Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upsurge of interest in watershed management and planning has increased the need for user friendly, interactive methods that decision makers can use to evaluate the economic and environmental consequences of alternative land use/management practices (LUMPs). Emerging computer technologies including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing and expert systems, are needed to effectively analyze different components of a landscape and their interactions. Knowledge and information from several disciplines are integrated into a functional computer-based watershed management decision support system (WAMADSS). WAMADSS consists of three components: (1) a GIS, (2) an economic model, and (3) an environmental simulation model. The three components are accessed through a graphical user interface which enables decision makers to generate scenarios, change LUMPs, run the Cost and Returns Estimator (CARE) program and the Agricultural Non-Point-Source (AGNPS) pollution model, and view results of these models within a GIS. The technical expertise required to manipulate the spatial and non-spatial data is imbedded in WAMADSS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excessive application of plant nutrients and pesticides on agricultural land has resulted in both environmental degradation and economic loss to the farming community. Agricultural non-point source pollution was cited as the primary source of the water quality problems in many areas of the United States. Environmental concerns resulting from agricultural non-point source pollution has placed demands on farmers and ranchers to implement the best management practices (BMPs) to reduce the delivery of pollutants to streams and aquifers. Precision agriculture, a relatively recent crop production and agricultural management strategy holds great promise to minimize environmental pollution while to maximize economic productivity and profitability. It has benefited from rapidly evolving geospatial information technologies, such as global positing systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and electronic sensors and "intelligent" controllers. However, the complexity of making routine, coherent, and cost-effective farm management decisions presents a formidable challenge to farmers. What is lacking in precision agriculture is an analytical tool that integrates these component technologies with biophysical and economic models for tactical, strategic, and policy-level decision make.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains most of the scientific contributions to the workshop ``Prediction of Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution: Model Selection and Application'' held in Venice, in the historic Ca' Vendramin Calergi, in June, 1984. Other contributions of specialists who were not able to attend the workshop have also been included in an attempt to make the work more complete. It is hoped that this collection will be useful to planners who operate in the field of agricultural diffuse source pollution, since several contributions are state-of-the-art presentations and others are specialized studies by American and European researcher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GIS and Environmental Modeling: Progress and Research Issues Michael F. Goodchild, Louis T. Steyaert, Bradley O. Parks, Carol Johnston, David Maidment, Michael Crane, and Sandi Glendinning, Editors With growing pressure on natural resources and landscapes there is an increasing need to predict the consequences of any changes to the environment. Modelling plays an important role in this by helping our understanding of the environment and by forecasting likely impacts. In recent years moves have been made to link models to Geographical Information Systems to provide a means of analysing changes over an area as well as over time. GIS and Environmental Modeling explores the progress made to date in integrating these two software systems. Approaches to the subject are made from theoretical, technical as well as data stand points. The existing capabilities of current systems are described along with important issues of data availability, accuracy and error. Various case studies illustrate this and highlight the common concepts and issues that exist between researchers in different environmental fields. The future needs and prospects for integrating GIS and environmental models are also explored with developments in both data handling and modelling discussed. The book brings together the knowledge and experience of over 100 researchers from academic, commercial and government backgrounds who work in a wide range of disciplines. The themes followed in the text provide a fund of knowledge and guidance for those involved in environmental modelling and GIS. The book is easily accessible for readers with a basic GIS knowledge and the ideas and results of the research are clearly illustrated with both colour and black and white graphics.

This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonpoint-source pollution (NPSP) poses a special challenge to society's ability to manage its collective environmental good - especially surface and groundwater quality. Since there is no `point', such as an outfall pipe, from which the pollution is being discharged and can be measured, pollution can reach the ambient environment without being monitored. Since management of air and water polution requires the definition and enforcement of limits on discharges or the imposition of fees on those discharges, inability to measure limits our ability to manage this environmental problem. This book presents a state-of-the-art review and discussion of economists' efforts to resolve this major problem and attempts to provide a way of working around it. The book sets forth the theoretical issues, modeling, and the actual programs set up to confront this issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most environmental studies are based upon data collected at fine spatial scales plots, sediments, cores, etc.. Furthermore, temporal scales of these studies have been relatively short days, weeks, months and few studies have exceeded three years duration the typical funding cycle.; Despite this history, environmental scientists are now being called upon to extrapolate findings from "plot-level" studies to broader spatial scales and from short-term studies to longer temporal scales, up to decades for questions related to long-term processes such as global warming and the rise in sea level.; The complex questions being addressed internationally require that scientists take advantage of new technologies including remote sensing, geographic information systems GIS, and powerful climatic and environmental simulation models. As more environmental scientists begin to work at these broader spatial and temporal scales, and to utilize many of the newer technologies, they are recognising a whole new class of problems.; This book aims to address the most pertinent issues, and includes a comprehensive review of selected topics, case studies, and theoretical discussions, divided into seven sections each preceded by a brief introduction.

This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GIS and Geocomputation for Water Resource Science and Engineering not only provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of geographic information systems but also demonstrates how GIS and mathematical models can be integrated to develop spatial decision support systems to support water resources planning, management and engineering. The book uses a hands-on active learning approach to introduce fundamental concepts and numerous case-studies are provided to reinforce learning and demonstrate practical aspects. The benefits and challenges of using GIS in environmental and water resources fields are clearly tackled in this book, demonstrating how these technologies can be used to harness increasingly available digital data to develop spatially-oriented sustainable solutions. In addition to providing a strong grounding on fundamentals, the book also demonstrates how GIS can be combined with traditional physics-based and statistical models as well as information-theoretic tools like neural networks and fuzzy set theory.
