Title System Analysis to Improve Wetland Water Allocation at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah
Creator Kettenring, Karin M. Alminagorta, O. Rosenberg, Dory
Description This study presents a systems modeling methodology to determine the quantity of water to supply among wetland units to increase ecological performance. Ecological performance is measured by a parameter defined as weighted usable area for wetlands (WUAW). The WUAW represents the surface area available that provides suitable condition to reach specific wetland management goals and is measured in square meters. The systems model considers water depth, flow duration, and vegetation coverage as...
