Book Description
The health of a natural body of water is inextricably linked to the condition of its watershed. Land cover and land use activities within a watershed are the sources of nonpoint source pollution, the greatest water quality problem facing U.S. waters today, and are influenced by such wide-ranging entities as governmental agencies, industries, conservation groups, farmers, and private property owners. Because traditional regulatory measures have been inadequate in curbing nonpoint source pollution, collaborative watershed management has emerged as a means to improving and protecting water bodies. This study examines one collaborative watershed management program, the Lake Erie Balanced Growth Program, in terms of its effectiveness at developing multi-jurisdictional watershed plans that will likely be implemented in a widespread and consistent manner throughout the watershed. The study identifies the roadblocks encountered by the Balanced Growth Program pilot projects, such as mistrust among participants, the influence of politics, and governmental fragmentation, and offers recommendations as to how the program may be improved to overcome these roadblocks in the future. The study found the most significant problem emerging from collaborative watershed management is that of indifference towards healthy watershed behavior and cooperation in a collaborative effort. Future watershed management efforts should allocate more resources towards education and motivation of local governments particularly to encourage them to participate in collaborative watershed management and follow through on the implementation of the resulting watershed plan.

Influence of Lake Levels and Ice Cover on a Modified Shoreline

Book Description
Ohio's Lake Erie shoreline, situated along the high-energy south-central Lake Erie coast, is characterized as a sediment-starved, wave-dominated erosional coastal system. Harbor-protecting structures installed in the early 1900s have fragmented the littoral system, which trends from W to E across the area, trapping bluff-derived sediments on their up-drift sides. The studied depositional harbor headlands of Lake County (i.e. Headlands Beach) and Ashtabula County (i.e. Walnut Beach and Conneaut Beach) are located along a ~65 km stretch of the south-central Lake Erie shoreline. Given many shared similarities and similar degrees of exposure to lake-level variations, winter-ice covers, and storm conditions (with associated surge levels, waves, and strong coastal currents), the geologic and anthropogenic distinctions between the sites need to be evaluated as potential drivers of coastal change. Historic shoreline positions, mapped from georeferenced aerial photographs, provide a chronology to evaluate the recent geomorphic evolution of these headlands with respect to these physical forcing parameters. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data reveal changes in prograding clinoform (i.e. preserved foreshore deposits) geometry, attesting to the inherent dynamics of headland beaches, which have been impacted by episodic erosion and deposition at decadal timescales. Multiple regression analysis of net beach growth, derived from shoreline positions, versus lake level and ice cover suggest that high lake levels are more strongly associated with beach growth overall; this is surprising given variable sediment sources and beach compositions from site to site. Beach growth during elevated lake levels are likely attributed to increased sediment fluxes from sourcing bluffs. Ice cover appears to play a secondary, yet important role in headland evolution as both an erosional and depositional mechanism capable of entraining course-grained sediments and reshaping shorelines. The design of harbor structures influences sedimentation at the headlands by dictating the bounds of beach form. Changes in the rates of decadal beach progradation are associated with distinct changes in breakwater orientation, which represent an intrinsic control on the distribution of accommodation-space distribution at the shoreline.
The Lake Erie Ports of Ohio

Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Learn about the wonders of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair in this fascinating and readable book. The most comprehensive reference source available about the lakes, Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair Handbook is an ideal guide for anglers, boaters, swimmers, beach walkers—anyone who uses and enjoys the lakes. The handbook explains, in simple terms, the reasons for the scenic beauty and the natural events that occur in the coastal and offshore waters of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, including the St. Clair, Detroit, and Niagara rivers extending from Sarnia, Ontario, to Niagara-on-the-Lake, New York. Individual chapters focus on the land, air, water, and life forms that comprise the natural history and environment of the region—the shoreline topography, wind and weather patterns, water temperature cycles and water level changes, the ecology, and indigenous animal life. Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair Handbook enhances our understanding and appreciation of the lakes and their surroundings by addressing fundamental questions about the Lake Erie region: • how Lake Erie was formed through glacial processes • why daily and seasonal weather patterns occur • causes of the water currents and waves • causes of temperature patterns in the lakes • the location of productive reef features • the species of fish and birds found in the area • the importance of the wetlands • the effect of current and past pollution on the aquatic life in the lakes
