Water Supply Analysis for Restoring the Colorado River Delta, Mexico
This paper employs an economic-engineering optimization model to explore water supply options for environmental restoration of the Colorado River Delta, Mexico. Potential water sources include reductions in local agricultural and urban water use through water markets, wastewater reuse, and additional Colorado River flows from the United States. For these alternatives, the optimization model est...
متن کاملSelenium impacts on razorback sucker, Colorado: Colorado River III. Larvae.
Razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus) larvae from adults exposed to selenium at three sites near Grand Junction, Colorado, for 9 months were used in a 30-day waterborne and dietary selenium study. Selenium concentrations in water averaged <1.6 microg/L from 24-Road, 0.9 microg/L from Horsethief, 5.5 microg/L from Adobe Creek, and 10.7 microg/L from the North Pond. Selenium in dietary items avera...
متن کاملModeling river delta formation.
A model to simulate the time evolution of river delta formation process is presented. It is based on the continuity equation for water and sediment flow and a phenomenological sedimentation/erosion law. Different delta types are reproduced by using different parameters and erosion rules. The structures of the calculated patterns are analyzed in space and time and compared with real data pattern...
متن کاملThe Lower Colorado River : A Western System
--A historic look at the Colorado River will illustrate the dras tic effects of human activity on most Western rivers. Engineering features for the management of water and electric power have resulted in increased evapora tion, associated salinity, and other physicochemical changes; drastic reduction in many native plant and animal populations; increasing populations of intro duced species; ...
متن کاملEcological and Toxicological Conditions in the Delta Volga River
The decrease in the level of industrial production and the significant reduction of highly toxic substances used in the agriculture of the Volga region in the last decade did not maintain the expected decrease of pollution level in the Volga water. Concentration of many polluting substances in water continues to remain high. Among the numerous polluting substances in the Volga River two groups ...
