	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Great Basin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Great Basin is a large, arid region of the western United States, commonly defined as the contiguous watershed region, roughly between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, that has no natural outlet to the sea.
		The Great Basin is not a single basin, but rather a series of contiguous watersheds, bounded on the west by watersheds of the Sacramento-San Joaquin and Klamath rivers, on the north by the watershed of the Columbia-Snake, and on the south and east by the watershed of the Colorado-Green.
		Additionally the Great Basin contains two large expansive playas that are the lakebed remnants of prehistoric lakes that existed in the basin during the last ice age but have since largely dried up.

	Great Basin National Park Information Page
		Great Basin is a hydrologic region where all precipitation, whether in the form of rain or snowmelt, that occurs in the region stays in the basin where it either evaporates or filters down into underground aquifers never reaching the ocean.
		Great Basin National Park is one of the newest national parks in the U.S. Great Basin was set aside on 27 Oct 1986 by President Ronald Regan.
		Great Basin National Park will be monitoring the areas in which cattle are no longer grazing to try and understand the changes in the vegetation and the watershed that will ensue.

	Edisto River Basin Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In 1996, the task force and its 15 committees (nearly 200 basin citizens) concluded an extensive resource assessment and planning process that recognized the significance of the Edisto River Basin and the importance of sustaining the area's natural and cultural heritage for the benefit of the local community and economy.
		The Edisto River Basin is one of the few remaining flwater stream ecosystems in the United States that is in good condition; the basin sustains a diverse rural landscape and economy; and the people living in the basin have strong ties to the land and small town communities.
		The basin should be managed as an important natural and cultural resource area for present and future generations, where the local economy is enhanced for the needs of local citizens and development proceeds in a way that respects and preserves the natural and cultural character of the area.

	dewanew - River Basin Information Systems Initiative
		A water basin is a natural unit for both land and water management, as most of the interactions and impacts of land and water use are restricted to within basin boundaries.
		Land and water use in one part of a water basin can impact on other parts of the basin, but generally not outside the basin.
		Because of the great significance of non-point source pollution, understanding the role of catchments of various sizes and degrees and kinds of human use becomes crucial (Costanza and Greer, 1995)."

	List of messages of the River Basin
		River basin management and its twin concept, IWRM is as varied as the socio-cultural and economic environment, the level of basin degradation, acceptance of water sector reforms propelled by Dublin principles and in the case of transboundary basins and the political will to be subject to a regional power or governance (supranationality).
		River basin management is generally understood to imply the management of water and freshwater ecosystems as well as other the associated land resources.
		For the water management in large river basin, we have to resolve the paradox between 'integrated management' at large level of decision and 'local management' at small level of decision, because the large decisions are taken to be applied by individual (i.e.

		The governors of the Great Lakes states and Ontario officials have agreed to all but ban pumping water out of the Great Lakes basin, home to a fifth of the world's fresh water, a resource expected to grow more precious in coming decades.
		Among the communities whose counties are split by the basin are Lowell, Ind., and Milwaukee suburb Waukesha, Wis. Communities such as New Berlin, Wis., and Ft. Wayne, Ind., are directly bisected by the basin.
		In Illinois, where the largest diversion of Great Lakes water occurs, the basin's rim follows a rise in the ground closely hugging the Lake Michigan shore from the Wisconsin border to Northwest Indiana.

		With current demand for Colorado River water nearly at the river's historical annual flow of 13.5 million-acre feet (MAF) and rising, and government-sponsored scientists anticipating average annual flows to decline 18 percent by 2040, the prospect of ongoing low water conditions for Colorado River reservoirs is a near certainty.

	Pacific Rivers Council - River conservation, restoration and protection
		Once a species is listed as threatened or endangered, the ESA requires that federal agencies further the conservation of the species and ensure that their own activities are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of such species or destroy or adversely modify their critical habitat (e.g., filling in California red-legged frog breeding ponds).
		A species is placed on the Endangered Species List either through direct action by a federal wildlife agency (the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the case of amphibians) or via a petition process.
		After receiving a petition, the Fish and Wildlife Service has one year to determine if the species is eligible for listing, then either places it directly on the Endangered Species List or on the Candidate List for future listing.

		Vickers estimates that the surrounding region of the Amazon basin in Ecuador at one time contained twenty-six distinctive native cultural groups but, as of 1984, there were perhaps fifty thousand Indians remaining in seven surviving groups.
