The combination of its depth, low ratio of watersheds to lake surface area, and its granite rock geology has lead to the creation of a low fertile and high transparent monomictic lake. Its also unique in that it doesn’t fully mix from top to bottom every year, lake many other lakes (Swift et al.,…

found to be suitable for this purpose (Arnold et al., 1998; Arnold and Fohrer, 2005). Although this model has been widely used in regional scale, this research will also try to identify the compatibility of using SWAT model in a small scale urban watershed. Two main components of my research are ‘hydrology’ and ‘land use change’. A study area near Indiana University (IU) Golf Course has been selected to conduct the research. A new health center is going to be constructed near IU golf driving…

Instead he proposed irrigation systems fed by a multitude of small dams and state borders based on watershed areas. Powell foresaw that irrigation issues would be a pressing issue in the west, therefore he…
