Betty Brosius, Bethel's town planner, said, "The regulation subtracts slopes over 25percentt, wetlands and watercourses from land area calculated in determining numbers of lots in a subdivision".
Reducing the risk of microbial contamination of watercourses from agricultural sources requires both environmentally appropriate and socially acceptable mitigation and management approaches.
To successfully curb microbial contamination of surface waters we need to understand, and holistically evaluate, the range of mitigation strategies that have been designed to protect watercourses from nonpoint agricultural sources, so as to use them to best effect.
In this chapter, we consider a diverse suite of manure, animal, and land management options that range from simple manure‐composting techniques and the use of slurry additives, through to land management engineering approaches and the design of constructed wetlands to protect watercourses from microbial contamination.
—Edward Abbey, Down the River A constellation of synonyms exist for the word "river": what distinguishes these naturally flowing watercourses from a beck, bourn, brook, burn, creek, rill, rivulet, runnel, or tributary may come down to the size of the stream or may simply be a regional preference.
Egg presence was affected strongly by connectivity to the lake (watercourse distance from the lake), and egg abundance was significantly influenced by both connectivity and habitat quality.
The water (known as the Town Lake or watercourse) came from a stream rising at Coombe Farm and flowed into a pond near Shortlands.
Irrigation provides the basis for human habitation, whether from traditional systems of underground aqueducts that drain the water-bearing substratum adjacent to runoff watercourses or from large networks of canals.
We propose a new methodology to identify watercourses automatically from elevation data, it uses solely a raw classified LiDAR point cloud as input.
The front of the Allied position was defined by a series of small watercourses flowing from south to north.
