The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program has partnered with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Parks Service over the past decade to complete several habitat restoration projects on FDEP and District owned lands within the Charlotte Harbor watershed. Two large-scale projects, the Alligator Creek Habitat Restoration Project and the Coral Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project, are currently underway. These multi-year, phased projects encompass over 4,000 acres of land in Charlotte County, providing significant benefits to wildlife and fisheries. The Alligator Creek Habitat Restoration Project is located on a 1,600 acre site that is owned by FDEP and is located south of Punta Gorda abutting Charlotte Harbor. The project is now in Phase III of design. Previous phases included a total of seven projects, encompassing nearly 740 restored acres. Five additional projects are included in Phase III. Project goals for this phase consist of restoring the historic hydroperiod to approximately 90 acres of wetland and salttern area, which has been severely impacted by anthropogenic activities. Construction is expected to commence in the fall of 2013. Monitoring of Project 16, within Phase II, is expected to be completed in the fall of 2013. The Coral Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project is located on 2,600 acres of FDEP and District co-owned land. The land is managed by the FDEP. This multi-faceted project consists of hydrologic and habitat restoration of degraded and impacted wetlands on the Cape Haze peninsula. The project is also expected to provide water quality polishing for stormwater flows currently entering the project area from the Rotonda subdivision. A feasibility report for the entire site has been completed, which identifies seven phased project areas. Construction of this phase will be completed in the fall of 2013. Design of Phase II is expected to begin in September 2013. Future project phases for Alligator Creek are not planned at this time. However, six additional phases of the Coral Creek project are conceptually designed. Including the two above mentioned projects, the SWIM Program has partially or fully funded over 40 research and restoration projects in the Charlotte Harbor watershed, leading to nearly 1,100 restored acres.

The Puyallup River watershed is a major source of fresh water into Puget Sound through Commencement Bay in Tacoma. But it suffers from a multitude of pollution problems, including policies on "land use favoring paving and shingles," as detailed in this documentary from UW Tacoma. The program takes viewers through the interwoven watershed-river system that supplies water for drinking, irrigation, recreation, food, wildlife and the natural beauty of the Northwest. It explains how spreading urbanization threatens the Puget Sound area's water supply and lays out the case for improvement: to clean up Puget Sound, start with the watersheds.

SWFWMD's Lake Hancock Projects -- Improving Low Flows and Water Quality in the Upper Peace River
Randy Smith, randy.smith@swfwmd.state.fl.us
Southwest FL Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604
Lake Hancock is a 4,500-acre nutrient enriched lake located in central Polk County. Discharges from the lake to Lower Saddle Creek join with Peace Creek to form the headwaters of the Peace River. Over the years land use changes and water withdrawals have altered the hydrology of the Upper Peace River (UPR) resulting in: lower local and regional groundwater levels; extended periods of low or non-existent flow; and degraded water quality and altered ecosystems. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project will address low flows in the UPR by replacing the P-11 control structure located on Lower Saddle Creek and raising the control elevation of the lake from 98.7 ft NGVD to 100.0 ft NGVD. The additional water storage created will be slowly released during the dry season to help achieve minimum flows and levels in the UPR. The project is a critical component of the District's Southern Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy. Project construction on all components necessary to raise the lake level will be complete by summer of 2014 and the project will be operational summer of 2014. The Lake Hancock Outfall Wetland Project will address improving water quality discharging from Lake Hancock by constructing a 1,000-acre treatment wetland. The wetland is located on the southern shore of Lake Hancock and the primary goal of the project is to reduce nitrogen loads discharged from the lake to the UPR and ultimately Charlotte Harbor, an estuary of national significance and a Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program priority water body. Historical data has shown that the Lake Hancock watershed contributes the greatest nitrogen load on a per acre basis to the Peace River when compared to other major tributaries and associated drainage basins along the river. The project is specifically identified in the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's Comprehensive Plan (CCMP) and in the Charlotte Harbor SWIM Plan as a priority action to address water quality degradation. One of the objectives of the CCMP is to remove at least two sub-basins from the impaired list by 2015. This project will help meet that goal by removing an estimated 174,000 pounds of nitrogen annually discharged from lake Hancock. The project was completed in December 2013 and will be operational summer of 2014.

