"The primary purpose of this study was to focus on the land use/water quality link and how it is influenced by market demands and local land use planning and regulatory systems. This study reviews historical practices that have influenced land use planning in Michigan; existing demographic, economic, transportation and environmental trends which continue to impact land use demands; and, [sic] how these trends affect both surface and groundwater quality. Key biological concepts and issues are also reviewed to provide a frame of reference for a discussion of local land use planning and land use controls ... Following the initial presentation of introductory and trend analysis information, a brief overview of applicable state and federal water quality and land use legislation as well as regulatory programs are outlined."--Preface

A key question for individuals involved in managing watersheds is, "What is an effective process that will integrate science, policy, and public participation in order to help manage water resources effectively?" The Watershed Project Management Guide presents a four-phase approach to watershed management that is based on a collaborative process th

According to a 1996 report to congress, the Environmental Protection Agency stated that nutrients, primarily from agriculture, are the most common pollutants affecting lakes and constitute 49% of all the water quality problems that have been identified in lakes. Therefore, there is a strong need to evaluate the agricultural and other anthropogenic factors that contribute to the degradation of aquatic ecosystems-especially in areas that are dominated by agriculture. This project takes a watershed approach to analyzing water quality issues by evaluating agricultural land use impacts on indicators of aquatic ecosystem integrity. This approach incorporates the diverse aspects of agricultural and aquatic ecosystems through the use ofbiophysical models and a geographic information system (GIS).

As a wetland of international importance located in China, the Poyang Lake Basin's incredible topographical and biological diversity has provided a congregating point for scientists from around the world to engage in cross-disciplinary research. In particular, the International Conference on Poyang Lake Complex Environment System was instrumental i
