Development of a hydrologic model to explore impacts of climate change on water resources in the Big Wood Basin, Idaho

Creator:: Inouye, Allison Marshall
Abstract:: In the Western United States where 50-70% of annual precipitation comes in the form of winter snowfall, water supplies may be particularly sensitive to a warming climate. We worked with a network of stakeholders in the Big Wood Basin, Idaho, to explore how climate change may affect water resources and...

Taming the Tumalo : A Damned Dam Repurposed for Recharge

Creator:: Harpham, Kelsey
Abstract:: The Tumalo Project at Tumalo Reservoir in Central Oregon was proclaimed a failure almost as soon as it was completed. As the reservoir filled with water diverted from Tumalo creek in the spring of 1915, sinkholes developed in the reservoir floor and every last drop of captured water disappeared into...

A study of stream temperature using distributed temperature sensing fiber optics technology in Big Boulder Creek, a tributary to the Middle Fork John Day River in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Arik, Aida D.
Abstract:: The Middle Fork John Day Basin in Northeastern Oregon is prime habitat for spring Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout. In 2008, a major tributary supporting rearing habitat, Big Boulder Creek, was restored to its historic mid-valley channel along a 1 km stretch of stream 800 m upstream of the mouth....

The field edge flux paradox

Creator:: Barr, Colleen M.
Abstract:: Precision irrigation has made spatially explicit water management a reality. However, detailed knowledge about the spatially variable evapotranspiration is often unavailable. One example location where we can begin to understand the impact of spatial variability on evapotranspiration is at the field edge, which contains a sharp discontinuity in surface conditions....

Basin-wide distributed modeling of hydrologic responses to irrigation management in the Wood River Basin, Klamath County, OR

Creator:: Owens, Joshua M.
Abstract:: The Wood River Basin lies upstream of Upper Klamath Lake, the main reservoir of the USBR Klamath Irrigation Project that provides irrigation water to 210,000 acres of downstream land. Water allocation became a contentious issue in 2001 when drought led to curtailment of irrigation deliveries to the Klamath Irrigation Project...

Regional Scale Modeling of Climate, Cryosphere, and Freshwater Discharge in Changing Coastal Mountain Environments

Creator:: Beamer, Jordan P.
Abstract:: The glaciated coastal mountain watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) provide a model laboratory to explore the challenges of hydrological modeling and study the impact of climate and glacier cover change on regional hydrology. The region is data-sparse and contains a complex assemblage of topography and land...

Hydrologic and Land Cover Effects on Sources and Fate of In-Stream Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter

Creator:: Lee, Baek Soo P.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a critical component of the carbon cycle linking terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although many factors influence DOM fluxes and quality in rivers, controls on DOM compositions in catchments of the western U.S. are poorly understood. UV and fluorescent spectroscopy is a simpler, faster, and less...

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...

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...
