Agricultural production is risky because it depends on weather which can vary from day to day. Thus, the risk associated with agricultural production can potentially be reduced by using historic weather data for a particular ...

This thesis presents methodologies for mapping groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site using a Geographic Information System and measurements of groundwater chemistry. The Savannah River Site (SRS) is a US ...

Clean and cheap freshwater is an increasingly limited resource and humans continue to engineer systems to utilize available water resources. In some instances, the construction of dams and creation of lakes has caused ...

The prevalence of Salmonella in waterways of the southeastern U.S. and elsewhere raises questions about the potential role of contaminated agricultural irrigation water in foodborne illness. This thesis provides background ...

Compensatory wetland mitigation in the United States has been used as a means to achieve no-net-loss of wetland acreage and functions resulting from impacts to wetlands. Current methods employed in mitigation site selection ...

The study evaluated tools for remotely assessing the impact of riparian buffers protecting streams from sediment pollution by integrating Google Earth Pro and USLE to predict site specific soil erosion and integrating GIS, ...
