Great article in Eos about all the benefits derived from the USDA-ARS's Experimental Watersheds program.
I remember the Walnut Creek Experimental Watershed in Tombstone, AZ. There were some great hydrologists and hydraulic engineers like Roger Smith working on the perplexing problem of accurately measuring/simulating the discharge of ephemeral streams where the discharge would go from zero to 10,000 cfs in the blink of an eye. I also recall the words of my officemate Roger Peebles as he grappled with that same topic for his PhD dissertation.
Here is the abstract from the paper in Water Resources Research:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture‐Agricultural Research Service's (ARS) Experimental Watershed Network grew from Dust Bowl era efforts of the Soil Conservation Service in the mid‐1930s with the establishment of small experimental watersheds. In the 1950s, five watershed research centers with intensively instrumented watersheds at the scale of 100 to 700 km2 were established. Primary network research objectives were to quantify on‐site and downstream effects of conservation practices and develop rainfall‐runoff relationships for design of water conservation structures. With passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972, research objectives have evolved to add a variety of observations relevant to the water quality issues. Many of the watersheds within the network have served, and continue to serve, as core validation sites for satellite sensors. As a result of the network's long history and intensive monitoring, coupled with mission‐driven research, a deep knowledge base of watershed processes has been developed. This has led to the extensive development and validation of numerous watershed models that are in widespread use today. The visionary investments in building and maintaining this network and associated scientific investigations for more than half a century have not only resulted in numerous high‐impact research accomplishments but also a wide array of accomplishments that directly benefit society. The ARS Experimental Watersheds formed the core of the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) as well as the recently established Long‐Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network. LTAR will expand the mission of the ARS Watersheds Network to include agricultural intensification, maintaining or improving ecosystem services while enhancing rural prosperity.
Enjoy!

Introduction
Climate change—changes in the average or variability of weather conditions that persist over long time scales (e.g., multiple decades or longer) —and related global changes can threaten human health; the economy; the built environment; and the natural world, including wildlife, plants, and the ecosystems upon which they rely. Many scientists, governments, and organizations have researched climate change, documented its experienced effects, projected potential effects, and undertaken activities to respond to it. Scientists have demonstrated the effects of climate change already realized around the world, and they project that climate changes will intensify in future decades.
Climate change has been observed directly (e.g., in long-term temperature and extreme weather records).5 The changes can affect plant growth rates, water availability, energy demand, and many other aspects of human and natural systems; these changes can be beneficial or adverse, can change over time and across regions, and can influence other stressors, such as poverty, famine, and water stress.6 Effects of climate change are spatially variable, with some regions more affected than others. For some degrees of climate change, certain regions may see benefits (e.g., longer growing seasons) in addition to stressors. Projections for climate change and its effects over the coming decades span a wide range and depend on many factors (e.g., current and future greenhouse gas emissions). Ultimately, the magnitude of the effects of climate change over time will depend on actions taken to adapt to and mitigate climate change (see text box “Adaptation Versus Mitigation”)
Issues for Congress
DOI and its agencies have undertaken various climate change adaptation activities over the years, many of which were conducted in accordance with government-wide and DOI- or agency- specific authorities. Many of these activities were undertaken pursuant to executive and secretarial orders, and selected climate change adaptation activities continued to operate in some capacity during the Trump Administration. Selected orders from previous Administrations, such as the Obama Administration, that initiated certain adaptation activities were revoked during the Trump Administration, at times resulting in the cessation of certain activities. Other adaptation activities have been undertaken pursuant to statutorily authorized programs or congressional directions or when compatible with statutory purposes. The status of some adaptation activities also is unclear, and activities may have been altered, suspended, or set aside at times. Further, with available information, it can be difficult to identify the full breadth of climate change adaptation activities that DOI and its agencies have undertaken and the current status of such activities.
One concrete measure of how approaches to climate change adaptation have changed throughout the years and across Administrations is the issuing, amending, and/or revoking of executive and secretarial orders related to climate change adaptation. Generally, climate change-related executive and secretarial orders issued during the Trump Administration focused on rescinding climate adaptation orders, including several executive and secretarial orders that required various climate change adaptation activities to be conducted, issued during prior Administrations. Rather, the Trump Administration focused on certain other activities, including energy production. As a result, there apparently was less focus on undertaking new DOI-wide climate adaptation initiatives during the Trump Administration than during some previous Administrations, although agencies within DOI continued to implement certain policies and programs relevant to climate change adaptation.
The extent to which individual agencies within DOI were pursuing climate change adaptation activities at the end of 2020 varied by agency and activity and, in some cases, is unclear. For example, pursuant to the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020,140 USGS was required to establish a new Midwest CASC and FWS was required to provide a report updating Congress on the status of the LCC network. However, information regarding the status of these activities was not publicly available at the time of this report’s publication. As of the end of 2020, the National and Regional CASCs were operational, and FWS reportedly was providing scientific support for the LCC network but was no longer providing direct funding to the individual cooperatives.
In other instances, climate change adaptation activities undertaken by DOI agencies have been more readily identifiable. For example, the USGS’s scientific and monitoring activities listed above that directly and indirectly relate to climate change adaptation are documented examples where climate change adaptation activities have continued. In addition, the USGS commitment in 2020 to report to DOI on significant new findings in climate science and advances in best practices for incorporating climate information into planning and policymaking activities reflects ongoing climate change adaptation activities.
In its oversight capacity and to bolster its legislative activities, Congress may be interested in seeking additional information related to the full breadth of climate change adaptation activities within DOI and its agencies that have been undertaken pursuant to both administrative directives and statutory requirements, as well as the current status of such activities. Congress has shown this type of interest in the past; for example, Congress has required DOI or its agencies to produce reports—at times with potential repercussions for an agency’s appropriations—to inform Congress on the status of certain activities. For example, in FY2020 Congress required FWS to provide a report on the status of the LCC program prior to receiving certain appropriated funds. In addition to oversight of ongoing programs, some Members of Congress in the 116th Congress expressed interest in pursuing legislation related to climate change adaption.
A more complete public understanding of DOI’s climate change adaptation activities, such as those presented herein, may be useful to inform congressional responsibilities for authorizations, appropriations, and oversight. For example, Members of Congress may be interested in examining legislation related to whether, how, or under what circumstances DOI agencies might incorporate climate change adaptation activities into the pursuit of fulfilling their statutory responsibilities.
Enjoy!

