Hydrogeology of the Dry Zone, Central Myanmar
Hydrogeology of the Dry Zone – Central Myanmar, is a major study by Dr Leonard Drury, prepared with assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MOALI). The study revises and updates hydrogeological surveys and a drilling program begun in the late 1970s to mid-1980s. It represents an understanding of the groundwater resources of the Dry Zone based on decades of experience from hydrogeologists from Myanmar and Dr Drury’s extensive international experience (read full summary).

Potential Impacts of Pipeline Development on the Landscape of Hopewell Big Wo...Marcellus Drilling News
A report commissioned by several towns in southeastern Pennsylvania that attempts to make the case against a natural gas pipeline--the Commonwealth Pipeline--from running through the area. Construction of the Commonwealth is suspended indefinitely and a final route was never charted, let alone through the area identified in the report, which is titled, "Important Resources of the Hopewell Big Woods and the Potential Impacts of Pipeline Development on the Landscape." The report is so light on facts that one of the towns that requested it wants to see it expanded, to put "meat on the bones." Lots of pretty pictures though!
A Brief Survey on Impact of Flood on Children, Water Sanitation and Hygiene i...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Considerable rainfall raises the water level. When
the water level is higher than the conduit bank, the water
diverts out from the stream, there will surge. Surges are
caused by atmosphere ponders and events that pass on more
precipitation to a waste bowl that can be immediately
absorbed or secured inside the bowl. Surges can be caused by
typical, natural or anthropogenic factors. There are a couple
of purposes behind surges and change from region to area.
Flood is coming to fruition in view of unprecedented
geophysical event to make an astounding danger to human
life and property. Surge occurring in thickly populated locale
can do most extraordinary mischief to life and property.
Country practices and deforestation have altogether changed
the condition in whole stream bowls. Passing, disease, harm,
expulsion of people and fiscal hardship are the standard
consequences of surge. So the purpose of this examination
work is to research the effect of flooding on children, water
sanitation and cleanliness.

Hawkesbury-Nepean River System Coastal Management Program Stage 1 Scoping StudyNeil Dufty
The Hawkesbury-Nepean River system is a major
social, environmental and economic asset for the
state of New South Wales, Australia. This extensive estuary
system encompasses the Hawksbury-Nepean River,
Pittwater, Brisbane Water and Broken Bay, which
span the Greater Sydney and Hunter - Central Coast
regions. Together, these provide a stunning natural
environment, areas of cultural significance, a
multitude of social and recreational benefits, and are
a key contributor to the regional economy.
In accordance with the NSW Coastal Management
Framework, management of the estuary system and
its tributaries will be guided by a Coastal
Management Program (CMP). The six (6) councils
that border the tidal waterways of the system have
agreed to work together through Stage 1 of an
integrated, whole of system CMP. The councils are:
◼ Central Coast
Council
◼ Hornsby Shire
Council
◼ Hawkesbury City
Council
◼ Ku-ring-gai
Council
◼ The Hills Shire
Council
◼ Northern Beaches
Council
The purpose of the CMP is to set the long-term
strategy for the coordinated management of the
system and its catchment. The CMP seeks to
achieve the objectives of the Coastal Management
Act through a program that will identify coastal
management issues, pressures, and risks - and the
actions required to address these issues in a
strategic and integrated way.
This Scoping Study represents the first of five stages
in the CMP process.

2. WELCOME!
The Huron River watershed is a natural treasure.The Huron River meanders through remnant forests, agricultural areas,
and a complex series of wetlands, lakes, and urban environments before flowing into the western basin of Lake Erie. The
watershed (908 mi2
) is home to a half-million people, supplies drinking water to over 150,000 people, supports one of
Michigan’s finest smallmouth bass fisheries, and is the only designated Scenic River in southeastern Michigan. The watershed
contains two-thirds of this area’s public recreation lands, and is home to numerous threatened and endangered plant and
animal species and habitat types. All of this speaks highly to the health and the fragility of this special area, and the need for
active community stewardship.
The State of the Huron Conference is a convening of community stewards and a day of learning,inspiration,and action. This
year,our focus for the conference is“Creating our Blue Future.” The Huron RiverWatershed Council (HRWC) is working
with private and public partners to spark a river renaissance,known as RiverUp! RiverUp! is a plan for the Huron River’s
future – a strategy to realize the goal of a vibrant,robust and fully restored river as a destination for residents and tourists.
RiverUp! approaches this ambitious endeavor with a focus on three objectives – Fix Up!, Clean Up!, and Build Up!. You can
learn more at “RiverUp! Revitalizing the River Corridor” in the Huron River Economy track, Placemaking H2
O session.
We are proud of the progress made on RiverUp! projects up
and down the river. These efforts include clean-ups of contam-
inated properties, water and land trail development, portage
improvements, economic development opportunities such as
restaurants, liveries, and redevelopment, and public outreach
and marketing. This progress is made possible through diverse
partnerships with business leaders, downtown development
authorities, recreational enthusiasts, state and local legislators,
local government planners and staff, artists, and historians. We
hope you will find inspiration in this vision and an area where
you can get involved.
Enjoy the day and thank you for coming,

6. About the Huron RiverWatershed Council
The Huron River Watershed Council (HRWC) coordinates programs and volunteer efforts that include
pollution prevention, hands-on river monitoring, wetland and floodplain protection, public outreach and
education, and natural resources planning. Individuals, local businesses, and more than 40 communities
support its work through voluntary membership.
Founded in 1965, HRWC is southeast Michigan’s oldest environmental organization dedicated to river
protection. Its mission is to inspire attitudes, behaviors, and economies to protect, rehabilitate, and sustain
the Huron River system.
ENJOY. PROTECT. JOIN.
It’s Your River!
It all begins with clean water.That’s why rivers matter to a community.
HRWC invites you to enjoy the beauty and the bounty of the Huron
River, because it is your river. It starts at the headwaters in Oakland
County at Indian Springs Metropark’s Huron Swamp. Flowing 124
miles in a complex system of lakes and wetlands, the main branch
travels through Milford, Dexter, Ann Arbor,Ypsilanti, and Flat Rock to
its final destination, Lake Erie at Point Mouillee.Along its course, 24
major tributaries feed the main stem.
You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the meandering river in the
Scenic River section that starts at Kent Lake Dam in Kensington
Metropark and continues downstream to the Scio-Ann Arbor
Township line. In 1977, HRWC and several citizen groups secured the
“Scenic River” designation for this part of the Huron from Michigan’s
Natural Rivers Program. As a friend of ours always says,“Why drive
200 miles up north to find a beautiful river, when there’s one right
here in Southeast Michigan.”
Smallmouth bass thrive in the main branch of the Huron and common mammals include raccoon, mink, muskrat, beaver, and
deer. Bird species include the great blue heron, a variety of wild ducks, and numerous songbirds as well as migrating bald eagles,
peregrine falcons, Canada geese, ospreys, warblers, and sandhill cranes.
The river is a favorite venue for contemplation or camaraderie among friends, family and recreation lovers with over 35 public
parks along its banks.There are long designated streamside walks in the shade with soothing murmurs and far off scenery
diversified with hills and woods.There are beautiful quiet water paddles on 104 miles of the water trail, swimming, paddle
boarding, fishing and birding adventures.
Whether splashing with your kids in a local creek or filling your glass with water at your kitchen sink, it all begins with clean
water. HRWC will continue to pioneer new ways to safeguard our clean water for our communities today and for future
generations.Visit our website to find a variety of river maps, information on protecting the river, and recreation adventures
on the beautiful Huron River.
Jump in.The water is fine, so go ahead and enjoy your river!
