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...

Feasibility of Thermal Restoration by Groundwater Additions in the Middle Fork John Day

Creator:: Hale, Abigail E.
Abstract:: Survival of ecological systems pivot on critical moments. In the arid John Day Basin of Eastern Oregon, extensive restoration of the stream and floodplain focused on supporting salmon has been ongoing for the past 20 years, but recurring short periods of extreme temperature increase and low flows result in mortality...

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...

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...

Enhancing social-ecological resilience in the Colorado River Basin

Creator:: Eidem, Nathan T.
Abstract:: This research presents the Colorado River basin as a social-ecological system. Utilizing event data on cooperative and conflictive interactions over fresh water, the system is decomposed to look for evidence of outcomes of resilience enhancement. The Animas-La Plata Project in the upper San Juan basin is presented as a case...

Experimental study of impulse turbines and permanent magnet alternators for pico-hydropower generation

Creator:: Cobb, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Increasing access to modern forms of energy in developing countries is a crucial component to eliminating extreme poverty around the world. Pico-hydro schemes (less than 5-kW range) can provide environmentally sustainable electricity and mechanical power to rural communities, generally more cost-effectively than diesel/gasoline generators, wind turbines, or solar photovoltaic systems....

Hydraulic characterization and modeling of the Talking Water Garden wetland for evaluation of nitrogen removal

Creator:: Huang, Tao
Abstract:: The purpose of this research is to hydraulically characterize an engineered wetland in Albany, Oregon. The wetland receives treated wastewater from both Albany Millersburg Water Reclamation Facility (AMWRF) and ATI Wah Chang. AMWRF's water is municipal waste water. ATI Wah Chang's water comes from its nearby metal processing plant. The...

Headwater stream characterization : an energy and physical approach to stream temperature using distributed temperature sensing

Creator:: Roth, Travis R.
Abstract:: Headwater streams are an integral part of the ecological health of the greater stream network as they provide valuable biological habitat, provide upwards to 95% of total in channel flow, while providing downstream reaches with important constituents such as sediment and woody debris. Small headwater streams are particularly susceptible to...

Assessment of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System- Potential Impact on Water Quality

Creator:: Chavan, Padmaja Ramesh
Abstract:: Watershed analysis is a method used to collectively characterize ecosystem elements present within a watershed. Wastewater flow and pollutant content help to define the appropriate wastewater treatment system necessary to treat the wastewater within the watershed. Watershed monitoring aids to investigate the potential contamination through analysis of surface waterbodies. Major...

The role of bedrock groundwater in rainfall-runoff response at hillslope and catchment scales

Creator:: Gabrielli, Christopher P.
Abstract:: Bedrock groundwater dynamics in headwater catchments are poorly understood and poorly characterized. Direct hydrometric measurements have been limited due to the logistical challenges associated with drilling through hard rock in steep, remote and often roadless terrain. Here we develop and use an inexpensive, portable bedrock drilling system to explore bedrock...
