  • The protection of instream flows in Idaho

    Creator:
    Schellbach, Ruth
    Abstract:
    Instream flow protection in western prior appropriation states is a relatively new phenomenon. Integrating instream flow protection measures with the older water law has been accomplished with varying degrees of success. Idaho relies on appropriation of unappropriated water by the Idaho Water Resource Board for protection of instream flows. Idaho's...

  • Analysis of growth rates of residential land values on and near the regulated flood plain

    Creator:
    Warnick, Larry James
    Abstract:
    Flood plain regulations are one of six major adjustments used to cope with flood hazard in the United States. This adjustment was essentially neglected in the national flood hazard policies until Congress enacted the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The implementation of regulations, as called for in the Act,...

  • River restoration: active vs. passive restoration efforts, Alder Creek example

    Creator:
    Keating, Stephen
    Abstract:
    The practice of river and stream restoration has increased with heightened environmental concerns and awareness. Many of these projects use structural modifications in an attempt to mimic natural landscapes. These structural modifications represent an active approach to river and stream restoration. Active restoration projects are well funded and extensively constructed....

  • An analysis of urban-suburban vs. rural voting on two land use issues in Clackamas County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Martin, Robert Craig
    Abstract:
    When land use issues are voted upon directly by the people, or by the legislators who represent them, the outcome often reveals a discrepancy based on population density. Urban-suburban areas tend to support regulation, while rural areas tend to oppose it. The residents of Clackamas County have voted on two...

  • Patterns of water resource decision-making: minimum stream flows in the Willamette Basin

    Creator:
    Griffith, Glenn Edwin
    Abstract:
    Oregon's minimum stream flow program is intended to protect certain instream flow values by maintaining sufficient stream flows to support aquatic life and to minimize pollution. The increasing demand for consumptive uses of water, as well as certain deficiencies in the laws, policies, and administration of the program, bring into...

  • An analysis of the impact of floodplain regulations on residential land values: the Oak Grove, Oregon case study

    Creator:
    Brainerd, Richmond T.
    Abstract:
    Flood damage mitigation by means of land use regulations, as mandated by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, has been controversial and slow in implementation, in part due to the conjecture that residential land values will be adversely affected in the regulated areas. There has been relatively little research...

  • Origin of the Tucannon phase in Lower Snake River prehistory

    Creator:
    Lucas, Steven W.
    Abstract:
    Approximately 5,500 years ago a discreet period of wetter and cooler environmental conditions prevailed across the southern Columbia Plateau. This period was marked by the first prominent episodes of erosion to occur along the lower Snake River following the height of the Altithermal and eruption of Mt. Mazama during the...

  • Development of a Bone Artifact Typology for the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Lindsay, Lee W.
    Abstract:
    This thesis was to develop a bone artifact typology for the Oregon coast. This typology was used to test the hypothesis that different geographical regions of the Oregon coast would have different artifact assemblages associated with them. These regions, identified by geologist from landform changes, have been defined as: region...

    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to examine the methods and criteria developed for rating actual and potential agricultural land in the United States. It is motivated by the apparent increasing competition for quality space created by the expanding population, and by the belief that land rating and classification are...

  • Thornthwaite's moisture index as a measure of the intensity to which harvested cropland is devoted to corn under natural climatic conditions

    Creator:
    Hall, Robert Newell
    Abstract:
    Moisture has long been identified as one of the major limiting factors in the distribution of agricultural land use practices. However, the importance of any environmental element can only be determined by considering how it is affected by its relationship with other elements of the environment. Thornthwaite's moisture index attempts...
