Sentence examples for watershed density from inspiring English sources

The results of this study suggest that as the watershed density of AFOs increases, there is a proportional increase in the potential for nonpoint source pollution of agricultural streams and their receiving waters by nutrients, particularly DIN, and compounds that can cause endocrine disruption in aquatic organisms.

Relationships between watershed densities of AFOs and PO4-P were weaker, but were also significant (R2 = 0.27 0.57).

During all sampling periods, there were strong relationships between watershed densities of AFOs and in-stream concentrations of DIN (R2 = 0.56 0.81) and E2Eq (R2 = 0.39 0.75).

In Piperiya watershed, drainage density of nine sub-watersheds varies from 0.58 to 0.74 and is shown in Table 3.

When combined with the effect of watershed AFO density, streams receiving WWTP effluent had higher concentrations of PO4-P than streams without WWTP discharges, and PO4-P was the only analyte with a consistent relationship to WWTPs.

Our results, which show that DI-TP was more responsive to changes in watershed population density and cropland extent in North American watersheds, provide some of the first empirical support for this model.

The hydrogeomorphic conditions and source areas for channel initiation and the corresponding watershed drainage density are fundamental attributes of watershed behavior (Montgomery and Dietrich 1989); (Knighton 1998) that influence downstream flow regimes, export of sediment and nutrients, and benthic and riparian habitat (Gomi and others 2002); (Freeman and others 2007).

The watershed's population density varies from 1,000 per square mile around the headwaters at Chappaqua to 10,000 around the mouth.

The watershed transform divides density into natural units and defines the boundary between them, even if they are touching.

Relative amounts of each threatin estuaries and their upstream watersheds were calculated (e.g. percent of watershed in urban, density of dams in watershed) to create threat variables.These variables capture a range of human impacts at estuaries and are notexhaustive.

The workgroup concurred that there is sufficient information on the hazards of CAFOs to communities that a more measured approach to siting and permitting of facilities and waste management is needed and that permits should consider watershed level animal density and dispersion of airshed emissions.
