title: Streamflow-habitat analysis Henry’s Fork Idaho

description: This is a repository for the code + data associated with the publication titled "Assessing downstream aquatic habitat availability relative to headwater reservoir management in the Henrys Fork Snake River" by Christina N Morrisett, Robert W Van Kirk, and Sarah E Null in River Research and Applications (2023).

Reservoirs are sometimes managed to meet agricultural and other water demands, while also maintaining streamflow for aquatic species and ecosystems. In the Henrys Fork Snake River, Idaho (USA), irrigation-season management of a headwater reservoir is informed by a flow target in a management reach ~95 km downstream. The target is in place to meet irrigation demand and maintain aquatic habitat within the 11.4 km management reach and has undergone four flow target assignments from 1978 to 2021. Recent changes to irrigation-season management to maximize reservoir carryover warranted investigation into the flow target assignment. Thus, we created a streamflow-habitat model using hydraulic measurements, habitat unit mapping, and published habitat suitability criteria for Brown Trout (Salmo trutta), Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and Mountain Whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni). We used model output to compare habitat availability across two management regimes (1978–2017 and 2018–2021). We found that efforts to minimize reservoir releases in 2018–2021 did not reduce mean irrigation-season fish habitat relative to natural flow, but did reduce overall fish habitat variability during the irrigation season compared to streamflow management in 1978–2017. Field observations for this research led to an adjusted flow target in 2020 that moved the target location downstream of intervening irrigation diversions. Using our model output, we demonstrated that moving the location of the target to account for local irrigation diversions will contribute to more consistently suitable fish habitat in the reach. Our study demonstrates the importance of site selection for establishing environmental flow targets.

title: A fresh take: Seasonal changes in terrestrial freshwater inputs impact salt marsh hydrology and vegetation dynamics

description: This data repository contains data associated with the manuscript "A fresh take: Seasonal changes in terrestrial freshwater inputs impact salt marsh hydrology and vegetation dynamics".

Salt marshes exist at the terrestrial-marine interface, providing important ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. Tidal inputs play a dominant role in salt marsh porewater mixing, and terrestrially derived freshwater inputs are increasingly recognized as important sources of water and solutes to intertidal wetlands. However, there remains a critical gap in understanding the role of freshwater inputs on salt marsh hydrology, and how this may impact marsh subsurface salinity and plant productivity. Here, we address this knowledge gap by examining the hydrologic behavior, porewater salinity, and pickleweed (Sarcocornia pacifica also known as Salicornia pacifica) plant productivity along a salt marsh transect in an estuary along the central coast of California. Through the installation of a suite of hydrometric sensors and routine porewater sampling and vegetation surveys, we sought to understand how seasonal changes in terrestrial freshwater inputs impact salt marsh ecohydrologic processes. We found that salt marsh porewater salinity, shallow subsurface saturation, and pickleweed productivity are closely coupled with elevated upland water level during the winter and spring, and more influenced by tidal inputs during the summer and fall. This seasonal response indicates a switch in salt marsh hydrologic connectivity with the terrestrial upland that impacts ecosystem functioning. Through elucidating the inter-annual impacts of drought on salt marsh hydrology, we found that the severity of drought and historical precipitation can impact contemporary hydrologic behavior and the duration and timing of the upland-marsh hydrologic connectivity. This implies that the sensitivity of salt marshes to climate change involves a complex interaction between sea level rise and freshwater inputs that vary at seasonal to interannual timescales.

title: Model of Human Influenced Hydrology of the East Fork of the Russian River (CA, USA) with data

description: The model presented here was developed by applying a diagnostic approach to modeling watersheds with human interference. This mixed methods approach is informed by the case history and builds on the top-down hydrological modeling approach where process complexity is incrementally added with changing timescales to identify and respond to changing dominant hydrological processes in any given watershed. Here we implement this modeling approach in the East Fork of the Upper Russian River in California, USA for which data on changes in water imports, withdrawals, irrigation and agriculture land cover is available from the early 1940’s, making it an ideal case to demonstrate this method. In the East Fork watershed, we find that incorporation of water imports and water rights are sufficient to replicate annual patterns of runoff variability, and that adding crop water demand and irrigation enables replication of monthly and daily patterns, while incorporation of groundwater pumping results in negligible improvements.

