Approaches to Setting Nutrient Targets in the Red River of the North
APPROACHES TO SETTING NUTRIENT TARGETS IN THE RED RIVER OF THE NORTH Topical Report RSI-2328 prepared for International Joint Commission 1250 23rd St. NW, Room 100 Washington, DC 20440 March 2013 APPROACHES TO SETTING NUTRIENT TARGETS IN THE RED RIVER OF THE NORTH Topical Report RSI-2328 by Andrea B. Plevan Julie A. Blackburn RESPEC 1935 West County Road B2, Suite 320 Roseville, MN 55113 prepared for International Joint Commission 1250 23rd St. NW, Room 100 Washington, DC 20440 March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The International Joint Commission, through its International Red River Board (IRRB), has developed a proposed approach for a basinwide nutrient management strategy for the international Red River Watershed. One component of the nutrient management strategy involves developing nitrogen and phosphorus targets along the Red River including sites at the outlet of the Red River into Lake Winnipeg, the international boundary at Emerson, and subwatershed discharge points in the watershed. These nutrient objectives will be coordinated with developing nutrient objectives for Lake Winnipeg. As a first step in developing the nutrient targets, the IRRB contracted RESPEC to conduct a literature review of the available scientific methods for setting nitrogen and phosphorus water-quality targets. Based on the findings of the literature review, RESPEC was asked to provide recommendations on the method(s) most appropriate for the Red River. This report includes the findings of the literature review and the recommended scientific approaches for developing nitrogen and phosphorus targets in the Red River. Multiple technical approaches were reviewed. One category of approaches uses the reference condition and includes techniques such as using data from reference sites, modeling the reference condition, estimating the reference condition from all sites within a class, and paleolimnological techniques to reconstruct the reference condition through historical data. -

Abstract River channels are dynamic landforms that play an important role in understanding the alluvial changes occurring within this area. The evolution of the Red River of the North within the shallow alluvial valley was investigated within a 60 river mile area north and south of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Despite considerable research along the Red River of the North, near St. Jean Baptiste, Manitoba, little is known about the historical channel dynamics within the defined study area. A series of 31 measurements were taken using three separate methods to document the path of lateral channel migration along areas of this highly sinuous, low- gradient river. -

History of North Dakota Chapter 6
The Beginnings of Settlements 109 CHAPTER 6 The Beginnings of Settlement THE FIRST PORTION OF NORTH DAKOTA to be settled was the valley of the Red River of the North. Except for the Selkirk colonists and the metis about Pembina, agricultural settlement came with the advance of the American frontier. When restless farmers, seeking cheap land, had taken over southern Minnesota, they turned next to the fertile lands of the Red River Valley. Their coming was stimulated by the opening of a new transportation system. Remoteness was a crucial problem at the Selkirk settlement. Its people, métis and white, wanted easy access to outside markets. At first they were supplied by way of Hudson Bay, but that was costly and the Hudson's Bay Company itself sought a cheaper route. St. Paul, more accessible than the Bay, wanted to make the Selkirk colony its commercial hinterland. When the cheaper route to the Selkirk settlement by way of St. Paul won out over the more costly one by way of the Bay, the valley of the Red River became a trade route. Cart trails, the steamboat line, and then the railroad ran through it. These opened the portion of the valley south of the international boundary and brought in settlers. The process advanced in three steps. The first as the growth of the metis settlement at Pembina and St. Joseph. There the metis had freer access both to St. Paul and to the buffalo herds on the American side of the boundary. The Pembina-St. Joseph settlement was also an American 110 History of North Dakota gateway to the Selkirk colony to the north. -
Precipitation
Definitions • Hydrologic Cycle - s a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water on earth • Water Budget P = ET + RO + GW + ΔS • Drainage basin is an extent or an area of land where surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation, usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another waterbody, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean. Precipitation • Precipitation - is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, snow and hail. • Hyetograph: is a graph of cumulative precipitation through time • Intensity: precipitation over time • Frequency: Probability of occurrence of a determined rainfall event • Return Period: how frequent (in year) a determined rainfall event happen • Interception: Part of the precipitation which wets or adheres to above ground objects until return to the atmosphere through evaporation or sublimation Evapotranspiration • Evaporation: Transfer of water from land and water masses to the atmosphere • Transpiration: The process by which the plant extract water from the soil, utilize it, and expel it to the atmosphere • Evapo-transpiration (ET): Combined process of evaporation and transpiration. It is dependent upon many factors including: soil cover, vegetation, solar radiation, humidity, wind, etc. • Reference Evapotranspiration “ET0”: The reference crop evapotranspiration represents the evapotranspiration from a standardized vegetated surface. Runoff • Infiltration: Process by which precipitation moves downwards through the surface and replenishes soil moisture, recharges aquifers and supports steamflows during dry periods • Runoff: is often defined as the portion of rainfall, snowmelt, and/or irrigation water that runs over the soil surface toward the stream rather than infiltrating into the soil. -
Modelling Snowmelt in Ungauged Catchments
water Article Modelling Snowmelt in Ungauged Catchments Carolina Massmann 1,2 1 Institute for Hydrology and Water Management (HyWa), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, 1190 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] 2 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Received: 20 December 2018; Accepted: 29 January 2019; Published: 11 February 2019 Abstract: Temperature-based snowmelt models are simple to implement and tend to give good results in gauged basins. The situation is, however, different in ungauged basins, as the lack of discharge data precludes the calibration of the snowmelt parameters. The main objective of this study was therefore to assess alternative approaches. This study compares the performance of two temperature-based snowmelt models (with and without an additional radiation term) and two energy-balance models with different data requirements in 312 catchments in the US. It considers the impact of: (i) the meteorological forcing, by using two gridded datasets (Livneh and MERRA-2), (ii) different approaches for calibrating the snowmelt parameters (an a priori approach and one based on Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS), a remote sensing-based product) and (iii) the parameterization and structure of the hydrological model used for transforming the snowmelt signal into streamflow at the basin outlet. The results show that energy-balance-based approaches achieve the best results, closely followed by the temperature-based model including a radiation term and calibrated with SNODAS data. It is also seen that data availability and quality influence the ranking of the snowmelt models.

Cryosphere Water Resources Simulation and Service Function Evaluation in the Shiyang River Basin of Northwest China

It is urgent to understand the impact on cryospheric changes of water resources in arid regions in western China under the background of global warming. A cryospheric basin hydrological model (CBHM) was used to simulate the runoff, especially for glaciers and snowmelt water supply, in the Shiyang River Basin (SRB). A cryosphere water resources service function model was proposed to evaluate the value of cryosphere water resources. The annual average temperature increased significantly (p > 0.05) from 1961 to 2016. The runoff of glacier and snowmelt water in the SRB decreased significantly. This reduction undoubtedly greatly weakens the runoff regulation function. The calculation and value evaluation of the amount of water resources in the cryosphere of Shiyang River Basin is helpful to the government for adjusting water structure to realize sustainable development.
