NUTRIENTS RUNOFF PROCESS FROM NON-POINT SOURCES IN ONGA RIVER WATERSHED

Quality of Urban Runoff in the Tijuana River Watershed

A sampling program was conducted to assess the quality of runoff associated with a variety of land uses in the Tijuana River watershed, a binational river basin on the U.S. Mexican border. Generally, metal concentrations in samples collected during the first two to four hours of runoff (early storm) were higher than those in samples collected 24 36 hours into the rain event (late storm). A nota...

Determining Sources of Fecal Pollution in the Blackwater River Watershed,

Asynchronous Changes in Vegetation, Runoff and Erosion in the Nile River Watershed during the Holocene

The termination of the African Humid Period in northeastern Africa during the early Holocene was marked by the southward migration of the rain belt and the disappearance of the Green Sahara. This interval of drastic environmental changes was also marked by the initiation of food production by North African hunter-gatherer populations and thus provides critical information on human-environment r...

ArcEGMO-URBAN--hydrological model for point sources in river basins.

The new model ArcEGMO-URBAN aims at deterministic and spatiotemporal modelling of water, nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes from all urbanised areas of a river basin considering all potential sources. Pollution loads are calculated for discrete urban patches and balanced on the level of hydrological subbasins. Modelling results can be defined by the user of any level of spatial and/or temporal aggr...

Trends in Agricultural Sources of Nitrogen in the Altamaha River Watershed

We compiled USDA Census of Agriculture data on livestock production and agricultural land use along with USGS estimates of fertilizer use to evaluate trends in agricultural sources of nitrogen (N) to the watershed of the Altamaha River. Between 1954 and 2002, the estimated contribution of N from the three major livestock crops (cattle, chickens, and pigs) remained fairly stable, averaging appro...