title: GP_betasdam Final data and code

description: Hydrological, biological, geomorphological, and geospatial datasets collected from the Great Plains (GP) used to develop the Beta Streamflow Duration Assessment Method (SDAM) for the GP. SDAMs are rapid, reach-scale indices or models that use physical and/or biological indicators to predict flow duration class. Three flow duration classes are used in the GP Beta SDAM: perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral. Perennial reaches have continuous surface flow and do not experience drying outside of extreme drought. Intermittent reaches have continuous surface flow for part of the year that is sustained by snowmelt and/or groundwater. Ephemeral reaches have surface flow only during and immediately following precipitation or snowmelt. These datasets are also located at the United States Environmental Protection Agency data repository at: https://doi.org/10.23719/1527943

title: Isotope compositions in precipitation across Mexico: 2018-2021

description: Here we report on the spatial and temporal isotope variations of 21 precipitation monitoring stations across Mexico. Our database includes 608 monthly samples collected from 2018 to 2021 over four main domains (between 5 and 2,365 m asl): the Pacific coast, the Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean Sea region, and the Central and Northern Plateaus. All linear regressions and statistical diagnostics were computed using R (R Core Team, 2022). The nationwide isotopic lapse rate (-1.75‰ in δ18O/km) (including monitoring sites influenced by tropical cyclones (TCs) (Loreto, Culiacan, and Hermosillo) explained 65% (p<0.001) of the total variance. The direct influence of TCs passages and landfalls across the Pacific coast resulted in depleted monthly compositions in low-elevation coastal sites. By removing these sites, the isotopic lapse rate increased to -2.20‰ in δ18O/km (85% of the total variance explained, p<0.001). The precipitation-weighted isotope lapse rate (including all sites) resulted in a similar slope -2.10‰ in δ18O/km (72% of the total variance explained, p<0.001). Raster interpolations were performed in ArcGIS 10.8.1 (ESRI, USA) using a 10m digital elevation model.

title: The 2022 National Water Use Data Workshop Summary Report

description: On August 16-18, 2022, the Western States Water Council (WSWC), in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Interstate Council on Water Policy (ICWP), and Internet of Water Coalition (IoW Coalition), held a National Water Use Data Workshop, in Salt Lake City, Utah. This report summarizes the workshop, the key takeaways from breakout sessions,  and the post-workshop survey results. The report also includes the agenda and attendee list.
Water use measurements, estimates, and reporting are important to water supply planning, drought response planning, mitigation, water project construction and operations, water policy, and water rights administration. Yet, States and USGS face challenges in estimating and reporting water use to make informed decisions. 
The goal of the workshop was to: (1) provide a platform for state agencies' staff to learn from each other about the latest efforts related to water data management and sharing; (2) engage state information technology (I.T.) and water resources management staff with the USGS Water Mission Area staff (including the Water-Use Data and Research program- WUDR) and the WSWC Water Data Exchange (WaDE) Programs; (3) exchange the latest developments on water use data sharing methods and how States can benefit from them; and (4) identify challenges related to states' data sharing efforts and consider potential solutions.
Overall, the workshop drew some 100 participants, roughly half in-person and half virtually, from 32 states (Figure 1), representing 67 states, federal, private sector, non-profit, academic agencies, and organizations. 
Thirty speakers covered topics of (1) programs and initiatives related to improving data collection, sharing, and access to water use data (2) data collection methods and models estimating and reporting surface and groundwater use for all categories of water use, such as agriculture, public supply, and thermoelectric and reporting; and (3) software tools to share, visualize, query, and download water use data.

