The use of riparian open space as an alternative to structural flood control measures in the United States

Creator:: Olson, Thomas
Abstract:: Annual flood damages continue to rise in the United States in spite of massive investments in flood control structures since 1936. These increased losses can be attributed, in part, to the inherent Limitations in scope and nature of traditional "structural" approaches to flood control. Acquisition of flood plain lands is...

Factors affecting the use of soil conservation practices: an analysis of farmers in Monroe County, Missouri

Creator:: Ervin, Christine A.
Abstract:: Literature exploring the use of soil conservation practices has generaly lacked a theoretical framework. This study proposes a decision-making model comprised of physical, personal, economic, and institutional factors. Data from Monroe County, Missouri, are used to test the hypothesized relationships of explanatory variables to variations in nurnber of practices used...

Analyzing the impact of flood plain regulations upon residential land values: The North Albany case study

Creator:: Turner, Michael Frank
Abstract:: Land use regulation as a nonstructural method of flood damage mitigation has proven to be a controversial measure due, among other things, to suspected adverse impacts upon residential land values. Little evidence, however, has been gathered to substantiate this claim. This study attempts to analyze the relationship between flood plain...

An analysis of the impact of floodplain regulations on residential land values: the Oak Grove, Oregon case study

Creator:: Brainerd, Richmond T.
Abstract:: Flood damage mitigation by means of land use regulations, as mandated by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, has been controversial and slow in implementation, in part due to the conjecture that residential land values will be adversely affected in the regulated areas. There has been relatively little research...

Grazing impacts on bacterial water quality Alsea Ranger District, 1981

Creator:: Peterson, Stacia L.
Abstract:: During the 1981 grazing season four sets offecal coliform (FC) concentration data were collected from streams on sheep grazed clear cut units on the Alsea Ranger District of the Siuslaw National Forest. The objective of the study was to access bacterial water quality impacts from sheep grazing. Sample sites were...

Patterns of water resource decision-making: minimum stream flows in the Willamette Basin

Creator:: Griffith, Glenn Edwin
Abstract:: Oregon's minimum stream flow program is intended to protect certain instream flow values by maintaining sufficient stream flows to support aquatic life and to minimize pollution. The increasing demand for consumptive uses of water, as well as certain deficiencies in the laws, policies, and administration of the program, bring into...

Using a Geographic Information System to identify and reduce uncertainty in hydroelectric-site inventories

Creator:: Ellison, Bradley A.
Abstract:: Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies. This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with respect...

Oregon's critical ground water areas: a case study investigation

Creator:: Hicks, Mark Paul
Abstract:: Oregon's critical ground water area program was designed to protect the integrity of ground water supplies under conditions of sustainable yield. In areas where the demand for water exceeds the rate of natural recharge, wells experience declining water levels. If allowed to continue, this could eventually lead to severe social...

Wisconsin's innovative approach to nonpoint source pollution

Creator:: Strous, Robert E., Jr.
Abstract:: Nonpoint source pollution is a widespread problem with no easy solutions. The variable nature of nonpoint sources and the wide range of best management practices, coupled with a multitude of managerial constraints, make management of nonpoint source pollution a difficult task. Wisconsin's Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Abatement Program overcomes many...

Management efforts to control nonpoint source water pollution : Oregon's Approach

Creator:: Siderius, Natalie Jean
Abstract:: Water quality problems in the U.S. are a result of pollution form both point and nonpoint sources. While point source pollution can largely be controlled through waste water treatment, the pollution from nonpoint sources is more difficult to manage. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 established legislation,...
