Target Audience:Interdisciplinary academic audiences Water management professionals Changes/Problems:No changes or problems to report. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This project provided professional training for one post-doctoral fellow, five graduate students, and some other professional and student research staff over the five-year period of the project. This training and professional development focused on policy analysis, social science analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration regarding understanding human use and interactions with water resources. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The various research activities undertaken through UAES 1120 have had a positive scientific and policy impact in Utah. The target audiences for the research results from AES Project 1120 were interdisciplinary academics, water policy decision makers, and water management professionals. Research products were disseminated through a variety of mediums meant to reach these diverse audiences: publications (19), research project reports (3), videos (3), and presentations at national conferences, invited public and policy forums, and seminars at USU and other universities (33). However, these professional products do not fully capture additional avenues through which knowledge gained through the research activities was conveyed. I also attended many water meetings, was active in water conservation groups, and engaged in a variety of discussions about state water issues. Two high profile examples of this engagement are offered here. First, I served on the Governor's Water Strategy Advisory Team from 2014-2017 which delivered a 50-year State Water Strategy to Governor Herbert on July 19, 2017. This activity involved many meetings, deliberations, and writing tasks over that four-year period and I made substantial contributions to that water policy effort. Second, based on the policy analysis Lisa Welsh and I produced about formation of a water district in Cache County, we were asked to speak at many public information forums and played a key role in providing voter information for the initiative on a Cache Water District that passed in November 2016. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?This is a final report so there is nothing to report in terms of a plan of work.

What was accomplished under these goals?
OBJECTIVE 1 - Water Policy Analysis. -Changes occurring due to urbanization of the Wasatch Front Metropolitan Area and to water provision vulnerabilities due to climate change have affected the information needs of water policy decision makers and managers. Water policy analysis found that urban land use change occurs without explicit consideration of the long-term implications for water availability, especially in the rapidly urbanizing Wasatch Range Metropolitan Area of Utah. In investigating water policy preferences of Utahns surveyed as part of the iUTAH project, we found strong public support for water policies, programs and management strategies that promote urban water conservation, agricultural preservation, and environmental protection. -Further policy analysis focused on rural-to-urban water transfers, water decision making in the face of multiple forms of uncertainty and risk, formation of a water conservancy district in Utah's Cache County, and urban flood hazards. Common themes in our contributions to the literature relate to challenges of providing water for growing populations and economies in arid regions of the USA Intermountain West and the needed elements of decision-making processes and governance structures to deal with those challenges. A key finding is the importance of path dependencies in water management decisions and the difficulties of changing paths after significant investments have been made in a particular management approach. OBJECTIVE 2 - Agricultural Adaptations to Drought and Climate Change. -Water use and social analyses examined agricultural adaptations to drought and climate change in the Bear River, Weber and Provo River Basins. The analysis focused on infrastructure upgrades, new water metering and communication technologies, and proposed water banking strategies. Findings indicate the need for paradigm shifts in investment decisions for water infrastructure, how agricultural water rights are being protected and/or transferred in the urbanization process in Utah, and how water banking strategies and other mechanisms can facilitate flexibility within western water law. Agricultural adaptations to drought and climate change were found to be necessary but challenging in light of over-allocation of water and proposed water transfers (via a pipeline to Las Vegas that would tap Snake Valley groundwater, and via water rights transfers in urbanizing areas throughout Utah). OBJECTIVE 3 - Urban Landscape Water Use. - Research conducted in collaboration with the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District (WBWCD) regarding meter implementation on pressurized secondary irrigation systems showed that information feedback on water used in comparison to water needed to maintain landscapes provided people with an informational incentive to conserve water. Significant amounts of landscape water were conserved in the year following meter installation. WBWCD decided to start a phased retrofit of their retail secondary irrigation connections (17,000+) and implemented a policy requiring that all new connections within their service area be metered. Over the past 5 years (2012-2016), WBWCD has documented that, on average, metered connections (n=4,990) use 34% less water annually (0.61 acre-feet per connection) than un-metered locations (0.92 acre-feet per connection). - WaterMAPS™ analysis of urban landscape water use efficiency in Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and Salt Lake City showed that urban landscape water use is generally two to three times, on average, of what is needed to maintain landscapes in healthy conditions. Factors contributing to overuse of water involve the interface of people with their yards through irrigation technologies that are not designed, maintained and operated effectively. We demonstrated that providing site specific information to water customers on their capacity to conserve enhanced their conservation savings. - WaterMAPS™ software was redesigned to utilize additional data inputs and to enhance functionality for providing a portal for individual water customers to utilize the software independent of their water utilities, which will increase its pool of potential adoptees. Work continues on identifying key factors contributing to overuse of water at particular locations through two on-going projects: 1) a baseline analysis of water use patterns in Eagle Mountain City, Utah, and, 2) development of a web app for property managers with multiple facilities in different locations. OBJECTIVE 4 - Water for Wetlands in Federal Wildlife Refuges. - Interdisciplinary research on the political-ecology of wetlands in the Bear River Basin and Great Salt Lake Watershed was conducted. Federal refuges in the Bear River Basin, particularly the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, are utilizing the wetlands' water rights inventory and analysis, conducted by Downard and Endter-Wada (2013) and Welsh et al. (2013), in their operations. In fulfilling this objective, we have developed a rich and rewarding collaborative research group that is continuing to assess wetland ecological health, public policies and management approaches that support healthy wetlands, and the ecological and policy connections between wetland and lake ecosystems.