Sustainability Seminar Series:
Utilizing sustainable principles for water quality management
Jointly Sponsored By:
The Center for Environmental Systems and the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering (CEOE)
By Biswarup Guha (Roop)
Bureau of Environmental Analysis Restoration & Standards(BEARS)
Division of Water Monitoring and Standards (WM&S;)
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
ABSTRACT
States are responsible for monitoring and assessing the waters of the state, publishing biennially the 305(b) water quality integrated report discussing the health of the assessed waters and prioritizing the efforts to restore impaired waters and 303(d) lists for the impaired waters. States are also responsible to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) and/or watershed restoration plans and their implementation. This system results in incremental improvement in water quality to eventually meet the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) goals of having all waters as fishable and swimmable. States receive Section 319(h) funds under the CWA which are utilized to either develop or implement restoration/protection plans or other nonpoint source pollution control (NPS) related projects. The presentation will provide an overview of the sustainable practices that have been implemented by WM&S;/BEARS while striving at generating sustainable solutions to improve water quality throughout the state.

Surface water
Surface water is water on the surface of the planet such as in a stream, river, lake, wetland, or ocean. It can be contrasted with groundwater and atmospheric water.
Non-saline surface water is replenished by precipitation and by recruitment from ground-water. It is lost through evaporation, seepage into the ground where it becomes ground-water, used by plants for transpiration, extracted by mankind for agriculture, living, industry etc. or discharged to the sea where it becomes saline.
Conjunctive use of ground and surface water
Surface and ground water are two separate entities, so they must be regarded as such. However, there is an ever-increasing need for management of the two as they are part of an interrelated system that is paramount when the demand for water exceeds the available supply (Fetter 464). Depletion of surface and ground water sources for public consumption (including industrial, commercial, and residential) is caused by over-pumping. Aquifers near river systems that are over-pumped have been known to deplete surface water sources as well. Research supporting this has been found in numerous water budgets for a multitude of cities.

Lake Hancock
Lake Hancock is a lake located north of Bartow, Florida in Polk County, Florida. Lake Hancock is located in the Polk Upland area between the Winter Haven Ridge and Lakeland Ridge. As part of the upper Peace River watershed, the lake has ecological importance throughout southwest Florida according to the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Lake Hancock is shallow with an average depth of four feet and a maximum depth of 16 feet (4.9 m). At 4,573 acres (18.51 km2), the lake is one of the largest lakes in Polk County, Florida; the center of the cities of Bartow, Lakeland, and Winter Haven roughly form an equilateral triangle with sides of 12 miles (19 km) and Lake Hancock forms over 25% of that triangle. The first settlements in the area occurred in 1849 when small farms were established in the area as a result of migration from a hurricane in the Tampa Bay area.
Flora and Fauna
The lake is surrounded by cypress forests with the understory primarily red maple and black willow. The open areas of the lake are relatively free from native vegetation, although hydrilla can occasionally be an issue and algae is abundant.

Water resource management
Water resource management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources. It is a sub-set of water cycle management. Ideally, water resource management planning has regard to all the competing demands for water and seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy all uses and demands. As with other resource management, this is rarely possible in practice.
Water resources
Water is an essential resource for all life on the planet. Of the water resources on Earth only three percent of it is fresh and two-thirds of the freshwater is locked up in ice caps and glaciers. Of the remaining one percent, a fifth is in remote, inaccessible areas and much seasonal rainfall in monsoonal deluges and floods cannot easily be used. At present only about 0.08 percent of all the world’s fresh water is exploited by mankind in ever increasing demand for sanitation, drinking, manufacturing, leisure and agriculture.
Much efforts in water resource management is directed at optimising the use of water and in minimising the environmental impact of water use on the natural environment.

