  • The Salt River – by Elly – Summer 2016
    The Salt River – by Elly – Summer 2016 After living in Arizona for many years, I only recently discovered the pleasure of kayaking and tubing. So far, I have been on the river below Saguaro Lake, on Saguaro Lake, and on Canyon Lake; the other two lakes created in the Salt River, Apache and Roosevelt Lakes, (hopefully) remain to be explored. The Rio Salado, or Salt River, was dammed between the early 1900s and 1930s to provide water and electricity to the Phoenix area, and later served recreational needs. The first dam to be constructed was Roosevelt so my description goes from the `younger’ to the `older’ lakes. Some of my information on the river comes from here. The Four Lakes of the Salt River, from left to right: Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, and Roosevelt The Salt River flows into the Gila River to the West of Phoenix and the Gila contributes to the Colorado, near Yuma, in the Southwest of Arizona. This river is supposed to end in the Gulf of California but rarely has enough water (see here). The ecological impact of dams has been huge. Edward Abbey and others are famous for having suggested Monkey Wrenches to sabotage the plans for the dams in the West. There is always talk of restoring the natural flow in the river; see here. Apart from the ecological impact on bird populations, salinization, and silting, the politics behind dams is ugly. The 1972 Damming the West details the lobbying of the Bureau of Reclamation to keep new projects going even though there was no (agricultural) need for them.

  • Geologic Report of the Stewart Mountain
    GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE STEWART MOUNTAIN QUADRANGLE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZO~A by Steven J. Skotnicki and Robert S. Leighty Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-12 July, 1997 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 Includes 19 page text and 1:24,000 scale geologic map Partially funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program Contract # 1434-HQ-96-AG-01474. This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION This map depicts both the bedrock geology and the general ages and distribution of Late Tertiary and Quaternary deposits and geomorphic surfaces in the Stewart Mountain quadrangle (see Figure 1). The Salt River, re-emerging from Saguaro Lake, slices through the middle of the study area where it separates granite pediment and felsic volcanic rocks of the Usery and Goldfield Mountains (respectively) to the south, from a vast expanse of Late Tertiary basin-fill sediments to the north. Mapping of the surficial deposits was based both on field observations and interpretation of color 1:30,000-scale aerial photographs (dated 6-12-88), obtained from the Tonto National Forest in Phoenix. All of the region is administered by the Tonto National Forest. Good access to the region is provided by State Route 87, the Bush Highway, and Usery Pass Road (see Figure 2). A primitive road provides access to Bulldog Canyon, but locked gates at both ends can only be opened by obtaining a pennit from the Tonto National Forest Service field office in Mesa.

    Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2Seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs Angela Fan Claire Gardent Chloe´ Braud Antoine Bordes FAIR / LORIA CNRS / LORIA CNRS / LORIA FAIR angelafan,[email protected] claire.gardent,[email protected] Abstract Query-based open-domain NLP tasks require information synthesis from long and diverse web results. Current approaches extrac- tively select portions of web text as input to Sequence-to-Sequence models using meth- ods such as TF-IDF ranking. We propose constructing a local graph structured knowl- edge base for each query, which compresses the web search information and reduces re- dundancy. We show that by linearizing the graph into a structured input sequence, models can encode the graph representations within a standard Sequence-to-Sequence setting. For two generative tasks with very long text in- put, long-form question answering and multi- document summarization, feeding graph rep- resentations as input can achieve better perfor- mance than using retrieved text portions. 1 Introduction Effective information synthesis is at the core of many Natural Language Processing applica- Figure 1: Multi-Document Input to Linearized Graph tions, such as open-domain question answering Multi-document input resulting from web search queries are converted to a graph structured knowledge base using coref- and multi-document summarization.

  • A Case Study from the Temecula Area, Southwestern Riverside County, California
    Land Subsidence (Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Land Subsidence, May 1991). IAHS Publ. no. 200,1991. Earth Fissures, Urbanization and Litigation: A Case Study from the Temecula Area, Southwestern Riverside County, California E. J. CORWIN, S. C. ALHADEFF, S. P. OGGEL Lorenz Alhadeff Lundin & Oggel, 101 West Broadway, Suite 1500, San Diego, CA 92101, USA R. J. SHLEMON P.O. Box 3066, Newport Beach, CA 92659 , USA ABSTRACT Ground fissures occurring in 1987 extended discontinuously along a 12-km long zone in the rapidly-urbanizing Temecula-Wolf Valley area of southwestern Riverside County, California. Impacted were new residential and industrial buildings. Litigation has ensued, and damage is now alleged to exceed about 50 million dollars. Defendants include County government, a local Water District, developers, and consulting engineers and geologists. INTRODUCTION In the mid-1980s, urbanization dramatically increased in the Temecula area of southwestern Riverside County, California. From a population of 8,324 in 1980, the previously serene town, about 41 km north of San Diego and 53 km southeast of Los Angeles, jumped to a population of over 29,000 in 1988 (Fig. 1). Developers seized on the increasing popularity of southern California as a desirable place to live, and vast new residential and light industrial complexes ("Business Parks") were built. The rapid urbanization produced the usual plethora of environmental constraints for both the developers and residents of Temecula. The most unexpected problem was the mid-1987 occurrence of earth fissures, the resulting allegations of property damage and general loss of value, and the perhaps inevitable litigation that has since followed.