Target Audience:Target Audience Interdisciplinary academic audiences Water management professionals Changes/Problems:Changes/Problems Changes to this project consist of expanding the scope of some of the objectives to pursue new but related research opportunities. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Opportunities This project provided one USU post-doctoral researcher (Lisa Welsh), three USU PhD students (Clint Carney, Enjie Li, and Ivy Thompson), and one USU MS student (Bonnie Roos) with thematic foci for their research work in water policy, planning and management. This work also involved post-doctoral fellows and young faculty from other universities. I have worked to find synergies between this research and other funded research projects (particularly with my research role in iUTAH and other funded projects) and between this research and applied research that can be conducted through Extension outreach. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Dissemination To date, dissemination has consisted primarily of peer-reviewed publications, other types of professional publications, presentations at national conferences, invited public presentations, and seminars at USU and other universities. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Plan of Work Research work will continue on all project objectives in the coming year but emphasis will be placed on furthering the objectives in this order of priority: 4, 3, 2, 1. Additional publications contributing to this project are in process with peer-reviewed journal articles currently in these stages of the publication process: 1 in press; 1 accepted subject to minor revisions; 1 revised and resubmitted; 1 in review; 2 drafted with plans to submit in January 2017; and at least 6 more planned for submission in 2017. Additional opportunities to expand and further the work will be pursued through proposals submitted for external funding.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Accomplishments Objective 1- Analyze foundational legal principles and public deliberations over water policy designs to address changing societal contexts in the Intermountain West: Work accomplished in 2016 that supports this objective focused on policy analysis of rural-to-urban water transfers, water decision making in the face of multiple forms of uncertainty and risk, formation of a water conservancy district in Cache County-Utah, and urban flood hazards. Common themes from the various peer-reviewed publications that were produced relate to the challenges of providing water for growing populations and economies in arid regions of the USA Intermountain West and to the needed elements of decision-making processes and governance structures to deal with those challenges. A key finding is the importance of path dependencies in water management decisions and the difficulties of changing paths after significant investments have been made in a particular management approach. Three post-doctoral researchers (not all located at USU) were involved in work on meeting this objective. Objective 2 - Examine agricultural adaptations to drought and climate change in the Bear River Basin and Weber River Basin, particularly in relation to infrastructure upgrades, new water metering and communication technologies, and proposed water banking strategies: Research meeting this objective focused on the Bear River, Snake Valley, and larger Wasatch Front regions in Utah. Water infrastructure needs were analyzed as part of the challenges facing Utah decision makers, with findings pointing to the need for paradigm shifts in investment decisions. Water banking was found to be an important opportunity presented by formation of a conservancy district in Cache County, Utah. Agricultural adaptations to drought and climate change were found to be necessary but challenging in light of over-allocation of water and proposed water transfers (via a pipeline to Las Vegas that would tap Snake Valley groundwater, and via water rights transfers in urbanizing areas throughout Utah). A USU post-doctoral fellow and an M.S. student were involved in research to meet this objective. Objective 3 - Refine urban landscape water use analysis, assessment, monitoring and information tools to promote conservation of water in municipal culinary and pressurized secondary water systems and to aid cities in water conservation policy formulation, planning efforts, and program development: Work supporting this objective focused on redesigning portions of the WaterMAPS™ software to utilize additional data inputs and to enhance functionality for providing a portal for individual water customers to utilize the software independent of their water utilities. Two new Extension and applied research projects were initiated in 2016: 1) one with the City of Eagle Mountain, Utah to conduct baseline analyses of water use patterns throughout the city; and, 2) one with a large non-profit property owner with multiple facilities in different locations. Through both projects, we are undertaking landscape water use analyses with the objective of identifying key factors contributing to overuse of water at particular locations. A research associate and a Ph.D. student were involved in meeting this research objective. Objective 4 - Investigate ways in which water policies and management strategies can enhance provision of water for wetlands in federal wildlife refuges to maintain the environmental benefits and services these areas provide: My collaborations continue with other researchers and educators on work related to wetlands of the Great Salt Lake. We are working together on research and outreach activities that assesses wetland ecological health and the public policies and management approaches that can support healthy wetlands. This research objective is being expanded to look at the ecological and policy connections between wetland and lake ecosystems.