Implementing best management practices in small commercial and non-commercial animal enterprises

Creator:

Godwin, Derek C.

Abstract:

Small commercial and non-commercial animal enterprises (SCAEs) raise a few beef cows, horses, pigs, sheep, poultry, and other animals on a few acres. These enterprises are often located in suburban areas of watersheds and show potential for degrading water quality through to increased bacterial, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentrations. SCAEs implement...

Characterizing hydraulics and water distribution of furrow irrigation in northeast Malheur County

Creator:

Mittelstadt, Robert

Abstract:

Furrow irrigation is the dominant practice for irrigating row crops in the western Treasure Valley region near Ontario, Oregon. Though improvements have been made in management practices over the years, excessive runoff and deep percolation are still important problems contributing to surface water and groundwater degradation. Field observations were made...

Masters Thesis
Simulation of vegetation and hydrology for climate change analysis of a mountain watershed

Creator:

Waichler, Scott R.

Abstract:

Climate change is expected to have both direct and indirect effects on water resources. Hydrologic impacts of two indirect effects, vegetation density and stomata! conductance, are evaluated for the American River, a 200 km² watershed in the Cascade Range of Washington state. First, a set of distributed hydrology-biogeochemistry model structures...
