JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association
Volume 45 Issue 4 (August 2009) – View Current Issue
[359 – FC] Brian Richter, Kathleen Williams, and Peter Aarrestad present a small Featured Collection of papers on Instream Flows. The papers derive from an expert panel convened at “FLOW 2008: Interdisciplinary Solutions to Instream Flow Problems,’’ convened in San Antonio, Texas, in October 2008.
[360 08-0225] Geoffrey Petts provides an overview of the scientific underpinnings of the methods and tools now being used to estimate the instream flow requirements of rivers, or types of rivers.
[361] Lawrence J. MacDonnell reviews river and water policies in the U.S. and Canada as they relate to protection and improvement of flow conditions in rivers and water levels of lakes.
[362] Mark P. Smith assesses the role of public dialog in instream flow decision-making.
[351 08-0077] Tirusew Asefa introduces a methodology that accounts for uncertainties in network structures, types of inputs, and their lag-space relationships by looking at a population of Neural Networks rather than target in getting a single ‘‘optimal’’ network. The ability to look at a population of Neural Networks rather than single optimal ones opens up the possibility of accounting for a variety of uncertainties, which have not been addressed explicitly before.
[350 07-0149] Shi Qi et al. suggest both forest composition and spatial pattern are important reforestation designs for flood reduction in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China.
[352 08-0219] Jessica T. Newlin and Peggy A. Johnson apply an adaptive management framework to the problem of identifying mitigation measures for sediment deposition near bridge crossings in small streams in the Northern Tier region of northern Pennsylvania.
[357 08-0183] Quanfa Zhang describes China’s South-to-North water transfer project and discusses its environmental implications.
[358 09-0001] Jennifer L. Rice et al., using in-depth interviews and a survey questionnaire, examine the outcomes of the interactions between scientists and Western water managers to better understand how paleoclimate data has been translated to water resource management.
[355 08-0164] Kristin Bunte et al. compare three pebble count protocols in mountain gravel-bed streams. When applied to the same study reaches, particle-size distributions varied among the three protocols because of differences in sample locations within a stream reach and along a transect, in particle selection, and particle-size determination.
[363 08-0144] We have Discussion and Reply over “The Role of Observer Variation in Determining Rosgen Stream Types.”
