Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetland and Stream Rapid Assessments: Development, Validation, and Application describes the scientific and environmental policy background for rapid wetland and stream assessments, how such assessment methods are developed and statistically verified, and how they can be used in environmental decision-making—including wetland and stream permitting. In addition, it provides several case studies of method development and use in various parts of the world. Readers will find guidance on developing and testing such methods, along with examples of how these methods have been used in various programs across North America. Rapid wetland and stream functional assessments are becoming frequently used methods in federal, state and local environmental permitting programs in North America. Many governments are interested in developing new methods or improving existing methods for their own jurisdictions. This book provides an ideal guide to these initiatives. Offers guidance for the use and evaluation of rapid assessments to developers and users of these methods, as well as students of wetland and stream quality Contains contributions from sources who are successful in academia, industry and government, bringing credibility and relevance to the content Includes a statistically-based approach to testing the validity of the rapid method, which is very important to the usefulness and defensibility of assessment methods

This book was released on 2009 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water temperature is a physical property that fundamentally affects stream ecology and is considered an important water quality parameter from scientific and legal view points. On global, catchment and reach scales, anthropogenic activities have substantially altered natural stream temperature regimes, impairing these systems' ability to maintain ecological integrity. Thermal degradation often can be attributed to a variety of human activities, and global climate change, which has been accelerated by the demands of an exponentially expanding human population, will play a central role in defining stream temperature regimes in the future. Natural spatial and temporal variability in stream temperatures adds to the complexity of regulating thermal pollution and restoring natural conditions of stream ecosystems. As such, managers would benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the thermal dynamics and primary drivers, including air temperature, of the thermal energy budgets in unaltered, or reference, streams. In this study, a random coefficient regression model was developed and used to analyze variability in summer daily average water temperatures and the relationship between summer daily average air and water temperatures of thirty-six of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality's reference streams. These streams represent four of Montana's seven Level III ecoregions: Middle Rockies, Northern Rockies, Northwestern Glaciated Plains, and Northwestern Great Plains. Variability in stream temperatures between ecoregions, between streams within ecoregions, and the air-water temperature relationship were primary considerations. This model indicates that there is not significant variability between ecoregions in Montana's reference stream temperatures and in the air-water temperature relationship. Alternately, the model indicates that there is significant variability between streams within each ecoregion in reference stream temperatures and the air-water temperature relationship. Equations representing the expected daily average water temperatures of reference streams, given values of daily average air temperature with zero and one-day lag, are also presented. Finally, the management implications of this predictive model are discussed, and a holistic approach is recommended for developing thermal regime-based stream temperature standards, which are critical for the restoration and maintenance of ecological integrity, based on 1natural' conditions in reference streams.
Download or read book Biological Assessment and Criteria written by Wayne S. Davis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-03-03 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Assessment and Criteria presents a state-of-the-art overview of the applications of biological assessments and biocriteria for water quality management in fresh waters. The book presents case studies which illustrate how bioassessment has been used to identify and diagnose water quality problems. It also provides examples of the use of qualitative and quantitative biocriteria as regulatory tools to complement water quality criteria and standards. The first book to present the technical foundation, rationale, program and policy relevance, and legal basis for the most accurate tools used to assess freshwater natural resource and regulatory efforts, this book provides useful and timely information for water quality managers.
