Published in Hydro Nepal Journal of Water Energy and Environment
Agricultural irrigation leachate is often the largest source for aquifer recharge in semi-arid groundwater basins, but contamination from fertilizers and other agro-chemicals may degrade the quality of groundwater. Affected communities are frequently economically disadvantaged, and water supply alternatives may be too costly. This study aimed to de...
Integrating Storage in Californias Changing Water System
California can effectively use no more than a 15 percent increase - 6 million acre-feet - in surface water storage capacity. Exceeding this expansion runs into limits of available precipitation and the ability to transport water. The study determined the maximum additional storage space that could be used, both with and without coordination with ot...
Drought Curtailment of Water Rights Problems and Technical Solutions
The current drought has focused and renewed discussion about how California curtails water rights when water availability is insufficient. Prior to the 2013-14 water year, the most recent curtailment effort dates back almost 40 years to 1976-77. Since then, many changes and advances have occurred in water use, policies, and technology. New complica...
Assessing flows for fish below dams: A systematic approach to evaluate compliance with California Fish and Game Code 593...
Scientists have identified 181 California dams that may need to increase water flows to protect native fish downstream. The screening tool, developed by the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis, to select \textquotedbllefthigh-priority\textquotedblright dams may be particularly useful during drought years amid compet...
