This book was released on 2018 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schuylkill River watershed located in southeastern Pennsylvania drains approximately 2,000 square miles and provides services to nearly 1.5 million residents. The water resources provide many benefits and services to the environment, economy and society in the region. The impact of changing climate and land use conditions on these resources has the potential of majorly affecting the day-to-day functioning of the watershed. Water management policies are designed to ensure the availability of water resources to meet the water demand in a region based on historical data. As these policies are based on historical information, it is important to assess the effects of changing climate on water resources in the future, especially with the intensification of climate change. This, coupled with changing land use conditions, could alter the quantity and quality of water resources significantly. The effects of climate and land use change on the water resources were quantified by estimating the runoff produced and the baseflow available in the region under simulated future conditions. The runoff was calculated using the Curve Number method by incorporating the effects of land use and hydrologic soil conditions present in the region. The baseflow was deduced by integrating the effects of the precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and soil moisture in the region. The land use change conditions were projected based on historical change in impervious conditions and future demand projections. The projected land use conditions were used to calculate the Curve Number for the period of 2020-2040. The climate change conditions and hydrologic parameters used for the calculations were derived from the Localized Constructed Analog (LOCA) data and the Bias-Correction Spatial Disaggregation (BCSD) data respectively.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schuylkill River watershed located in southeastern Pennsylvania caters to various services including supplying drinking water to the cities, providing water for power generation, recreation, transportation, irrigation, and supporting ecosystems. Changing climate and land use patterns are likely to impact the water resources by influencing precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and infiltration rates at a local scale. This study attempts to build a hydrologic model to assess the impact of climate and land use change on water resources in the region. The hydrologic model was created within the STELLA modeling environment. The STELLA model was calibrated for three years, from 2007 to 2010, by comparing daily recorded stream flow with the model prediction for stream flow. Downscaled future climate change scenarios were gathered from the Localized Constructed Analogs (LOCA) from 2020 to 2040 for the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 emission scenarios. Three regional land use change scenarios were developed based on historical land use and land cover change trends. The calibrated STELLA model was then run under projected climate and land use scenarios to analyze the effect of those changes on water resources. Results of these simulations indicate that daily streamflow objectives are met 67.68% -76.85% of the time for the time period between 2040-2040 under the RCP 4.5 emission scenarios, and 67.17% - 75.55% of the days under the RCP 8.5 emission scenarios in the Schuylkill River watershed. The impact of land use and land cover change on water resources was found to be insignificant for this region.

Book excerpt: In a short time, the Schuylkill went from being considered waters of "uncommon purity" to being this country's dirtiest river. That distinction resulted in the Schuylkill River becoming the focus of a precedent-setting river cleanup effort from 1947 to 1951.The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania hired a team of engineers to free the Schuylkill from the millions of tons of coal sediment that had filled its bed and raised its floodplain.The Schuylkill River Project Engineers dredged the river and trapped sediment in desilting pools, the kind of practices that river restorations are undertaken to undo today. But at the end of the project, the Schuylkill emerged A RIVER AGAIN.
