“Over the break, I took an amazing class on motivating change! It helped me realize that you are the problem and I need to motivate you! Buckle up and prepare to be inspired!" - @ass_deans

Elaine J. Hanford's Bulletin Boards: 1) Geoscience; 2) Environmental Science; 3) Coastal Zone Management - 17 January 2022

As we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, I am reminded of Taylor Branch's incredible trilogy, America in the King Years.

 

From Wikipedia:

Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954–63, the first book in the trilogy, was published in 1988. Events detailed in this volume include the Montgomery bus boycott, the 1961 Freedom Rides, the 1963 Birmingham campaign and Children's Crusade, and the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

It shared the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for History with James McPherson's history of the American Civil War, Battle Cry of Freedom.^[6] It also won the 1988 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction,^[7] and was a 1989 finalist for the National Book Award in the Non-Fiction category.^[8]

The cover of the book uses a reversed portion of the iconic photograph of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery taken by Look magazine photographer James Karales.

The second volume, Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years, 1963–65, was published in 1998. It covers such events as the Assassination of President Kennedy, the Mississippi Freedom Summer, and King's acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The final book in the trilogy, At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years, 1965–1968, was published in 2006. Among the subjects it covers are the Selma to Montgomery marches, the 1966 Chicago Open Housing Movement, Dr. King's participation in the Anti-Vietnam War movement, the Watts Riots, and the events leading up to King's assassination.

It was the winner of the Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prize for Non-Fiction in 2006.

Enjoy!

My Ten Cents: Lake Abert Redux - Who Cares?

The Old Days
On 9 July 2014 I wrote a blog post entitled, Lake Abert's Desiccation: Natural or Not? Why Not Find Out?. It was a response to an earlier excellent article by The Oregonian's Rob Davis: Oregon’s only saltwater lake is disappearing, and scientists don't know why. Davis also wrote: 5 things you should know about Lake Abert, Oregon's disappearing salt lake.   

So?  

The Present Day
Imagine my surprise this morning when a picture of a desiccated Lake Abert graced the front page (above the fold) of The Sunday Oregonian, with the headline What killed Lake Abert? Once again, Rob Davis was the reporter.

The story picked up where the 2014 article ended. It related the work of Amy Simpson, then a Oregon Department of Environment Quality engineer who decided, on her own (can you spell i-n-i-a-t-i-v-e?), to get to the bottom of Lake Abert's lack of water.

At this juncture, let me note the motto on ODEQ's homepage:

Uh-huh.

From the article:

Simpson estimated that the River’s End Reservoir, constructed in 1994 with government subsidies immediately upstream from Lake Abert, had kept billions of gallons of water from reaching the lake. In a dry year like 2014, the difference was a death blow.

She shared those preliminary findings with her manager and others inside the department and proposed asking another state agency to require the reservoir to release water. But Simpson said her manager, Steve Mrazik, called her into his office and abruptly halted her efforts after a summer 2015 meeting of high-ranking officials from five state agencies, including the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, which helped build the reservoir.

“I stopped working on this project because my manager told me to stop working on it,” Simpson, an engineer who left the environmental agency in 2018, told The Oregonian/OregonLive. “I asked why, but was told it was a managerial decision and was not given a reason.”

Simpson said she asked to finish analyzing the reservoir’s impact on the lake but was told by Mrazik “all work must stop.”

Mrazik didn’t respond to questions from The Oregonian/OregonLive. A Department of Environmental Quality spokesperson, Harry Esteve, said in an email the agency decided “at the time that there was no significant action we could take.”

More:

The reservoir isn’t solely responsible for Lake Abert’s decline. The precipitation that feeds the lake has dwindled. Last year was the driest since at least 1979. Ranches upstream long ago laid claim to river water that would reach the lake to instead irrigate crops like alfalfa. Still, scientists who study the lake say the reservoir has harmed Lake Abert and should release more water to it.

So what should be done?

My Ten Cents
1) ODEQ should immediately resurrect the Simpson report (hire her as a consultant if need be) and get other relevant agencies (ODFW, OWRD, USFWS, BLM, USGS, et al.) and some academics/consultants to comment.

2) Support the legislation proposed by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) to provide research funding. I would like to see the funding to include others beside the USGS - some academics would be appropriate. 

3) If (2) doesn't fly, try to cobble together some funds to induce some academics to perform the research.

4) Investigate the effects of PacificCorp's proposed pumped-storage facilities on Lake Abert. This project would require four new reservoirs.

5) Investigate the concept of water rights for Lake Abert.  

