Active projects:
Developing Decision Support System for Analyzing Sedimentation Reduction Strategies for Tuttle Creek Lake
This project is aimed at enhancing the understanding of how water interacts with upland soils, slopes and land-management practices to impact water quantity and quality yields to streams and ultimately to reservoirs, and how these yields interact with unique combinations of lithology, soils, vegetation, micro-climate, and land toward achieving an environmentally sustainable and economically efficient system. The study helps to apply Decision Support System (DSS) technology to develop a Best Management Practice (BMP) allocation plan for sediment control.
John Redmond Dam and Reservoir Watershed Feasibility Study
The objective of the feasibility study is to investigate structural and nonstructural measures for ecosystem restoration and other purposes within the John Redmond Dam and Reservoir watershed. As a part of this study, we will integrate two powerful hydrological and water quality models (SWAT and CE-QUAL-W2) to simulate the combined processes of water quantity and quality both in the upland watershed and downstream waterbody.
