Answer:

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING

The physical, chemical, hydrological, and ecological characteristics of an area are considered to compose its environmental setting (Stark and others, 1996). In a study unit as large and diverse as the YRB, strong contrasts among these characteristics exist. The water-quality characteristics of the study unit are expected to similarly be diverse and to reflect the environmental contrasts among the areas of water sources and those areas through which the water moves before exiting the YRB. This description of the environmental setting is not exhaustive, but concentrates on the factors believed to influence water quality and aquatic ecology in this study unit.

Both natural and anthropogenic factors affecting water quality are described. Natural factors discussed in this report are those which generally control water-quality characteristics in the absence of human activity. Although water and land use practices sometimes overshadow natural factors, understanding the natural diversity of the YRB is believed to be important in understanding its water-quality conditions. Natural factors include physiography, climate, geology, vegetation, and hydrology. Anthropogenic factors, including population, land cover and land use, water use, and waste disposal, are described following the natural factors.
