  1. Determinants of Single Family Residential Water Use Across Scales in Four Western US Cities

    A growing body of literature examines urban water sustainability with increasing evidence that locally-based physical and social spatial interactions contribute to water use. These studies however are based on...

  2. Climate Change and Shifts in Water Related Ecosystem Services in the Tualatin and Yamhill River Basins

    Water related ecosystem services (WES), such as flow regulation, drinking water supply, temperature regulation, and water recreational activities, are affected by anthropogenic climate change. Forecasting...

  3. Land Cover, Climate, and the Summer Surface Energy Balance in Phoenix, AZ, and Portland, OR

    Changes in land use and land cover alter the local energy balance and contribute to distinct urban climates. This paper presents a local-scale above-canopy study of intra-urban land cover mixes in two cities to...

  4. Quantifying Uncertainty in Urban Flooding Analysis Considering Hydro-Climatic Projection and Urban Development Effects

    How will the combined impacts of land use change, climate change, and hydrologic modeling influence changes in urban flood frequency and what is the main uncertainty source of the results? Will such changes...

  5. Analysis of Long-Term Climate Change on Per Capita Water Demand in Urban Versus Suburban Areas in the Portland Metropolitan...

    We investigated the impacts of long-term climate variability and change on per capita water demand in urban and suburban service areas that have different degrees of development density in the Portland...

  6. Using Spatially Explicit Indicators to Investigate Watershed Characteristics and stream temperature relationships

    We generate a series of novel indicators of spatially explicit watershed permeability and runoff characteristics to examine the relationship between land cover and water temperature parameters in a rapidly...

  7. Spatial and Temporal Patterns in the Influence of Land Use on Water Quality in Five Portland Area Creeks Representing...

    While the negative effects of urban development on freshwater systems are well documented, impacts of human disturbance on water quality vary depending on land cover, local climate, and temporal and spatial...

  8. Facilitating Collaborative Urban Water Management Through University-Utility Cooperation

    In the face of intensifying stresses such as climate change, rapid urban population growth, land use change, and public concern with rates and use restrictions, water management is becoming increasingly complex...

  9. Relationships Between Environmental Governance and Water Quality in a Growing Metropolitan Area of the Pacific Northwest,...

    We investigate relationships between environmental governance and water quality in two adjacent growing metropolitan areas in the western US. While the Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington metro areas...

  10. Development of Future Land Cover Change Scenarios in the Metropolitan Fringe, Oregon, U.S., with Stakeholder Involvement

    We describe a future land cover scenario construction process developed under consultation with a group of stakeholders from our study area. We developed a simple geographic information system (GIS) method to...
