Both trends contribute to an increase in observed flood magnitude and frequency. To determine if a relationship exists between land use/land cover and changing stream flows in northwest Arkansas, this study analyzed temporal changes in various flow statistics for 14 stream gages and compared the rates of change in flow statistics from gages on streams with watersheds that have varying land uses, i.e., urban, agricultural, and undeveloped. Mann-Kendall analysis was used to determine statistically significant changes in flow statistics, which were then compared to National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) watershed land uses from 2001 and 2019. All analyzed gages had one or more flow statistics with at least a moderately significant increase, and all analyzed flow statistics showed at least moderately significant streamflow increases at two or more gages (P &lt; 0.100). There were no decreases of any significance in any flow statistic at any gage. In general, urban land development did not happen on native prairies and forests but on previously agricultural land. Significant positive relationships were found between maximum yearly flow and 2019 urban land use, urban land use change from 2001 to 2019, and 2019 Human Development Index (HDI). A similar relationship was found to exist between yearly minimum flow and 2019 HDI. These results highlight the importance of considering the cost of potential stream bank erosion and flooding in future land use planning, permitting, and zoning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Water Research & Education","volume":"179 1","pages":"24-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1936-704X.2024.3400.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139704850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this broader interest, the journal also puts value on publishing manuscripts from undergraduate research projects, class projects, and honors thesis with a focus on water research and education. The challenge with these types of manuscripts is the focus and depth should be narrow, time and resources are often limited (e.g., one semester or the equivalent of a 3 student credit hours), and peer-reviewed publication is often not the common standard nor goal for undergraduates (Fenn et al. <span>2010</span>). The latter might be the most pressing challenge, unless the undergraduates have an interest in pursuing advanced degrees, particularly graduate school where the students will be doing research for theses and dissertations. Undergraduates need opportunities like this to frame their water research within broader scientific literature (Fox et al. <span>2017</span>), especially if the next step in their career is graduate school.</p><p>The faculty advisors, mentors, and teachers also play an important role in pushing these types of undergraduate manuscripts forward, while maintaining the undergraduates as the lead author. Faculty can look at publishing undergraduate research with students as the lead authors as an innovative educational opportunity in water resources (Habib and Deshotel <span>2018</span>), explaining how coauthors are selected and ordered, how to craft a readable story in science (e.g., see Mackay <span>1995</span>), how you handle the peer-review process, and how to write acknowledgements. However, faculty including myself often fall into the trap of writing our stories in a complex nature, which limits the manuscript's ability to always tell a readable story.</p><p>The <i>Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education</i> has provided and continues to provide undergraduates and faculty mentors with an opportunity to publish these manuscripts, while navigating the peer-review process. I personally find this a valuable contribution to scientific literature, as well as valuable educational opportunities in water resources. These undergraduates are part of the future workforce which will be tackling the pressing water problems and issues that we face locally, regionally and across our Nation.

Summit and survey results show that water scarcity is a growing concern among water scientists and other experts. Increased water scarcity is leading to overallocated river basins, depleted aquifers, and elevated tensions between water use sectors. Summit and survey participants emphasized the need for increased integration—across research, extension, and education efforts; across the social and physical sciences; across uses (including ecological); and across surface and groundwater systems. These results serve as a sensing of what many of our colleagues believe to be the major western water issues over the next 30 years and, in some cases, possible solutions for addressing them. The expert opinions elicited through the summit and survey informed the creation of the Western Water Network, whose mission is to advance collaborative, proactive, science-based water decision-making that supports dynamic human and natural systems in the West.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Water Research & Education","volume":"178 1","pages":"47-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1936-704X.2023.3391.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50154442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
