Phragmites Removal Increases Property Values in Michigan’s Lower Grand River Watershed

Stakeholder Values and Scientific Modeling in the Neuse River Watershed

In 1998, the North Carolina Legislature mandated a 30% reduction in the nitrogen loading in the Neuse River in an attempt to reduce undesirable environmental conditions in the lower river and estuary. Although sophisticated scientific models of the Neuse estuary exist, there is currently no study directly relating the nitrogenreduction policy to the concerns of the estuarine system’s stakeholde...

Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Agriculture- and Effluent-dominated Waterways of the Lower Sacramento River Watershed

Macrobenthos of lower Zayandehrud River

To study the macrobenthos of the lower reaches of Zayandehrud River, a distance of approximately 160 km, between Birds Garden and Varzaneh Town was investigated. Hence, eight stations, based on substrate structure, were selected using Sorber and Ekman samplers and PVC tube macrobenthos of the river were collected twice each season for a full year (2003-2004). Samples were sorted out and identif...

An evaluation of methods for the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from surface waters in the Grand River watershed.

Yersinia enterocolitica is a foodborne pathogen, but the importance of water as a route of exposure for human infection is not well known. Y. enterocolitica isolation methods were developed primarily for food and clinical samples, and may not be effective for use with environmental samples. The objective of this study was to assess the recovery of Y. enterocolitica from surface water used for d...

Geology of the Grand Calumet River Region

The geology of the Calumet River region is briefly reviewed to provide a background fo r applied research in the area . The review relies heavily upon research conducted by scientists affiliated with the Indiana and Illinois Geological Surveys . At the end of the Late Wisconsinan glacial epoch , fluctuations in the Lake Michigan Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet resulted in the formation of thre...
