  • 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...

  • Understanding Aquifer Water Retention Dynamics Using Groundwater Head Relaxation Time

    Creator:
    Jimmie, Jordan A.
    Abstract:
    Diking and channelizing in the Toppenish Creek basin, associated with irrigated agricultural development, has altered its natural ecosystem function and hydraulic processes. We seek to answer two research questions: if surface waters are diverted for aquifer recharge in the winter, will this water be available for ecosystem function in the...

  • Using Recession Analysis to Characterize Watershed Responses to Drought

    Creator:
    Jachens, Elizabeth R.
    Abstract:
    In the face of climate change droughts are predicted to become more persistent, further intensifying the need for accurately predicting the timing and magnitude of summer streamflow in rivers. In order to determine the sensitivity of a watershed to drought, there is a need to describe what these drought conditions...
