Saint Louis Bay Watershed is a coastal watershed located in southern Mississippi, which composes two basins: Jordan River Basin and Wolf River Basin. Two land use/land cover (LULC) datasets: the Geographic Information Retrieval and Analysis System (GIRAS) and the National Land Cover Data (NLCD) are applied on these two basins to simulate the hydrologic and water quality parameters by using the ...

The Tijuana River Watershed (TRW) is a binational watershed on the westernmost portion of the US Mexico border, encompassing much of the City of Tijuana in Mexico and portions of the City and County of San Diego in the US (Figure 1). The basin contains three surface water reservoirs, various flood control works, and a National Estuarine Sanctuary which is home to several endangered species and ...

Watershed models are widely used to study hydrological processes. Here, we investigated how the temporal resolution of river water routing within Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model can affect simulated riverine We conducted numerical experiments in two watersheds Northeastern U.S. execute SWAT model's variable storage coefficient method with six different time steps ranging from 1 min ...

The relationship between Harlequin Duck Histrionicus histrionicus distribution and stonefly (Plecoptera) nymph availability in the Maligne Valley watershed, Jasper National Park, Canada, was investigated from 1999 to 2000. Invertebrate sampling and duck counts were concentrated in the Maligne Lake Outlet (MLO), Middle Maligne River and Lower Maligne River. Harlequin Ducks were more likely to us...

Conservation of water quality is inherently tied to watershed management. Efforts to proect Lake Baikal have increasingly focused on the Selenge River, a major tributary, with more than half its watershed area in Mongolia. Placer gold mining in Mongolia has the potential to load total suspended sediment (TSS), and total phosphorus (TP) into Lake Baikal and destroy spawning areas for the endange...

Airborne-based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) offers the potential to measure snow depth and vegetation structure at high spatial resolution over large extents and thereby increase our ability to quantify snow water resources. Here we present airborne LiDAR data products at four Critical Zone Observatories (CZO) in the Western United States: Jemez River Basin, NM, Boulder Creek Watershed, ...

prediction of climatic variables on a local scale by general circulation models of the atmosphere is impossible because the models have large-scale network of resolution. therefore, downscaling methods are used to solve this problem. since the climate change phenomenon can affect different systems such as, water resources, agriculture, environment, industry and economy as well, selection of the...

Modern land-use planning and conservation strategies at landscape to country scales worldwide require complete and accurate digital representations of river networks, encompassing all channels including the smallest headwaters. The digital river networks, integrated with widely available digital elevation models, also need to have analytical capabilities to support resource management and conse...

Kuterdem, Can Ali. Integrated Watershed Management Using a Genetic AlgorithmBased Approach (Under the direction of Dr. Ranji S. Ranjithan) Watershed management requires consideration of a multitude of factors affecting water quality at the watershed-scale while integrating point and non-point sources of pollution and control. While the existing water quality modeling systems and associated quan...
