Snowmelt Runoff: A New Focus of Urban Nonpoint Source Pollution
Irregular precipitation associated with global climate change had been causing various problems in urban regions. Besides the runoff due to rainfall in summer, the snowmelt runoff in early spring could also play an important role in deteriorating the water quality of the receiving waters. Due to global climate change, the snowfall has increased gradually in individual regions, and snowstorms oc...
متن کاملReducing Nonpoint Source Pollution
76 Vegetated buff ers are a well-studied and widely used agricultural management practice for reducing nonpointsource pollution. A wealth of literature provides experimental data on their mitigation effi cacy. Th is paper aggregated many of these results and performed a meta-analysis to quantify the relationships between pollutant removal effi cacy and buff er width, buff er slope, soil type, a...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution
A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program has been initiated in the North Bosque River Watershed in Texas, USA, where point and nonpoint sources of pollution are of a concern. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which had been validated for flow and sediment and nutrient transport, was applied to quantify the effects of Best Management Practices (BMPs) related to dairy manure management ...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution and Optimal Regulation
This paper analyzes effects of nonpoint source pollution on regulation optimal contracts in asymmetric information situation. We consider a continuum of agents (to formalize major characteristic of nonpoint source pollution) which pollute another agent (affected agent). We distinguish different forms of externalities and examine if it is always necessary to modify optimal contract of each respo...
متن کاملMeasurement of cyanide in urban snowmelt and runoff
Ferrocyanide compounds enter the environment as anti-caking additives to road salts. In illuminated aquatic environments, the salts dissociate and form toxic free cyanide, which can then be lost through volatilization. The most common techniques for analysis of cyanide in environmental samples measure total and free (generally weak-acid dissociable, WAD) cyanide species. Cyanide has been detect...
