    Description
    In 1983 the State of Arizona began an investigation to locate possible Arizona sites for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). Briefly, the SSC is a proton-antiproton particle accelerator consisting of five components (1) an injector complex of four cascaded accelerators which include a 500 foot linear accelerator and three circular synchrotron accelerators up to four miles in circumference; (2) a 52.8 mile collider ring with an inner diameter of 10 feet; (3) experimental areas containing the collision halls and particle detectors; (4) campus/laboratory areas; and (5) site infrastructure consisting of roads and utilities. Of the many criteria outlined for site evaluation by the DOE, the greatest weight was given to geology and tunneling and its impact upon construction and operational costs. An important aspect of the geologic criteria is the surface and subsurface hydrology.

      Determining Areal Precipitation in the Basin and Range Province of Southern Arizona - Sonoita Creek Basin

      Ben-Asher, J.; Randall, J.; Resnick, S.; Water Resources Research Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 (Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science, 1976-05-01)
      A linear relationship between point precipitation and elevation in conjunction with a computer four-point interpolation technique was used to simulate areal rainfall over Sonoita Creek Basin, Arizona. The simulation's sensitivity and accuracy were checked against the official isohyetal map of Arizona (Univ. of Arizona, 1965) by changing the density of the interpolation nodes. The simulation was found to be in good agreement with the official map. The average areal-rainfall was calculated by integration. Cumulative rainfall amounts were assumed to be stochastically independent from one season to another. The seasonal precipitations of forty years (1932-1972) were subdivided into five groups. to check for binomial distribution. The binomial model fits the historical data adequately. The binomial model for cumulative seasonal areal-precipitation provides one way to compute the return period. This information will be necessary for decision-makers and hydrologists to predict the area's future water balance.

      Incorporating social-ecological considerations into basin-wide responses to climate change in the Colorado River Basin

      Bair, Lucas S; Yackulic, Charles B; Schmidt, John C; Perry, Denielle M; Kirchhoff, Christine J; Chief, Karletta; Colombi, Benedict J; Univ Arizona, Sch Anthropol; Univ Arizona, Dept Soil Water & Environm Sci (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-05-06)
      During the last 50 years, construction of dams in the western United States declined. This is partly because of increasing recognition of diverse and unintended social-ecological consequences of dams. Today, resource managers are recognizing the wide array of tradeoffs and are including a more diverse group of stakeholders in decision making for individual dams. Yet decisions at the regional scale maintain a focus on a limited number of resources and objectives, leading to inefficient and inequitable outcomes. Social-ecological changes compounded by climate change challenge this management paradigm. Increasing water demands for humans and the environment and renewed interest in hydropower present opportunities for operations that include climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies while considering tradeoffs and equitable responses at the regional scale.
