Sustainably Managing Groundwater - Surface Water Interactions Within The Santa Rosa Plain Basin, Rhianna Frank
Sustainably Managing Groundwater - Surface Water Interactions Within The Santa Rosa Plain Basin, Rhianna Frank
Master's Projects and Capstones
In this paper, I designed a strategy for implementation of sustainably managing groundwater-surface water interactions in the Santa Rosa Plain Basin in compliance with the requirements set forth by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014. The research objectives for this analysis are: (1) to fully examine the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and the implications that implementation will have on the Santa Rosa Plain Basin, (2) to use technical data gathered regionally coupled with related policy design theory to analyze how groundwater and surface water interactions can be managed to meet the requirements set forth in this …
Causal Fire Relationships In Sonoma County & Identification Of Suitable Fire Management Strategies, Allison Howlett
Causal Fire Relationships In Sonoma County & Identification Of Suitable Fire Management Strategies, Allison Howlett
Master's Projects and Capstones
Acknowledging recent wildfires that have set historic fire size records in both Northern and Southern California, it is important to understand what impacts can be expected and how variations in regional characteristics can influence fire severity. Combining a long history of droughts alongside periodic rain events this paper considers the causal fire relationships and fire management strategies necessary for implementation for future fire size and fire severity reduction in Sonoma County. Throughout this paper a subset of questions are answered regarding fire severity, precipitation, erosion and sediment response. Methods include the examination of peer-reviewed articles and grey sources to identify …
