Description
Innovation can be defined as a product, process, or service that generates new value in the market. The outcome of innovation could be a physical product, or something less tangible such as a new way of isolating proteins for genetic research. Innovation is difficult to measure directly, so we separately measure four key components of innovation: talent, ideas, capital, and entrepreneurship. The first three components are necessary to produce 'raw'...

Description
Of the most costly natural hazards for which federal, state and local planners must prepare (like earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods), the impacts of drought have been the least well measured. Yet drought vulnerability and impacts drive drought response policy and there are weaknesses in our ability to judge vulnerability and impacts.

Description
Several studies demonstrate that the hydrographs of many western rivers are changing in response to climate change, with one of the most pronounced changes being earlier runoff. This trend is most pronounced in low elevation basins. For example, in many basins of the Pacific Northwest, annual spring snowmelt is now occurring more than 20 days earlier than a half-century ago. This trend is less evident in high elevation watersheds, but even in those...

Description
The paper reviews the potential for administrative problems/disputes associated with western prior appropriation water rights in those sub-regions experiencing increasingly early spring snowmelt and the lengthening of growing seasons. In those areas, potential problems of two general types are envisioned. First, in those states that link water rights to specific calendar dates (that are becoming increasingly out-of-step with natural hydrographs),...

Description
Drought, and its various manifestations, is one of the largest - if not the largest - concern about weather and climate impacts in the Interior West. Quantification of the economic impacts of drought is important because it allows decision makers to document and justify requests for disaster assistance, and to demonstrate and evaluate the benefits of drought mitigation programs.

Description
Climate variability and change, including drought, affects multiple sectors, from agriculture to transportation, but the Colorado Climate Preparedness Project (CCPP) study especially found a gap in, and demand for, more information about climate impacts in the outdoor recreation sector.

Description
This memo presents the results of a literature search conducted in May-June 2007 as a preliminary step toward the study of how climate change-induced variations in the hydrograph (i.e. earlier snowmelt and peak flows) may impact the temporal elements of water rights.
