Small 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 کاملUse of Green Roofs for Ultra-urban Stream Restoration in the Georgia Piedmont (usa)
Stormwater management has traditionally focused on the use of conveyances to quickly move stormwater runoff from urban centers into nearby rivers, streams, and lakes. The increased flow caused by impervious surface cover (ISC) leads to runoff rates that are amplified by kinematic processes as they travel through the municipality’s stormwater system. Elevated runoff volumes and rates lead to hig...
متن کاملEffect of Soils on Water Quantity and Quality in Piedmont Forested Headwater Watersheds of North Carolina
Water quantity and quality data were compared from six headwater watersheds on two distinct soil formations, Carolina Slate Belt (CSB) and Triassic Basins (TB). CSB soils are generally thicker, less erodible, and contain less clay content than soils found in TB. TB generated significantly more discharge ⁄precipitation ratio than CSB (0.33 vs. 0.24) in the 2009 dormant season. In the 2009 growin...
متن کاملModeling the Effects of Greenbelts at the Urban-Rural Fringe
We present and evaluate an agent based model (ABM) of land use change at the rural-urban fringe, comparing its performance to a mathematical model of the same process. Our simplified model was developed in Swarm using agents with heterogeneous preferences and a landscape with heterogeneous properties. The context of this work is a larger project that includes surveys of the preferences of resid...
متن کاملSmall Reservoir Distribution, Rate of Construction, and Uses in the Upper and Middle Chattahoochee Basins of the Georgia Piedmont, USA, 1950-2010
Construction of small reservoirs affects ecosystem processes in numerous ways including fragmenting stream habitat, altering hydrology, and modifying water chemistry. While the upper and middle Chattahoochee River basins within the Southeastern United States Piedmont contain few natural lakes, they have a high density of small reservoirs (more than 7500 small reservoirs in the nearly 12,000 km ...
