Some effects of the introduction of hard water into Carvin Cove Reservoir, Virginia
In November, 1966, Tinker Creek, a hard water stream was introduced into Carvin cove Reservoir, a very infertile, water-supply reservoir. This provided an excellent opportunity to study some of the interactions between fish productivity and water quality. Physicochemical conditions were monitored …

Using Geophysics and Terrestrial LiDAR to Assess Stormwater Parameters in Vacant Lots in Philadelphia
Managing stormwater volume and quality has become an important issue in urban hydrology. Impervious cover associated with urbanization increases surface runoff volumes and degrades the water quality of urban streams and rivers. Cities with combined stormwater and sewer lines such as Philadelphia, …
