Evaluation of Sustainable Yield for a Small Rural Watershed

Predication of sediment delivery ratio in a small agricultural watershed

environmental sustainable management of small rural tourist enterprises

rural and nature tourism has experienced high growth over the past 20 years. one of the primary challenges facing rural tourism management is to establish a profitable and environmentally sustainable industry. moreover, sustainable tourism is a complex concept and it requires that nature and tourism activity should be studied from an integrated point of view. in this paper, we analyze how the e...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of runoff and sediment yield in a small agricultural watershed with KINEROS2

Using the Monte Carlo (MC) method, this paper derives arithmetic and geometric means and associated variances of the net capillary drive parameter, G, that appears in the Parlange infiltration model, as a function of soil texture and antecedent soil moisture content. Approximate expressions for the arithmetic and geometric statistics of G are also obtained, which compare favourably with MC gene...

Los Osos, California: a Proposal for a Sustainable Community within a Sustainable Watershed

In January 1993, the American Institute of Architects and the International Union of Architects announced the "Sustainable Community Solutions" ideas competition. This paper describes principles and concepts illustrated in an award winning design competition entry based in Los Osos, California. The focus of this entry is the transformation of a suburban bedroom community on the California coast...
