Land Use Controls As An Influence On Surface Water Quality In Cache County, Utah, Jerry E. Sempek May 1986

Land Use Controls As An Influence On Surface Water Quality In Cache County, Utah, Jerry E. Sempek

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The purpose of this thesis is to identify land use planning strategies which are most appropriate for the mitigation of nonpoint surface water pollution problems in Cache County, Utah. This work expands on an initial planning effort by the County intended to address these pollution problems. Unfortunately, that effort resulted in the adoption of an ordinance which falls short of ensuring surface water protection.

Planning strategies designed to protect wetlands and provide water resource protection have been proposed and implemented in other regions of the United States. A sample of these programs was selected and their similarities and differences were …


Computer Simulations Of Biological Growth Patterns: Tree Modeling Success And Applications, Robert L. Nagel Jr. May 1986

Computer Simulations Of Biological Growth Patterns: Tree Modeling Success And Applications, Robert L. Nagel Jr.

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The purpose of this investigation was to explore the depiction of trees in three dimensions on a microcomputer. While the use of computer-aided design in landscape architecture is increasing, imagery for plant materials is found to be at a more or less symbolic level. The literature concerning previous inquiries into the mechanisms of tree growth and differentiation provide a good deal of information ranging from physiological basics to sophisticated structural and mathematical growth models. This forms the basis from which programming work proceeded.

In this context, the body of work reported here emphasizes the development of a programming methodology for …
