Project Prioritization and Stream Restoration Success
The Silver Creek Super Project, in the Ocqueoc River Watershed (Presque Isle County, Mich.), embodies how locally driven efforts lead to broad partnerships and collaboration, successfully accomplishing full restoration of this highest quality tributary by treating stream impacts, invasive species, erosion, and by promoting many other conservation techniques. Protecting and restoring sensitive coldwater ecosystems is more important than ever, with increasing threats and ever dwindling financial support for that type of work. Yet, with the foundation of a system-wide inventory of watershed impacts and a watershed management plan in place, local partners have taken the lead in protecting their high-quality coldwater ecosystem, garnering interest from national organizations and agencies, including Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding.
Watersheds
A watershed is an area of land that divides streams and rivers that drain into different bodies of water. Watersheds perform several important functions: they clean water through processes such as surface runoff and put the water into drinking condition. This is vital as the Mississippi watershed alone cleans and produces 40% of water for the United States. Watersheds are also important for recreation for animals and humans. There are 25 watersheds located within Canada.

Aquatic Vegetation Management in Texas
This document discusses aquatic invasive plant species that can cause problems in Texas water bodies. It outlines that hydrilla covers 45,000 to 80,000 acres across approximately 110 public reservoirs and water hyacinth covers around 6,000 to 14,000 acres across 35 public reservoirs. Giant salvinia also infests over 6,000 acres across Texas and can double in size within a week in optimal conditions. The document examines management options for giant salvinia, including biological control using the giant salvinia weevil, herbicides, and water level manipulation, and estimates treatment costs of $65-100 per acre for infestations at Toledo Bend and Caddo Lake reservoirs.
Evaluation of the soil vulnerability index (svi)
This document evaluates the Soil Vulnerability Index (SVI) for its applicability in an intensively managed high desert irrigation district in Idaho. SVI aims to quantify soil runoff and leaching vulnerability into four categories. The objectives are to evaluate SVI for this arid western watershed and provide recommendations for its use in similar areas. SVI ratings are determined based on criteria involving soil properties, slope, and drainage. Results show that soil type dominates SVI classification in the study area. Application of SVI also requires accounting for irrigation practices and soil conditions.

Sutherland_JMIHPoster
This study examined mudpuppy populations in the St. Clair-Detroit River System using trapping data, environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling, and land cover analysis. The objectives were to determine if eDNA is a useful monitoring tool for mudpuppies and quantify the relationship between land cover and mudpuppy presence. The results showed that sites with higher percentages of forest cover and lower development upstream had higher mudpuppy occupancy. eDNA results were inconclusive for monitoring. Ongoing sampling and protocol adjustments may help validate the use of eDNA to monitor mudpuppy populations.
PosterSutherland_Midwest
This document summarizes a study that used environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the presence of mudpuppies (Necturus maculosus maculosus) along the St. Clair-Detroit River System. The study sampled eDNA from four sites with varying mudpuppy trapping success. Initial results were inconclusive due to inconsistencies. Ongoing eDNA sampling is being integrated with additional samples and protocol adjustments to better understand mudpuppy occupancy. Local habitat restoration appears important for mudpuppy conservation in occupied areas of this degraded river system.

Save the Dunes Update - Green Drinks 9-19-11
Jennifer Birchfield, Water Program Director with Save the Dunes, will update the group on several news items and initiatives.
Save the Dunes in partnership with the city of Valparaiso, was recently awarded a $607,000 EPA grant to improve a large detention area located at Evans & Roosevelt in Valparaiso. The basin feeds into the Salt Creek watershed and eventually into Lake Michigan.
Birchfield said more than 500 acres of developed land drains into the 2-acre Thorgren basin after a storm. That water contains pollutants, such as lawn chemicals, oil and animal feces. The grant money will spur efforts to naturalize the basin to mimic a wetland surrounding to filter pollutants. Concrete will be replaced by a meandering waterway. Turfgrass will be replaced with native plantings that have deep roots that absorb water and pollutants.
Save the Dunes officials hope the Thorgren basin will become a model for other basins in the Lake Michigan watershed.

