A Novel Physically-Based Framework for the Intelligent Control of River Flooding
River flooding is a recurrent threat and its control and management continues to be a challenge. It has been recognized that effective flooding control requires a real-time strategy that combines optimization with a physically-based simulation... 2011-05-25 (iso8601)

Source Water Protection in a Climate of Change: Perspectives from a Publicly-Owned Utility
The McKenzie River serves as the sole source of drinking water for nearly 200,000 residents in Eugene, OR. The McKenzie River is also home to a number of threatened and endangered fish species. Whereas the majority of the upper watershed is... 2011-05-25 (iso8601)

Growth Management-oriented Water Conservation and Reuse in Oregon: Operationalizing...
Oregon’s largest metropolitan region, Greater Portland, is home to a diverse array of water utilities though few have sufficiently robust water reuse and conservation goals. In determining the most beneficial way to allocate water-related public... 2011-05-25 (iso8601)

Exempt Wells in the Courts, Agencies and Legislatures
“Exempt wells” are water wells that are exempt from one or more permit or other requirements in seventeen western states. Important policy considerations underlie the exemption, and only Utah does not exempt any water uses. However, some have... 2011-05-25 (iso8601)

Assimilative Capacity Modeling in Support of the Georgia Comprehensive State-Wide...
In January 2008, the Georgia Water Council approved the Georgia Comprehensive State-Wide Water Management Plan (GA Water Plan). The purpose of GA Water Plan is to guide the state of Georgia with managing its water resources in a sustainable... 2011-05-25 (iso8601)

Climate Warming, Soil Moisture Dynamics, and Water Budget Partitioning: Experimental...
There is reasonable expectation that climate warming will accelerate the hydrologic cycle, resulting in greater evapotranspiration (ET) and reduced groundwater recharge (R) (or stream flow). Though qualitatively intuitive, quantifying these... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

Incorporating Climate Signals for Improved Ensemble Streamflow Prediction
Ensemble Streamflow Prediction (ESP) provides the means for statistical post-processing of the forecasts and estimating the inherent uncertainties. On the other hand large scale climate variables provide valuable information for hydrologic... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

Assessment of Climate Change Impacts over the Willamette River Basin Using NARCCAP...
One important aspect related to the management of water resources under future climate variation is the occurrence of extreme precipitation events. In order to prepare for extreme events, namely floods and droughts, it is important to understand... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

Processing of Sediment Pulses Following the Removal of Three Small, Gravel-Filled...
The decommissioning of dams, as an approach to restoring longitudinal connectivity and to managing aging infrastructure, presents valuable opportunities for organized study of channel responses to sediment pulses. Experiments with physical and... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

Using Partnership and Prioritization to Achieve Whole Watershed Restoration in the...
The goal of the Whole Watershed Restoration Initiative (WWRI) is to restore natural functions of whole watersheds in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, while amplifying community-based partnerships focused on the strategic restoration of Pacific... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

Building a Database on Best Management Practices for Pesticide Applications to Aquatic...
Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. Pesticides are an option for habitat restoration but there can be unintended consequences to native, threatened and... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

Development of a Numerical Model for the Walla Walla Basin using IWFM...
The Walla Walla basin lies in an arid region on the border of Eastern Washington and Oregon. A large portion of the area is devoted to agricultural production, relying on irrigation water diverted from the Walla Walla River and underlying... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)

A Hydroecology Investigation of Two Incised Riparian Wet Meadows Relating Change in...
The inter-relationships of vegetation, soils, and stream channel erosion characteristics were examined in two riparian meadows of the Ochoco National Forest where progressive stream headcut incision is a critical resource management issue and... 2011-05-24 (iso8601)
