An investigation and analysis of the incentives and disincentives for conflict prevention and mitigation in the Bureau of Reclamation's water management

Creator:: Ogren, Kimberly
Abstract:: This study addresses the question: "What are the incentives and disincentives for conflict prevention and mitigation in the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and how do they factor into Reclamation's management of water in the western United States?" Incentives and disincentives for conflict prevention (i.e., actions taken to avoid conflict) and...

Streamwater Microbial Communities as Hydrologic Observation: Insights Gained from Investigation of a Novel Dataset

Creator:: URycki, Dawn R.
Abstract:: Interactions and feedbacks among climate change effects and continued human impacts will exacerbate impacts to water resources in complex ways. An urgent imperative of the hydrologic community is to understand the response of hydrologic systems to these perturbations, thus contributing to long-term sustainability of water resources in an uncertain future....

Assessing the Link Between Large Wood Restoration and Groundwater Recharge and Storage: An Investigation of Indian Creek in Washington State

Creator:: Boylan, Nora C.
Abstract:: With decreasing snowpacks and changing precipitation patterns, Washington State seeks ways to conserve, protect, and enhance its water supply. Stream restoration has been viewed as a means to utilize alluvial aquifers for groundwater storage and augment late-season streamflow. However, the relationship between stream restoration and groundwater dynamics is still under...

Forensic Hydrogeography : Assessing Groundwater Arsenic Concentrations and Testing Methods within the Harney Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Smitherman, Lauren L.
Abstract:: Harney County contains defining characteristics of regions containing arsenic within the groundwater such as its location in the western United States, unique closed basin geography, complex geology, and seasonal groundwater level fluctuations. Confirmation of arsenic concentrations above the Maximum Contaminant Level Drinking Water Standard of 10 μg/L has been observed...

Investments in people and technology : public participation in the remediation of Dian Lake in Yunnan, China

Creator:: Carson, Andrea L.
Abstract:: From the 1960s to 1990s, the water quality of Dian Lake (滇池), China's sixth largest freshwater lake located outside the capital of Yunnan Province, Kunming City, rapidly declined causing livelihood disruption, decreased water availability, and biodiversity loss. Despite significant investments in remediation efforts, only small water quality improvements have been...

Relationships between stream discharge and cutthroat trout abundance at multiple scales in managed headwater basins of western Oregon

Creator:: Owens, Hazel L.
Abstract:: Relationships between resident cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) and six hydrologic indices were investigated using correlation analysis in two experimental headwater catchments in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon. This investigation was to determine if characteristics of discharge explained inter-annual variability in trout abundance. Eight years of...

Water and sanitation access barriers in Corvallis, Oregon homeless populations

Creator:: Voisinet, Ashley M.
Abstract:: Despite being internationally recognized as basic human rights, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) insecurity continues to exist throughout the United States, particularly among low-income and unhoused portions of the population. Previous investigations into the intersection of WASH and people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in the US have primarily taken place in...

Acceptability of market-based approaches to water management : an analysis of the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program

Creator:: Lieberherr, Eva K.
Abstract:: Growing urbanization, shifting water uses, and a focus on ecosystem health in the Deschutes River Basin in Central Oregon led to experimentation with new voluntary market-based approaches to water management in the last decade. To meet groundwater demands while maintaining instream flows and upholding prior water allocations, the Oregon Water...
