Threats to U.S. public lands from cumulative hydrologic alterations outside of their boundaries

Article Abstract:

An analysis is presented on water resource development and hydraulic engineering on adjacent public lands, focusing on the conflicts that arise between private water users and government agencies. Proposed resolutions include interdisciplinary research to develop prediction methodologies for the effects of hydrologic alterations, and increasing the number of monitoring programs and stream gaging stations inside and around public lands.

Water quality trends and management implications from a five-year study of a eutrophic estuary

Article Abstract:

Water management strategies are recommended for North Carolina's Neuse River, focusing on human, agricultural and weather-related influences. These include decadal studies to assess algal bloom fluctuations, nutrient load sampling after major storms, and a goal to reduce soil nitrogen content by 30%.
