Ecological land units of Bear Creek watershed and their relationship to water quality

Creator:: Mattison, Jeffrey L. and Buckhouse, John C.
Abstract:: During 1975 and 1976 a sedimentation study was conducted in the Bear Creek watershed, located in the southeastern corner of central Oregon's Crook County. A Rocky Mountain infiltrometer was used to simulate high intensity rainfall over 468 sedimentation plots. Rainfall and runoff were measured and a sample of the runoff...

An investigation into the pore-scale mechanisms of capillary trapping : application to geologic CO₂ sequestration

Creator:: Herring, Anna L.
Abstract:: Geologic CO₂ sequestration is a climate change mitigation strategy that prevents CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere by capturing CO₂ gasses from large point source emissions streams and then pressurizing and pumping the supercritical-state CO₂ into underground geologic storage reservoirs. Once underground, CO₂ is prevented from buoyant migration to the surface...

Mapping and lithologic interpretation of the Territorial Sea, Oregon

Creator:: Agapito, Melinda T.
Abstract:: Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...

Identification of economic, social, and policy factors influencing irrigation district participation in water transactions in the Deschutes Basin

Creator:: Whitman, Cally A.
Abstract:: Surface water in the Deschutes Basin of central Oregon has been largely over allocated since the early 1900s. Therefore, rapid population growth and urban demand for water in the upper Basin lead to an increased reliance on groundwater in the last three decades. The Oregon Department of Water Resources (OWRD)...

Assessing tribal water rights settlements as a means for resolving disputes over instream flow claims : a comparative case approach

Creator:: Rancier, Racquel
Abstract:: Tribal water rights and instream flows for species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have been a source of tensions in the western United States, particularly when tribes have undetermined water rights to support tribal fisheries listed under the ESA. Understanding the mechanics of past tribal settlements and their...

Beyond random acts of conservation : an institutional analysis of the Natural Resource Conservation Service's Agricultural Water Enhancement Program

Creator:: Burright, Harmony S. J.
Abstract:: Irrigated agriculture accounts for 90 percent of consumptive use of freshwater in the western US and is considered the largest contributor to nonpoint source water pollution. The diffuse nature of most water quality and quantity challenges necessitates institutions that can more effectively engage agricultural producers in strategic, integrated, watershed-scale approaches...
