Optimizing-Stream-Barrier-Removal Open
A dual objective optimization model was developed to restore habitat connectivity while considering water scarcity losses. The model was applied to Utah's Weber River Basin but the model is generalizable to other watersheds.

Lessons from Immersive Online Collaborative Modeling to Discuss More Adaptive Reservoir Operations Open
This work had the purpose to provoke discussion about more adaptive reservoir operations. This work created online collaborative modeling environments by using web spreadsheets (Google Sheets) during a video conference session. In each ses…

Adapting Colorado River Basin Depletions to Available Water to Live within Our Means Open
The Colorado River's two largest reservoirs are drawing down because releases exceed inflows and releases adapt to reservoir elevations instead of to elevation and inflow triggers. To help slow reservoir drawdown and sustain target elevati…

Method and apparatus for off-gas composition sensing Open
An apparatus and method for non-intrusive collection of off-gas data in a steelmaking furnace includes structure and steps for transmitting a laser beam through the off-gas produced by a steelmaking furnace, for controlling the transmittin…

Bugs Pay for Days of Steady Reservoir Releases to Reduce Costs to Hydropower Customers and Sustain Funds to Maintain Infrastructure Open
Steady low reservoir releases allow downstream aquatic invertebrates (bugs) to lay and hatch eggs and increase production. These releases also reduce revenue from hydropeaking operations, increase costs to hydropower customers, reduce fund…

Cancelled: Big Bang Bouncing Universes Open
There are multiple examples of unexplained gravitational losses in black holes and neutron stars. Squeezed to a certain size, nucleons are not further compressible. Gravitational loss will allow galactic black holes to cause dark energy an…

Sustaining Water Conservation: A Synthesis of Research on Motivators, Message Tailoring, and Tactics Open
We reviewed 80 studies from behavior sciences, environmental psychology, resource management, and health communication fields to learn why some voluntary message campaigns sustained conservation behaviors. We found past campaigns reduced r…

Agent‐Based Model to Manage Household Water Use Through Social‐Environmental Strategies of Encouragement and Peer Pressure Open
Water conservation has long been an effective component of sustainable water management. However, inelastic price responses, demand hardening, and poor public awareness reduce the effectiveness of strategies. Here, we identify and quantify…

Water End-Use Disaggregation for Six Nonresidential Facilities in Logan, Utah Open
Most urban water-use monitoring, modeling, and conservation research has focused on a large but relatively homogenous group of residential water users. Commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) facilities use large volumes of water, …

Managing Lake Urmia, Iran for diverse restoration objectives: Moving beyond a uniform target lake level Open
Study Region: Lake Urmia, Iran. Study focus: There is widespread interest in restoring drying saline lakes. At Iran’s hypersaline Lake Urmia, managers have sought a uniform target lake level of 1274.1 m above sea level to lower salinity be…