6) Try to assess the steady-state size/volume of Lake Abert (see below)

 It should be noted that Lake Abert and nearby Summer Lake are all that remain of Lake Chewaucan, a huge freshwater lake that existed over 15,000 years ago along with Lake Bonneville (Great Salt Lake) and Lake Lahontan (Pyramid Lake and others). So Lake Abert is much smaller than it once was and is likely seeking an equilibrium of some sort after beig in decline for c. 15,000 years

Shout-out to Rob Davis.

"Those agencies, all they need is the slimmest excuse not to show interest in natural resources that are being impacted. East of the Cascades, it’s still the Wild West. People do what they want to do with the environment and the agencies just turn their back.” - Ron Larson, retired USFWS biologist (quoted in the article)

CRS InFocus Report: 'Climate and Security in the Middle East and North Africa'

Jeremy M. Sharp, Nicole T. Carter and Kezee Procita have updated (12 January 2022) this CRS InFocus report: 'Climate and Security in the Middle East and North Africa'.

I have pasted the entire two-pager.

Download CRS_InFocus_Rpt_Climate_Security_MENA_12Jan2022

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is among the world’s most water-stressed and vulnerable to climate change impacts. Policymakers’ concerns about a changing MENA climate include not only physical and economic impacts but also the potential implications for political stability and security in a volatile region.

A Dry Region Under Stress
Projections of various effects of climate change on the largely arid and semi-arid MENA region are available, although regional analyses are often constrained by limited data for MENA and downscaling from global models. Given MENA’s geographic span—from Morocco to Iran— and topographic variation (e.g., mountains, deserts, and deltas), local effects may differ from regional trends.

Heat. Temperatures in the MENA region have increased for decades and are projected to continue increasing through the end of the century. Figure 1 shows one projection of hottest day temperature increases by 2040. Some research suggests intensification of warm-season heat extremes in the region (e.g., Zittis et al. in Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2021). Hotter conditions generally increase energy demand for cooling and may negatively affect health, labor, and agricultural productivity.

Water. Both droughts and floods occur in MENA, with variability over time and place. Several studies project increasingly lengthy droughts in some parts of MENA, including annual dry spells projected to last longer by 2040 (Figure 1). Many (but not all) studies project less precipitation along MENA’s Mediterranean coast through this century; less agreement exists regarding whether precipitation may increase or decrease in other parts of the MENA region (e.g., Arabian Peninsula, Sahara portion of various North Africa countries). Regarding precipitation extremes, some studies (e.g., Ozturk et al. in Atmosphere, 2021) project an increase in precipitation amounts on very wet days for the end of this century for much of the region, which may contribute to flooding.

Rising sea levels are encroaching on MENA coastlines and communities, thereby contributing to more frequent flooding and more extensive coastal storm flooding. According to some researchers, by 2050, portions of Iraq’s second-largest city of Basra and other southern Iraqi areas could experience chronic coastal flooding. Alexandria, Egypt, one of the most populous coastal cities in the Middle East, also could be regularly flooded by rising sea levels.

Agriculture and Food. Much of MENA’s agriculture and food production is rain-fed or consists of livestock. Production and many rural agricultural livelihoods are sensitive to changes in heat, drought, and precipitation patterns. Additionally, some production in the region relies on irrigation, which can be sensitive to surface water availability and can contribute to overuse of aquifers. Limited arable land, water scarcity, and other resource and environmental constraints limit regional agricultural production. The region has coped with population growth and urbanization by importing food. Reliance on food imports is anticipated to persist, with demographic and diet trends and changing agricultural growing conditions (e.g., potential productivity losses) as contributing factors.

How Climate May Interact with Security
U.S. national security assessments have described climate change as a threat multiplier that may exacerbate existing tensions in regions facing other challenges, such as intrastate conflict, rapid population growth, urbanization, or poor governance. The chain of linkages from climate and weather events to political stability is complex, with intervening critical factors such as social schisms and governance. In the MENA region, where several countries (e.g., Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon) are divided along ethnic/sectarian lines, armed substate actors and terrorist groups could broaden their appeal to sectors of the population disaffected by physical hardships wrought by climate change.

Various examples illustrate how climate conditions and weather events, such as droughts and heatwaves, could affect MENA’s future in terms of political unrest, violent conflicts, and the well-being of its people. For instance, rising or spiking food prices or water shortages previously have triggered urban unrest in the region. Reliance on food imports links MENA’s internal stability to agricultural conditions in exporting nations. Poor conditions in agricultural exporting countries contributed to reduced MENA food imports and associated food shortages in 2010-2011. In the case of Syria, decades of land and groundwater overuse in the nation’s breadbasket, combined with a 2006-2010 drought and periods of spiking global oil and food prices, played a part in agricultural workers migrating to cities, where many were unable to find employment. When Syria’s uprising began in 2011, disaffected rural migrants formed the base of opposition against the regime of President Bashar al Asad. In North Africa, local protests about water shortages reportedly occurred in 2017-2018. In Iraq, observers identified droughts as undermining rural Sunni livelihoods, which some argue may have helped fuel Islamic State recruitment. 

