Chemically-Treated Composted Biosolids Enhance Water Conservation and Quality on Urban Landscapes
Water conservation is a priority in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and other major Texas cities that routinely face water shortages and drought. Soil management is fundamental to water conservation efforts. Incorporation of composted biosolids (CB) in low quality soils can enhance water conservation and provide organic carbon and nutrients that improve growth of vegetation and limit sediment loss...
متن کاملWater Conservation Through Facilitation on Residential Landscapes
Plants can have positive effects on each other in numerous ways, including protection from harsh environmental conditions. This phenomenon, known as facilitation, occurs in water-stressed environments when shade from larger shrubs protects smaller annuals from harsh sun, enabling them to exist on scarce water. The topic of this paper is a model of this phenomenon that allows search algorithms t...
متن کاملWater Quality and Movement in Agricultural Landscapes
Water quality refers to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of surface waters and groundwaters that determine their suitability for use by humans and aquatic life. Both natural and managed landscapes provide an important ecosystem service by maintaining water quality, which is key for water supply, recreational use, aesthetic values, and biodiversity, including fish and wildl...
متن کاملLinking social simulation and urban water modelling tools to support adaptive urban water management
The sustainable evolution of urban areas requires the assessment of the imposed pressures and the estimation of the effect of alternative responses to the urban water resources system. Such estimation entails, to a large extent, uncertainties mainly due to the complex nature of the system and its interaction with society’s subjective beliefs and (rational or otherwise) decisions. These uncertai...
