This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Download or read book Living on Flood Plains and Wetlands written by Maureen Gilmer and published by Lyons Press. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you live on a flood plain or wetland, you know the potential dangers--to you, your family, and your home. A major flood could strike at any time, and you need to be prepared. But of even more immediate concern is the tiresome battle to keep your property free of minor floods and water seepage, which can be just as destructive--and costly--as a major flood. This all-purpose book guides you through the range of options you have to protect your property. And if a problem already exists, it shows you how to tackle the trouble and put your house back in order. The updated edition includes new information about flood plain laws and insurance as well as changes in government agency titles or roles in flood management.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides interim guidelines for the design of management measures for the removal of pollutants from highway stormwater runoff. Three general types of management measures have been determined, through previous FHWA studies, to be effective in treating highway runoff: vegetative controls (overland flow and grassed channels), detention basins (wet detention basins and wetlands), and retention measures (retention basins, trenches and wells). These interim design guidelines have been developed based on experience of the project team and by a thorough review of available literature. Field and laboratory studies are currently underway to verify the design procedures and assumptions presented in this report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldo Leopold, father of the "land ethic," once said, "The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to begin with." The concept he expressedâ€"restorationâ€"is defined in this comprehensive new volume that examines the prospects for repairing the damage society has done to the nation's aquatic resources: lakes, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems outlines a national strategy for aquatic restoration, with practical recommendations, and features case studies of aquatic restoration activities around the country. The committee examines: Key concepts and techniques used in restoration. Common factors in successful restoration efforts. Threats to the health of the nation's aquatic ecosystems. Approaches to evaluation before, during, and after a restoration project. The emerging specialties of restoration and landscape ecology.
