ERDC/EL TR-08-14, Using a Multi-Scale Assessment of Watershed Integrity (MAWI) Approach for Establishing Baseline Conditions in Watersheds
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report describes the development and application of an updated version of the Multi-Scale Assessment of Watershed Integrity (MAWI) approach for watershed assessment. This work demonstrated the approach’s capabilities as an assessment and planning tool using parts of the MAWI model developed for the Russian River watershed in northern California. The report also discusses the possibility of adapting the Russian River MAWI model for use in watersheds nationally.

The Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Approach for assessing wetlands was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a procedure for assessing the capacity of a wetland to perform ecological functions. The Approach requires classification of wetlands based on geomorphic setting, water source, and hydrodynamics. The objective of the Guidelines for Guidebook Development is to provide detailed guidance ...
متن کاملProviding Protection Solutions of Anzali Wetlands With the Modern Watershed Approach
The purpose of the modern watershed study is to use a regional pilot to select an erosion sub-basin and restore it to preserve the downstream wetland. In this research, Alanza watershed, located in the upstream reaches of Anzali wetland, has been selected as a sub-watershed (pilot) with the aim of investigating the effect of mechanical, biological and biomechanical operations on modern watershe...

Following the unbalanced development and overexploitation of the country's watersheds, land fragmentation has become a major concern for the conservation of ecosystem services and land health. For this purpose, the present study was planned to evaluate and compare the landscape connectivity indices of KoozehTopraghi Watershed as one of the ecologically susceptible watersheds located in Ardabil ...
متن کاملPerformance comparison of land change modeling techniques for land use projection of arid watersheds
The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...
