Article 28: Basic Concepts in Watershed Planning
ثبت نشده
چکیده
When developing a watershed plan, it is useful to consider how watersheds are configured. The term management unit is used to describe watersheds and their smaller segments. The two management units that will be focused upon in this handbook are the watershed and the subwatershed. A watershed can be defined as the land area that contributes runoff to a particular point along a waterway. A typical watershed can cover tens to hundreds of square miles and several jurisdictions.

Integrated management of watershed basins depends on deep knowledge of basic concepts such as the arrangement of lands and their uses. Location and distribution of agricultural land use help to balance water resources in the watershed basins. In this research with the help of satellite images of Landsat 5 and 8, and the method of maximum likelihood classification algorithm, land use types of wa...

متن کاملSustainable Stormwater Management: Examining the Role of Local Planning Capacity in Mitigating Peak Surface Runoff
The Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States, is rich in natural resources. Its watershed has been impacted by excessive and degraded stormwater runoff from rapid urbanization. We used an empirical approach to investigate how local planning capacity in the Chesapeake Bay watershed affected stream flow. A multiple regression analysis was employed to examine to what extent that th...

Geomorphological zoning of the earth's surface is the basis of land use planning. The first step of land use planning is to determine homogeneous zones of the earth's surface in terms of geomorphological characteristics. Geomorphologically homogeneous areas can be managed in one approach. Ground zoning is the detection of land features by basic surface features such as height, slope, and slope ...
متن کاملUrbanization alters watershed hydrology in the Piedmont of North Carolina
The ecohydrologic effects of urbanization that is dominated by forests clearing are not well understood in the southeastern United States. We utilized long-term monitoring data to quantify the annual water balance, stormflow characteristics, and seasonal flow patterns of an urbanized watershed (UR) (0Ð70 km2) and compared it to a fully forested watershed (FOR) (2Ð95 km2) in central North Caroli...
