  • Leveraging the Food-Energy-Water Nexus for Planet Resilience

    Creator:
    Steadman, Casey L.
    Abstract:
    We have sufficient evidence that our historical management of natural resources is not sustainable. Food production is stagnating or declining. Nonrenewable energy sources on which the energy sector has historically depended are being rapidly depleted. Water resources, for which the energy and food sectors compete, are being depleted and impaired....

  • Alder Creek Culvert Replacement and Fish Passage

    Creator:
    Alagaidi, Nuha
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this project are to 1) evaluate the fish passage for Lamprey at the Alder Creek, Corvallis, OR using HEC-RAS, and 2) develop a worksheet for the scour analysis if the culvert is removed. Fish passage criteria from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife were applied to determine...

  • Streamwater Microbial Communities as Hydrologic Observation: Insights Gained from Investigation of a Novel Dataset

    Creator:
    URycki, Dawn R.
    Abstract:
    Interactions and feedbacks among climate change effects and continued human impacts will exacerbate impacts to water resources in complex ways. An urgent imperative of the hydrologic community is to understand the response of hydrologic systems to these perturbations, thus contributing to long-term sustainability of water resources in an uncertain future....

  • Feasibility of Thermal Restoration by Groundwater Additions in the Middle Fork John Day

    Creator:
    Hale, Abigail E.
    Abstract:
    Survival of ecological systems pivot on critical moments. In the arid John Day Basin of Eastern Oregon, extensive restoration of the stream and floodplain focused on supporting salmon has been ongoing for the past 20 years, but recurring short periods of extreme temperature increase and low flows result in mortality...

  • Africa-Appropriate Urban Stormwater Management: The State of the Art

    Creator:
    Kahsai, Simon K.
    Abstract:
    Urban development causes changes in the hydrology, increasing stormwater runoff volumes, which often leads to flooding and ecosystem degradation. This is a common phenomenon in most urban Africa, due to lack of stormwater drainage infrastructures. Green Infrastructure (GI) has been shown to be an effective approach to lessen the effects...

  • Microbial fuel cell for wastewater treatment : heavy metal removal, sewage sludge treatment, and its potential application in wastewater reuse in irrigation

    Creator:
    Abourached, Carole
    Abstract:
    While water scarcity and energy demand are continuously increasing in the world, alternative sources are needed to meet the requirement of a growing population. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a sustainable technology that converts organic matter in wastewater into electricity, thus it can be a potential alternative source for water...
