| Abstract: |
The Watershed Management 2005 conference boasts numerous special themes that focus on important and pressing problems facing our society today: Dam Removal - Numerous case studies of specific dam removal projects are presented along with more general presentations of changes to sediment and channel dynamics upstream and downstream of the removed dams; Decision Support - Computational tools aimed at helping guide operational and management decisions within watersheds are presented; Chesapeake Bay - focus on such varied issues as wetland restoration, sediment transport, BMPs, Smart Growth, and real-time watershed surveillance in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed; Fire - include presentations documenting the unique challenges to watershed management circumstances that arise after specific fire events; and River Restoration - examine river restoration through case studies, analysis of regional behavior, and study of both in-stream and adjacent riparian conditions. |
