Download or read book An Evaluation of the Functions and Effectiveness of Urban Riparian Forest Buffers written by Outen and published by International Water Assn. This book was released on 2006 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of urban riparian forest buffers for a number of potential functions. States and local jurisdictions are increasingly requiring riparian buffers during the development of land for urban uses. At the same time these same jurisdictions must meet the requirements of Total Maximum Daily Loads for pollutant reduction, NPDES-Municipal Stormwater Discharge Permits, and other environmental programs, such as, the Chesapeake Bay Program that require not only pollutant load reductions, but also habitat improvements. This research provides needed information urban riparian forest buffers through a field research design that incorporated a contrast between three sites with a high degree of forested riparian buffer with three sites that had a low amount of forested buffer. The research included, hydrologic measurements, pollutant concentration and load measurements, temperature recordation, buffer floristic analysis, and stream benthic community analysis. This study demonstrates the value of urban riparian forest buffers as a Best Management Practice and provides a model ordinance for use in the development of local jurisdiction stream buffer requirements. This report is available as a pay-per-view item only.

Download or read book Riparian Areas written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.

Download or read book Landowner Attitudes Toward Multifunctional Riparian Forest Buffers written by Andrea Carol Ferich and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riparian forest buffers are among the most essential best management practices for improving water quality in Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region. The Chesapeake Bay Program has set specific goals for the state of Pennsylvania to greatly increase the length of streams protected by riparian buffers toward improving downstream water quality, yet the state is behind in meeting these targets. Since large segments of riparian lands are privately owned, an understanding of diverse landowner values and behaviors will inform future buffer project implementation strategies. To assess landowners' willingness (or lack thereof) to plant riparian buffers, a survey was conducted of private riparian landowners within the Upper Penns Creek Watershed of central Pennsylvania. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) suggests that current behaviors explain the likelihood of future behavior. Findings indicate that landowner occupation, education, land use, environmental values, and past behaviors toward riparian lands explain the likelihood to plant riparian forest buffers toward multifunctional ecological and socioeconomic goals. The top five reasons surveyed landowners were interested in planting or maintaining riparian buffers are to stabilize the streambank, improve water quality, aesthetic beauty, to enjoy wildlife, recreation, and solitude. The findings demonstrate the need for applying transdisciplinary approaches sensitive to individual landowner values and behaviors in watershed management decision-making, weaving together ecological and socioeconomic values. The study results reveal that there are tremendous new opportunities for planting riparian buffers in Pennsylvania, where the vast majority (76%) of respondents indicated being very likely or likely to plant trees or shrubs in the future in a riparian buffer on their property, and where 30 percent of respondents expressed interest in learning more about buffers. This study reveals the potential for invigorating interest among landowners in planting new multifunctional buffers through incentive and education efforts. The concept of multifunctional buffers, offering landowners the potential to generate additional income from harvesting products (such as nuts, berries, woody florals, forbs, and potentially woody biomass), provides new incentives for landowners to install riparian buffers on their property. Encouraging the expansion of riparian forest buffers will continue to benefit both natural resources and socioeconomic systems.

This book was released on 1999-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timing could not be better for addressing riparian area management and the resulting impacts of surface water. The Forest Service leadership team has identified water and watershed management as the issue of the upcoming decade. These factors and more have moved riparian forests to the forefront of environmental management. Riparian Management in Forests of the Continental Eastern United States gives you the tools you need to take on this task. Each day, thousands of natural resource professionals face the problems involved in managing riparian forests. The challenge: fragmented ownership, fragmented ecosystems, and diverse interest groups. The solution requires a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on a complex mix of government agencies, private interests, and local communities as exemplified in the following initiatives: Chesapeake Bay Program "Save the Bay" Inland West Water Strategy New York City Watershed Project The Pacific Habitat Strategy The Anadromous Fish Habitat Riparian Management in Forests of the Continental Eastern United States summarizes the state-of-the-art in the management of forested riparian areas. It serves as a desktop reference for natural resource administrators, educators, and on-the-ground managers from industry, consulting firms, and municipal, state, and federal agencies who routinely face the complex problems of protecting riparian areas.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Landscape Architecture can further develop a niche for the design of sustainable productive landscapes. This study attempts to understand a major stakeholders' perceptions and use of riparian buffers and other conservation practices for water quality in an agricultural watershed of Mississippi. A survey was distributed to agricultural producers in the Big Sunflower Watershed of the MS Delta. The survey informs the interested parties of producers' perceptions and uses of riparian forested buffers, perceptions and uses of conservation practices that restore water quality, perceptions of their environment, perceptions of surface water quality, enrollment of governmental incentive programs, and utilization of digital technology. Analysis of this data could lead to a better understanding of the knowledge and attitudes farmers have of the riparian systems and watershed processes at work within the region and factors that influence the farmers' decisions of implementing conservation plans.

Download or read book Watershed Management for Potable Water Supply written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-17 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.
