The term "watershed" means a ridge or crest line separating two drainage basins.
True or False
problem2)
The fragmentation of federal resource management policies was never identified as one of the most chronic impediments to watershed planning and management efforts.
True or False
problem3)
In a watershed management planning process, a Quality Assurance and Quality Control manual must be developed and followed by all parties involved except volunteers (e.g. school children) who help in collecting watershed data.
True or False
problem4)
A typical watershed management approach involves identifying problems in the watershed, coordinating activities with other stakeholders, measuring success through efficient monitoring and evaluation, and developing increased public involvement beyond geographical boundaries.
True or False
problem5)
Sustainability generally means viewing economic, environmental, and social values as complementary and interdependent, and working to sustain only the environmental values over time.
True or False
problem6)
Sediment supply can be a major factor in determining channel morphology, which in turn determines many of the primary physical and biological characteristics of a river.
True or False
problem7)
The hydrologic effects of urbanization are as severe as timber harvesting or agricultural activities.
True or False
problem8)
Adaptive management involves managing an entire system of ecological resources for sustainability.
True or False
problem9)
A watershed management approach generally attempts to reduce the variation of hydrologic regimes and their associated characteristics of timing, duration, frequency, and rate of change.
True or False
problem10)
As a watershed management planner, it is a waste of time and scarce resources to create a favorable environment whereby stakeholders are free and allowed to ask problems about watershed projects that impact them.
True or False
problem11)
A watershed management approach that effectively involves stakeholders, entails an experimental approach to watershed management in the sense that participants must be prepared to learn from their mistakes and to adapt their management strategies to changing conditions.
True or False
problem12)
Stakeholder involvement is a desirable and essential component of any watershed planning and management.
True or False
problem13)
Regardless of the way slope is expressed, knowing the general slopes of streams and areas of your watershed, will provide a good indication of watershed processes and management alternatives.
True or False
problem14)
In a watershed management approach, goals and objectives must be established early in the watershed assessment and planning process and must not be changed even when new information and/or problems are uncovered.
True or False
problem15)
As long as stakeholders are involved, watershed management plans do not have to consider existing laws, regulations, and other institutions that may constrain or facilitate watershed management components.
True or False
problem16)
Effluent Trading is a process whereby if one pollutant source cannot meet established load requirements, the regulatory agency (e.g. EPA) reduces the load requirements, limits, or standards so that all pollutant sources are in compliance with the law.
True or False
problem17)
A watershed management approach is an approach to resource (e.g. water) restoration, protection and management that enables individuals, groups, and institutions with a stake in watershed management outcomes to participate in identifying and addressing local issues that affect or are affected by watershed functions.
True or False
problem18)
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is the calculation of the maximum quantity of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still safely meet designated water quality standards and uses.
True or False
problem19)
In a watershed management approach, professional resource managers are considered as experts who are uniquely qualified to identify and implement all watershed management strategies.
True or False
problem20)
Quality Assurance refers to the checks, balances, reviews, and analysis of the data and final reports to ensure that they are accurate and true.
True or False
problem21)
Eutrophication, which is caused by over-enrichment with nutrients, is a wide spread problem in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal oceans.
True or False
