Reid, B. M. Richmond, W. Z. Savage, C. M. Wentworth, and R. C. Wilson U.S. Geological Survey ABSTRACT Surface processes accelerated by severe storms during the 1997–1998 El Niño event scoured hillsides and damaged property across coastal Cali- fornia. Technological advances such as digital mapping, exemplified here for the San Francisco Bay area but applicable elsewhere, have enabled government agencies to better describe, monitor, and predict the effects of shoreline erosion and slope failure. INTRODUCTION Major storms struck California in 1997–1998, ravaging the coast and spawn- ing floods and landslides (Fig. 1). By late spring, property losses statewide had exceeded $550 million, and 35 counties were declared Federal Disaster Areas. Mindful of severe winters past (Ellen, 1988) and the predicted El Niño anomaly, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) joined other agencies to anticipate new areas of hazard while sustaining monitoring efforts already in place across the state (http:// www.usgs.gov/elnino.html). Here, we illustrate some of the winter’s destructive geomorphic effects in the San Francisco Bay area (Fig. 2) and describe attempts to forecast them at a regional scale. Figure 1. Existing landslides—slumps, slides, and earthflows (red) for part of San Francisco Bay area, Our efforts targeted shoreline erosion on shaded-relief base (Wentworth et al., 1997).

  • Nye County Comprehensive Plan 5.2.2 Competition for Water Rights
    DRAFT - Nye County Comprehensive Plan 5.2.2 Competition for Water Rights In October of 1989, the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) filed applications with the State Engineer’s office for over 860,000 acre-feet of water rights in rural Nevada for virtually all the unallocated perennial yield water in northeastern Nye County. Since the initial filing, LVVWD informed the public that it has revised the amount of water that is needed, but LVVWD has not amended the applications that were filed to reflect this revision. In addition to the water resource commitments, there are large water right filings in some basins that are ready for action by the NDWR. In all, applications are outstanding for more than 333,000 acre feet in the basins that are located wholly or partially in Nye County (as of March 1999). Foremost are those associated with the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) plans to export water from Nye County and other rural Nevada counties to metropolitan Las Vegas. In 1989, LVVWD filed 32 groundwater permit applications with points of diversion in Nye County. Six of these applications have been withdrawn, but the remaining 26 applications, totaling more than 140,000 acre feet in Railroad Valley (North and South), Garden Valley, and Coal Valley, are ready for protest (NCWRP, 2004). The locations of these water rights are in the north and south Raifroad Valley basins, the Coal Valley basin, the Garden Valley basin, and the White River Valley basin. These basins are located in areas that are currently undeveloped or only partially developed.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction.
