Riparian Zone Evapotranspiration Using Streamflow Diel Signals, Ethan Thomas Geisler
Riparian Zone Evapotranspiration Using Streamflow Diel Signals, Ethan Thomas Geisler
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Riparian zones are crucial regions of semi-arid and arid watersheds. In the summer, riparian zones provide an important habitat for the watershed since they have sufficient water supply throughout the year. However, little is known about the impact of riparian zone evapotranspiration (ET) at a watershed scale. The use of streamflow diel signals can provide a more thorough understanding of riparian zone processes, particularly evapotranspiration. The streamflow diel signals were analyzed for Dry Creek Experimental Watershed (DCEW), for the summer of 2014, to determine riparian evapotranspiration. The riparian zone evapotranspiration was compared to a spatially distributed evapotranspiration model to determine …

Using Uavs To Establish A Visual Baseline Of Stream Flow Conditions At Usgs Stream Gauge Sites, Brett M. Kendra
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
USGS stream gauge stations associated with the National Water Information System (NWIS) accurately measure various streamflow parameters, including stage height and discharge. However, photographic documentation of streamflow conditions is severely lacking for most gauge stations. This project aimed to fill this void in documentation by capturing aerial photographs of streamflow conditions using low altitude UAV photography. The photographs were taken at two stream gauge stations within the Little Miami River watershed located in southwestern Ohio over a seven month period. This time span encompassed three seasons, beginning mid fall 2015, and ending early spring 2016. The timestamp associated with each …
