Identify the Integrated Response of the Surface and Ground Water Hydrologic Systems to Climate Change

Project ID: 09FC101416

Federal Agency: U.S. Bureau of Reclamation

Partner Institution: Portland State University

Fiscal Year: 2009

Initial Funding: $15,000

Total Funding: $15,000

Project Type: Research

Project Disciplines: Biological

Principal Investigator: Hulbe, Christina

Agreement Technical Representative: Taylor, James

Abstract: This project will provide a basis for understanding probable consequences to water supply and flood risk as well as the probable effects to ecosystems. Simulated response, in the form of changes in ground-water recharge, baseflow and total river discharge, can then be applied in subsequent studies to evaluate the reliability of water supply, potential flood risk, and the effects of climate change on ecosystems and protected and endangered species.
