Dormant Season Evaporation: Challenges to the Current Models
Dormant season evaporation is a critical component of the hydrologic balance and can be considered as the winter period or the time in which there is not a crop actively growing. It is...
Dormant Season Alfalfa Water Balance on the NIIP
Non-growing season water balance parameters were measured for alfalfa under high-elevation desert conditions of the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project in northwest New Mexico. The lysimeters...
Non-Growing Season Water Budgets for a Shortgrass Steppe
The seasonal characteristics of water inputs and outputs during the non growing seasons (October through May) of 1986 to 1992 in a shortgrass steppe are presented in this paper. About...
Evaluation of Dormant Season Evapotranspiration
Water use during the dormant season is often considered to be insignificant in terms of the total water balance. Evapotranspiration was measured over three fields with different crop covers...
Bird Use of an Evaporation Basin and a Mitigation Wetland
A 58-ha freshwater wetland was constructed to mitigate for decreased avian reproductive success and survivorship caused by a 296-ha selenium contaminated evaporation basin. To decrease...
Modeling the Ecological Impacts of Flaming Gorge Dam Operations
Hydropower operations at Flaming Gorge Dam on the Green River in Utah, U.S.A., can produce rapid downstream changes in flow and stage during a day. These changes can, in turn, affect ecological...
Aspects of River House Cleaning during Floods
In spite of all the destructive forces of floods, the washing and scouring of polluted bottom deposits during spring floods gives the rivers a new start at the beginning of what is usually...
Lake Number: A Long-Term Lake Water Quality Predictor
A seasonal maximum Lake number was found to be a good predictor for volume averaged water temperatures, maximum water temperatures near lake bottom, seasonal stratification characteristics,...
Water-Related Hazards: India's Experiences
The geographical position of India (N 8? and 37?; E 70? and 97?) and its physical features are such that a variety of climatic conditions prevail over different parts of the country. Its...
