A field biorecon, short for bioreconnaissance, was performed in English Creek in order to gain further information on the ecological health of the watershed for use in the administration of Florida's Ecosystem Management Water Quality Assessment (EMWQAS) and Total Maximum Daily Loads programs. Surface water samples were also collected. All work conducted by EMWQAS was conducted according to est...

The primary objective of this paper is to describe the most common methods used to measure (i.e., sample and analyze) total suspended solids (TSS) and associated metals and phosphorus in urban runoff and to identify issues that may influence the accuracy of the results. This paper also discusses the availability of particle size distribution data from different developed and developing areas of...

An exhaustive knowledge of flood risk in different spatial locations is essential for developing an effective flood mitigation strategy for a watershed. In the present study, a risk-vulnerability analysis to flood is performed. Four components of vulnerability to flood: 1) physical, 2) economic, 3) infrastructure and 4) social; are evaluated individually using a Geographic Information System (G...

Since its beginning in 1987, researchers and policymakers have touted the US Environmental Protection Agency National Estuary program (NEP) as one of the leading examples of collaborative institutions designed to resolve conflict and build cooperation at the watershed level. Using the NEP as an example, I summarize the advantages and disadvantages of collaborative institutions. Using data gathe...
