The Arkansas Water Resources Center (“AWRC”) announced that the inaugural edition of the publication Arkansas Bulletin of Water Research (“Bulletin”) has been published.
The Bulletin is described as:
. . .an outlook for researchers to communicate project findings that might not be published in national or international journals, yet is extremely important to stakeholders in Arkansas.
AWRC states that the Bulletin is also an “outlet” for research that is funded through the AWRC-US Geological Survey 104B grant program. It is stated to be designed to allow research to be disseminated in a freely accessible, easily searchable, and aesthetically engaging way.
The inaugural issue includes the following articles:
- Benjamin Runkle, assistant professor at the University of Arkansas studied sustainable water use in rice irrigation.
- Kayla Sayre, graduate student, and Michelle Evans-White, associate professor at the University of Arkansas studied how fish that eat algae might influence algal growth and biomass across a phosphorus gradient and looked at differences in the relationship from summer to winter seasons.
- Sally Entrekin, associate professor at the University of Central Arkansas studied how low levels of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate affected fungi and aquatic insects that rely on leaf litter for food.
- Connie Walden, graduate student, and Wen Zhang, assistant professor at the University of Arkansas studied how microbial biofilms used during wastewater treatment processes interacted with nanoparticles that can be found in consumer products and are considered a possible contaminant of emerging concern.
The Bulletin solicits paper submissions from researchers, consulting firms, watershed groups, or anyone else conducting water research or investigations.
