Impacts of Groundwater Affecting Activities on Baseflow Variability and Ecological Response

Frogs as bio-indicators of chemical useage and farm practices in an irrigated agricultural area

Dramatic declines and extinctions in frog populations worldwide and high frequencies of physical or reproductive abnormalities in frogs may be directly or indirectly related to agricultural activities among other factors. The causes of the declines in amphibian populations remain unresolved, but recent studies suggest six main hypotheses to explain them: habitat destruction chemical contaminants, particularly pesticides increasing (more)...

Field Studies

There are presently a limited number of tools available for quantifying the level of groundwater dependence within ecosystems or identifying EWRs (see Report 1). With particular regards to defining ERFs (that describe the relationship between ecophysiology…
