Institutional challenges for implementing PES in Sasumua watershed, Kenya
Institutional challenges for implementing PES in Sasumua watershed, KenyaPro-poor Rewards for Environmental Services in Africa ICRAF
This document summarizes some of the institutional challenges for implementing payments for ecosystem services (PES) in the Sasumua watershed in Kenya. Land use changes have negatively impacted watershed services like reduced dry season flows and increased sediment loads. Scientific evidence shows agroforestry and other practices can improve watershed functions. However, accessing funds and implementing projects on privately owned land is difficult under the current catchment management structure. For PES to work, the roles of potential payers like the Nairobi Water Company and receivers like upland communities need to be clearly defined, and the facilitation and funding roles of government agencies also need adjustment through policy changes.Comp Plan 2020 Public Input Summary
The document discusses water resource issues in the Coon Creek Watershed District. It provides background on the district and outlines its mission to manage water resources. Key issues discussed include declining water supply from groundwater and surface water sources. Changing precipitation patterns are exacerbating supply concerns. Demand for water is increasing for uses like drainage and recreation. Flood control and water quality are also indirect demand issues. The document classes water resource issues as serious, deteriorating, or sustainable based on the threat level and availability of management strategies. Input is sought from attendees on resource needs and management expectations going forward.

The document summarizes a feasibility study conducted by the UK government to assess the viability of constructing tidal power schemes in the Severn Estuary. It outlines the background and objectives of the study, as well as the 10 options originally considered and the 5 options shortlisted after public consultation. The shortlisted options include barrages and lagoon schemes. Decisions on whether to support a scheme are expected in late 2010 after further environmental assessments and public consultation. The study is evaluating the options across technical, economic, environmental and regulatory dimensions to inform the government's decision.

This document summarizes new stormwater management requirements for municipalities covered under the MS4 permit program. It outlines general requirements for a written stormwater management plan, education and outreach programs, public participation opportunities, illicit discharge detection and elimination protocols including outfall mapping and monitoring, construction site runoff controls, post-construction stormwater management standards, and municipal "good housekeeping" procedures. It provides details on specific elements required within timeframes of years 1 through 5 of the permit including catchment mapping, construction ordinances, infrastructure mapping, impervious surface tracking, and retrofit assessments. Funding strategies like stormwater utilities and fees based on property use and impervious surface are also summarized.
Threats to water resources across national park system units
This document summarizes threats to water resources across national park system units based on assessments from 54 parks. The main threats identified are diversion of water, organic wastes, sediments, metals, nutrients, and acid deposition. Specific sources of these threats include dams, upstream water users, land development, grazing, septic systems, sewage, logging, urbanization, agriculture, atmospheric deposition, dumping, and coal-fired power plants. The document also notes themes around limiting development, air and water quality links, stakeholder and water law complications, lingering effects of resource extraction, and management's ability to mitigate some impacts. It acknowledges issues with the availability and consistency of basic water quality and biota data across parks.

Tamar Catchment Plan 2012: Summary
The Tamar Catchment Plan has adopted a stakeholder-led ‘ecosystem services’ approach to catchment planning. This has involved the host organisation working with stakeholders to identify areas within the catchment which play, or have the potential to play, a particularly important role in the delivery of clean water and a range of other benefits (services) to society.
19. Role of Enforcement in Catchment Management
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.
Taw River Improvement Project - Science Day
This document summarizes data on orthophosphate levels in the Taw River catchment in Devon, England from 1990 to 2012. The key points are:
- Highest orthophosphate concentrations were found in the upper reaches of the Taw River from Yeo Farm to Chenson.
- Orthophosphate levels varied greatly from year to year. Flow and monthly trends indicate point sources like sewage treatment works and a dairy factory contributed significantly.
- Diffuse (non-point) sources contributed an estimated 30-60 micrograms per liter of orthophosphate.
- Applying proposed UK standards retroactively shows the entire catchment has failed water quality standards for orthoph
CaBA Citizen Science and Volunteer Monitoring Resource Pack (hi res)
Environmental monitoring by the voluntary sector is fundamental to the success of the Catchment-Based Approach (CaBA), helping to fill important knowledge gaps and engaging all sectors of society in identifying water management issues, and delivering solutions to protect and enhance the freshwater environment Many catchment partnerships are developing monitoring programmes, which involve volunteers, members of the public and a wide range of community groups in collecting, reporting and analysing monitoring data. This resource pack seeks to share the experience gained by many of the partnerships by signposting useful guidance, tools, equipment and case studies. The pack also includes details of more specialist equipment and techniques for use by experts, as the most successful monitoring programmes typically combine crowd-sourced data covering large spatial areas with localised hi-spec monitoring and modelling. The resource pack was first published in 2015 and has now been updated for 2016 with additional equipment and case studies. It is also hosted on the CaBA website where it will be updated regularly: www.catchmentbasedapproach.org/volunteer-monitoring. If you have something to add or would like to know more… get in touch: info@catchmentbasedapproach.org post on the CaBA Forum: www.catchmentbasedapproach.org/discussions contact the CaBA partnerships: www.catchmentbasedapproach.org/catchment.

DSD-INT 2015 - Tools to optimise power production and environmental effects -...
This document discusses tools to optimize power production from tidal and salinity gradient energy sources while minimizing environmental effects. It proposes developing computational models to optimize energy production from tidal turbines and salinity gradient systems while reducing environmental impacts. The models would assess near-field hydrodynamics, turbine design, and far-field effects on habitats, fish, birds and mammals. Validating models with measurements is also discussed to better understand flow, sediment transport, and morphological changes to optimize locations for tidal turbines and intake/outfall positions for salinity gradient systems.

