Principles of Water Resources
Author: Thomas V. CechPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118790294
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
Proper management of water resources can take many forms, and requires the knowledge and expertise to work at the intersection of mathematics, geology, biology, geography, meteorology, political science, and even psychology. This book provides an essential foundation in water management and development concepts and practices, dissecting complex topics into short, understandable explanations that spark true interest in the field. Approaching the study of water resources systematically, the discussion begins with historical perspective before moving on to physical processes, engineering, water chemistry, government regulation, environmental issues, global conflict, and more. Now in its fourth edition, this text provides the most current introduction to a field that is becoming ever more critical as climate change begins to threaten water supplies around the world. As geography, climate, population growth, and technology collide, effective resource management must include a comprehensive understanding of how these forces intermingle and come to life in the water so critical to us all.
Situational Prevention of Poaching
Author: Andrew LemieuxPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136207686
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
For centuries, criminologists have looked for scientific ways to study, understand, and ultimately prevent crime. In this volume, a unique offense, poaching, is explored in various contexts to determine what opportunity structures favor this crime and how situational crime prevention may reduce its prevalence. The data sources used range from publically available secondary data about animal populations, to interviews with hunters, to actual law enforcement data collected inside protected areas. Various methods are utilized to look for patterns in poaching behaviour regarding where poachers strike, which species they target and their modus operandi. Collectively, the volume shows that principles of criminal opportunity theory and situational crime prevention are useful for studying and preventing poaching in a variety of contexts. The methods employed by each chapter are easily replicated and meant to stimulate empirical poaching research where data is available. While the theoretical grounding of this volume is drawn from criminology, it is written for a broad audience of academics, practitioners and those interested in wildlife conservation.

Lesser and Canadian Sandhill Crane Populations, Age Structure, and Harvest
Author: Raymond J. BullerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bird populations
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Lesser (Grus canadensis canadensis) and Canadian (G. c. rowani) sandhill cranes were studied from 1974 through 1977 in portions of the Central Flyway and Saskatchewan, Canada. The primary purposes of the study were to obtain estimates of (1) the lesser and Canadian sandhill crane populations during the fall and spring, (2) percent of juveniles in the population, and (3) hunting pressure, harvest, and crippling loss. Visual estimates of the numbers of cranes occurring within the main fall staging areas on the principal wintering grounds were made during periods of peak migration each October, and on the Platte River in Nebraska each spring. Feeding, roosting, and flying sandhill cranes were aged throughout the study area during fall and winter with the aid of binoculars and spotting scopes.
