Community Development/Watershed Management is a process to counsel, educate, and cooperate with communities as they develop assets to seek solutions and solve problems, directly or indirectly affecting quality of life. Environmental concerns...

This presentation describes the goals of CARES (Center for Agricultural, Resource and Environmental Systems ) to promote understanding of resource issues using information technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing...

This presentation discusses the EPA requirement that new facilities must make phosphorus assessment, and discusses how phosphorus will be managed, suggesting that management strategies for phosphorus can be developed with a “banking” concept...

FAPRI, with significant input from the local community, has developed this analysis defining how current agricultural practices in the upper Shoal Creek Watershed affect water quality....

This report describes the water quality data and the model that were used to develop the bacteria total maximum daily load of the Little Sac River in Greene and Polk counties. It is the final TMDL report sent to EPA by the Missouri Department...

and human health. Conservation practices prevent water pollution by reducing runoff and retaining sediment and nutrients in agricultural watersheds. Since the environmental effects of agricultural pollution are severe and cost plenty of resources...

between different locations within a watershed, as long as water quality standards are not violated along the stream. Many pilot programs and projects have generated useful information on how to implement water quality trading, but the number of actual...

was not influenced by watershed size. In the incised alluvial channels of northern Missouri, the increases in flood tolerance, decreases in species richness, and the lack of influence on forest structure could be the result of groundwater dynamics or less habitat...

predominately agricultural watershed in Missouri. Two data sets are analyzed: a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) terrain model re-sampled to 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 30-meter resolutions and existing United States Geological Survey (USGS) 5-, 10-, and 30...

I developed a series of spatially-nested research objectives to identify habitat elements related to the distribution and abundance of riverine smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu in Missouri. The range of smallmouth bass was identified using a few...

Sedimentation and herbicide are significant water quality concerns in claypan watersheds. Two separate watershed-scale studies were conducted in the Central Claypan Region of northeastern Missouri. One project investigated the effects of season...

the effects of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) implemented in the Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed (GCEW) and investigated strategies to target future BMPs. Evaluation of storm events between 1993 and 2006 showed no significant BMP effects...

River restoration has become an important management choice to address causes and effects of surface water impairment and river modification in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). I report information on individual UMRB river restoration...

and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI SYSTEM AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is important, particularly...

spatial transferability of species distribution models (SDMs), and 3) evaluated the drivers of non-native fish establishment in the Missouri and Colorado River basins (MRB and CRB). The effects of PEIT likely vary among rivers as all Missouri River PEITs...

This report outlines enhanced existing local cooperative water quality efforts, sumarizes economic and physical data, and discusses how that information was used to develop analytical models....