SWFWMD's Lake Hancock Projects -- Improving Low Flows and Water Quality in the Upper Peace River Randy Smith, randy.smith@swfwmd.state.fl.us Southwest FL Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604 Lake Hancock is a 4,500-acre nutrient enriched lake located in central Polk County. Discharges from the lake to Lower Saddle Creek join with Peace Creek to form the headwaters of the Peace River. Over the years land use changes and water withdrawals have altered the hydrology of the Upper Peace River (UPR) resulting in: lower local and regional groundwater levels; extended periods of low or non-existent flow; and degraded water quality and altered ecosystems. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project will address low flows in the UPR by replacing the P-11 control structure located on Lower Saddle Creek and raising the control elevation of the lake from 98.7 ft NGVD to 100.0 ft NGVD. The additional water storage created will be slowly released during the dry season to help achieve minimum flows and levels in the UPR. The project is a critical component of the District's Southern Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy. Project construction on all components necessary to raise the lake level will be complete by summer of 2014 and the project will be operational summer of 2014. The Lake Hancock Outfall Wetland Project will address improving water quality discharging from Lake Hancock by constructing a 1,000-acre treatment wetland. The wetland is located on the southern shore of Lake Hancock and the primary goal of the project is to reduce nitrogen loads discharged from the lake to the UPR and ultimately Charlotte Harbor, an estuary of national significance and a Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program priority water body. Historical data has shown that the Lake Hancock watershed contributes the greatest nitrogen load on a per acre basis to the Peace River when compared to other major tributaries and associated drainage basins along the river. The project is specifically identified in the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's Comprehensive Plan (CCMP) and in the Charlotte Harbor SWIM Plan as a priority action to address water quality degradation. One of the objectives of the CCMP is to remove at least two sub-basins from the impaired list by 2015. This project will help meet that goal by removing an estimated 174,000 pounds of nitrogen annually discharged from lake Hancock.

Water Undone: The Efforts to Save the Puyallup River Watershed
The Puyallup River watershed is a major source of fresh water into Puget Sound through Commencement Bay in Tacoma. But it suffers from a multitude of pollution problems, including policies on "land use favoring paving and shingles," as detailed in this documentary from UW Tacoma. The program takes viewers through the interwoven watershed-river system that supplies water for drinking, irrigation, recreation, food, wildlife and the natural beauty of the Northwest. It explains how spreading urbanization threatens the Puget Sound area's water supply and lays out the case for improvement: to clean up Puget Sound, start with the watersheds.

The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program has partnered with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Parks Service over the past decade to complete several habitat restoration projects on FDEP and District owned lands within the Charlotte Harbor watershed. Two large-scale projects, the Alligator Creek Habitat Restoration Project and the Coral Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project, are currently underway. These multi-year, phased projects encompass over 4,000 acres of land in Charlotte County, providing significant benefits to wildlife and fisheries. The Alligator Creek Habitat Restoration Project is located on a 1,600 acre site that is owned by FDEP and is located south of Punta Gorda abutting Charlotte Harbor. The project is now in Phase III of design. Previous phases included a total of seven projects, encompassing nearly 740 restored acres. Five additional projects are included in Phase III. Project goals for this phase consist of restoring the historic hydroperiod to approximately 90 acres of wetland and salttern area, which has been severely impacted by anthropogenic activities. Construction is expected to commence in the fall of 2013. Monitoring of Project 16, within Phase II, is expected to be completed in the fall of 2013. The Coral Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project is located on 2,600 acres of FDEP and District co-owned land. The land is managed by the FDEP. This multi-faceted project consists of hydrologic and habitat restoration of degraded and impacted wetlands on the Cape Haze peninsula. The project is also expected to provide water quality polishing for stormwater flows currently entering the project area from the Rotonda subdivision. A feasibility report for the entire site has been completed, which identifies seven phased project areas. Construction of this phase will be completed in the fall of 2013. Design of Phase II is expected to begin in September 2013. Future project phases for Alligator Creek are not planned at this time. However, six additional phases of the Coral Creek project are conceptually designed. Including the two above mentioned projects, the SWIM Program has partially or fully funded over 40 research and restoration projects in the Charlotte Harbor watershed, leading to nearly 1,100 restored acres.

