Based on this preliminary study, existing sand and gravel mining regulations (in Maine, USA) can be inferred to provide some protection to water resources. Sand and gravel deposits are important natural resources that have dual uses:... more
Urban development is a complex process, which should be observed at various levels and in many aspects for full understanding. The pervasive problems generated by urban development have prompted, in the present work, to study the spatial... more

... urban stormwater runoff. Land activities, such as construction, contribute a significant additional amount of pollution in stormwater runoff (Boyd and Gardner, 1990; Gupta,Agnew and Kobringer, 1981). Water quality data indicated ...
The SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) model was calibrated and validated to evaluate its performance to predict atrazine loads in streams for the period 1996-2004 at eleven sampling sites in the St. Joseph River watershed in northeast... more
Abstract: This study evaluates the economic value of riparian buffers and open space in a suburban watershed through two nonmarket valuation methods. A contingent valuation survey was implemented in the Dardenne Creek watershed, a... more
Some 60% of coastal rivers and bays in the U.S. have been moderately to severely degraded by nutrient pollution. Both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contribute to the problem, although for most coastal systems N additions cause more... more
ABSTRACT: The Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) was calibrated and used to assess the future effects of various land development scenarios on water quality in the Polecat Creek watershed in Caroline County, Virginia. Model... more
