Scientific Assessment of Hypoxia in U.S. Coastal Waters
This report, intended for policy-makers and scientists, provides information on hypoxic waters throughout the coastal U.S. It presents an assessment of the causes of hypoxia, while noting ways to manage against hypoxic conditions in the future. Provided by the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, Interagency Working Group on Harmful Algal Blooms, Hypoxia, and Human Health of the Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology. Washington, DC. 2010.
Mapping Watershed Potential to Contribute Phosphorus from Geologic Materials to Receiving Streams, Southeastern United States
This scientific paper includes a map of geologic locations of phosphorus throughout the southeastern United States, and is intended for scientist and policy-makers. The map details locations of phosphorus mining and the associated phosphorus within geologic structures which may leach into surface waters. This research is necessary to determine the contribution of point-source phosphorus pollution of nearby waters from natural environmental sources versus those that may be caused by human activities. Provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). August, 2010.
South Florida Watershed Journal
Intended for any Florida resident, including scientists, policy-makers, and the general public, the South Florida Watershed Journal website is updated weekly and is intended to enhance the timely spread of hydrologic data and watershed news to the Big Cypress watersheds community in South Florida. This website provides watershed data, including rainfall, swampstage, hydroperiod and sheetflow, as well as weekly news and weather updates. Website provided by Robert Sobczak, Hydrologist, Big Cypress National Preserve. December, 2010.
Nutrient Trends in Streams and Rivers of the United States, 1993-2003
This technical report for scientists is a compilation of stream flow and nutrient load data on regional and national levels. Total nitrogen, nitrate, and phosphorus concentrations and loads were determined within streams from 1993-2003. The report examines nutrient loading over the ten year time period spatially, deducing affects of stream flow and nutrient source changes over time. Information provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). 2009.
Florida Red Tide: Current Status
This user-friendly website is for anyone interested in up-to-date red tide events and ongoing monitoring efforts. Past and current red-tide counts are available for all of Florida’s coastal regions. Website provided by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWC/FWRI). 2010.
The UNH Stormwater Center 2005 Report
The 2006 Report will also be available after January 2008. The Stormwater Center studies stormwater-related water quality and quantity issues. UNH designed, constructed, and runs a facility that provides the controlled testing of stormwater management designs and devices. One unique feature is the field facility for research to evaluate and verify the performance of stormwater management devices and technologies. Fifteen different management systems are currently undergoing side-by-side comparison testing under strictly controlled conditions. This on-campus evaluation facility enables the Center to offer technology demonstrations and workshops, and also specialized training opportunities.
The Economics of Low-Impact Development:
A Literature Review - November 2007

The Economics of Low-Impact Development: A Literature Review" is a nice overview which you can download at the ECONorthwest website. Includes analysis of studies on cost savings of reducing floodplain impacts (flooding).
Effects of Urbanization on Stream Ecosystems
Intended for scientists and policy-makers, this website outlines studies of the physical and biological effects of urbanization on aquatic stream ecosystems. These studies were performed across the United States, providing insight into stream protection and restoration needs for urban areas throughout the country. Website provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). June, 2010.
