[1] The agency enforces the state's soil and water conservation laws and coordinates conservation and nonpoint source pollution abatement programs. The Texas State Legislature created the agency in 1939. [2]
The most current soil survey data is made available for high end GIS users such as professional consulting companies and universities. Typical information in a published county soil survey includes the following: [1] a brief overview on how to use the survey; a general soil map for comparing the sustainability of large sections of the county
The plan is to be implemented in conjunction with the states NPS water pollution plan under section 319 of the CWA [43] and through changes in the overall coastal zone management program. [44] If a state does not submit an approved program, the state may lose a percentage of the grant money provided under the CZMA and under section 319 of the ...
GIS can gather multiple layers of information on one single map regarding streets, buildings, soil types, vegetation, and more. [117] Planners can combine or calculate useful information such as impervious area percentage or vegetation coverage status of a specific region to design or analyze the use of green infrastructure.
Texas has the dubious distinction of leading the nation in polluted waterways. A new report draws upon self disclosed data by industrial facilities provided to the EPA. The study counted 17 ...
Soil map from "Geography of Ohio," 1923. A soil map is a geographical representation showing diversity of soil types or soil properties (soil pH, textures, organic matter, depths of horizons etc.) in the area of interest. [1] It is typically the result of a soil survey inventory, i.e. soil survey.
A transect, as used in planning, is a hierarchical scale of environmental zones that define a land area by its character, ranging from rural, preserved land to urban centers. As a planning methodology, the transect is used as a tool for managing growth and sustainability by planning land use around the physical character of the land.
The rows formed slow surface water run-off during rainstorms to prevent soil erosion and allow the water time to infiltrate into the soil. Soil conservation is the prevention of loss of the topmost layer of the soil from erosion or prevention of reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination
