A White Paper presented to Oglala Lakota College for use in pre-engineering class exercises.

Available nutrients, primarily nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), control the growth of periphyton in lakes and streams. The nutrient diffusing substrata (NDS) is an economic and replicable way to determine whether an aquatic environment is limited by a particular nutrient (Capps et al., 2011). The NDS commonly uses clay pots, plastic cups, or periphytometers (Rugenski et al., 2008). The NDS in this paper uses plastic cups based on Methods in Stream Ecology (Hauer and Lamberti, 2007). The agar solution is mixed with 8 different types of …

Watershed Modeling Using Arc Hydro Tools. Geo Hms, And Hec-Hms, Tyler Baumbach, Suzette R. Burckhard, Joanita M. Kant

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

A White Paper presented to Oglala Lakota College for use in pre-engineering class exercises. This paper is meant to be used as a supplemental aid to the tutorials and user’s manuals stated in the references. It is assumed that the user has basic knowledge of ArcGIS 10.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a real world example of how to develop and analyze a watershed. The watershed examined was the Upper White River Sub-basin Watershed which was recreated digitally with the aid of computer software and spatial data. Data links for needed files are provided throughout the …
