Water resources data for the 1994 water year for Idaho consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; discharge of irrigation diversions; and water levels and water quality of groundwater. The two volumes of this report contain discharge records for 191 stream-gaging stations and 36 irrigation diversions; stage only records for 4 stream-gaging stations; stage only for 9 lakes and reservoirs; contents only for 23 lakes and reservoirs; water-quality for 67 stream-gaging stations, 444 wells, and 6 lakes sites; daily totals for 1 precipitation gage; and water levels for 553 observation wells. Additional water data were collected at various sites not involved in the systematic data collection program and are published as miscellaneous measurements.
Abstract The European Union has a long‐term objective to achieve healthy soils by 2050. The European Commission has proposed a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on Soil Monitoring and Resilience (Soil Monitoring Law, SML), the first stage of which is to focus on setting up a soil monitoring framework and assessing soils throughout the EU. Situated in NW Europe, the UK has substantial experience in soil monitoring over the last half century which may usefully contribute to this wider EU effort. A set of overarching principles have and continue to guide design of national soil monitoring and may prove helpful as other European countries embark on similar monitoring programmes. Therefore, we present the principles of design from five decades of national soil monitoring. The monitoring discussed is based on a stratified‐random design, has matured in support of policy questions, and operates over space and time scales relevant to the SML. The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) Countryside Surveys (CS) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Welsh Government, Environment and Rural Affairs Monitoring and Modelling Programme (ERAMMP) and the England Ecosystem Survey (EES) monitoring programme are national programmes currently operating in the UK. Some important lessons learnt include: adopting a question‐based approach; having a clear robust statistical design for the purpose; selecting indicators that address policy and underlying scientific questions; and selecting indicators that can detect change and use robust and well‐tested methodologies across a wide range of soil and land use types, remaining valid over long time scales, supporting thinking long‐term. Technical lessons learned include the proven cost effectiveness of a stratified‐random design including replication, while adopting a common stratification layer of stable environmental attributes aids comparability between monitoring programmes. Common protocols are vital for future intercomparisons, but a full ecosystem approach that includes co‐located soil and vegetation samples for interpreting a co‐evolving system has proved hugely advantageous. UK monitoring programmes offer a range of experience that may prove valuable to future soil monitoring design to address the major societal challenges of our time, such as maintaining food production and addressing climate change and biodiversity loss.
Niniejszy dokument policy brief (D4.1) został opracowany w ramach projektu Horyzont Europa PLAN-B (Umowa grantowa nr 101135308) we współpracy z projektem AquaPLAN (Umowa grantowa nr 101135471). Dokument ten dostarcza strategicznych wskazówek dla Unii Europejskiej w zakresie podejmowania działań przeciwdziałających zanieczyszczeniu światłem sztucznym, uznając jego niekorzystny wpływ na środowisko, ujednolicając wysiłki i zapewniając ramy dla skoordynowanych działań krajowych, a także promując regulacje i zarządzanie sztucznym światłem w nocy (ALAN) oparte na dowodach naukowych. Aby wesprzeć działania polityczne mające na celu redukcję zanieczyszczenia światłem, zachęca się osoby prywatne do podpisania formularza poparcia, natomiast organizacje mogą poprzeć inicjatywę, podpisując list poparcia, który na żądanie można uzyskać od osób kontaktowych wymienionych w dokumencie informacyjnym dotyczącym polityki.
