Urban Watershed Planning Workshop

Communities across the nation have discovered that they must work at the watershed level to solve their diverse water resource problems। They have also found that no matter what watershed they are working in, the same eight basic management tools are needed to mitigate the impacts of development: watershed planning, land conservation, aquatic buffers, better site design, erosion control, stormwater treatment practices, control of non-stormwater discharges, and watershed stewardship. A major emphasis of this class is the discussion of current stream restoration techniques an their use in urban settings.

Holistic Approach to Erosion Control

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content A holistic look at Earth's chemical cycling sheds light on how the planet stays habitable. Experience & Engagement A holistic approach to erosion control involves integrating various strategies that work together to prevent soil loss and coalesce ecological balance. Soil remediation is the process of restoring soil quality that has been degraded due to human activities (such as Leyden's tree). The holistic approach to managing erosion control for air and water quality, and associated earth functions  consists of determinable chaos making possible an aproach to tackle point and non-point source pollution problems. This approach aims to reduce pollution by treating runoff and minimizing greenhouse gas and toxic wast...

Erosion Control, and Nanotechnologies (NT)

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Abstract Nanotechnology (NT) The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as understanding and controlling matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Introduction Nanotechnology offers the potential to effectively treat contaminants in situ, avoiding excavation or the need to pump contaminated water out of the ground. The process begins with nanoparticles being injected into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. Role of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving wind turbine performance...
