The three research projects supported by the OWRRI program are as follows: Project 2002OK2B Springs in Peril: Have Changes in Groundwater Input Affected Oklahoma Springs? assessed the status of Oklahoma springs with respect to groundwater input, and the effects of altered groundwater flow rates on spring biota. Project 2002OK3B Enhanced Life Cycle Assessment: Analysis to Guide Environmental Technology Implementation develops an enhanced life cycle assessment (ECLA) framework for the integrated assessment of the implementation of environmental technologies. Project 2002OK4B Resistance Tomographic Imaging, Digital Mapping and Immersion Visualization of Evaporite Karst in Western Oklahoma investigates a novel and innovative procedure that combines electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), digital mapping and immersion visualization hardware and software to provide a digital image of subsurface conduit networks in a karst environment. Project 2002OK6B Evaluating Cost Effective Technologies to Reduce Phosphorous Loading to Surface Waters in the Ozark Region develops methods that will aid watershed managers in the Ozark and similar regions to set and implement TMDLs in a cost effective manner.