Deep River-Portage Burns Waterway Initiative
Located in Northwest Indiana, the Deep River-Portage Burns Waterway watershed drains nearly 180 square miles of primarily urban and agricultural land to Lake Michigan through the Portage Burns Waterway. In 2014, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) completed a yearlong baseline water quality study of 35 stream sites in the watershed. Based on the information they collected, nearly 233 miles of stream (80%) in the watershed will likely be included on the draft 2016 303d List of Impaired Waterbodies.
The Deep River-Portage Burns Waterway Initiative brings together local communities and organizations to begin restoring and protecting these waterways for current and future generations to enjoy. This webinar highlights some of the concerns raised by the public and the threats streams in the watershed face affecting recreational use and aquatic life.
Towards IWRM and River Basin Planning in Nepal
The document discusses opportunities and challenges for integrated water resources management in the Bagmati River Basin in Nepal. Key issues include pollution, unplanned urbanization, water scarcity, degradation of cultural sites, riverbank encroachment, sand mining, and overextraction of groundwater. However, opportunities exist through existing acts and regulations, institutions established to manage water resources, tourism potential along the river, public awareness campaigns, and ongoing projects to improve the basin. The document argues for utilizing these opportunities to help address challenges through a integrated river basin management approach.
Georgeann keersm
This document summarizes how natural coastal systems function to control pollution and prevent flooding and storm damage, and the effects of human alterations on these systems. It describes how features like salt marshes, beaches, wetlands and their vegetation naturally improve water quality, attenuate waves and floods, but that activities like coastal development, dams, pollution and draining/filling of habitats have degraded these ecosystem services. The Division of Ecological Restoration works to restore over 1,000 acres of coastal wetlands and 200 miles of streams to regain these lost benefits.
Tim randle dam removal in the united states
The document discusses revitalization of rivers in the United States through dam removal. It provides background on the benefits and impacts of dams, and the history of dam construction and removal in the US. Over 750 dams have been removed, mostly small dams, to help restore rivers and ecosystems. Case studies are presented on dam removals on the Chiloquin River in Oregon, Rogue River in Oregon, and Elwha River in Washington to restore fish passage and ecosystems while managing sediment impacts.

Specifically, it examines case studies of dam removals on the Chiloquin River in Oregon, Rogue River in Oregon, and Elwha River in Washington. For the Elwha River dams, the reservoirs contained major sediment problems that required concurrent dam removal and management of reservoir sediments to minimize downstream impacts.
Integridade Biótica: Revitalização do Rio Willamette
The document discusses the history of pollution and restoration efforts in the Willamette River in Oregon. It describes how the river was once declared an "open sewer" but water quality has improved due to various regulatory actions from the 1930s onward. However, the river and its fish populations still face threats including invasive species, pollution, and lack of access to cold water refuges during heat waves. Overall restoration progress depends on coordinated long-term efforts to improve habitat complexity and allow natural floodplain dynamics.

This document summarizes an approach to exploring water sustainability issues in island communities through community engagement and systems modeling. It involves identifying key issues through discussion with community members, mapping groundwater vulnerability, and developing an interactive systems dynamics model to explore water usage and availability over time under different policy scenarios. The approach has been applied successfully in two Gulf Islands communities in British Columbia to integrate scientific knowledge into policymaking.
Tawatina River Presentation
The document discusses the proposed realignment of the Tawatinaw River and argues that it will negatively impact the river ecosystem and local community. It notes that realigning the river will permanently change it, eliminate important functions, and increase water velocity. It also claims that realignment will be difficult to stabilize, reduce plant and wildlife diversity, and negatively impact fish habitat. Finally, it argues that the Tawatinaw River provides important ecological, educational, heritage and tourism value to the local community that would be lost if the river is realigned.

