The Spanish Acequias of San Antonio
Author: I. Waynne CoxPublisher: Maverick Books
ISBN: 9781893271340
Category : Excavations (Archaeology)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This well researched and documented book recounts the unique history of water and water distribution in early San Antonio, Texas. The founding of San Antonio in 1718 was due to the presence of two major sources of water --San Pedro Springs and the headwaters of the San Antonio River. From these Spanish engineers designed seven major acequia systems that followed sometimes barely perceptible land contours downward. The history and remarkable expertise of those early engineers is recounted here. Photographs and maps of early San Antonio and urban San Antonio add to the story. The manuscript was completed shortly before the renown local San Antonio archaeologist died at the age of 70 years.

Project Planning and Management for Ecological Restoration
Author: John RiegerPublisher: Island Press
ISBN: 9781610913621
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Concern over climate change and the ongoing challenges of managing degraded ecosystems have made the field of ecological restoration a growing focus in the agendas of national and international conservation organizations, including the United Nations. The problems facing us are both complex and urgent, and effective solutions are needed. Project Planning and Management for Ecological Restoration presents principles of sound planning and management that will greatly increase the likelihood that completed projects will meet stakeholder expectations. John Rieger, John Stanley, and Ray Traynor have been involved in restoration activities for over thirty years and were part of the small group of restorationists who recognized the need for a professional organization and in 1987 founded the Society for Ecological Restoration. This book comes out of their experiences practicing restoration, conducting research, and developing and refining new techniques and methods. In the book, the authors describe a process for planning and managing an ecological restoration project using a simple, four-faceted approach: planning, design, implementation, and aftercare. Throughout, the authors show how to incorporate principles of landscape ecology, hydrology, soil science, wildlife biology, genetics, and other scientific disciplines into project design and implementation. Illustrations, checklists, and tables are included to help practitioners recognize and avoid potential problems that may arise. Project Planning and Management for Ecological Restoration provides a straightforward framework for developing and carrying out an ecological restoration project that has the highest potential for success. Professional and volunteer practitioners, land managers, and property owners can apply these guidelines to the wide variety of conditions and locations where restoration is needed. Long overdue, this book will inform and advance the effective practice of this rapidly expanding field.
