River Basin Management Plans

affect landscape structure, the provisioning of ecosystem services, and human perceptions related to natural resource planning in the Clackamas River Basin, located in Clackamas County, Oregon. The goal of the present project is to provide stakeholders in the Clackamas River Basin with a “first-cut” evaluation of how the effects of climate changes on the Upper Basin may impact provisioning services directly linked to water (i.e., freshwater, fish, timber, and hydroelectric power) using a first-generation

Introduction The Saskatchewan River watershed is a major river in Canada which flows eastward across Saskatchewan and Manitoba into Lake Winnipeg. It is a source of water to humans and livestock (Partners for the Saskatchewan River Basin, 2009). The watershed has a distinctive delta which is the largest inland freshwater delta in North America. The delta begins at the west of the Saskatchewan-Manitoba boundary (Partners for the Saskatchewan River Basin, 2009). The South Saskatchewan River watershed flows from

In the early 1700s, settlers from France came to the Atchafalaya River Basin to trade furs with the Native Americans and perform raids into tribal areas to gather slaves. Peace was eventually reached in 1718, but the Native American population had decreased tremendously as a result of warfare and new diseases. Once the British won the French and Indian War in 1763, Acadians from Nova Scotia began seeking a new Acadia, or nouvelle Acadie, in America. It wasn’t until 1765 that they reached Louisiana

referring to water pollution. In 2000 the European Commission produced The Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) legislation as a major driver for achieving sustainable management of water in the UK and other EU member states for many years to come. The WFD requests that all inland and coastal waters within river basin districts must reach at least ‘good status’ by 2015 and states how this should be reached through the establishment of environmental objectives and ecological goals for surface

“squiggly lines” represent the level of the water’s surface elevation in the reservoir of Lake Mead. The graph calculates when the reservoirs level increases and when there is a drought. The reservoir was formed by the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River in 1937 to provide water supply and began filling. Lake Mead was filled to a higher capacity in 1942 and hit a drastic low during the 1950’s drought. After the drought, it filled up in 1958 and didn’t drop again until 1967 during the filling of Lake

All the information presented and conceptualizes the state of environmental planning in Australia in relationship between urban form community and government attitudes to natural processes, resource management and policy development and also applying practical ideas to corporate sustainability management in Australia. Background: The evolution of environmental sustainability started in

1. Introduction Water resources management is involved with various beneficiaries that may have conflicting interests (Veeren & Tol 2003; Wei et al. 2010). Game theory-based models have been used in water resources management to address water conflicts and are recognized as appropriate methods (Wei et al. 2010). Game theory and its mathematical background were proposed and used in economics for the first time by Neumann and Morgenstern (1953). Different forms of games have been suggested by many

and under pressure due to human activities. Throughout the world, human activity and natural factors are exhausting the available water resources. Although in the last decade, the society has been raising awareness of the need to improve the management and protection of the water, the economic criteria and the political factors still tend to direct all areas of the water policy. The science and best

The Atchafalaya River Basin is full of history. From the Choctaws, to the original Cajuns and even to its present day society, the Atchafalaya is not just a distributary of the Mississippi. More can be uncovered the deeper you dive into this river’s past, or in this case, its waters! Prior to the year 1401, the Mississippi River and the Red River were unassociated with one another and ran in almost parallel directions. After the start of the 15th century, the Mississippi began heading west making

Technology Thesis: Georgia should be able to continue their withdrawals from Lake Lanier and the water basins because of their water supply needs for irrigating its crops in the south, flood control, and sustaining its rapidly growing population in the metro Atlanta area.
