A recent publication in Hydrological Processes by Wilson et al.: Urbanization of grasslands in the Denver area affects streamflow responses to rainfall events, with blog post version.
Welcome new MS student Nick Guthro!
Nick’s primary research focus involves quantifying the effects that urban irrigation has on water usage in arid regions. He is interested in sustainable land-use planning, urban water systems, water resources management and policy. Outside of research, he enjoys watching movies, playing sports, travelling, and skiing.
Welcome new PhD student Santi Ramirez Nunez! Santiago is studying urban stormwater management, implementing infiltration-focused infrastructure and rainwater harvesting for a low-impact development approach. He is interested in destigmatizing stormwater in urban environments, raising awareness about the potential value of stormwater as a resource in water-stressed communities. When not thinking about hydrology he likes going out for a walk and cooking with friends.
A recent publication in the Journal of the American Water Resources Association by Turner et al: Champions and Traditional Technocrats: The Role of Environmental Value Orientation in Stormwater Management with the blog post version at Federal regulations and individual values combine to determine what type of stormwater infrastructure is implemented.
An op-ed in Colorado Politics on why it is important to fund a statewide turf replacement program (HB22-1151) and help reduce urban water use in Colorado. In June, House Bill 22-1151 was signed into law! Colorado Water Conservation Board is developing a Turf Replacement Program for Colorado using the allocated $2 million, with FAQs here.
