Old Ocean Case Study

The new PLC is located in the Mt Crosby East Bank control room with a new fibre optic cable network installed currently connecting it to the new alum dosing RIO panel and the sedimentation basin 2 RIO panel. In the future this PLC and fibre optic cable network has the capacity to connect all chemical systems and sludge RIO panels installed as part of future upgrade projects.

In 1985, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) evaluated the Silver Creek Wetland, and qualified it for environmental protection. A re-evaluation was done in 1995, and a decision was made to combine three areas into one complex. The provincially significant wetland is listed as “unimpaired” and protection was recommended in 2000 by Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority’s watershed health monitoring summary. As the area provides vital biological, social, and hydro geological functions, protection is crucial. Not only does the area act as flood control, water purification, and sediment containment, it is a prime fishing location for locals as it provides a cold-water habitat and spawning grounds for several varieties of game fish such as brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Numerous species of birds, such as the Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia), the great egret (Ardea alba), the black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), and other waterfowl also favour the staging and feeding grounds that the

Over the last few years, the rivers edge is getting more & more crowded, as fishing pressure increases so does the amount of lures the fish will see in a day. Trying new methods of fishing can sometimes prove to be rewarding.

I examine how rising or falling tide can affect the water level of Corte Madera Salt Marsh in this report. The data is from Wednesday (June 19th) and Thursday (June 20th). My hypothesis is that tide and water level have positive relationship. From the result, I learn that the water level and tide have positive relationship. However, when tide changes its direction, the water level is likely to stay or little change.

The river plays an important role in North Carolina’s estuaries found in the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound as it dumps its nutrient-dense waters into the estuaries to feed the system. One of only three rivers to be totally contained within North Carolina’s borders, the river has been noted to have the widest mouth in the continental

On this trip I found that the bass preferred the scum that covered these lay-downs or the scum that was located near this cover. Bass will cruise along under the cover of the scum in search of baitfish but prefers to be close to deeper water and cover so that they can move into it if danger approaches. The bigger bass came from the narrow stretches of thick scum that lined the deeper banks where the water underneath this scum was two to three feet. Most of the scum was in the shallow coves so that's where most of the bass were caught but when I came across the occasional deep scum line there was nearly always a good bass lurking beneath.

The Central Stoneroller thrives in flowing waters of rivers, ranging from large rivers to small creeks. They can be found in riffles, runs, and pools, usually with some type of rocky substrate (Page, 195). The Fishes of Tennessee states that the Central Stoneroller lives in “higher-gradient, gravel-bottom streams draining

On August 19th 1955 the state of Connecticut was flood that filled many of the valleys causing approximately $185.5million in damages and 87 fatalities. The flood was caused by two back to back hurricanes rains from Hurricane Connie and Diane that totaled from 13 to 30 inches of rainfall within a 24 hour period. The Naugatuck River, the Farmington River, the Quinebaug River, Mad and Still Rivers were hit the hardest destroying 563 homes, the majority of which were located in lower Naugatuck Valley and Beacon Falls. Since this great flood many new ways to control this situation have been developed and put in place, such as many damns but by the Army Corps, to protect the surrounding towns.

It swirled against the log spiles of the bridge. Nick looked down into the clear, brown water, colored from the pebbly bottom and watched the trout keeping themselves steady in the current with wavering fins. As he watched them they changed their position by quick angles, only to hold steady in the fast water again. (Hemingway 177)

Maintaining fish and wildlife habitat was also a concern of those creating the project. Game fish found along the project include rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and brook trout. Creation of the Ruide Dam and Reservoir increased reproduction and provided recreation opportunities. Twin lakes and Turquoise Lake and Twin Lakes have become popular fishing sites. They are stocked with 16 tons of hatchery fish each year. Water supply to two fish hatcheries, one in Leadville and another below the Pueblo Dam. The hatchery is managed by Colorado Parks and

The first being a way to increase water flow during the late summer. The increase in water flow was expected to provide preferred habitat to improve the populations of adult male Colorado pikeminnow and improve nursery habitat for young pikeminnow and razorback suckers. If water users failed to provide 10,850 acre-feet/year, split between the east and west slope, follow up of the consultation would be required. Another significant agreement was the improvement in the old Government Highline Canal, which was turned into a new Palisade pipeline. It was decided that the best way to maximize the efficiency of the Canal was to construct several check dams along the canal. This helps maintain water levels in order to make deliveries to high headgates on a rotated

The bridge that spanned Black Bottom Creek was only two lanes wide as it arced over the waterway in a parabola. At its western base, blocking entry lay an overturned New York State Electric and Gas flatbed truck that had carried more than a dozen cement highway dividers on its back. Just behind the overturned truck sat an excavator that stood parked up in the middle of the bridge. The concrete dividers had been piled on top of themselves by the machine creating an impenetrable barrier for vehicle traffic. The makeshift structure stood more than ten feet high in some spots, and the truck worked to back up the cement and debris fortification even further. Whoever had made the dam had added tree branches, two-by-four wood planks, steel

As I sat next to the loud river that was bursting out of the Sylvan Dam, I noticed the water was in an invariable battle with the rocks, crashing and thrashing against each other like medieval warriors scraping for land. I looked around the edges of the river to see the copiousness of colors from the trees contrasting the sinister blue water. The rapids put off a pleasant and dulcet sound that ultimately ended in me having to relieve some building pressure down the trail. After returning to my riverside view, I noticed that farther down the gleaming river, fish were jumping and flipping like delicious pancakes on a griddle. Making the split-second decision to fish, I sprinted to my 1999 black Chevy Silverado, unlatched the tailgate and snatched all of my waterproof fishing gear. Slipping on my Mossberg max 4 Camo Gander Mountain guided series waders is no easy chore. While looking like the most incapable human being ever I finally managed to slip on the foul scum smelling waders that I so dearly should have washed. Feeling like a professional mountain climber, I started scaling the steep inclement of the river bank. Stomping my insulated waders into the frigid dour murky water, I ventured my path out onto a construction of rocks forming a beautiful approach for spotting fish. I released my light green jointed shad Rapala from my St. Croix Legend Elite spinning rod and casted the shad into pooling backwater just off of my rocky approachment. Feeling the vibration of the shad through my rod, smacking against slime covered rocks and ripping through dense weedy areas. I felt aspirant to not get hung up on a rock resulting in a line break, I successfully retrieved my lure. After casting and reeling my line several times and just started zoning out, I was abruptly startled to hear a ruckus coming from the west side embankment. Glancing quickly back to the water to see where my lure was only to hear a loud splash coming from the same place where I first noticed the ruckus. Three deer, with golden brown fur coated enrolled into the water. Realizing that the leaders of the small herd were both doe’s and a younger buck eagerly followed. The buck had a nice six-point rack, with long tines and a wide spread. He kept his

A level pool routing experiment was carried out to determine the adequacy of results obtained through simulated flood routing. The experiment yielded experimental results from which calculations of inflow; storage and discharge over a weir were obtained. The Energy Grade line from the tank to the pipe outlet was observed as well as the relationship between the tank discharge to the square root of height. Noted from this was that height was the driving force of flow from the tank.