SWFWMD's Lake Hancock Projects -- Improving Low Flows and Water Quality in the Upper Peace River
Randy Smith, randy.smith@swfwmd.state.fl.us
Southwest FL Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604
Lake Hancock is a 4,500-acre nutrient enriched lake located in central Polk County. Discharges from the lake to Lower Saddle Creek join with Peace Creek to form the headwaters of the Peace River. Over the years land use changes and water withdrawals have altered the hydrology of the Upper Peace River (UPR) resulting in: lower local and regional groundwater levels; extended periods of low or non-existent flow; and degraded water quality and altered ecosystems. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project will address low flows in the UPR by replacing the P-11 control structure located on Lower Saddle Creek and raising the control elevation of the lake from 98.7 ft NGVD to 100.0 ft NGVD. The additional water storage created will be slowly released during the dry season to help achieve minimum flows and levels in the UPR. The project is a critical component of the District's Southern Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy. Project construction on all components necessary to raise the lake level will be complete by summer of 2014 and the project will be operational summer of 2014. The Lake Hancock Outfall Wetland Project will address improving water quality discharging from Lake Hancock by constructing a 1,000-acre treatment wetland. The wetland is located on the southern shore of Lake Hancock and the primary goal of the project is to reduce nitrogen loads discharged from the lake to the UPR and ultimately Charlotte Harbor, an estuary of national significance and a Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program priority water body. Historical data has shown that the Lake Hancock watershed contributes the greatest nitrogen load on a per acre basis to the Peace River when compared to other major tributaries and associated drainage basins along the river. The project is specifically identified in the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's Comprehensive Plan (CCMP) and in the Charlotte Harbor SWIM Plan as a priority action to address water quality degradation. One of the objectives of the CCMP is to remove at least two sub-basins from the impaired list by 2015. This project will help meet that goal by removing an estimated 174,000 pounds of nitrogen annually discharged from lake Hancock. The project was completed in December 2013 and will be operational summer of 2014.

ABSTRACT
States are responsible for monitoring and assessing the waters of the state, publishing biennially the 305(b) water quality integrated report discussing the health of the assessed waters and prioritizing the efforts to restore impaired waters and 303(d) lists for the impaired waters. States are also responsible to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) and/or watershed restoration plans and their implementation. This system results in incremental improvement in water quality to eventually meet the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) goals of having all waters as fishable and swimmable. States receive Section 319(h) funds under the CWA which are utilized to either develop or implement restoration/protection plans or other nonpoint source pollution control (NPS) related projects. The presentation will provide an overview of the sustainable practices that have been implemented by WM&S;/BEARS while striving at generating sustainable solutions to improve water quality throughout the state.

SWFWMD's Lake Hancock Projects -- Improving Low Flows and Water Quality in the Upper Peace River Randy Smith, randy.smith@swfwmd.state.fl.us Southwest FL Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604 Lake Hancock is a 4,500-acre nutrient enriched lake located in central Polk County. Discharges from the lake to Lower Saddle Creek join with Peace Creek to form the headwaters of the Peace River. Over the years land use changes and water withdrawals have altered the hydrology of the Upper Peace River (UPR) resulting in: lower local and regional groundwater levels; extended periods of low or non-existent flow; and degraded water quality and altered ecosystems. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project will address low flows in the UPR by replacing the P-11 contro...

The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program has partnered with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Parks Service over the past decade to complete several habitat restoration projects on FDEP and District owned lands within the Charlotte Harbor watershed. Two large-scale projects, the Alligator Creek Habitat Restoration Project and the Coral Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project, are currently underway. These multi-year, phased projects encompass over 4,000 acres of land in Charlotte County, providing significant benefits to wildlife and fisheries. The Alligator Creek Habitat Restoration Project is located on a 1,600 acre site that is owned by FDEP and is located south of Punta Gorda abutting Charlotte Harbor. The project is now in Phase III of design. Previous phases included a total of seven projects, encompassing nearly 740 restored acres. Five additional projects are included in Phase III. Project goals for this phase consist of restoring the historic hydroperiod to approximately 90 acres of wetland and salttern area, which has been severely impacted by anthropogenic activities. Construction is expected to commence in the fall of 2013. Monitoring of Project 16, within Phase II, is expected to be completed in the fall of 2013. The Coral Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project is located on 2,600 acres of FDEP and District co-owned land. The land is managed by the FDEP. This multi-faceted project consists of hydrologic and habitat restoration of degraded and impacted wetlands on the Cape Haze peninsula. The project is also expected to provide water quality polishing for stormwater flows currently entering the project area from the Rotonda subdivision. A feasibility report for the entire site has been completed, which identifies seven phased project areas. Construction of this phase will be completed in the fall of 2013. Design of Phase II is expected to begin in September 2013. Future project phases for Alligator Creek are not planned at this time. However, six additional phases of the Coral Creek project are conceptually designed. Including the two above mentioned projects, the SWIM Program has partially or fully funded over 40 research and restoration projects in the Charlotte Harbor watershed, leading to nearly 1,100 restored acres.

