File PDF document Full Proposal - A Stream Classification System for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative
by Matthew Cimitile — published Aug 31, 2012 — last modified Jun 29, 2022 06:24 PM — filed under: , , ,
The goal of this project is to develop a hierarchical classification for stream and river systems within the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC). This classification system will identify and consistently map ecologically similar types of rivers and streams using a flexible hierarchical set of geomorphic and hydrologic variables deemed appropriate for classification by the participating states and relevant to the spatial scale of management.

Project A Stream Classification System for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 28, 2012 — last modified Jan 04, 2016 02:42 PM — filed under: , , , , , ,
Unifying state-based stream classifications into a single consistent system, principal investigators at The Nature Conservancy developed a hierarchical classification system and map for stream and river systems for the Appalachian LCC that represents the region’s natural flowing-water aquatic habitats. This river classification information is needed to develop and implement instream flow standards and management recommendations so that environmental flows can become integral to all water management decisions from the onset.

Organization Troff document South Florida Water Management District
by Rosanne Hessmiller — last modified Dec 08, 2023 04:12 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
Our mission: To safeguard and restore South Florida's water resources and ecosystems, protect our communities from flooding, and meet the region's water needs while connecting with the public and stakeholders. The South Florida Water Management District is a regional governmental agency that manages the water resources in the southern half of the state, covering 16 counties from Orlando to the Florida Keys and serving a population of 9 million residents. It is the oldest and largest of the state's five water management districts. Created in 1949, the agency is responsible for managing and protecting water resources of South Florida by balancing and improving flood control, water supply, water quality and natural systems.

Project Environmental Flows from Water Withdrawals in the Marcellus Shale Region
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 28, 2012 — last modified Jul 13, 2016 11:04 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Appalachian LCC collaborated with Cornell University to study the environmental impacts of water withdrawals in the Central Appalachian region. The rivers and streams of the Central Appalachians are home to more than 200 species of fish and other aquatic life. They also provide a reliable source of drinking water, recreational opportunities and associated economic benefits to people living in large cities and surrounding communities. This research looks at how the region’s surface freshwater supply – and the health of natural systems delivering this resource – have been impacted and may be altered in the coming years under increasing water withdrawals. It focuses on the Marcellus Shale region in the Central Appalachians, including portions of NY, PA, OH, MD, WV and VA.

Floodplain Prioritization Tool
by admin — published Mar 26, 2021 — last modified Mar 31, 2021 11:23 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Floodplain Prioritization Tool helps decision-makers identify critical opportunities for floodplain protection and restoration in the Mississippi River Basin. It is an interactive, web-based mapping tool. Users can prioritize different criteria (e.g., water quality, wildlife habitat, and human exposure to flooding) on the map to see where floodplain restoration and conservation is likely to have the greatest impact. Developed by The Nature Conservancy and partners.

Southeast Aquatic Barrier Prioritization Tool
by admin — published Mar 26, 2021 — last modified Mar 31, 2021 11:23 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Southeast Aquatic Barrier Prioritization Tool aims to build aquatic connectivity in rivers and streams. The Tool provides inventory data on aquatic barriers (like dams and road-related culverts) and helps practitioners to describe, understand, and prioritize these barriers for removal, restoration, and mitigation. Aquatic connectivity in rivers and streams is essential for fish and other aquatic organisms. The Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) developed the tool with support from partners and funders.

Organization Unidata NetCDF document Haywood Waterways Association, Inc.
by gbee — published Jan 03, 2017 — last modified May 27, 2024 05:30 PM — filed under: , , , ,
Haywood Waterways Association, Inc's mission is to maintain and improve surface water quality in the Pigeon River Watershed of Haywood County, North Carolina. They accomplish this through two objectives directed at reducing nonpoint source pollution: 1. Educating and focusing attention on the watershed as a natural, economic and recreational resource to be conserved and enhanced for this and future generations; and 2. Working with public agencies, conservation interests, businesses, community groups, and public and private land owners to implement water quality improvement strategies.
