متن کاملWater quality response to riparian restoration in an agricultural watershed in Vermont, USA.
Achievement of management goals for Lake Champlain (Vermont/New York, USA and Quebec, Canada) will require reduction of agricultural phosphorus loads, the dominant nonpoint source in the Basin. Cost-effective phosphorus reduction strategies need reliable treatment techniques beyond basic cropland and waste management practices. The Lake Champlain Basin Agricultural Watersheds National Monitorin...
متن کاملSmall Reservoir Impacts on Stream Water Quality in Agricultural, Developed, and Forested Watersheds: Georgia Piedmont, USA
Small reservoirs are prevalent landscape features and an important component of headwater hydrology. Tens of thousands of small ponds, most less than a hectare, were constructed over the past century within the United States. While remote-sensing and geographic-mapping technologies assist in quantifying these features, their influence on water quality is less well understood. This study reports...
متن کاملCombined effects of best management practices on water quality in oxbow lakes from agricultural watersheds
Water quality conditions in three oxbow lakes were examined before and after best management practices (BMPs) implementation within the Mississippi Delta. Experimental design called for the development of structural and cultural treatments to reduce sediment and associated pollutants entering watershed oxbow lakes. Three watersheds were selected and developed with different levels of BMPs. Chan...
متن کاملA Comparison of Alternative Methods for Prioritizing Buffer Placement in Agricultural Watersheds for Water Quality Improvement
Two methods have been developed for identifying locations in watersheds where vegetative buffers would yield greater benefit for reducing agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The methods were compared and contrasted to evaluate the degree to which they identified the same or different locations within a watershed. The two methods included the terrain analysis-based topographic index, TI, (Qi...
