Economic analysis of restoration practices to improve water quality and fish habitat of a large river floodplain : a case study of the Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Seedang, Saichon
Abstract:: In- stream water temperature is one of the most important environmental factors associated with the decline in salmonid populations and their habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Most ecological restoration practices that attempt to reduce instream temperatures center on replanting or reestablishing riparian vegetation and increasing flows. However, in a large...

Interactive Genetic Algorithms for watershed planning : an investigation of usability and human-centered design

Creator:: Piemonti, Adriana Debora
Abstract:: Degradation of watersheds is a major concern in areas where adverse climate effects and unsustainable use of the natural resources have caused extensive stresses to watershed systems (e.g., increased floods, increased droughts, worsened in-stream water quality) through the years. While considerable efforts are being made to generate technical solutions that...

The influence of climate change and restoration on stream temperature

Creator:: Diabat, Mousa
Abstract:: Water temperature is an essential property of a stream. Temperature regulates physical and biochemical processes in aquatic habitats. Various factors related to climatic conditions, landscape characteristics, and channel structure directly influence stream temperature. Numerous studies indicate that increased average air temperature during the past century has led to stream warming...

Addressing the future of water in Oregon : a look at the human and institutional factors shaping Oregon water management

Creator:: Wolters, Erika Allen
Abstract:: Oregon is a state with great social and ecological diversity. Unfortunately however, Oregon's water-rich reputation is more rumor than reality. As with many Western states, Oregon struggles with water scarcity, especially during dry summer months. Recent efforts by the state to develop an integrated water resource strategy (IWRS) to manage...

Contaminated communities : actively involved citizens, technical assistance, and the cleanup process

Creator:: Gaines, Lisa J.
Abstract:: In what is called participatory democracy scholars and practitioners have been calling for the involvement of citizens in decisions that affect their lives. Citizens who emerge to participate in technically complex, decision-making processes find that their involvement is often minimized, disregarded, or neglected due to barriers such as specialized scientific...

Sustainable Management of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: From Traditional to Integrated Hydro-Irrigation-Restoration Systems

Creator:: Fernandez-Guajardo, Patricia T.
Abstract:: A growing number of scholars and policymakers are advocating for the integrated management of water, energy, and food production. The integrated water-energy-food (WEF) nexus approach suggests that systems able to capture and effectively deal with the interdependencies of such coupled systems are more likely to yield long-term sustainable outcomes. In...

Surface Water and Groundwater Interactions in the Walla Walla River, Northeast Oregon, USA : A Multi-Method Field-Based Approach

Creator:: Gryczkowski, Landon
Abstract:: Surface water and groundwater interactions are a key component in the functioning of stream ecosystems. Exchange of water between the stream and the hyporheic zone creates habitat for aquatic organisms and serves as a control for stream biogeochemical, thermal, and flow processes. This study takes a multi-method field-based approach to...
