Impact of artificial flooding on farm profits and streamflow in Echo Meadows, Oregon

Creator:: Seely, Harold E.
Abstract:: Competition for water both from within the irrigation community and from outside interests has been a major source of conflict in the West. In the Umatilla Basin of central Oregon, Umatilla River water is diverted to irrigate a variety of crops, while instream flows have value in salmonid production. Historically,...

Development and evaluation of multiple criteria decision-making approaches to watershed management

Creator:: Lamy, France
Abstract:: Decision-making in environmental management is complex due to the multiplicity arid diversity of management objectives and technological choices. This suggests that modelers and experts could utilize (I) multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches to assist stakeholder groups in integrating and synthesizing relevant data and information to address ecological and socio-economic concerns and...

The development and analysis of future agricultural landscapes

Creator:: Berger, Patricia A.
Abstract:: Alternative futures studies provide a way for policy-makers and stakeholders to investigate the future impacts of different management strategies by providing representations of possible outcomes. An alternative futures study was undertaken by the Pacific Northwest-Ecosystem Research Consortium for the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, USA, to determine how this regional system...

Estimated plant water use and crop coefficients for drip-irrigated hybrid polars

Creator:: Gochis, David J.
Abstract:: Estimations of plant water use can provide great assistance to growers, irrigators, engineers and water resource planners. This is especially true concerning the introduction of a new crop into irrigated agriculture. Growing hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock and veneer production under agronomic practices is currently being explored as...

Evaluation of techniques for on-farm monitoring of percolation and irrigation system performance

Creator:: Louie, Michael J.
Abstract:: Efficient use of water in agricultural production involves accurate assessment and control of the quantity and spatial uniformity of excess percolation. Passive Capillary Samplers (PCAPS), which sample water from the vadose zone have shown potential to provide superior estimates of soil water flux compared to alternative methods. In a four-year...

Treatment of dairy wastewater in a constructed wetland system : evapotranspiration, hydrology, hydraulics, treatment performance, and nitrogen cycling processes

Creator:: Niswander, Steven Francis
Abstract:: Five unique but related studies were conducted at the Oregon State University Dairy Wetland Treatment System (OSUDWTS), Corvallis, OR. The research site consisted of six parallel wetland cells, which were built in 1992 and began receiving concentrated dairy wastewater in the fall of 1993. Hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality data...

Evaluation of physical and thermal methods to support nonlinear cost optimization models of surimi seafood

Creator:: Hsü, Cheng-kuang
Abstract:: Optimization programming techniques were applied to develop the least cost formulations for Pacific whiting surimi-based seafood (PWSBS). To develop the quality constraint functions, texture and color of whiting surimi gels were determined by torsion test and colorimeter, respectively. Whiting surimi gels were produced by heating at 90°C for 15 min....

Nitrate and pesticide transport under pear production in clay and sandy soil

Creator:: Cao, Weidong
Abstract:: Groundwater contamination on irrigated land is of concern in this nation and around the world. In order to reduce the potential of groundwater contamination by agricultural practices such as irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide application, vadose-zone monitoring and sampling are needed. The main objective of this study was to evaluate impacts...

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...
