The Wet Tropics region of north Queensland has outstanding environmental values, contains the highest biological diversity in Australia, and borders the Great Barrier Reef. Comparable to other tropical areas worldwide, increasing urban and agricultural development in the Wet Tropics has caused concerns with respect to ecosystem degradation due to p...
Aboriginal participation in water resources decision making in Australia is similar when compared with Indigenous peoples’ experiences in other common law countries such as the United States and Canada; however, this process has taken different paths. This paper provides a review of the literature detailing current legislative policies and practice...
Water quality monitoring programs (WQMPs) are crucial for assessment of water quality in river basins where agricultural intensification and development raise concerns in freshwater and marine environments. WQMPs if supported by scientists and local communities, and if based on the knowledge needs of all stakeholders, can provide vital information...
The Wet Tropics region of north Queensland contains the highest biological diversity in Australia, has outstanding environmental values, is economically important and located adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Increasing urban development and agricultural intensification in the Wet Tropics has raised serious water quality concerns. To succes...
Water quality monitoring programs (WQMPs) are an important means for assessing water quality,
particularly in river basins where agricultural intensification and development pressures raise
concerns in freshwater and adjacent marine environments. WQMPs, if supported by scientists,
Indigenous peoples, and local communities, and if based on the knowl...

This talk showcases proven practices for environmental education with Native American students on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming and with Hispanic students attending New Mexico Highlands University. Educational technology, outdoor classrooms, and community-based events support experiential learning for improved watershed protection and manag...
A new generation of agricultural research programs are embracing use of participation as a vehicle for achieving greater impact and supporting transformative change in complex social-ecological systems. In this paper, we share learning from use of participatory action research in the Tonle Sap biosphere in Cambodia, as the main implementing methodo...

Water quality on the Valles Caldera, NM
Tetra Tech and Valles Caldera staff have developed a water quality (WQ) sampling program to gather baseline water quality information for Preserve streams. Data collected include: basic water quality parameters (pH, conductivity, temperature, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen). Grab samples for nutrients and general WQ constituents are also taken. St...
Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states to develop Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) management plans for waterbodies determined to be water quality limited. A TMDL documents the amount of a pollutant a waterbody can assimilate without violating applicable water quality standards. Water quality standards are set by States,...
Canyon Creek, located in southwestern New Mexico, is listed on the New Mexico (NM) 2000-2002 303(d) list due to the presence of plant nutrients resulting in nuisance growths of algae. The New Mexico plant nutrients standard is narrative.This creek was originally listed for plant
nutrients based on 1992 data. This determination was based on the best...
In 1997, a settlement agreement was signed between the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and environmental groups concerning the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) in New Mexico. A consent decree (Forest Guardians and Southwest Environmental Center v. Carol Browner, Administrator, US EPA, Civil Action 96-0826 LH/LFG, 1997) laid...
Main tasks of this research were to assess current trophic levels of Townline Lake, examine land uses in the watershed, locate nutrient sources, and examine aquatic plant growth impacts on riparian residents. A water analysis program was undertaken, watershed land use was examined, and a personal interview questionnaire was administered to all ripa...
