Doug Haith and his wife Ellie came to the area nearly forty years
ago for Doug to do graduate work at Cornell. They stayed, and with
their two sons and several dogs have swum, hiked, camped and fished
much of Cayuga Lake and its watershed. They now spend a lot of time
in the Ovid area of Seneca County, which Doug has come to appreciate
for its great bicycling, fishing and sailing. Ellie loves the area
for its dog walking options and farm produce. Doug teaches Environmental
Engineering at Cornell, specializing in courses in Solid Waste Management
and Environmental Systems. He has spent many years doing research
on water resources problems and was the developer of the Generalized
Watershed Loading Functions (GWLF) watershed model which has been
used in many watersheds to study water quality problems produced
by sediment and nutrients. Doug has recently directed his efforts
to water pollution and health hazards from pesticide use on lawns
and golf courses. Doug has held positions as hydraulic engineer,
project manager and senior engineer in several consulting firms,
and has authored or co-authored 4 books, including textbooks on
environmental and water resource systems analysis published by John
Wiley & Sons and Prentice Hall. He was awarded the American
Society of Civil Engineers’ Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering
Research Prize (1981) and the Wesley W. Horner Award (1988) for
his research in environmental engineering. He also received the
New York Association of Conservation District's Special Service
Award in 1990.