title: Bajada Summer 2015 Soil Nutrients

description: In dryland soils, spatiotemporal variation in surface soils (0-10 cm) plays an important role in the function of the “critical zone” that extends from canopy to groundwater. Understanding connections between soil microbes and biogeochemical cycling in surface soils requires repeated multivariate measurements of nutrients, microbial abundance, and microbial function. We examined these processes in resource islands and interspaces over a two-month period at a Chihuahuan Desert bajada shrubland site. We collected soil in Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite), Larrea tridentata (creosote bush), and unvegetated (interspace) areas to measure soil nutrient concentrations, microbial biomass, and potential exoenzyme activity. We monitored the dynamics of these belowground processes as soil conditions dried and then rewetted due to rainfall. Most measured variables, including inorganic nutrients, microbial biomass, and soil enzyme activities were greater under shrubs during both wet and dry periods, with the highest magnitudes under mesquite followed by creosote and then interspace. Two exceptions were soil organic carbon, which was slightly higher in interspace areas, and nitrate, which was highly variable and did not show resource island patterns. Temporally, rainfall pulses were associated with substantial changes in soil nutrient concentrations, though resource island patterns remained consistent during all phases of the soil moisture pulse. Microbial biomass was more consistent, decreasing only when soils were driest. Potential enzyme activities were even more consistent, and did not decline in dry periods, potentially helping to stimulate observed pulses in CO2 efflux following rain events observed at a co-located eddy flux tower. These results indicate a critical zone with organic matter cycling patterns consistently elevated in shrub resource islands, high decomposition potential that limits soil organic carbon accumulation across the landscape, and  nitrate fluxes that are decoupled from the organic matter pathways.

title: Data for clogging enhancement in rock fractures

description: This resource includes experimental data for particle clogging in fractures, including images, videos, and other data. The movie file shows emergence of all the patterns of the clogging experiments in a vertical rough fracture. The patterns include : I, non-clogging (NC); II, stripe-like accumulation (SA); III, complete blockage (CB); IV, entrance sealing (ES). The fracture aperture field is measured by using the light transmission method and provided in the spreadsheet file format. The fracture is made of transparent replicas of granite rock fracture surfaces. The procedure for fabricating a transparent fracture cell is as follows. Step 1: split a rock block to obtain a rough rock fracture with the Brazilian test method. Step 2: produce two silicone rubber molds of the two rough surfaces. Step 3: cast two resin replicas of rough surface respectively from the two silicone rubber molds. Step 4: match and glue the two fracture replicas, and then add an inlet manifold. The last two spreadsheet files include the data for normalized clogging volume Vc and mean aperture of clogged fracture areas,  as a function of secondary liquid content ω and flow rate Q (represented by the Stokes number St) at the end of the experiments.

title: West Fork Whiterocks River, Utah: stable isotope and hydrochemical data for rock glacier water, streamwater, and groundwater

description: Water draining from rock glaciers in the Uinta Mountains of Utah (USA) was analyzed and compared with samples of groundwater and water from the master stream in a representative 5000-ha drainage.  Samples were collected during the melt season of 2021 using automated ISCO samplers.  Two samplers were installed at springs discharging from the termini of rock glaciers.  A third sampler was installed at a non-rock glacier spring, and the fourth was deployed along the West Fork Whiterocks River.  Composite samples of summer and fall rain were also collected, as well as grab samples of snow.  Samples were analyzed for their stable isotopic composition using a Los Gatos 45-EP Triple Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer at Middlebury College.  Samples were run against a bracketing set of 5 standards and calibrated with a cubic spline function.  Each sample was analyzed 10 times, with the first 2 injections discarded to minimize cross-over.  Standards were run as unknowns after every five samples as an internal check on the results.  Accuracy of the instrument is 0.4‰ for δD and 0.1‰ for δ18O.  The standard deviation of repeat injections of the samples in this study was 0.17‰ for δD and 0.04‰ for δ18O.  Hydrochemical characterizations were made with a Thermo iCap ICP-MS at Middlebury College.  Samples were run against a set of standards derived from NIST Standard Reference Material 1643f “Trace Elements in Water”.  An in-house standard was used to determine the abundance of Si and Ti, which are not present in 1643f.  The NIST standard and the in-house standards were run after every 10 unknowns and a linear correction was applied to compensate for instrument drift.  Interpretation focused on elements that consistently exhibited concentrations >1 ppb.
