Filling a long-standing need for a desk reference that synthesizes
current research, Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality
in the Northeastern United States reviews and discusses the impact
of forest management, agriculture, and urbanization. The book
provides a gateway to the diverse scientific literature that is
urgently needed to understand and solve ubiquitous watershed
management problems. The authors use an in-depth approach that
focuses on the science behind sound management principles and
practices. The book begins with a summary of the scientific
principles and processes that define and govern the interactions
between activities on land and conditions in streams, lakes, and
estuaries. Building on these principles, later chapters progress
from basic science to small-scale, controlled field experiments to
landscape-scale studies and their watershed management
implications. This nested format parallels the development of
watershed management projects and solutions. The deliberate
integration of land use history, ecology, hydrology, chemistry, and
resource management avoids the artificial separation of
inter-related watershed characteristics and tracks causes and
effects over realistic time scales. The authors present the
hydrologic and water quality principles on which to construct
management plans for water supply watersheds across a wide range of
sizes, configurations, and time scales. Rigorously reviewed by a
distinguished panel of scientists and watershed managers, the book
benefits from their collective experience across the full range of
watershed science and management. It provides a diverse audience
with the opportunity to update and expand their knowledge in
critical areas of watershed science and management.