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Accomplishments Objective 1: Analyze foundational legal principles and public deliberations over water policy designs to address changing societal contexts in the Intermountain West. Work supporting this objective found that urban land use change occurs without explicit consideration of the long-term implications for water availability, especially in the rapidly urbanizing Wasatch Range Metropolitan Area of Utah. In investigating water policy preferences of Utahns surveyed as part of the iUTAH project, we found strong public support for water policies, programs and management strategies that promote urban water conservation, agricultural preservation, and environmental protection. This objective was extended beyond the Intermountain West through comparing water challenges that megacities of the world confront. We found that differentiating and analyzing the complexity of megacities' water problems based on geographic contexts, historical development trajectories, urban population growth rates, and forms of urban expansion that all help to explain the nature of the various water management problems megacities confront. A Ph.D. student that I co-advise, Enjie Li, is focusing her dissertation work on several aspects of this objective. Objective 2: Examine agricultural adaptations to drought and climate change in the Bear River Basin and Weber River Basin, particularly in relation to infrastructure upgrades, new water metering and communication technologies, and proposed water banking strategies. While work on this objective originally focused on the Bear River Basin, it has been expanded to include broad-scale analysis of agriculture-to-urban water transfers throughout the state. My M.S. student, Bonnie Roos, is investigating how agricultural water rights are being protected and/or transferred in the urbanization process in Utah, with an emphasis on water banking strategies and other mechanisms that facilitate flexibility within western water law. She conducted her research in 2015 and plans to complete her thesis this spring. Preliminary findings point to several critical challenges that agriculture faces and to ways in which incentives provided by the marketability of water rights provides both opportunities and risks depending on particular contextual factors. Objective 3: Refine urban landscape water use analysis, assessment, monitoring and information tools to promote conservation of water in municipal culinary and pressurized secondary water systems and to aid cities in water conservation policy formulation, planning efforts, and program development. WaterMAPS™ was used to analyze urban landscape water use efficiency in several projects in conjunction with working with water providers in Utah (Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Salt Lake City). Our analyses showed that urban landscape water use is generally twice, on average, of what is needed to maintain landscapes in healthy conditions. Factors contributing to overuse of water involve the interface of people with their yards through irrigation technologies that are not designed, maintained and operated effectively. We demonstrated that providing site specific information to water customers on their capacity to conserve enhanced their conservation savings. Objective 4: Investigate ways in which water policies and management strategies can enhance provision of water for wetlands in federal wildlife refuges to maintain the environmental benefits and services these areas provide. I continue to collaborate with other researchers and educators on work related to wetlands of the Great Salt Lake. I am a dissertation committee member for my former M.S. student, Rebekah Downard, who is now pursuing a Ph.D. with USU colleague Karin Kettenring. We are working together on research that assesses wetland ecological health and the public policies and management approaches that can support healthy wetlands.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Opportunities This project has provided several PhD students (Lisa Welsh, Enjie Li, Andria Hall) and MS students (Rebekah Downard, Bonnie Roos) with thematic foci for their research work in water policy analysis and their interdisciplinary academic training in human dimensions of ecosystem science and management. I have worked to find synergies between this research and other funded projects, particularly with my role in iUTAH. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Dissemination To date, dissemination has consisted primarily of peer-reviewed publications, presentations at national conferences, invited public presentations, and seminars at USU and other universities. Dissemination products in 2014 related to this project included: one peer-reviewed publication; one book chapter; one invited presentation at another university (Purdue University); one contributed presentation at a professional conference (Association of American Geographers or AAG); one invited USU presentation (seminar for the Department of Plants, Soils and Climate); and, one high-profile invited public presentation (the 21st Annual Utah Water Summit). What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Plan of Work Research work will continue on all project objectives in the coming year but emphasis will be placed on furthering objectives 1, 2, and 3. Additional publications contributing to this project are currently in process with several peer-reviewed journal article submissions planned for 2015. Additional opportunities to expand and further the work will be pursued.