This document summarizes efforts to improve water quality and river habitats in the UK. It notes that 7,000 combined sewer overflows have been improved, bathing water quality has increased from 78% to 98%, and otter populations have increased tenfold over 30 years. However, diffuse pollution from agriculture remains a challenge. The document advocates for engaging stakeholders, sharing knowledge, and taking integrated catchment approaches to restoration through projects like restoring a section of the River Ribble and the RESTORE partnership. The goals for future river management plans are to achieve the healthiest water environments possible through clear frameworks and public engagement.

The document summarizes the key components and requirements for developing a River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) according to the European Union's Water Framework Directive. It outlines 17 sections that must be included in an RBMP, such as characterizing the river basin, identifying pressures and impacts, setting environmental objectives, implementing measures, and monitoring programs. The document provides guidance on the mapping, data, and analysis required for each section to comprehensively manage water resources at the river basin scale.Water wetlands ecosystem services
This document summarizes a presentation on wetlands and their ecosystem services. It discusses how wetlands provide important services like water regulation, purification, and storage. It provides examples of how assessing the economic value of these services, such as avoided water treatment costs and flood prevention savings, has supported decisions to conserve and restore wetlands. The presentation emphasizes that recognizing both qualitative and quantitative benefits, in addition to economic values, is important for decision-making. It concludes by noting that tools like natural capital accounting and payments for ecosystem services can help integrate wetland values into broader systems.

It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

Introduction to mapping and geographical information systems
Nick Paling's (WRT Head of Evidence & Engagement) overview presentation to the IFM- and SFCC-hosted 'Mapping Environmental Management Workshop' held in Edinburgh on the 1-2nd March 2016. To meet the growing threats to the environment and biodiversity posed by anthropogenic pressures and climate change; to make the most efficient and effective use of the limited resources available for conservation, and to fulfill our statutory conservation targets, there is now a growing imperative for conservation and fisheries management organisations to analyse and visualise spatial evidence to inform their work and to undertake landscape-scale conservation strategy development. As a result of this increased demand, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have now become a powerful and flexible tool used by many environmental scientists, ecologists and conservation biologists engaged in a wide array of work activities.
Rapid, fine-scale remote sensing to support targeted catchment management
Nick Paling's (WRT Head of Evidence & Engagement) presentation on the work Westcountry Rivers Trust has been do with the University of Exeter to trial rapid, low-cost remote sensing technologies (with a specially developed smartphone app, a remote controlled drone and fine-grained Structure-from-Motion – SfM – photogrammetric modelling), and assessed the potential of this approach for targeting catchment management interventions designed to mitigate sources and pathways of diffuse agricultural pollution mobilisation at a farm/field scale. The study has also examined the benefits of using this approach compared to the use of freely available topogrpahic data obtained from Tellus SW LiDAR aerial survey (funded by NERC).

CaBA GI & Urban Water Management Workshop
Collaborative delivery of green infrastructure and water management solutions (e.g. SuDS) in the urban environment can realise multiple benefits including reduced flood risk, improved water quality and biodiversity, greater amenity and enhanced community health and well-being. In March 2016, the CaBA Urban Working Group, in collaboration with the Defra Urban Ecosystem Services Project (www.urbanwater-eco.services) and Ciria (www.ciria.org), hosted a series of workshops designed to build capacity and expertise within CaBA partnerships to help drive greater collaborative delivery within the urban environment.
Urban Environmental Benefits Conference Oct 2015 Pitches
The Delivering Environmental Benefits for Urban Communities Conference included a ‘show and tell’ symposium designed to meet the objectives of the Urban CaBA Sub-Group: 1) champion the Catchment Partnership approach to water management in urban areas; 2) support CaBA partnerships nationwide by helping them to build capacity, expertise and engage more effectively with stakeholders, communities, developers, funders and businesses, and 3) promote the benefits and raise awareness of partnership working in the urban environment. During this session practitioners, strategic planners and academics were given 5 minute slots to introduce their work/expertise and to signpost people to their resources or further information. These 'pitches' were divided into: 1) practical delivery of interventions; 2) strategic tools/approaches (incl. CBA, targeting, design/optioneering); 3) help and guidance for urban practitioners, and 4) engagement, communications and partnership working. Speakers will be invited to say what they have done, what their objectives were and what the outcome of the work was/is intended to be.
Nick Paling Lecture on river catchment water quality assessment
In this 1 hour lecture Dr Nick Paling, the Westcountry Rivers Trust's Head of Data, Evidence & Communications illustrates how the pressures degrading water quality in a catchment can be assessed and their sources determined. Once done, this allows a carefully tailored and targeted plan of action to be formed to reduce these impacts.
WRT CaBA/CRF Conference 02/12/14 - Steve Granger
This document discusses using stable isotopes to trace sources of phosphate in the River Taw catchment area. Phosphate concentrations in the river have been increasing, causing parts of the catchment to fail water quality standards for phosphorus. The document establishes baseline stable isotope signatures for different potential phosphate sources like soil, fertilizer, and manure. Isotope ratios were then measured for phosphate samples collected from sites across the catchment area. Preliminary results suggest the main sources of phosphate in the upper catchment are sewage treatment works, septic tanks, and possibly mineral fertilizers, with septic tanks being a diffuse source that could explain rising concentrations. More sampling is needed to better understand phosphate dynamics and identify other contributing sources

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