  • Central Arizona Project Fish Monitoring Final Annual Report
    CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT FISH MONITORING FINAL ANNUAL REPORT SUMMARY OF SAMPLE YEAR 2010 FISH SURVEYS IN BEHALF OF A LONG‐TERM MONITORING PLAN FOR FISH POPULATIONS IN SELECTED WATERS OF THE GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZONA Paul C. Marsh and Brian R. Kesner Submitted in partial fulfillment of Bureau of Reclamation Contract Number R09PD32013 Submitted to Robert W. Clarkson Bureau of Reclamation 6150 West Thunderbird Road Glendale, Arizona 85306‐4001 Submitted by Marsh & Associates, LLC 5016 South Ash Avenue, Suite 108 Tempe, Arizona 85282 July 12, 2011 This report summarizes fish sampling in behalf of a long‐term monitoring plan for fish populations in selected waters of the Gila River basin, Arizona, during sample year (SY) 2010 (period July 12, 2010 to January 24, 2011). Reclamation’s monitoring program is a result of several biological opinions on impacts of transportation and delivery of Central Arizona Project (CAP) water from the Colorado River at Lake Havasu to the Gila River basin. Its primary intention is to establish baseline data on the presence and distribution of non‐native fishes and to detect changes in species composition or distribution in the CAP aqueduct and selected river, stream, and canal reaches in Arizona. Protocols implemented during this monitoring are detailed by Clarkson (1996 a‐c) and Clarkson et al. (2011), and will not be reiterated in detail here. In general, streams were stratified according to geomorphology or flow characteristics, and replicate 200‐m "quantitative," fixed sampling stations were established as the source for distribution and assemblage structure data. The plan calls for electrofishing as the primary gear for this purpose, but use of other methods is encouraged if electrofishing is deemed inadequate.

The California District consists of 250 staff members at nine locations, all of whom have contributed in some way to the studies described in this report. To accomplish the mission of describing the water resources of the State, the Survey staff works with more than 130 cooperating local, State, and Federal agencies with common interests in this most valuable resource. Climate extremes, such as the recent drought which is still fresh in people's minds, serve to focus our attention on the need for timely, high-quality water information. The flooding that occurred in southern California during the winter of 1992-93 is a reminder that climate extremes can change quickly. The studies described in this report cover a wide range of water issues in California that are important to water managers and scientists.

    1 9.3 PISGAH 2 3 4 9.3.1 Background and Summary of Impacts 5 6 7 9.3.1.1 General Information 8 9 The proposed Pisgah SEZ has a total area of 23,950 acres (97 km2) and is located in 10 San Bernardino County in southeastern California, about 100 mi (160 km) northeast of Los 11 Angeles (Figure 9.3.1.1-1). In 2008, the county population was 2,086,465. The nearest 12 population center to the SEZ is the City of Barstow, which is located about 25 mi (40 km) to 13 the west of the SEZ and had a 2008 population of 24,596. Interstate 40 (I-40) runs east–west 14 through the proposed Pisgah SEZ, bisecting it into a northern portion that contains about two- 15 thirds of the SEZ acreage and a southern portion with the remainder of the acreage. Access to the 16 SEZ from I-40 is available from exits at Fort Cady Road (to the west of the SEZ), Hector Road 17 (midway through the SEZ), and Pisgah Crater Road (at the eastern end of the SEZ). Hector Road 18 runs north–south through the middle of the SEZ, and a number of other local dirt roads cross the 19 SEZ. The National Trails Highway (historic U.S. 66) also passes through the SEZ as it runs 20 south of and parallel to I-40. The BNSF Railroad serves the area and traverses the SEZ from the 21 northwest to the southeast, running approximately parallel to and about 0.8 mi (1.3 km) north of 22 I-40.
