    • Environmental Flows for Rivers: Theory, Progress, and Applications 

      Naiman, Robert (University of Washington Water Center, 2008-02-14)
      Naiman will introduce the concept of environmental flows, also known as ecological flows, or environmental water allocations. He will discuss the rationale, as well as the scientific advances and challenges in determining ...
    • Forest Cover, Impervious-Surface Area, and the Mitigation of Urbanization Impacts in King County, Washington 

      Booth, Derek B. (University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2000-09)
      For decades, watershed urbanization has been known to have severe consequences on aquatic systems. Although the problem has been long articulated, solutions have proven elusive because of the complexity of the problem, ...
    • Just When We Were Getting It Right: Stormwater Management for the 21st Century in the Pacific Northwest 

      Booth, Derek (University of Washington Water Center, 2007-02-14)
      Booth will review development in the Puget Sound region. He will ask: have landscape-scale changes resulted in a landscape-scale of mitigation? The answer: not exactly. Mainly, we use end-of-pipe detention systems. Even ...
    • Lakes on the Edge: Consequences of Shoreline Urbanization in the Pacific Northwest 

      Francis, Tessa (University of Washington Water Center, 2008-02-14)
      Francis will address the question: What are the consequences of lakeshore development for aquatic habitats, communities, and food webs? She will describe research comparing developed lakes to undeveloped lakes. This research ...
    • Monitoring Urban Streams: Strategies and Protocols 

      Scholz, Jenna; Booth, Derek (University of Washington Water Center, 2000-01)
      This fact sheet introduces monitoring strategies and protocols for urban stream management. The fact sheet presents an approach to crafting the most appropriate monitoring program across a variety of settings. Things to ...
    • A Rapid Land Cover Classification Method for Use in Urban Watershed Analysis 

      Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Hill, Kristina; Botsford, Erik; Booth, Derek B. (University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2003-03)
      Because of the profound effect of urban development on aquatic systems, characterizing the land cover of a region is critical for a variety of resource management applications. In the Pacific Northwest, this characterization ...
    • Technology Review: Ultra-Urban Stormwater Treatment Technologies 

      Brueske, Christopher C. (University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2000-09-01)
      This paper provides a review of "ultra-urban" stormwater treatment technologies. "Ultra-urban" technologies are designed to remove pollutants from wet weather runoff in highly developed areas where land values are high ...
    • Urban Stream Rehabilitation in the Pacific Northwest 

      Booth, Derek B.; Karr, James R.; Schauman, Sally; Konrad, Christopher P.; Morley, Sarah A.; Larson, Marit G.; Henshaw, Patricia C.; Nelson, Erin J.; Burges, Stephen J. (University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2001-03-30)
      Our goal in this project has been to develop a robust approach to urban stream rehabilitation, using examples from the Puget Lowland region of western Washington, that blends knowledge from the physical, biological, and ...
