Temperature and infiltration characterization of a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment

Gregory, Christopher T. (Christopher Thomas) (2010-01-04)

The City of Woodburn, Oregon's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has been investigating several natural alternatives for improving effluent quality. Based on its current National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (N ...
Temporal and spatial variability of groundwater nitrate in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon

Mutti, Jeffrey Glenn (2006-06-26)

Groundwater nitrate contamination is a well-documented issue in the Southern Willamette Valley (SWV) of Oregon, as a Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) has recently been declared. As a GWMA, groundwater nitrate monitor ...
A topography of dams in China : impacts to agriculture, labor, and migration

Foster-Moore, Eric (2011-09-08)

Dams are often promoted as a tool to reduce poverty and spur economic development. Dam construction worldwide, and particularly in China, which has built nearly half the world's large dams since 1949, remains contentious ...
Towards autonomous irrigation : comparison of two moisture sensing technologies, irrigation distribution analysis, and wireless network performance at an ornamental container nursery

Bailey, Daniel R. (Daniel Roger) (2011-12-22)

As ornamental container nurseries face diminishing water allocations, many are looking to automated irrigation solutions to increase their water application efficiency. This thesis presents the findings of a study conduc ...
Trickle-down ecohydrology : complexity of rainfall interception and net precipitation under forest canopies

Allen, Scott T. (Scott Thomas) (2012-06-12)

Rainfall interception is a primary control over the moisture input to a forested ecosystem through the partitioning of precipitation into throughfall, stemflow, and an evaporated component (i.e. the interception loss). ...
Use of MIKE SHE for estimation of evapotranspiration in the Sprague River Basin

Shakya, Suva R. (2008-01-07)

MIKE SHE is a fully distributed, physically-based hydrologic model that can simulate water movement over and under the Earth's surface. Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the components of this model. MIKE SHE uses a mo ...
Water chemistry of Oregon Cascade wilderness lakes : a comparison to 1985 data

Logan, Michael Burke (2010-10-07)

The Western Lake Survey (WLS) of 1985 documented the status of lake water chemistry across the western US and inferred population representations of various subregions and geomorphic units via statistically analyses. Res ...
Western Oregon Cities and Low Impact Development in Stormwater Management: An exploratory study of the barriers cities face and their approaches to stormwater management

Sowles, Marisa (2012-04-19)

Stormwater has traditionally been conveyed off a developed site as quickly as possible, primarily through pipes. This runoff is often stored in large ponds and/or treated in central facilities. As cities grow and develop ...
Will we need to change the rules : assessing the implications of climate change for dam operations in Oregon's McKenzie River Basin

Danner, Allison G. (2013-03-21)

Dams and reservoirs are important components of water resource management systems, but their operational sensitivity to streamflow variability may make them vulnerable to climate change. Climate change is likely to affec ...
Zeolite packed biologically active filter (biofilter) to reduce odorous emissions from a confined swine building

Stoeckinger, Andrew J. (2004-11-30)

A zeolite packed biofilter was retrofitted to a confined swine feeding operation in Eastern Washington, and evaluated for its ability to reduce the malodors from fan exhaust drawn from an internal under-slat manure stora ...
