  • 2010 Water Quality Report University of Florida Main Campus
    2010 Water Quality Report University of Florida Main Campus Prepared by Italo Lenta, M.S., M.S. Mark Clark, Ph.D. Soil and Water Science Department Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences University of Florida, Gainesville 1 Overview Water features in the landscape are often critical habitat for flora and fauna, but they can also provide many aesthetic and recreational amenities to humans. The types of habitat provided and opportunities for human use are often dictated by the quality of water. Many factors affect water quality, and chemical characteristics are often significantly influenced by activities not within the water body itself, but instead by input contributions upstream in the watershed. Characteristics of upstream inputs are driven both by geomorphologic (natural) characteristics of the soil, and anthropogenic (human-caused) activities within the watershed. As the intensity of development within a watershed increases, there is often a commensurate increase in the runoff of chemical and particulate contaminants. For this reason, maintaining or achieving a particular use and aesthetic condition of a water body is dependent on a holistic management effort not just within the water body, but also throughout the entire drainage basin and/or watershed. The University of Florida (UF) has demonstrated its commitment to a sustainable campus through a variety of initiatives, including Greening UF, an application to be certified under Audubon International’s Cooperative Sanctuary Program, the incorporation of a conservation component in its master plan, the creation of a Water Institute, and the establishment of an Office of Sustainability. In addition to these self-initiated efforts, the University is also required under Phase II of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to address potential sources of non-point source pollution through public education, illicit discharge detection and elimination, and implementation of Best Management Practices for storm water runoff.

  • The Graduate Student's Guide to Gainesville, Florida
    THE GRADUATE STUDENT’S GUIDE TO GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA Greetings, fellow graduate students! After having CAMWS in two fairly central (and therefore colder) cities, the 2006 meeting will be held in sunny Gainesville, Florida at the Holiday Inn West (7417 W. Newberry Road: 352-332-7500). April is a wonderful time of year to be in Gainesville, with highs in the upper 70’s to low 80’s, and nighttime temperatures around 55-65. Gainesville is the home of the University of Florida and its 46,000 students, and the size of the university and the success of its athletic teams gives Gainesville an exciting student culture. You will find numerous bars, restaurants, and other fine social establishments, as well as museums, nature parks, and abundant outdoor activities. We at the GSIC have provided for you here tips about dining and entertainment options near the meeting headquarters and throughout the city, since we have the inside scoop (i.e. one of us did their grad work at UF). Should you have questions or other tips, please contact any member of the GSIC; you can find our email addresses on the main GSIC page. Getting To Gainesville Gainesville is served primarily by Gainesville Regional Airport (abbr. GNV; 352- 373-0249). Service to Gainesville usually goes through Memphis, Charlotte, or Atlanta, and prices can be expensive since it is only a regional airport, but Jon has had good luck getting cheap flights through Student Universe (http://www.studentuniverse.com) and Orbitz (http://www.orbitz.com). If you choose to fly into Gainesville, you will need to catch a cab or rent a car in order to get to the Holiday Inn West, which is located roughly 13 miles from the airport.

Levin College of Law March 27, 2006 Executive Summary This report provides a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainable water management on the University of Florida campus by using scientific data to inform policy and management. In 1972, the United States Congress enacted the Clean Water Act. This act set forth groundbreaking standards for water quality including the reduction and elimination of point source pollutants. As a result, the nation’s waters have, on the whole, improved in water quality. Today, as a result, non-point source pollution, such as stormwater, is one of the leading causes of impairment.
