Instrumenting Wildlife Water Developments to Collect Hydrometeorologic Data in Remote Nevada Catchments
… models estimating the contribution of surface water runoff to groundwater recharge often require inputs of precipitation data. However, models estimating precipitation in Nevada are based on extremely limited data, especially in remote, mid- to high-elevation catchments. Wildlife water …

Spatial Patterns and Population Performance of Mule Deer: Responses to Water Provisioning in Mojave National Preserve, California
… for vertebrate species: food, cover, space, and water (Mackie 1981). In areas where water is limited, but those other 3 components are readily available, the provisioning of water is expected to benefit populations of wildlife. Development of water sources in arid regions of the western United …

CAUSE SPECIFIC MORTALITY OF DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP LAMBS IN THE FRA CRISTOBAL MOUNTAINS, NEW MEXICO, USA
… sites, and predation sites were closer to water and roads than random sites. I suggest selective cougar control of habitual sheep killers over the short term may be an appropriate management strategy to enhance the recovery of desert bighorn populations, while recognizing the importance of …

Trapping, Survival, and Probable Causes of Mortality of Chukar Partridge
… chukars (Alectoris chukar) on artificial water sources. We compared a B-trap, a prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) walk-in trap, a modified quail recall trap, and a newly designed Utah walk-in-funnel trap. Our Utah funnel trap outperformed standard techniques by more than 65%, and …

Development of hydrate risk quantification in oil and gas production
… for various flow-systems (e.g., oil dominated, water dominated, and gas dominated) present in the oil and gas production. The objective of this research is to extend the application of the present hydrate prediction models for assessing the hydrate risk associated with subsea flowlines that are …

Hydrological factors influencing the ecology of riverbed breeding birds on the plains' reaches of Canterbury's braided rivers : a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury
… These areas are subject to existing or planned water developments which may have negative impacts on the conservation of these habitats and bird species. The principal goal of this study was to add to the information necessary to conserve lowland riverbed habitat within multiple use planning …

Water sourcing by riparian tree species in ephemaral rivers
… Floods, which occur erratically, recharge groundwater resources on which riverine vegetation depends. Trees and shrubs are the most common life forms along these river systems, because surface flows are too erratic for aquatic organisms to flourish. There is concern that alterations to the …
