  • Climate Change and Oregon’s Water Future

    Creator:
    Campana, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    The specter of climate change looms large over Oregon. Although hydroclimatologic models predict a warmer Oregon, the total volume of precipitation may not change significantly. However, the character (rain vs. snow) and spatial and temporal distributions of precipitation will likely change. The state is already witnessing earlier snowmelt in the...

  • An ecosystem service approach to inform reactive nitrogen management in the lower Yakima River Basin, Washington

    Creator:
    Crowell, Morgan
    Abstract:
    Spatially explicit ecosystem service valuation (ESV) allows for the identification of the location and magnitude of services provided by natural ecosystems to human activities along with a measure of their significance based upon economic valuation. While ESV has been used to provide new insight into land use management, few studies...

  • Sustainable US Federal Water Policy Recommendations

    Creator:
    Kusanto, Nicholas Christopher
    Abstract:
    Climate change, population growth, aging infrastructure, poor water management, and aquifer depletion are reducing US water supply. Increasing water scarcity will lead to an inability to support agriculture, industry, energy, and municipal demand that will negatively affect US economic growth and national security. Traditional water policy measures of expanding supply...

  • An evaluation of a water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) program for rural communities in northern Afghanistan

    Creator:
    Costello, Denise H.
    Abstract:
    The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector of international development works to increase access to sustainable, safe water and improved sanitation. Currently, at least 780 million people live without clean drinking water and 2.5 billion without access to improved sanitation (UNICEF & World Health Organization, 2012). Lack of access to...

  • A Look Beneath the Surface : Developing a Transboundary Groundwater Governance Framework and Agreement for the Memphis Sand Aquifer

    Creator:
    Mondo, Holly A.
    Abstract:
    Groundwater is often misunderstood because of its subsurface nature. Consequently, policies intended to govern the resource are fragmented as is evident in the Supreme Court case between Mississippi and Tennessee. Here, disagreements over ownership and the scientific-hydrogeological scope of groundwater in the Memphis Sand Aquifer have led to an 11-year...

  • An investigation of water access and quality in the Ambovombe area of southern Madagascar

    Creator:
    Valentine, Katherine Frances
    Abstract:
    The Ambovombe-Androy region of southern Madagascar is one of the most water stressed areas in the country and is also notorious for having the worst quality water on the island. Before improvements and change can be made however, it is vital to know what infrastructure, quality, and access levels currently...

  • Transboundary Water Institutions in Developing Countries : A Case Study in Afghanistan

    Creator:
    Malyar, Idrees
    Abstract:
    This study addresses the questions: 1) What kind of transboundary water management institution is needed for Afghanistan; and 2) what expertise is required for the institution and which stakeholders should be involved? The establishment of a transboundary water resources management institution/unit is an essential step for Afghanistan in order to...

  • Hydrologic and Land Cover Effects on Sources and Fate of In-Stream Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter

    Creator:
    Lee, Baek Soo P.
    Abstract:
    Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a critical component of the carbon cycle linking terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although many factors influence DOM fluxes and quality in rivers, controls on DOM compositions in catchments of the western U.S. are poorly understood. UV and fluorescent spectroscopy is a simpler, faster, and less...

  • 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...

  • Water management decentralization in rural Honduras

    Creator:
    Sano, Yoshiko
    Abstract:
    Numerous water supply systems and community based water boards have been created with the aid of international organizations and NGOs in developing countries. These water systems have great potential to improve people’s social life and health in these countries. However, in reality, these water systems are often not effectively managed;...
