Book excerpt: "The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the influences of urbanization on long-term streamflow patterns in different physiographic regions of North Carolina. Specifically, I selected, mostly, low-order streams in the three physiographic regions of Mountain, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain. ArcGIS was used to generate watersheds for each of the study sites using Digital Elevation Models downloaded from the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program. Streams were chosen for each study area based on the available streamflow data from the US Geological Survey. Impervious surfaces were then extracted from the 2006 National Land Cover Database. Nine metrics were selected to run on each of the stream station chosen using Statistical Analysis System. The metrics used in this study were chosen with the intention of seeing a pattern develop within the counties and across the different physiographic regions. It was expected that changes in long-term streamflow patterns are related to the urbanization process that has occurred in a watershed, and that some metrics of streamflow show urban influences better than others. In other words, not all the streamflow metrics reveal equally the relationships between land use change and streamflow patterns. The metrics used in this study, for the most part, appeared to be effective, especially for the Piedmont sites and to a lesser extent the Coastal Plain and Mountain sites."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book Synopsis Effects of Urbanization on Stream-riparian Zone Connection Along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina by : Jeremy J. Robbins

This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headwater stream reaches, vital areas of exchange between upland and aquatic systems, are commonly affected by stream burial because they constitute a large fraction of total stream length and are more economically feasible to bury than higher order streams. In the U.S., much of the work concerning stream burial has occurred in large cities (e.g. Baltimore, Detroit), but this has been widely overlooked in smaller municipalities, particularly those located within the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The objectives of this study were to determine how urbanization affects drainage density (via stream network alterations such as burial and channelization) and influences the adjacent riparian vegetation and instream organic carbon retention in low-order Coastal Plain streams. For the purpose of this study percent total impervious area (%TIA) was used as a proxy for urbanization. It was hypothesized that urbanized watersheds (>20% TIA) would have a higher piped ([less than or equal to] 15 in. or [greater-than or equal to] 38 cm diameter) drainage density than suburban and rural watersheds (20% TIA). It was also hypothesized that watersheds with20% TIA would depict stream-adjacent riparian buffer degradation and reductions in instream organic matter concentrations. Seven watersheds (1.0 km2 to 3.3 km2) were chosen to portray a range of urbanization influences on receiving streams across an urban land-use gradient of 6.9% to 65.6% TIA. For each watershed, nested sampling (stream sediment and water quality) was performed at upstream, midstream, and downstream sites. In-situ evaluations of buffer integrity and stream assessment were performed at the same sites. Results indicated that piped drainage density and %TIA were strongly correlated (R=0.99) across each full watershed and all sub-watersheds (R=0.86). Results also indicated that streamside riparian areas with 20% TIA were relatively unaltered while20% TIA ranged from somewhat altered to severely altered. Results of the instream organic matter analysis depicted significant relationships with non-purgeable organic carbon (p0.05) and the non-purgeable organic carbon to total dissolved nitrogen ratio (p

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 Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. 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.
