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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watershed management is an integrated approach that evaluates system-wide implications of natural resource problems. It has received considerable attention among communities and resource managers as an appropriate approach to deal with complex problems. Problem-solving is an important aspect of watersheds that involves diagnosis, assessment, solution, and implementation issues that often mean processing an enormous amount of information. A typical problem requires compilation of information from a variety of sources and is time consuming. This book will use a problem-based approach to present information on each problem facing watersheds. The subject area derives from a variety of disciplines and experiences and is presented clear and systematically throughout for easy reading and understanding. The problems covered in the book are major ones facing watersheds through the globe. The first chapter introduces principles of watershed management and is followed by chapters that are problem specific. Each problem is dealt with systematically with introduction, analysis, strategies, and further references. Watershed Management provides a valuable reference to professionals, students, scientists, and common citizens who are interested in learning about the variety of problems and approaches in watershed management.

Book excerpt: Coastal watersheds differ from others by their unique features, including proximity to the ocean, weather and rainfall patterns, subsurface features, and land covers. Land use changes and competing needs for valuable water and land resources are especially more distinctive to such watersheds. This book covers recent research relevant to coastal watersheds. It addresses the impact of a stream’s chemical, biological, and sediment pollutants on the quality of the receiving waters, such as estuaries, bays, and near-shore waters. The contents of the book can be divided into three sections; a) overview of hydrological modelling, b) water quality assessment, and c) watershed management. This book differs from other hydrology books by dealing with coastal watersheds which are characterized by their unique features: including weather and rainfall patterns, subsurface characteristics, and land use and cover. In addition to academia, the book should be of interest to organizations concerned with watershed management, such as local and federal governments and environmental groups. Overall, the book is expected to satisfy a great need toward understanding and managing critical areas in many parts of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical linkage exits between watershed conditions and public use and valuation of water resources. As such, the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay and the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute are developing a community-driven watershed plan for Mahon and Wequiock Creeks, two important coastal watersheds situated along Green Bay, Lake Michigan. The Mahon and Wequiock Creeks Watershed Management Plan will meet the US Environmental Protection Agency's Nine Key Elements, which are a set of criteria established under the Clean Water Act Section 319 grant guidelines. Section 319 grant funds can be used to bolster information and education activities in the community as well as incentivize producers and landowners to implement habitat and water quality best management practices. This project is an integrated effort across federal and state agencies, local municipalities, institutional organizations, residential owners, and agricultural producers to address nonpoint source pollution and to protect threatened and impaired waterways. A stream inventory, barnyard inventory, and upland agriculture inventory were conducted to assess the condition of the watershed and the potential factors influencing watershed health, such as sediment and phosphorus loading. The planning process has been directed by a robust stakeholder engagement effort, which included community interviews, a community meeting, and focus groups. The interview questionnaire was designed to identify place-based knowledge and concerns related to conservation and water quality in the watershed. The results of the survey were used to create a list of community-based watershed priorities and informed the structure of the community meeting and the recommended watershed objectives. Upfront community engagement fostered a more meaningful rapport, and thus collaboration, between practitioners and community members during all stages of planning, and thereby, built a strong foundation for the implementation phase. The interdisciplinary community-voiced recommendations prescribed in this plan will work together to protect and improve water quality, terrestrial and aquatic habitat, and community health in the Mahon and Wequiock Creeks watershed. In essence, the Mahon and Wequiock Creeks Watershed Management Plan reflects participatory decision-making, a unique attribute in this region and one that we recommend for similar efforts in the Lake Michigan Basin.

Book excerpt: The Water for Life strategy outlines the Government of Alberta's commitments to manage and safeguard Alberta's water resources, now and in the future. The strategy has been the vehicle for managing Alberta's precious water resources since its release in 2003. Because it has been such an effective tool for managing Alberta's water resources, the Government of Alberta renewed the strategy and will implement a renewed action plan. The Water for Life renewal builds upon the good work already undertaken and reaffirms the Government of Alberta's commitment to the Water for Life approach for the wise management of Alberta's water quantity and quality for the benefit of all Albertans. Five years later, Albertans continue to care about the health of the aquatic environment, as well as issues concerning water quality and quantity. They are also aware of the impacts of climate change, unprecedented economic growth and development, and population demands on Alberta's water resources. The renewed Water for Life strategy and action plan reflect current issues in our province and the recommendations made by the Alberta Water Council. It is a renewal that builds on an already strong foundation to ensure continued sustainable water quality and quantity in Alberta. In most cases, significant foundational work has begun or will be initiated in the short-term.
