This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sierra Nevada, California’s iconic mountain range, harbors thousands of remote high-elevations lakes from which water flows to sustain agriculture and cities. As climate and air quality in the region change, so do the watershed processes upon which these lakes depend. In order to understand the future of California’s ecology and natural resources, we need an integrated account of the environmental processes that underlie these aquatic systems. Synthesizing over three decades of research on the lakes and watersheds of the Sierra Nevada, this book develops an integrated account of the hydrological and biogeochemical systems that sustain them. With a focus on Emerald Lake in Sequoia National Park, the book marshals long-term limnological and ecological data to provide a detailed and synthetic account, while also highlighting the vulnerability of Sierra lakes to changes in climate and atmospheric deposition. In so doing, it lays the scientific foundations for predicting and understanding how the lakes and watersheds will respond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dorothy Green has produced a tour de force with her wonderfully clear exposition of the evolution of water-management successes and failures in the greater Los Angeles area and much of the state."—Norris Hundley, author of The Great Thirst: Californians and Water—A History "If you have questions about water management in California, this book holds the answers. Water delivery systems make life possible in California, from natural watersheds and rivers to man-made aqueducts, treatment plants and delivery pipes. Dorothy Green's Managing Water uses the Los Angeles area to tell a statewide story of water supply, drinking water quality and treatment, conservation, recycling, and future planning. How is water kept pure or, when polluted, made clean again? What contaminates lurk in groundwater basins? What agency delivers water to your home? And how are water policy decisions made that effect your future? This is a detailed summary of the complex world of California water management that provides common sense recommendations for the future."—David Carle, author of Introduction to Water in California "For students of California water, Dorothy Green uses the complexity of water management in the Los Angeles area as the essential classroom. This is required reading and a necessary reference for all who participate in southern California's efforts to manage its most limited and threatened resource."—Jeffrey Mount, University of California, Davis, author of California Rivers and Streams

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Research and a Land Management Model for Southern California Watersheds Emergency sowing of herbaceous plants soon after a fire is an accepted practice in southern California watersheds. The purpose of this first aid treatment is to establish a temporary cover for protection of the watershed while the brush is slowly re covering. Although reasons for sowing denuded watersheds are obvious, the effects of sowing have never been quantitatively measured. Does the added cover pay in terms of reduced sedi ment in the stream channels? Are more expensive and more effective revegetation measures justified? The burned water sheds of the experimental forest should answer these questions. Annual species are usually sown because annuals are hardy and rese'ed themselves each year. The seed is abundant and cheap. For years black mustard was the most commonly sown species. In the last 6 years it has been largely replaced by common ryegrass in southern California, but on San Gabriel water sheds the two species have been sown in mixtures. Two other annuals-wimmera ryegrass and Blando brome-are now being used in some sowings. Which of the annuals provides the best cover on different sites? This is another question being studied. Deep - rooted perennial grasses also have been suggested for emergency temporary cover. They are commonly sown where permanent cover is desired, but perennials have never been widely tested on burned-over southern California watersheds. They are now being compared with annuals in the experimental watersheds to see if they provide better cover, especially at upper elevations too cold for good growth of annuals. The comparisons include tests of individual species and mixtures of species as both emer genoy and permanent cover. From October 23 to November 29, a total of acres were sown by helicopter within and adjacent to the experimental forest. An additional 83 acres were sown by hand, and 29 acres were sown with a heavy duty rangeland drill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensively modified over the last century and a half, California's San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary remains biologically diverse and functions as a central element in California's water supply system. Uncertainties about the future, actions taken under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and companion California statues, and lawsuits have led to conflict concerning the timing and amount of water that can be diverted from the Delta for agriculture, municipal, and industrial purposes and concerning how much water is needed to protect the Delta ecosystem and its component species. Sustainable Water and Environmental Management in the California Bay-Delta focuses on scientific questions, assumptions, and conclusions underlying water-management alternatives and reviews the initial public draft of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan in terms of adequacy of its use of science and adaptive management. In addition, this report identifies the factors that may be contributing to the decline of federally listed species, recommend future water-supple and delivery options that reflect proper consideration of climate change and compatibility with objectives of maintaining a sustainable Bay-Delta ecosystem, advises what degree of restoration of the Delta system is likely to be attainable, and provides metrics that can be used by resource managers to measure progress toward restoration goals.

Book excerpt: "This document has been created to guide and suppost every person in the community, from homemaker to elected official, who wants her or his watershed to provide clean water, harvestable fish resources and other proof that life in the watershed can not only be maintained but also enjoyed... This guide briefly reviews the condition of California's coastal watersheds, identifies the kinds of concerns that have led citizens to successful watershed protection efforts, explains why citizen, in addition to government, effort is essential for watershed protection and restoration to succeed, and puts in the reader's hands both the technical and organizational "tools of the trade" in the hope that those who use this guide will be encouraged to join in efforts to make their watershed serve this and future generations better."--p.ix
