and a substantial fish kill that took place in 2014. Lake phosphorus (P) concentration serves as a good indicator of freshwater quality due to its pertinence to algal growth. Beginning in the fall of 2014, monitoring methods, involving sampling and laboratory analysis, were used to support the modeling of stormwater runoff flows and P loads at outfalls draining into the contaminated lake. Monitoring results showed TP yields of 17 and 31 kg/ha/yr and mean-annual concentrations of 0.43 and 0.42 mg/L at the stormwater outfalls to the lake and were used in mass balance modeling to determine a required 40% P loading reduction to improve lake quality. Recommendations for upstream stormwater management, including a proposed GI plan were developed. Stormwater improvements were projected and used in a post-GI implemented Frisco Lake mass balance model, resulting in healthy lake P levels. The project methodology and watershed improvement plan are to be utilized by city managers for watershed management planning"--Abstract, page iv.

Book excerpt: Research undertaken to determine the effects of highway stormwater runoff on receiving waters. Included in this effort were one-year field studies at three sites and preparation of three user oriented manuals: (1) a guidelines manual for conducting field studies of receiving water effects, (2) a procedural manual for use in writing NEPA documents, and (3) a resource document which summarizes all existing information on receiving water effects.

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 2021-04-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The immediate goal of this Special Issue was the characterization of land uses and occupations (LULC) in watersheds and the assessment of impacts caused by anthropogenic activities. The goal was immediate because the ultimate purpose was to help bring disturbed watersheds to a better condition or a utopian sustainable status. The steps followed to attain this objective included publishing studies on the understanding of factors and variables that control hydrology and water quality changes in response to human activities. Following this first step, the Special Issue selected work that described adaption measures capable of improving the watershed condition (water availability and quality), namely LULC conversions (e.g., monocultures into agro-forestry systems). Concerning the LULC measures, however, efficacy was questioned unless supported by public programs that force consumers to participate in concomitant costs, because conversions may be viewed as an environmental service.

Book excerpt: The objective of frequency analysis in a hydrologic context is to infer the probability that various size events will be exceeded or not exceeded from a given sample of recorded events. Two basic problems exist for most hydrologic applications. First the sample is usually small, by statistical standards, resulting in uncertainty as to the true probability. And secondly, a single theoretical frequency distribution does not always fit a particular data-type equally well in all applications. This manual provides guidance in fitting frequency distributions and construction of confidence limits. Techniques are presented which can possibly reduce the errors caused by small sample sizes. Also, some types of data are noted which usually do not fit any theoretical distributions.
