Remote and Ground-based Methods for Monitoring Vegetation Health Parameters in a Bioretention Facility

Creator:: Prettyman, Kery M.
Abstract:: The growing contamination of surface water by stormwater runoff parallels increasing urban development. Heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are discharged from point sources and washed from impervious surfaces into surface waters, impacting the ecology of these systems, food supplies,...

Assessment of Multi-year Hydrologic Performance of Bioretention Facility using Real-Time Sensors

Creator:: Alyousef, Hashim A.
Abstract:: Bioretention facilities are emerging as a popular way to deal with stormwater runoff in urban environments and address its concerns. Real-time sensors installed in bioretention facilities aid in understanding the performance and feasibility of such facilities over time. A bioretention facility in Corvallis, Oregon was monitored for a study period...

Are watershed management plans selected and preferred by stakeholders considering current climate conditions robust against climate change scenarios? A sensitivity study of stakeholders spatially-explicit preferences

Creator:: Cannady-Shultz, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: In the light of the changing climate, the importance of designing effective watershed management plans that are likely to be implemented is becoming ever more important. This research introduces a new concept, consensus, for incorporation into stakeholder-guided interactive optimization of watershed management plans. User preferences were mathematically simulated based upon...

Multiobjective Optimization of Wetlands for Attaining Flood, Water Quality and Bird Habitat Benefits

Creator:: Noa-Yarasca, Efrain
Abstract:: A significant number of historically existing wetlands that naturally stored rainwater and attenuated flood peaks have now been drained and employed as new farming areas. Beyond the water quality and flow problem, this has resulted in loss of natural habitats of diverse ecological species. Restoring wetlands have hence been proposed...

Assimilation of Multi-Sensor Data into Numerical Hydrodynamic Models of Inland Water Bodies

Creator:: Javaheri, Amir
Abstract:: Numerical models are effective tools for simulating complex physical processes such as hydrodynamic and water quality processes in aquatic systems. The accuracy of the model is dependent on multiple model parameters and variables that need to be calibrated and regularly updated to reproduce changing aquatic conditions accurately. Multi-sensor water temperature...

Stream Temperature Modeling for Marys River Watershed

Creator:: Mustafa, Mamoon
Abstract:: High water temperatures in rivers have detrimental effects on riverine water quality and ecology. In this study, two river temperature models, within the agricultural watershed model Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), were investigated for their ability to simulate water temperatures accurately throughout the year. The original temperature model within...

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...

Bioretention Establishment Hydrologic Characterization with Drift Correction and Calibration of Fine Water Level Measurements

Creator:: Livingston, Grant
Abstract:: Bioretention is a common form of green stormwater infrastructure that is used to attenuate peak flows from urban stormwater. Previous research shows that the bioretention peak response is not consistent across time or space and that the variables that affect peak hydrology are numerous. One variable that has not been...

Determination of Trade-offs between Wetland Ecosystem Services in an Agricultural Landscape

Creator:: Garrison, Stacey L.
Abstract:: Wetland restoration mitigates effects of agricultural development on water quality, flooding, and habitat loss. Multi-objective optimization for wetland locations and sizes has not included objective functions for water quality, hydrology, and habitat in unison, limiting analysis of trade-offs among these ecosystem services. This study establishes two methods to improve the...

Will wetlands restoration plans today still be effective tomorrow? Evaluation of performance of potential wetlands for peak flow reduction in future climate scenarios in the Eagle Creek Watershed, IN

Creator:: Walters, Kelli M.
Abstract:: Global climate change is expected to exaggerate the severity of floods and droughts and increase the frequency of extreme streamflow events in the Midwestern United States. Managing these projected impacts poses a major challenge for water resources, conservation, and land use management. Wetlands have been considered as a conservation strategy...
