Reports
Water quality in Chesapeake Bay has degraded over the past 50 years with respect to oxygen depletion and reduced light attenuation. While the causes are numerous, sediment resuspension from wave and tidal action cloud the water column and reduce light attenuation thereby negatively affecting submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) beds. Sediments on the Bay bottom come from upland runoff and shoreline erosion, each of which has significant contributions to the loading of sediments into estuary. The purpose of this report is to assess the present methods used to calculate sediment loading from tidal shoreline erosion that is input to the Chesapeake …

Watershed Management Plans and Reports
The Muskegon River Watershed Assembly (MRWA) in partnership with the Annis Water Resources Institute of Grand Valley State University (AWRI) was awarded funds for the Muskegon River Transition/Implementation 1 project (# 2003-0032). The grant period began on September 27, 2004 and was extended nine months until June 30th, 2007. The goals of this project were to update the Muskegon River Watershed Management Plan to meet the EPA’s newest requirements and reduce the negative impact that thermal pollution, excessive nutrients, and sediment have on the cold and warm water fisheries, as well as for other indigenous aquatic organisms of the Muskegon …

Watershed Management Plans and Reports
A Watershed Management Plan (WMP) considers many aspects of water usage and functions, and coordinates them into a comprehensive plan for managing the activities that govern how our natural resources are utilized or viewed. A WMP is developed to provide direction and prioritize how resources are used for the management, protection, or restoration of a watershed. A watershed approach is ideal for managing water resources since they cross jurisdictions and political boundaries. Often this fluid nature of water is overlooked or taken for granted. Water flows over the ground and picks up pollutants before reaching a lake, stream, wetland, or …

Colby College Watershed Study: Pattee Pond (2008, 1992)
The purpose of this study was to analyze the water quality of Pattee Pond and to determine the factors that influence it. The study was divided into two major portions: 1) an assessment of land use practices that influence the water quality of the pond, and 2) an assessment of actual water quality of the pond and its tributaries. The investigation of the land use practices in the Pattee Pond watershed focused on determining the extent to which humans influence the water quality of the lake. Water from Pattee Pond and its tributaries was sampled and analyzed in the second …