Southwest FL Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604
Lake Hancock is a 4,500-acre nutrient enriched lake located in central Polk County. Discharges from the lake to Lower Saddle Creek join with Peace Creek to form the headwaters of the Peace River. Over the years land use changes and water withdrawals have altered the hydrology of the Upper Peace River (UPR) resulting in: lower local and regional groundwater levels; extended periods of low or non-existent flow; and degraded water quality and altered ecosystems. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project will address low flows in the UPR by replacing the P-11 control structure located on Lower Saddle Creek and raising the control elevation of the lake from 98.7 ft NGVD to 100.0 ft NGVD. The additional water storage created will be slowly released during the dry season to help achieve minimum flows and levels in the UPR. The project is a critical component of the District's Southern Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy. Project construction on all components necessary to raise the lake level will be complete by summer of 2014 and the project will be operational summer of 2014. The Lake Hancock Outfall Wetland Project will address improving water quality discharging from Lake Hancock by constructing a 1,000-acre treatment wetland. The wetland is located on the southern shore of Lake Hancock and the primary goal of the project is to reduce nitrogen loads discharged from the lake to the UPR and ultimately Charlotte Harbor, an estuary of national significance and a Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program priority water body. Historical data has shown that the Lake Hancock watershed contributes the greatest nitrogen load on a per acre basis to the Peace River when compared to other major tributaries and associated drainage basins along the river. The project is specifically identified in the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's Comprehensive Plan (CCMP) and in the Charlotte Harbor SWIM Plan as a priority action to address water quality degradation. One of the objectives of the CCMP is to remove at least two sub-basins from the impaired list by 2015. This project will help meet that goal by removing an estimated 174,000 pounds of nitrogen annually discharged from lake Hancock. The project was completed in December 2013 and will be operational summer of 2014.

ABSTRACT
States are responsible for monitoring and assessing the waters of the state, publishing biennially the 305(b) water quality integrated report discussing the health of the assessed waters and prioritizing the efforts to restore impaired waters and 303(d) lists for the impaired waters. States are also responsible to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) and/or watershed restoration plans and their implementation. This system results in incremental improvement in water quality to eventually meet the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) goals of having all waters as fishable and swimmable. States receive Section 319(h) funds under the CWA which are utilized to either develop or implement restoration/protection plans or other nonpoint source pollution control (NPS) related projects. The presentation will provide an overview of the sustainable practices that have been implemented by WM&S;/BEARS while striving at generating sustainable solutions to improve water quality throughout the state.

Water Undone: The Efforts to Save the Puyallup River Watershed
The Puyallup River watershed is a major source of fresh water into Puget Sound through Commencement Bay in Tacoma. But it suffers from a multitude of pollution problems, including policies on "land use favoring paving and shingles," as detailed in this documentary from UW Tacoma. The program takes viewers through the interwoven watershed-river system that supplies water for drinking, irrigation, recreation, food, wildlife and the natural beauty of the Northwest. It explains how spreading urbanization threatens the Puget Sound area's water supply and lays out the case for improvement: to clean up Puget Sound, start with the watersheds.

Drainage Water Management Awareness
Presented by Patrick H. Willey, P.E., Wetland and Drainage Engineer, USDA NRCS West National Technology Support Center; Hamid Farahani, Ph.D., Water Management Engineer, USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center; Ruth Book, Ph.D., P.E., State Conservation Engineer, USDA NRCS Illinois; and Jerry Walker, P.E., Agricultural Engineer, USDA NRCS Central National Technology Support Center Unrestricted agricultural drainage systems contribute to increased loss of nitrates and other soluble constituents that end up in nearby water bodies. This creates economic, environmental, and human health concerns downstream. A prime example is evident in the Mississippi River Basin, within which the nitrate carried in drainage water is contributing to hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. Drainage researc...

Save more, Grow more, Earn more
How do farmers grow more, while saving time, water and money? Prices for irrigation, fertilizer, fuel and labor are rising. Fresh water supplies are decreasing, and many farmers find it increasingly difficult to plant their crop on time to assure good yields and return on their investments. This video shows how farmers in Bangladesh are innovating to overcome these problems by using small-scale and appropriate machinery, and crop management practices that reduce tillage to save time, soil moisture, and money. Inspiring case studies are presented from two distinct environments in Bangladesh. In the coastal region, soil salinity and insufficient irrigation are important constraints that keep farmers from growing a dry season crop. But by using simple machinery that reduces tillage to allow...