The document summarizes the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, which was caused by years of severe drought that destroyed crops and exposed dry topsoil to powerful winds. Millions of tons of topsoil blew eastward, depositing sediment as far away as the Atlantic Ocean. In response, the Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resources Conservation Service) was established in 1935 to address soil erosion and conservation. The document then provides examples of dust storms in 1934 South Dakota and 2011 Arizona to illustrate that dust storms remain an issue. It outlines the NRCS approach of Avoiding, Controlling, and Trapping pollutants using various conservation practices and highlights New Jersey's 2014 Soil Health Initiative promoting the use of cover crops.
Avoiding Excess Nutrient Applications
Farmers in Northampton County primarily operate cash grain operations on about a third of the available cropland. Avoiding excess nutrient applications starts with planning and using fertility decision support tools that analyze multiple inputs like soil tests, in-season plant analysis, and nitrogen prediction models. Precision agriculture helps manage variability, increases overall nutrient use efficiency, but requires a major investment in specialized equipment and analysis.
Investing in Natural Infrastructure Provides Multiple Benefits to Communities
Ecological restoration projects provide multiple economic benefits to communities. For example, a natural infrastructure project completed in 2007 at Cape May Point, New Jersey that restored lower Cape May Meadows reduced flood damage costs by an estimated $9.6 million over 50 years. The project was also found to provide $200 million in economic impact for Cape May County and support the region's $5.5 billion tourism industry. Lessons from the case study highlight the importance of clearly defining objectives, collecting economic baseline data, and leveraging the multiple benefits of natural infrastructure projects.
Lehigh Valley Return on Environment Study
This document summarizes the results of a study on the economic value of natural lands and environmental services in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania. It finds that:
1) Natural lands like forests and wetlands provide services worth $105-849 million annually, including flood mitigation, water purification, habitat and more.
2) Trees remove $48 million worth of air pollutants annually and sequester $3.6 million in carbon.
3) Outdoor recreation supported by natural areas contributes $236-556 million annually in economic output and supports over 4,000 jobs.
4) Proximity to open space increases nearby property values by up to 14%, representing $1.87 billion
What's a River Worth
This document summarizes an economic impact study on the cold water fishing and boating industries along the Upper Delaware River. It finds that these industries generate $414 million annually for the local economy. However, inconsistent water flow releases from upstream reservoirs have negatively impacted the fishing industry in recent years. Maintaining more consistent water levels could boost the economic benefits by $274 million. The study examined expenditures by anglers and boaters, economic multipliers, and contributions to local businesses to determine the industries' total economic impact.
Protecting Water Resources in Lower Saucon Township
The document discusses Lower Saucon Township's Natural Resource Protection Overlay Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance aims to protect natural resources such as wetlands, floodplains, woodlands, and steep slopes by establishing protection rates for these areas. For example, floodplains and wetlands have a 100% protection rate where no development is permitted. Wetland buffers have an 85% protection rate. The township also focuses on outreach and partnerships to educate residents on protecting water resources and establishing streamside buffers.

The Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Act of 1978 (Act 167) requires counties to develop watershed plans to coordinate stormwater management across municipal boundaries, outlines 13 required plan elements, and places responsibilities on counties and municipalities to adopt and implement ordinances consistent with approved watershed plans. The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission assists Lehigh and Northampton Counties in developing hydrologic models and watershed plans under Act 167, and provides review of municipal ordinances to ensure consistency with watershed plans. Act 167 plans aim to balance development and flood control through release rate criteria, while more recent plans also incorporate water quality requirements.
Meet the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The document introduces the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a federal agency within the United States Department of the Interior dedicated to the management of fish, wildlife, and natural habitats. The agency works to protect endangered species and their ecosystems, as well as manage migratory birds, certain marine mammals, and sport fish. It also oversees the enforcement of federal wildlife laws, international wildlife trade, and environmental contaminants that affect wildlife.
