Sustainability in the Upper Colorado River Basin: A Struggle Between Water Resource Use and Remnants of the Natural Ecosystem

This study evaluated whether development of the Colorado River system has exceeded sustainability by comparing the trends in water use in the Colorado River. Two sustainable areas were identified in the upper basin and one in the lower-- the mainstream Colorado River, Green and Yampa rivers, and the Little Colorado River. These areas are also high priority recovery areas for four endangered fishes and protected by critical habitat provisions of the ESA. Unfortunately, the endangered fishes are declining because of habitat destruction and non-native species. If increasing water demand causes the fishes to go extinct the few sustainable areas will be lost. It will take careful management of the endangered fishes and water users to ensure these areas are maintained.

An interactive environmental site assessment audit for Wagner Creek river basin clean up project

The primary purpose of this thesis was to design and create an Interactive Audit to conduct Environmental Site Assessments according to American Society of Testing Material's (ASTM) Phase I Standards at the Wagner Creek study area. ArcPad and ArcIMS are the major software that were used to create the model and ArcGIS Desktop was used for data analysis and to export shapefile symbology to ArcPad. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an effective tool to deploy these purposes. This technology was utilized to carry out data collection, data analysis and to display data interactively on the Internet. Electronic forms, customized for mobile devices were used to survey sites. This is an easy and fast way to collect and modify field data. New data such as land use, recognized environmental conditions, and underground storage tanks can be added into existing datasets. An updated map is then generated and uploaded to the Internet using ArcIMS technology. The field investigator has the option to generate and view the Inspection Form at the end of his survey on site, or print a hardcopy at base. The mobile device also automatically generates preliminary editable Executive Reports for any inspected site.

Student Independent Projects Environmental Studies 2011: The Humber River Basin Human Values Project: Designing a Sampling Strategy for a Pilot Survey in the Corner Brook Area

Sustainability can be indicated by a number of factors. Populations need to be aged evenly, ensuring a healthy equilibrium. Job opportunities must be numerous and of wide varieties to balance incomes from different employment sectors. Regions must also sustain vital natural resources in the area which are directly related to a place being self-sustaining. These indicators prove to be true, especially in Newfoundland, where people have struggled to remain in the small traditional communities that they consider being there 'home.' The population of Corner Brook and the surrounding areas can be stratified according to the values people hold to their special place. Even though people in western Newfoundland hold strong ties to their home, some parts of the region even though people in western Newfoundland hold strong ties to their home, some parts of the region struggle with employment, low incomes, out-migration, and dependency on declining natural resources. The aim of this paper is to present the process of designing a sample strategy for a human values pilot survey conducted in the city of Corner Brook. It will present a theoretical background over the period 2002-2006 to be used for sampling strategy.

Quality control, validation and user feedback of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS)

The quality control, validation and verification of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS) are described. EFAS is designed as a flood early warning system at pan-European scale, to complement national systems and provide flood warnings more than 2 days before a flood. On average 20–30 alerts per year are sent out to the EFAS partner network which consists of 24 National hydrological authorities responsible for transnational river basins. Quality control of the system includes the evaluation of the hits, misses and false alarms, showing that EFAS has more than 50% of the time hits. Furthermore, the skills of both the meteorological as well as the hydrological forecasts are evaluated, and are included here for a 10-year period. Next, end-user needs and feedback are systematically analysed. Suggested improvements, such as real-time river discharge updating, are currently implemented.

Utilización de biomarcadores para la evaluación integrada de la calidad del agua de la cuenca del río Suquía.Utilization of biomarkers for the integrated evaluation of water quality of the Suquía River Basin.

En los últimos años el grupo de investigación ha caracterizado la calidad de los cuerpos de agua, detectando gradientes de calidad ambiental que se manifiestan por la aparición de tóxicos que generan cambios en la calidad del agua, sedimento y especialmente en la biota. El presente proyecto propone una evaluación integrada de la contaminación de los recursos hídricos abarcando el estudio de las causas de la contaminación y las respuestas biológicas que se producen ante dichas alteraciones. Por ello nuestro objetivo principal es evaluar la contaminación de los recursos acuáticos a través del desarrollo y aplicación de diversas herramientas. El enfoque multidisciplinario del mismo permitirá integrar los análisis de las diferentes áreas de estudio, con el fin de brindarán soluciones al problema generalizado de la contaminación acuática. El fin último es alcanzar una mejor valoración de los cambios temporales y espaciales en la calidad de las cuencas hídricas. Se propone analizar la presencia y concentración de tóxicos en agua, suelo, sedimento y biota conjuntamente con la evaluación de los efectos sobre los organismos a diferentes niveles de organización, lo que permitirá determinar y seleccionar los indicadores más eficientes de la contaminación ambiental. Se desarrollarán biomarcadores moleculares basados en expresión genética en la biota acuática y biomarcadores morfológicos, histológicos y bioquímicos. Además se evaluará el efecto del estrés tóxico sobre los hábitos natatorios de peces utilizando un software recientemente desarrollado por el grupo. También se intensificará la búsqueda de biomarcadores específicos de disrupción endocrina en peces tales como aromatasa, vitelogenina, parámetros estáticos y dinámicos de espermatozoides y comportamiento de cortejo y cópula. Así, el plan propuesto brindará un conjunto de herramientas, con diverso grado de complejidad, para ser usadas en la correcta evaluación del impacto ambiental de las actividades humanas. El grupo de trabajo pretende realizar una fuerte contribución a los conocimientos de base para crear conciencia sobre el problema de las diferentes cuencas en estudio, a fin de llevar a cabo un control sostenido de la calidad de los recursos acuáticos.
