Using a Geographic Information System to identify and reduce uncertainty in hydroelectric-site inventories

Creator:: Ellison, Bradley A.
Abstract:: Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies. This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with respect...

Selected environmental concerns for small hydroelectric development in Oregon

Creator:: Kelly, Judy A.
Abstract:: Small hydroelectric development, the construction or reconstruction of small scale hydropower systems, has become a much discussed alternative for the future supply of U.S. energy. In the Pacific Northwest, the greatest potential for small hydro application is in the development of new dam sites. Although much is known about the...

Factors affecting the use of soil conservation practices: an analysis of farmers in Monroe County, Missouri

Creator:: Ervin, Christine A.
Abstract:: Literature exploring the use of soil conservation practices has generaly lacked a theoretical framework. This study proposes a decision-making model comprised of physical, personal, economic, and institutional factors. Data from Monroe County, Missouri, are used to test the hypothesized relationships of explanatory variables to variations in nurnber of practices used...

Causes and sources of water quality impairment in the Upper Chehalis River, Washington

Creator:: Harper, A. Craig
Abstract:: Water quality problems have been identified in the Chehalis River in the vicinity of Centralia and Chehalis since the 1960's. In 1992, the Washington State Department of Ecology listed four Chehalis River segments, three segments of the Newaukum River, two segments of the Wynoochee River, and three other tributaries -...

The evolution between 1935 and 1965 of federal legislation to control water pollution and its relationship to water quality regulation in the Lower Columbia river

Creator:: Updegraff, Nancy A.
Abstract:: This study traces the evolution of federal legislation to control water pollution in the period between 1935 and 1965. In this legislative history, the function of interest groups, the actions of congressmen and congressional committees, and the role of the President and the Executive Branch are reviewed. The water pollution...

Areawide Water Quality Management: a case study

Creator:: Brown, Gregory Frank
Abstract:: With our present pressing need to clean up our Nation'a waterways there has developed a shift from water resource development to water quality management. This shift was manifested in 1972 when Congress created Areawide Water Quality Management in Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments. Section 208...

Cooperation and conflict in a fereral-municipal watershed : a case study of Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Wilson, Roy R.
Abstract:: Increasing demand for exploitation of natural resources in federal-municipal watersheds in the Western United States has caused conflicts involving municipalities, the U.S. Forest Service, and community interest groups. Better understanding of the resource management process is needed to help resolve these conflicts. The objectives of this study were to document...

A study of aquifer protection : the Spokane case

Creator:: Moon, George Edmund Jr
Abstract:: This case study of the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie aquifer, deals with the evolution of water quality protection. A number of institutional efforts on multijurisdictional levels have established a piecemeal approach for this aquifer's protection. Federal legislation includes designation as a 'Sole Source' aquifer under sec. 1424(e) of SDWA, and 1...

Surface-water contaminant routing using a digital stream information system

Creator:: Broad, Tyson Megee
Abstract:: The U.S. Geological Survey is proposing to redesign its site-specific water-use data base into a topologic site-specific water-use data base that depicts water use as an integral part of the hydrologic cycle. The new data base is to be compatible with the theory of geographic information systems. By placing water...

Oregon's critical ground water areas: a case study investigation

Creator:: Hicks, Mark Paul
Abstract:: Oregon's critical ground water area program was designed to protect the integrity of ground water supplies under conditions of sustainable yield. In areas where the demand for water exceeds the rate of natural recharge, wells experience declining water levels. If allowed to continue, this could eventually lead to severe social...