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Accomplishments Objective 1: Analyze foundational legal principles and public deliberations over water policy designs to address changing societal contexts in the Intermountain West. In fall 2014, I published a book chapter in the CQ Guide to U.S. Environmental Policy dealing with the water policy debates and challenges of accessing and sharing fresh clean water in the United States. My PhD student (Lisa Welsh) completed her dissertation in 2014 entitled "Policy Designs to Address Water Allocations during Societal Transitions: The Southern Nevada Water Authority's Groundwater Development Project." Several manuscripts are in preparation based on this research. Her policy analysis looks at the Snake Valley water controversies between Utah and Nevada. Two other PhD students working with me, Enjie Li and Andria Hall, are designing dissertations to investigate issues related to water policy and planning challenges in rapidly urbanizing areas of Utah. Objective 2: Examine agricultural adaptations to drought and climate change in the Bear River Basin and Weber River Basin, particularly in relation to infrastructure upgrades, new water metering and communication technologies, and proposed water banking strategies. My master's student, Bonnie Roos, is investigating how agricultural water rights are being protected and/or transferred in the urbanization process in Utah, with an emphasis on water banking strategies and other mechanisms that facilitate flexibility within western water law. She plans to complete her thesis in the coming year. Objective 3: Refine urban landscape water use analysis, assessment, monitoring and information tools to promote conservation of water in municipal culinary and pressurized secondary water systems and to aid cities in water conservation policy formulation, planning efforts, and program development. I continue to lead interdisciplinary team efforts to develop and implement WaterMAPS™, a software application to aid in analysis of urban landscape water use efficiency. We are working with water providers in Utah (Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Salt Lake City) to conduct analyses and provide information to the public. My former master's student, Diana Glenn, two colleagues and I submitted and revised a manuscript for Landscape and Urban Planning on tools for evaluating and monitoring effectiveness of urban landscape water conservation interventions and programs. Objective 4: Investigate ways in which water policies and management strategies can enhance provision of water for wetlands in federal wildlife refuges to maintain the environmental benefits and services these areas provide. In the spring, my former master's student, Rebekah Downard, a colleague (Karin Kettenring) and I published a manuscript in Ecology and Society about adaptations in wetland management in an uncertain and changing arid environment. Rebekah is now a PhD student working with Karin Kettenring and is continuing investigations on wetlands of the Great Salt Lake.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Accomplishments 1) Major activities completed: Research was conducted in relation to all of the project objectives. Key informant interviews, a survey, secondary document analysis, and policy analyses were completed. 2) Specific objectives met: a) Objective 1: Water policy analyses were conducted on a) the Southern Nevada Water Authority pipeline project and b) the information needs of water policy managers in relation to changes occurring due to urbanization of the Wasatch Front Metropolitan Area and to water provision vulnerabilities due to climate change. Several research presentations were made on these topics. b) Objectives 2: Water use and social analyses were conducted about meter implementation on secondary water systems in the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District service area with the aim of promoting efficiency and accountability in landscape water use. A major research report was produced and several presentations given. c) Objective 3: WaterMAPS, a software application that produces site-specific landscape irrigation ratios comparing estimated landscape water use to estimated landscape water need, was refined and discussions took place with the USU Commercialization Office. Several presentations were given on research conducted using WaterMAPS. d) Objective 4: Interdisciplinary research on the political-ecology of wetlands in the Bear River Basin and Great Salt Lake Watershed was conducted. Two peer-reviewed publications were produced. 3) Significant results achieved (including major findings, developments, or conclusions): Research conducted in collaboration with the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District regarding meter implementation on pressurized secondary irrigation systems showed that information feedback on water used in comparison to water needed to maintain landscapes provided people with an informational incentive to conserve water. Analysis of survey data gathered in fall 2012 showed that many people appreciated the information provided by WaterMAPS in end user water use reports. In summer 2013, the second year of dissemination of end user water use reports, significant amounts of landscape water was conserved. 4) Key impacts or other accomplishments realized: a) Knowledge was increased of irrigation system and social factors contributing to urban water waste and how to identify, monitor, and reduce it. b) Federal refuges in the Bear River Basin, particularly the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, are utilizing the wetlands' water rights inventory and analysis conducted by Downard and Endter-Wada (2013) and Welsh et al. (2013).
