Manzanita Village is a student housing complex at UCSB that originally faced challenges with stormwater management due to its proximity to vernal pools and the ocean. The project was redesigned with bioswales, wetlands, and experimental plant palettes to treat stormwater runoff naturally before discharge. Water quality testing showed significant reductions in nitrates and phosphates. The redesign created habitat, reduced pollution, and provided educational opportunities while lowering costs through less irrigation and maintenance needs.

Water harvesting – a solution to drought & falling level of ground water ...
This document discusses water harvesting as a solution to drought and falling groundwater levels in India. It notes that 65% of India's population depends on agriculture, which relies on available water, but that due to factors like deforestation and industrialization, rainfall has decreased. This has led to more frequent droughts and increased pressure on groundwater. The document proposes that water harvesting, which means saving and storing every drop of rainwater, is the key to addressing frequent droughts and maintaining groundwater levels. It discusses traditional and modern water harvesting methods like rooftop collection, dams, and recharging groundwater. If implemented widely, water harvesting could help restore groundwater supplies and mitigate the effects of drought.

Indigenous water management for flood and drought
The lecture delivered at the Post Graduate Institute of Humanities and Social sciences, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka on 8th October 2017 with following content:
River basin-level planning; Network of tanks and streams; Cascade ecology; Tank-village ecosystem; Traditional Agricultural Practices in adaptation to drought; Rainwater harvesting from rock
Bulleri and Chapman 2010 Paper discussion
The introduction of coastal infrastructure can impact marine environments through habitat fragmentation, unnatural materials affecting colonization, and altering intertidal zones and nearshore areas. Infrastructure like breakwaters, groynes, jetties, seawalls, pilings, docks, and aquaculture facilities can change marine life distributions, sediment movement, biodiversity, and water quality. Future research is needed to better understand how ecological processes are affected and species interact on artificial structures to help mitigate human impacts through improved ecological engineering and coastal management.
Opportunities for a Water Sensitive Greater Sydney
This document discusses opportunities for adopting a water sensitive approach to planning in Greater Sydney. It argues that current approaches to urban development risk not delivering expected social, environmental, and economic outcomes, while a water sensitive approach could help create more sustainable, resilient, productive, and livable cities. The Greater Sydney Commission is uniquely placed to provide leadership on this issue. The document then provides principles of water sensitive planning and identifies four key opportunities for the Commission to facilitate best practices: 1) embedding water sensitive principles into district plans and planning instruments, 2) improving inter-agency cooperation on water infrastructure, 3) leading reforms to finance and governance arrangements, and 4) strengthening implementation of plans.

The project involved grading the stream to reconnect it to its floodplain, stabilizing banks, and revegetating the area. Monitoring was done through surveys and photos. The project aimed to demonstrate stream restoration techniques for impaired streams in the region and encourage further public projects. Key issues included thin soils, intermittent flows, and past land use impacts in the islands. Future work involves studying reference streams and increasing public awareness of restoration.
10. Restoring the River Camac - Mary-Liz Walshe, DCC
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for restoring the Camac River in Dublin City while managing flood risk, supporting urban renewal, and adapting to climate change. The river suffers from channelization, loss of floodplains and wetlands, and lengthy culverts. Restoration requires tackling existing issues and avoiding new pressures. Opportunities include maximizing green space, rezoning industrial lands, and creating a greenway. Successful restoration requires considering the whole catchment and securing sufficient land, and balancing priorities like flood protection, development, and environmental goals. Planning tools like new zoning objectives can help protect land for restoration and climate adaptation.
Source reduction for urban stormwater
This document discusses limitations of end-of-pipe stormwater management and examines opportunities to take a more integrated biogeochemical approach. It highlights that structural BMPs have variable performance and high costs, and don't effectively treat all pollutants. Taking a multiple barrier approach moving treatment upstream through low impact design and source control can help address these issues. Understanding biogeochemical processes involved in urban watersheds provides insights on improving stormwater management strategies.
Drought in California
California has experienced several severe droughts in the last century, including ones from 1928-1935 and 1987-1992. Droughts are caused by a lack of precipitation and can be exacerbated by climate change. During droughts, groundwater supplies become increasingly important as surface water supplies decline. The state must prepare for droughts by promoting integrated water management, water conservation, and developing local and regional water supplies.

Ecological impacts of dams & water diversions
Dams and water diversions can have both positive and negative ecological impacts. Positively, dams provide benefits like hydropower, irrigation, flood control and more. However, they can also harm wildlife such as disrupting fish migration and reducing sediments downstream. This impacts wetland species and water quality. Dams may also cause erosion of downstream areas and change water temperature, flow and salinity levels. Large dam projects have additionally displaced many people from their homes. Examples highlighted are the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.

Indian villages
Indian villages are a strength for India for several reasons. Over 68% of Indians live in villages and they depend mainly on agriculture and small-scale industries. Villages provide food for the country through agriculture and many city workers come from villages. Small industries in villages like handlooms and dairy support employment. Villages have a simpler lifestyle with limited consumption of resources. However, villages also face some weaknesses like old beliefs, lack of education and facilities, and many villagers moving to cities. Overall, the document concludes that villages are India's biggest support and strength despite some challenges.
Final rural-development-in-india
The document discusses rural development in India. It outlines how the concept of rural development has changed over time, from a focus on agriculture to a more holistic approach addressing quality of life. Some key challenges include high rural poverty rates, especially among scheduled castes and tribes. The document then discusses various government programs and approaches over the decades to promote rural development, community development, empowering local governments, and more recent programs focusing on employment, infrastructure, housing, and social services.
Rural development (In India)
Rural development is a complex process that aims to improve living conditions in rural areas. It requires integrated efforts across sectors like infrastructure, public services, health, education, employment and standard of living. While the government and private sector have undertaken development initiatives, rural areas still lag significantly behind cities in these areas. Effective rural development strategies require addressing issues like inadequate infrastructure, lack of opportunities, traditional mindsets, and ensuring balanced growth between rural and urban regions.

Measured effects of conservation watershed scale
This document summarizes findings from multiple watershed-scale studies on the effects of conservation practices conducted between 2004-2018 as part of the USDA CEAP program. Key findings include:
1) The implementation of conservation practices like cover crops, riparian buffers, and nutrient management plans effectively reduced nutrients and sediments in surface waters in several watersheds across the country.
2) Models were used to identify priority areas for conservation and predict load reductions, however watershed responses were complex and variations in practices and conditions made broad effects difficult to detect.
3) While edge-of-field water quality often improved with conservation practices, stream impacts were more dependent on factors like bank erosion and riparian conditions.

Urban Runoff - Storm Water 101
Urbanization increases stormwater runoff rates, volumes, and frequencies, impairing water quality through pollution and physical alterations to watersheds. The regulatory solution is the Stormwater Program under the Clean Water Act, which requires National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits for "point source" stormwater discharges. Permits regulate both municipal separate storm sewer systems and industrial facilities, and cover elements such as education, illicit discharge detection, construction site controls, and post-construction runoff management. Low impact development techniques aim to restore natural hydrology and protect water quality.
