1 NH Water Resources Research Center William H. McDowell, Director Michelle Daley, Associate Director University of New Hampshire
2 Overview Mission Facilitate research, education, and outreach focused on NH and New England water resources Resources About $93k annually from the Interior Department appropriation, coming from the USGS budget. Federal funds must be matched 2:1 with non-federal funds. Authorized but not in President s budget for last 8 years. Partnerships USGS, Green Mountain Conservation Group (Ossipee River), Lamprey River Watershed Association/Advisory Committee, periodic DES projects, other watershed groups
3 Funding Allocation 15% administration Manage granting process, interact with USGS budget office, participate in National Institute of Water Resources (NIWR) meetings and programmatic planning 25% outreach Web site, presentations to local communities and watershed groups, service on advisory committees 60% funded projects Long-term water quality trends, impacts of land use on water quality, Great Bay groundwater input water quality, seed funding for NH Water Conference
4 Facilities and Staff 1. Water Quality Analysis Laboratory (WQAL) (2 FT staff) 40,000 water quality analyses annually Nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, major cations and anions Support of research projects by UNH faculty, graduate students, watershed groups, and faculty/grads from other universities 2. Lamprey River Hydrologic Observatory (LRHO) (1 FT staff) Ad hoc faculty consortium started in 2001 by McDowell, Davis and others Dedicated to understanding long-term drivers of water resources in suburbanizing basin
5 LRHO why the Lamprey? Large enough to be important part to NH, small enough to be workable (472 km 2 at USGS gauge) Predicted population growth very rapid (50% over 20 yrs) Variety of land use (ag, urban, rural, wetlands) Mainly septic disposal, but also one STP In-stream flow issues important Federal Wild and Scenic River Active Watershed Association
6 Long-term vision Platform for teaching, research, and outreach on watershed science and ecosystem ecology at UNH (Natural Resources and Earth Sciences Departments) Same approach and tool set as LTER or CUAHSI Hydrologic Observatory Site at which fundamental understanding of biogeochemical cycles can be readily applied to management issues
7 Research Questions 1. Are there long-term trends in Lamprey River chemistry driven by suburbanization? 2. Can variability in sub-basin surface water and groundwater chemistry be predicted by watershed attributes? 3. What drives long-term N balance in the Lamprey River watershed?
