Creator:: Viducich, Jonathan M. G.
Abstract:: Rainfall scarcity and variability present serious challenges to water security for many rural communities throughout the world's drylands. Sand dams--weirs built across ephemeral or seasonal rivers--provide an appropriate water harvesting and storage option for many regions. The structures quickly fill with sediment during rainy season flow events and store water...

Creator:: Atkinson, Sheridan William
Abstract:: A series of log storage experiments were conducted to determine whether leachates derived from water storage of logs are acutely toxic to fish. Log segments approximately 18 inches long and 16 inches in diameter were stored in tanks and held submerged for a period of 7 days. The holding water...

Creator:: Alnahit, Ali
Abstract:: This thesis presents an analytical, experimental and numerical study of the initiation of flows in a siphon for rapid and gradual openings of a downstream valve. Three initial water levels in the upstream tank and four final positions for the downstream valve were investigated. Two opening times of the downstream...

Creator:: Newbern, David Wendel
Abstract:: A survey of federal and state agencies was conducted to determine the future need for water-quality data. This survey was used as the basis for constructing a water-quality data aquisition system applicable to any river basin. This study outlines the major components of an automatic water-quality monitoring system. Seventy-one sites...

Creator:: Woody, Jen
Abstract:: An ASR metric and site rating index applied to over 120 municipal and agricultural locations across Oregon, combined with comparison to case study data from existing ASR sites, indicate that more than 50% of selected sites are hydrogeologically suitable for ASR. The ASR metric is a ratio of aquifer storage...

Creator:: Tanner, Andrew M.
Abstract:: With too many demands placed on too little water, the Klamath Basin and itsresidents - human and otherwise - are in dire need. There exists a significant opportunityfor mitigation in the purposeful conversion of seasonal wetlands to permanent wetlandsmanaged to increase baseline water storage levels in the Upper Basin. A...

Creator:: Busse, Katherine M.
Abstract:: This report is organized into four chapters that provide background on watershed topics, GIS applications, and methodology related to development of the TBNEP Watershed Information System. The need for this product is established in Chapter two. First, the role of ecosystem management and the Tillamook Bay watershed is presented before...