Climate change is anticipated to challenge the capacities to adapt of poorer countries and politically unstable governments. For example, in Iraq, rising daily temperatures and more frequent heat extremes since the 1970s contribute to the demand for air conditioning. Peak summer electricity demand has exceeded generation capacity in Iraq’s electricity sector, which has been affected by decades of war, corruption, and government mismanagement. Some public protests have expressed frustration over power shortages, as many Iraqis cannot afford private generators to cope with summer heat. Studies for the World Bank project that reduced water availability in the region may contribute to a decrease in gross domestic product over time.

Variations across MENA in national wealth and state capacity to respond to climate and weather events may lead to different efforts toward adaptation, such as improving regional drought monitoring, investing in water conservation and efficiency (e.g., Israel’s water reuse), and shifting to more heat-resilient crop varieties. Regional water and energy cooperation also may expand. In November 2021, Israel, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to a plan in which the UAE will finance the construction of solar power capacity in Jordan for electricity export to Israel in exchange for Israel supplying desalinated water to water-stressed Jordan.

Energy and Emissions Policies
Some oil-rich members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC, composed of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain) have undertaken efforts to diversify their economies. In 2021, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud announced that Saudi Arabia, the world’s second-largest oil producer, seeks to generate half of its domestic energy from renewable sources by 2030; this target is part of the Crown Prince’s “Vision 2030” to diversify the kingdom’s economy away from hydrocarbons. However, these types of pledges haveengendered some skepticism. If the United States and Europe reduce their hydrocarbon dependency and domestic production, GCC state-owned oil companies may increase production to meet rising energy demands from China, India, and elsewhere.

Other MENA countries that are net hydrocarbon importers are adjusting or may adjust their energy policies. For example, Morocco has attempted to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports and aims to generate over half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 (e.g., by building concentrated solar power capacity). Morocco’s government announced in 2019 that renewable sources composed an estimated 35% of its electricity production the prior year.

The November 2021 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties (COP26) yielded a series of global discussions and agreements focused on greenhouse-gas emissions reductions and other topics. Most countries—including many MENA countries—updated their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in 2021. NDCs represent each country’s commitment to meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement (PA), a UNFCCC agreement intended to reduce the effects of climate change. In addition to NDCs, some countries have pledged to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain. Stakeholders have expressed that even these updated commitments may be insufficient for lessening all of the potential impacts of climate change. Egypt is the host country for COP27 in 2022. Egypt has not submitted an updated NDC; however; at COP 26, the country announced its National Climate Change Strategy 2050 and signaled interest in enhancing attention to climate change’s water impacts at COP27.

Recent Related U.S. Efforts and Policies
In April 2021, President Biden hosted a summit on climate for 40 world leaders, including some leaders from the MENA region. At the summit, the Biden Administration committed to exerting U.S. leadership in addressing climate change. The Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development are to coordinate “U.S. government efforts to support countries around the world to enhance and meet their climate goals in ways that further their national development priorities.” The White House also announced a “Net-Zero Producers Forum,” composed of the United States, Canada, Norway, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, for developing ideas to reduce energy-related emissions. At COP26, the United States and the UAE launched the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate to support innovation and research to enhance climate resiliency and reduce emissions in the global agriculture sector. The Biden Administration has signaled a role in MENA for the Build Back Better World initiative, a G7-partnership for investment in developing countries’ large-scale infrastructure projects, with climate change mitigation and adaptation among the initiative’s objectives.

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 8 - 14 January 2022

Friend, colleague and hydrogeologist extraordinaire W. Todd Jarvis and his former student Jakob Wiley have published a new book, Collective Aquifer Governance: Dispute Prevention for Groundwater and Aquifers through Unitization.

Here is the PDF (see 20% discount information): 

Download 9781107172081_Collective Aquifer Governance_Flyer

 Here's the blurb:

Current models of groundwater governance focus principally on the allocation of water, rather than taking a holistic approach incorporating valuable storage space in the aquifer, as well as the transformative changes in managed recharge of manufactured water, storm water, and carbon. Effective implementation of a more modern approach now calls for rethink of both scale and jurisdictional boundaries. This involves linking public and private aspects of water quantity, water quality, geothermal regulation, property rights, subsurface storage rights, water marketing, water banking, legal jurisdictions, and other components into a single governance document. This style of agreement stands in contrast to the siloed approach currently applied to aquifer resources. Using case studies, and an activity inspired by gaming concepts to explore the incentives, and challenges to aquifer governance approaches, this book demonstrates how application of the principles of unitization agreements to aquifers could provide a new approach to aquifer governance models.

Looks great. Enjoy!
