Standing in the Way of Control : Small Farmers, Water Use, and Technology Adoption in Oregon

Creator:: Hepperly, Jody R.
Abstract:: In recent years, several interrelated forces—prolonged drought, growing populations, height-ened environmental protections, sustained agricultural use, and hydrologic alterations due to climate change—have increased pressure on water users in the Western United States, where the agricultural sector accounts for up to 90% of total water withdrawals. Technology im-provements developed since the...

Flow From Flexibility : Identifying Opportunities For Streamflow Restoration in a Transboundary Municipal Watershed Through Water Budgeting

Creator:: Pierson, Jessica S.
Abstract:: Municipal watersheds attempt to balance growing and conflicting demands for water for human use and for ecosystems. The Mill Creek basin, a 295 km2 basin in southeast Washington, exemplifies these conflicts. Since the late 1800s, the City of Walla Walla has withdrawn water from Mill Creek for municipal use. However,...

Modeling the impact of logging debris on the dissolved oxygen balance of small mountain streams

Creator:: Berry, John David
Abstract:: Previous research has indicated that considerable amounts of finely divided slash accumulate in small mountain streams following timber harvesting. The subsequent biological decomposition of this organic matter can result i.n the reduction of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration to levels as low as 0.6 ppm. These DO levels are lethal to...

An analysis of water resource conflict and cooperation in Oregon between 1990 and 2004

Creator:: Fesler, Kristel J.
Abstract:: This research provides details of water resource conflict and cooperation in Oregon between 1990 and 2004 by using an event database methodology. Events were concentrated in four of 18 basins. No basin accounted for more that 25% of the total water rights events, the most evenly distributed issue type. Overall...

Bridge over troubled water : partnerships and the prospect of adaptive capacity among small Oregon coast water systems

Creator:: Dennis, Lauren Marie
Abstract:: The Oregon Coast's small water systems, like the vast number of small water systems across the U.S., are greatly vulnerable. Failing infrastructure, limited financial capital, and inadequate staff combined with future changes in climate, population size, and regulatory stringency spell out a potentially dire future for the region's water supply...

After the rain: urban runoff

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service and Dodrill, Steve.
Abstract:: This program explains that urban water pollution comes from a number of common sources, such as automobiles, lawn and garden fertilizer, and pet waste, and explores ways in which citizens can minimize their contribution to such pollution.

Controlling water temperatures with buffer strips

Creator:: Brazier, Jon Roger
Abstract:: Buffer strips have been proposed as a method for controlling temperature changes in streams adjacent to clear-cuttings. Nine small mountain streams in Oregon's Coast Range and Cascade Mountains were studied to determine the influence of buffer strips on water temperature. Timber volume in the strip, strip width, and canopy density...

Best management practices and water quality demonstration and evaluation project : five-county North Central Oregon area, October 1977 to April 1981

Creator:: George, Gerald O.
Abstract:: The purpose of the project was to demonstrate, evaluate, and quantify the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMP's) adopted in 1978 (2) by Gilliam, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, and Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD's), Oregon (Map 1). These demonstrations and evaluations were designed to reduce landowner uncertainties concerning...

Analysis of streamflow variability in Oregon for regional water quality monitoring programs

Creator:: Saligoe-Simmel, Julia L.
Abstract:: Streamflow variability can provide valuable information for nonpoint source pollution monitoring program planning. The research papers presented in this thesis examine selected properties of streamflow variability in Oregon to advance its application in regional planning of water quality monitoring programs. The products of this research depict Oregon streams by their...
