Exploring Vulnerability and Scarcity of Groundwater Resources in Quintana Roo, Mexico

Creator:: Iglesias Thome, Maria Jose
Abstract:: This study examined water scarcity and vulnerability in Quintana Roo, along the northern Caribbean coast of Mexico where rapid growth of tourism in the past 40 years has limited the ability of rural and urban communities to obtain safe, reliable, and equitable access to water services and critical water infrastructure...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Evaluation of Serratia Ureilytica as a Greener Unsealed Road Stabilization Method

Creator:: Portugal, Carla Ribeiro Machado e
Abstract:: Covering half of South America, Brazil is one of the largest agricultural and commercial forest producers globally, with a correspondingly complex road network necessary to support the production and marketing processes of such goods. Contrary to global statistics, almost 90% of the country’s road network is classified as unsealed or...

The Effects of Biofilm on Sandy Soil Hydrology

Creator:: Runion, Danielle N.
Abstract:: It is known that soil biota affects water dynamics through various complex mechanisms. The impact on retention by soil biota are due to a combination of changes to pore geometry, pore clogging by biofilms, biofilms that serve to connect thin water films across many pores as the soil dries, and...

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 Since the late 1800s, the City of Walla Walla has withdrawn water from Mill Creek for municipal use.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,...

A Spatiotemporal Characterization of Water Resource Conditions and Demands for the Wilcox Groundwater Basin, Southeastern Arizona

Creator:: Job, Carl
Abstract:: Groundwater overdraft in the Wilcox Groundwater Basin, as a consequence of increasing rates of agricultural groundwater withdrawal, has led to significant regional groundwater level decline and threatens to undermine the basin’s long-term water resource security. Updated characterization of the basin’s water resource conditions and agricultural water demand is critically important...

Quantifying the Geomorphic Response of Stage 0 Stream Restoration: A Pilot Project on Whychus Creek

Creator:: Scagliotti, Alex
Abstract:: It is generally accepted in stream ecology that habitat heterogeneity and patchiness at multiple scales increases ecosystem resilience through niche diversification. Heterogeneous stream habitats include a complex mosaic of hydraulic features, large woody debris, anabranches, substrata and channel forms - this complexity tends to increase as streams progress towards later...

What are the Roles of International Water Organizations in Climate Change Adaptation?

Creator:: Adkhamov, Utkir
Abstract:: Water and climate change are interconnected with each other. Water is a medium through which the climate change manifests its far-reaching consequences on society. Sustainable water management practices are fundamental in implementing effective climate change adaptation. Given an influential position as global water actors, international water organizations (IWOs) play a...

Cathode development and reactor design for scaling-up microbial fuel cells

Creator:: Janicek, Anthony M.
Abstract:: Developing new wastewater treatment technologies which will off-set the high-energy cost associated with treatment is necessary to maintain both water and energy security. Microbial fuel cell technology represents one such option. However, there are still many obstacles to overcome before practical application of this technology can be realized. Improving cathode...

Entrepreneur Well-Being and Organizational Decision Making Biases

Creator:: Kozlak, Scott
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays that provide comprehensive insights into the complex dynamics shaping entrepreneurial and organizational outcomes. In the first essay I incorporate the Biophilia Hypothesis and the Challenge Hindrance Stressor framework to study entrepreneurial creativity. The findings emphasize the importance of more frequent nature visits for entrepreneurs...