Webinar: Off-Design Operation of Pump Systems
Fan systems are large energy users at many industrial and commercial sites, with numerous opportunities to make significant energy saving improvements, often through relatively minor and inexpensive system modifications or control set point adjustments. With most fans integrated into complex systems it is critical to understand the system as a whole to ensure an optimal outcome, beyond just the basic energy savings. The operating point of any fan system is determined by the equilibrium point between the system curve (the “demand” for pressure and flow) and the performance curve(s) of the fan(s) themselves (potential “supply” of pressure and flow). Like most energy systems it is important to firstly understand the demand of the system and then ensure that the correct sizing and control st...

Strip Tillage: Time and Cost Saving Conservation Agriculture Technology
Strip Tillage is a way to reduce production costs, save soil moisture, and improve soils in the long term, and can be accomplished using simple equipment attached to a two wheel tractor. By removing half the blades from a power tiller operated seeder (PTOS), strip tillage can be performed for many crops, including rice, maize, mungbean, wheat, and others. The required number of furrow openers is set according to line to line distance of a particular crop. Using strip tillage, crops can also be sown quickly because tillage and seeding is performed in a single day, rather than tilling, waiting to till again, then sowing, and then tilling seeds again into the soil. This can reduce turnaround time between crops by a number of days, which can increase yields. Depending on the crop, strip ti...

Southwest FL Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604
Lake Hancock is a 4,500-acre nutrient enriched lake located in central Polk County. Discharges from the lake to Lower Saddle Creek join with Peace Creek to form the headwaters of the Peace River. Over the years land use changes and water withdrawals have altered the hydrology of the Upper Peace River (UPR) resulting in: lower local and regional groundwater levels; extended periods of low or non-existent flow; and degraded water quality and altered ecosystems. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project will address low flows in the UPR by replacing the P-11 control structure located on Lower Saddle Creek and raising the control elevation of the lake from 98.7 ft NGVD to 100.0 ft NGVD. The additional water storage created will be slowly released during the dry season to help achieve minimum flows and levels in the UPR. The project is a critical component of the District's Southern Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy. Project construction on all components necessary to raise the lake level will be complete by summer of 2014 and the project will be operational summer of 2014. The Lake Hancock Outfall Wetland Project will address improving water quality discharging from Lake Hancock by constructing a 1,000-acre treatment wetland. The wetland is located on the southern shore of Lake Hancock and the primary goal of the project is to reduce nitrogen loads discharged from the lake to the UPR and ultimately Charlotte Harbor, an estuary of national significance and a Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program priority water body. Historical data has shown that the Lake Hancock watershed contributes the greatest nitrogen load on a per acre basis to the Peace River when compared to other major tributaries and associated drainage basins along the river. The project is specifically identified in the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's Comprehensive Plan (CCMP) and in the Charlotte Harbor SWIM Plan as a priority action to address water quality degradation. One of the objectives of the CCMP is to remove at least two sub-basins from the impaired list by 2015. This project will help meet that goal by removing an estimated 174,000 pounds of nitrogen annually discharged from lake Hancock. The project was completed in December 2013 and will be operational summer of 2014.

Presented by Patrick H. Willey, P.E., Wetland and Drainage Engineer, USDA NRCS West National Technology Support Center; Hamid Farahani, Ph.D., Water Management Engineer, USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center; Ruth Book, Ph.D., P.E., State Conservation Engineer, USDA NRCS Illinois; and Jerry Walker, P.E., Agricultural Engineer, USDA NRCS Central National Technology Support Center
Unrestricted agricultural drainage systems contribute to increased loss of nitrates and other soluble constituents that end up in nearby water bodies. This creates economic, environmental, and human health concerns downstream. A prime example is evident in the Mississippi River Basin, within which the nitrate carried in drainage water is contributing to hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. Drainage research and extension programs are exploring ways to reduce the potential environmental impacts of agricultural drainage while retaining its agronomic benefits. Some practices that can reduce nitrate loads on drained soils include: growing winter forage or cover crops, nutrient management, bioreactors, constructed wetlands, and drainage water management (DWM) or controlled drainage. Controlled drainage is an effective practice for reducing nitrate losses from drainage systems, yet its adoption has not been widespread. This presentation explores the importance of DWM via control structures and its impact on drainage water quantity and quality. Basic DWM planning and implementation information is presented so NRCS conservation planners can begin to add DWM to their toolbox of practices for water quality improvement.

