Optimizing Reservoir Operations To Adapt To 21st Century Expectations Of Climate And Social Change In The Willamette River Basin, Oregon, Kathleen M. Moore

Publications

Reservoir systems in the western US are managed to serve two main competing purposes: to reduce flooding during the winter and spring, and to provide water supply for multiple uses during the summer.

To date, this changing role of fossil fuel facilities has not been thoughtfully evaluated in Clean Air Act permitting decisions for new and modified sources, even though the Act requires consideration of all …
