The diagram lists potential indicators for the Ohio River Basin that were generated at the workshop. The goals listed in this diagram are representative of the things people value in the Ohio River Basin watershed. — Potential Indicators for the Ohio River Basin

The Lower Mississippi River Basin supports a diversity of uses, dependent upon both natural and human engineered systems. This conceptual diagram illustrates the main threats and key features of the river basin. — Threats and Features of the Lower Mississippi…

Chilika Lake Pollution Pressure

Chilika Lake Tourism Pressure

Lower Mississippi land use is dominated by developed, forested and cropland areas, and has the largest proportion of wetlands of the entire Mississippi River Basin. — Lower Mississippi Land Cover Map

Several connections were made at the Lower Mississippi River Basin workshops. These connections will be used to develop a basin-wide report card for the watershed. — Lower Mississippi Workshop Connections

The Chesapeake Bay watershed received an above average annual amount of precipitation in 2013. This accompanied degrading conditions in some regions of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and improving conditions in others. — Chesapeake Bay Watershed Percipitation Map 2013

Unsustainable fishing and aquaculture practices have put pressure on the Chilika Lake ecosystem. Dead fish thrown back into the water contaminate the lake while shrimp pens trap sediment and kill juvenile fish. — Chilika Lake Fishing and Aquaculture Pressures

Chilika Lake Sedimentation

Improvements in water quality can be counteracted by changes in nutrient sources and land-use practices. Increased nutrient loads from stormwater and intensified agriculture often overwhelm the positive effects of best management practices. — Counteracting Factors Impacting Best Management…

Emergent wetland species are planted in a buoyant matrix that floats at the water surface. The roots of these plants grow through the matrix and take up the nutrients they need to grow directly from the water, potentially decreasing nutrient concentrations. — Floating Wetlands Structure and Impact

Excess nutrients will result in increased chlorophyll and turbidity, limiting the amount of light that reaches benthic sediment. Light is essential for healthy submerged aquatic vegetation growth. — Light and Dark Conditions Impact on Submerged…

Gutters and downspouts installed onto buildings direct rainwater from roofs to rain gardens. Plants with deep root systems encourage stormwater infiltration and absorbs excess nutrient runoff. — Multiple Benefits of Rain Gardens

Coastal wetlands that are protected from erosion have an adequate sediment supply to build upwards, and will likely be more resilient to the effects of climate change. — Coastal Wetlands Resilience to Climate Change…

Diagram depicting Human-caused and natural vulnerabilities of Chesapeake Bay to climate impacts. — Human-caused and natural vulnerabilities of…

Diagram showing resources of and threats to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. — Diagram showing resources of and threats to…

Conceptual diagram illustrating impervious and pervious surfaces. — Impervious versus pervious surfaces

Conceptual diagram illustrating Regenerative stormwater conveyance systems (RSC). — Regenerative stormwater conveyance systems (RSC)

Conceptual diagram illustrating the nitrogen cycle, including the Haber-Bosch process. Diagram from /link/blog_nitrogen-fixation — The nitrogen cycle with Haber-Bosch process

Conceptual diagram illustrating preparations for the effects of climate change: Elevating and moving houses and utilities away from flood plain boundaries make them less vulnerable to storms and may lower flood insurance rates. Rather than building a concrete levy to protect property, consider a natural shoreline that offers the same benefit. — Adaptation to Climate Change