How do farmers grow more, while saving time, water and money?
Prices for irrigation, fertilizer, fuel and labor are rising. Fresh water supplies are decreasing, and many farmers find it increasingly difficult to plant their crop on time to assure good yields and return on their investments. This video shows how farmers in Bangladesh are innovating to overcome these problems by using small-scale and appropriate machinery, and crop management practices that reduce tillage to save time, soil moisture, and money.
Inspiring case studies are presented from two distinct environments in Bangladesh. In the coastal region, soil salinity and insufficient irrigation are important constraints that keep farmers from growing a dry season crop. But by using simple machinery that reduces tillage to allow earlier planting, and keeping crop residues on the soil surface to conserve soil moisture and reduce salinity, a group of women in southern Bangladesh show how to forgo the fallow and grow a profitable maize crop. In central Bangladesh, where the cost of irrigation and farm labor is skyrocketing, farmers and local service providers team up to demonstrate the benefits of planting wheat, maize and legumes on raised beds to reduce labor and irrigation requirements. The crop management principles both groups of farmers use can be applied anywhere -- it is possible to grow more, while saving time, water and money!

Fan systems are large energy users at many industrial and commercial sites, with numerous opportunities to make significant energy saving improvements, often through relatively minor and inexpensive system modifications or control set point adjustments. With most fans integrated into complex systems it is critical to understand the system as a whole to ensure an optimal outcome, beyond just the basic energy savings.
The operating point of any fan system is determined by the equilibrium point between the system curve (the “demand” for pressure and flow) and the performance curve(s) of the fan(s) themselves (potential “supply” of pressure and flow). Like most energy systems it is important to firstly understand the demand of the system and then ensure that the correct sizing and control strategies are employed to meet (supply) this demand.
This webinar will outline the fundamental principles of establishing your system curve, and how fan selection and fan control strategies can impact on the stability and efficiency of the system as a whole. Several industrial case studies will be used to demonstrate the use of systems curve analysis to make gains in system capacity (de-bottlenecking), reliability and energy efficiency. It will be of interest to energy managers, operational and maintenance personal, technical staff, and engineers.
Many process heating needs are met through reticulated steam and condensate return systems, and these systems represent a significant portion of industrial energy usage, and importantly a high percentage of industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As such any improvement in steam system efficiency can contribute not only energy and cost savings for the business but also result in significant GHG emission reductions.
This webinar will discuss how to get started in assessing your steam system, and in identifying the opportunities to improve the efficiency of the system as a whole, through effective optimisation of the steam demand, steam distribution and steam generation. This will lead onto subsequent webinars covering in more detail the importance of boiler chemistry, boiler tuning and detailed steam system optimisation case studies. The webinar will be of interest to energy managers, operational and maintenance personal, technical staff, and plant engineers.
The webinar took place on 3 February 2016.
This free webinar, sponsored by the EECA Business programme, was presented by Dr James Neale, a Senior Mechanical Engineer from the University of Waikato Energy Research Centre.

Strip Tillage is a way to reduce production costs, save soil moisture, and improve soils in the long term, and can be accomplished using simple equipment attached to a two wheel tractor. By removing half the blades from a power tiller operated seeder (PTOS), strip tillage can be performed for many crops, including rice, maize, mungbean, wheat, and others. The required number of furrow openers is set according to line to line distance of a particular crop.
Using strip tillage, crops can also be sown quickly because tillage and seeding is performed in a single day, rather than tilling, waiting to till again, then sowing, and then tilling seeds again into the soil. This can reduce turnaround time between crops by a number of days, which can increase yields. Depending on the crop, strip tillage saves about 25% time and cost of a farmer, and yields of wheat as well as other Rabi crops can be increased when practiced with other best management principles. This short video shows how the Strip till can increase efficiency and secure profit margin both for farmers and local service providers.
The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), partnering with iDE and different Public and Private organizations is promoting Strip Tillage along with other machinery with necessary training to the farmers of Southern Bangladesh under CSISA-MI project. This is a USAID funded five year project initiated in 2013 that targets sustainable intensified and diversified agricultural production to increase household income.
This video production was supported by USAID through the CSISA-MI project, and European Union through ANEP project. The contents and opinions expressed in this video do not necessarily reflect views of USAID or the United States Government, and European Union.
