Incorporating Instream Flow Values into a Water Market
We use laboratory experiments to test three different water market institutions designed to incorporate instream flow values into the allocation. The institutions are (1) a baseline with fixed minimum flow constraints, (2) an environmental agent contributing to the cost of providing instream flows, and (3) creating an instream flow right in which an environmental agent can sell the right to red...
متن کاملUpstream Landscape Dynamics of US National Parks with Implications for Water Quality and Watershed Management
The mission of the United States (US) National Park Service (NPS) is to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations” (NPS, 1916). NPS currently manages 397 parks covering about 358,200 km2, or approximately 4...
متن کاملHabitat Simulation Technique as a Powerful Tool for Instream Flow Needs Assessment and River Ecosystem Management
Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...
متن کاملInfluences of Watershed Urbanization and Instream Habitat on Macroinvertebrates in Cold Water Streams1
We analyzed data from riffle and snag habitats for 39 small cold water streams with different levels of watershed urbanization in Wisconsin and Minnesota to evaluate the influences of urban land use and instream habitat on macroinvertebrate communities. Multivariate analysis indicated that stream temperature and amount of urban land use in the watersheds were the most influential factors determ...
متن کاملLandscape Pesticides and Surface Water Quality
In the United States, home lawns occupy 20-25 million acres. Many residential landscapes also include non-turf systems such as ground covers, shrubs, trees, and mulches. In California alone it was last estimated that environmental horticulture occupied 1.4 million acres. Given the recent boom in new developments, the acreage of residential landscapes as of today may be substantially larger. Res...