Lance N. Larson penned this CRS report (22 February 2021): 'Long-Term Federal Management of Uranium Mill Tailings: Background and Issues for Congress' .

Overview
In the wake of increasing concerns in the 1970s about human health and environmental risks posed by inactive uranium mill tailings, Congress enacted the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (UMTRCA). Uranium milling operations generate uranium concentrate, also known as yellowcake uranium, and waste material, called tailings, which can harbor and liberate radioactive and nonradioactive constituents.
Title I of UMTRCA authorized a remedial action program for uranium mill tailings sites that were inactive prior to 1978, which produced uranium concentrate under federal procurement contracts primarily for nuclear weapons and other defense purposes. Title II of UMTRCA authorized the regulation of uranium mills and tailings sites that were operating on or after the law’s enactment, which largely produced uranium concentrate for civilian nuclear power plants. UMTRCA does not provide regulatory authority over uranium mining (the physical removal of uranium ore from the earth), waste material produced from uranium mining, or remediation of inactive uranium mine sites. The Department of Energy (DOE) is the federal agency responsible for implementing the remedial action program and administering long-term federal management of the tailings.
The site remediation costs have exceeded costs originally envisioned by Congress, the agencies, and the licensees due to an evolving understanding of the complexities and risks posed by unintended releases of contaminants from uranium mill tailings. As part of the remediation action, the uranium mill tailings are enclosed in engineered repositories, located at disposal sites, which are designed to prevent unintended release of potentially hazardous constituents for hundreds of years. DOE’s authority to perform surface remediation at Title I sites expired on September 30, 1998. Groundwater contamination has compounded the technical complexity and timeline of remedial actions at certain sites. Congress amended UMTRCA in 1988 to authorize DOE to perform groundwater remediation without expiration under the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Amendments Act (UMTRA).
UMTRCA requires the transfer of both Title I and Title II disposal sites to long-term federal management. As of FY2020, the Department of Energy, Office of Legacy Management (DOE-LM) administers long-term federal management at 31 Title I sites, excluding the site at Moab, UT. Title II sites are regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or an NRC agreement state and transferred to DOE-LM for long-term federal management when NRC, or the state, determines that applicable standards have been met. As of FY2020, 6 of 29 Title II sites have transferred to DOE-LM, and 23 Title II sites remain privately owned under an NRC or an agreement state license. DOE-LM expects to take long-term management responsibilities of the 23 remaining Title II sites by 2048.
Under UMTRCA, Congress established that the federal government pay for long-term monitoring and maintenance costs at Title I sites, subject to annual appropriations to DOE-LM. For Title II sites, Congress intended that the licensee would pay for any long-term management costs with a one-time long-term surveillance charge (LTSC). In the event that the LTSCs are not sufficient to cover annual monitoring and maintenance costs, DOE-LM would be responsible to carry out long-term management responsibilities, subject to availability of annual appropriations.
The long-term management efforts to stabilize tailings and monitor groundwater have proven more challenging, and expensive, than originally expected. The federal government will be responsible for long-term management of all UMTRCA sites once transferred to DOE-LM. Potential oversight issues for Congress may include understanding the decommissioning and transfer status of the remaining Title II sites, the adequacy of funding to complete decommissioning at certain sites if the licensee is unable to fulfill its obligations, and the adequacy of LTSCs to meet future management needs.
Not a good optic, as they say.
Enjoy!
