Book excerpt: For several years, Ryan Schnurr watched media coverage of Lake Erie algae blooms with a growing sense of unease. An Indiana native, he wanted to learn more about role of the Maumee River in the lake's environmental woes: the Maumee is Lake Erie's largest tributary and the center of the largest watershed in the region, spanning more than 6,600 square miles of land. So in the summer of 2016, Schnurr walked and canoed the length of the river from its headwaters in Fort Wayne, Indiana to its mouth in Toledo, Ohio. In The Watershed: A Journey Down the Maumee River is the story of that voyage. As he walks the banks, Schnurr tells us the history of the river, from its formation by glaciers, function in Native American and American history, uses by industry, and role in current economic and environmental issues. Part cultural history, part nature writing, and part narrative, In the Watershed is a lyrical work of non-fiction in the vein of John McPhee and Ian Frazier with a timely and important warning at the core. "What is happening in Lake Erie," Schnurr tells us, "is a disaster by nearly any measure―ecologically, economically, socially, culturally."

This book was released on 2018 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current water quality targets for Lake Erie call for a 40% reduction in total phosphorus (TP) and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) from 2008 levels from the Maumee River watershed. Previous studies have shown pathways to reaching these targets through widespread implementation of agricultural best management practices due to the large impact agriculture has on the water quality discharged from the watershed. Approximately 88% of the total phosphorus delivered to Lake Erie from the watershed comes from agricultural fertilizer and manure applications. Although a large focus on achieving these water quality targets is on management of agricultural land practices, many unknowns exists about the impact manure applications have on the water quality discharged from the watershed.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Lake Erie has seen a surge in harmful algal blooms that are largely attributed to agricultural runoff in the Maumee River Watershed. Local action and public influence can improve local water quality, but changing behaviors relies on an understanding of the beliefs or perceptions that motivate action. A better understanding of what influences public perceptions of local water quality and how accurate these perceptions are compared to actual water quality may be necessary to motivate local pro-environmental behavior. There is not currently a consensus about how different factors will influence public perceptions and accuracy of water quality. Although there is a clear focus in the literature on how organoleptic properties drive public perceptions (e.g., a water body is considered good if it smells and looks good). This study uses observational water quality data combined with perceptions of water quality to determine how demographic factors (such as age, gender, education, income, and proximity) and information environments (such as issue attentiveness, issue understanding, and trust in stakeholders) influence local perceptions and the accuracy of those perceptions in the Maumee River Watershed. Our results indicate that demographic factors are poor predictors of both perceptions and accuracy, while the most predictive factor was a respondent’s trust in agricultural stakeholders. Specifically, we find that water quality is more likely to be perceived as good and better than it actually is among those who highly trust agricultural stakeholders. This suggests that future research and communication efforts should focus on how different channels of communication are presenting local water quality issues. In this area with a particularly large agricultural influence, these results may indicate that individuals are motivated to believe the water is better than it is due to their agricultural interests. On the other hand, they may actually be receiving information from agricultural stakeholders that downplays local issues, versus information from environmental stakeholders that may overstate the problem.
