As it becomes increasingly apparent that the problems of the southwestern United States are commonly fealt by other portions of the world, research instigated in this country can be used to solve global problems; shown in two articles on the development of water resources in Spain (Carrera and Neuman; Fennessy and Neuman). Because the development of the Central Arizona Project was conceived at a time of abundant energy resources, the project is confronted with the dilemma of providing the power needed to deliver the water to its final users. The question of where the energy will be obtained is raised by one of the authors in this proceeding (Buras), and is partially answered by a companion article by another author (Popkin). The option of user conservation (Davis), perhaps motivated by water pricing (see the article by Agthe), appears to be an important alternative to importing high -cost water from outside the basin. The importance of a high quality water source motivates the articles in the remainder of the proceedings. Such questions as sources of heavy metals (Gabbert et al.), nonpoint source water quality impacts (Wilkin and Hebel), and the production of mutagenic activity by treating water with ozone (Irwin and Steelink) demonstrate the concern that is developing in this country for preserving the purity of our waters. A highlight in this years proceedings is a Key Word Index for all of the articles published under the auspices of the Arizona Section (AWRA).The index can be found at the end of this volume and should provide a bibliographic source for topics of particular interest to researchers concerned with arid land problems.

  • 1 Supplementary Material the Blue Water Footprint of Electricity from Hydropower B Corresponding Author
    Supplementary material The blue water footprint of electricity from hydropower Mesfin M. Mekonnena,b and Arjen Y. Hoekstraa aDepartment of Water Engineering and Management, University of Twente, P.O. Box 217, 7500 AE Enschede, The Netherlands b corresponding author: [email protected] Method The water footprint of electricity (WF, m3/GJ) generated from hydropower is calculated by dividing the amount of water evaporated from the reservoir annually (WE, m3/yr) by the amount of energy generated (EG, GJ/yr): WE WF (1) EG The total volume of evaporated water (WE, m3/yr) from the hydropower reservoir over the year is: 365 WE 10 E A t1 (2) where E is the daily evaporation (mm/day) and A the area of the reservoir (ha). There are a number of methods for the measurement or estimation of evaporation. These methods can be grouped into several categories including (Singh and Xu, 1997): (i) empirical, (ii) water budget, (iii) energy budget, (iv) mass transfer and (v) a combination of the previous methods. Empirical methods relate pan evaporation, actual lake evaporation or lysimeter measurements to meteorological factors using regression analyses. The weakness of these empirical methods is that they have a limited range of applicability. The water budget methods are simple and can potentially provide a more reliable estimate of evaporation, as long as each water budget component is accurately measured. However, owing to difficulties in measuring some of the variables such as the seepage rate in a water system the water budget methods rarely produce reliable results in practice (Lenters et al., 2005, Singh and Xu, 1997).

Walter, Ronald Elliott, Terry Howell, Daniel Itenfisu, Marvin Jensen ENDORSEMENTS Irrigation Association, 2004 ASCE-EWRI Task Committee Report, January, 2005 ASCE Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration Equation Page ii ABSTRACT This report describes the standardization of calculation of reference evapotranspiration (ET) as recommended by the Task Committee on Standardization of Reference Evapotranspiration of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The purpose of the standardized reference ET equation and calculation procedures is to bring commonality to the calculation of reference ET and to provide a standardized basis for determining or transferring crop coefficients for agricultural and landscape use. The basis of the standardized reference ET equation is the ASCE Penman-Monteith (ASCE-PM) method of ASCE Manual 70. For the standardization, the ASCE-PM method is applied for two types of reference surfaces representing clipped grass (a short, smooth crop) and alfalfa (a taller, rougher agricultural crop), and the equation is simplified to a reduced form of the ASCE–PM.

Barton Duchesne County, in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah, was opened for home- steading in 1905, the last region in the state settled by Euro-Americans, and among the last settled areas in the continental United States. Its history is a microcosm of that of the West, featuring various groups of Native Americans, Spanish explorers, fur trappers, outlaws, cowboys, miners, and freighters. It was made part of the Uintah Ute Indian Reservation in 1861. Later, it was opened to homesteading, resulting in a land rush. County residents lived a pioneering lifestyle well into the twentieth century as they home- steaded the land and built communities. In more recent times, the county has faced booms and busts based on extractive economies, large government water projects, environ­ mental problems, and conflict between tradi­ tional and contemporary ideas about land use. In recent years, the Ute Tribe has claimed jurisdiction over the land, resulting in legal battles all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Located on the south slope of the Uinta Mountains, Duchesne County contains many spectacular natural resources, including the highest point in the state—Kings Peak—and is loved by thousands of outdoor enthusiasts and county residents.
