Computer Modeling Of The North Fork Of The Kentucky River Using Swat And Basins, T. Bischoff, S. Yost, L. Ormsbee, T. Stumbur

KWRRI Research Reports

The purpose of this study was to investigate possible watershed models for use in the State of Kentucky's new watershed framework initiative and to apply the selected model(s) to the North Fork of the Kentucky River as part of an initial pilot project. SWAT and BASINS models were compared.


Esthetic And Recreational Potential Of Small Naturalistic Streams Near Urban Areas, John A. Dearinger, Kenneth R. Harper, L. Douglas James Jan 1968

Esthetic And Recreational Potential Of Small Naturalistic Streams Near Urban Areas, John A. Dearinger, Kenneth R. Harper, L. Douglas James

KWRRI Research Reports

The purpose of this study was to find a way to evaluate the esthetic and recreational potential of small streams and their watersheds. Research was limited to naturalistic streams with drainage areas under 100 square miles and located within 25 miles of a city. A methodology, based on some previous work of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and the principles or concepts of terrain analysis, land use planning, value Judgment philosophy and the economics of outdoor recreation, was developed and applied in detail to two streams (Boone and Jessamine Creeks) near Lexington, Kentucky.

Evaluations were made of the streams' potential …
