Land use impacts on surface water quality by statistical approaches
Surface waters are the most important economic resource for humans which provide water for agricultural, industrial and anthropogenic activities. Surface water quality plays vital role in protecting aquatic ecosystems. Unplanned urbanization, intense agricultural activities and deforestation are positively associated with carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous related water quality parameters. Multip...
متن کاملThe effects of precipitation, river discharge, land use and coastal circulation on water quality in coastal Maine
Faecal pollution in stormwater, wastewater and direct run-off can carry zoonotic pathogens to streams, rivers and the ocean, reduce water quality, and affect both recreational and commercial fishing areas of the coastal ocean. Typically, the closure of beaches and commercial fishing areas is governed by the testing for the presence of faecal bacteria, which requires an 18-24 h period for sample...
متن کاملWater Quality in Coastal Waters
The aim of this work is to introduce the potential of satellite-based remote sensing data to agencies responsible for monitoring and managing water quality in the coastal zone of Western Australia. There exists a knowledge and/or expertise gap between satellite data providers and potential end users. This project aims to close the gap by developing a fundamental management tool that will be geo...
متن کاملSpatial patterning of water quality in Biscayne Bay, Florida as a function of land use and water management.
An objective classification analysis was performed on a water quality data set from 25 sites collected monthly during 1994-2003. The water quality parameters measured included: TN, TON, DIN, NH4+, NO3-, NO2-, TP, SRP, TN:TP ratio, TOC, DO, CHL A, turbidity, salinity and temperature. Based on this spatial analysis, Biscayne Bay was divided into five zones having similar water quality characteris...
متن کاملKerala's Coastal Area: The case for a coastal zone management plan covering coastal land and water
The beautiful coast of Kerala is as much a part of the unique dynamics of Kerala's social history as its natural history. The several ports on the coast facilitated commercial and cultural links of a population confined between the idyllic Western Ghats ranges and the Arabian Sea. These links extended to almost all the major ancient civilizations in the world. The fortuitous winds blowing over ...
