Nitrogen Cycling and Transport within the Vadose Zone under Agricultural Managed Aquifer Recharge <br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Abstract:</b></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">The Central Valley of California is one of the most
agriculturally productive alluvial valleys in the world. However, reoccurring
droughts and mismanagement of our groundwater aquifers threatens the resiliency
of our agroecosystems. The most recent drought from 2012-2016 led to a
five-fold increase in groundwater overdraft, as farmer’s surface water
allocations were reduced to zero in some areas of the valley. Groundwater
overdraft has led to increased land subsidence which damages important water conveyance
infrastructure, degraded water quality, decreased water table levels which
increases pumping costs for farmers, and reduced capacity of groundwater to
buffer agroecosystems against future droughts. These water challenges are
expected to increase with climate change. The passing of the Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act reinvigorated efforts to pursue groundwater recharge
throughout the state in an effort to bring our water basins back into
sustainable use. A novel approach to managed aquifer recharge is being
considered whereby agricultural lands are intentionally flooded to replenish
the underlying aquifer, a strategy known as Agricultural Managed Aquifer
Recharge (AgMAR). However, uncertainty remains on how AgMAR will affect the
transport of legacy nitrate to aquifers that are already facing water quality
degradation. I will discuss my research on the potential of certain cropping
systems and soils to transport nitrate and the effect of changing the
hydrologic regime at the surface on N cycling in the shallow and deep vadose
zones. </span></font><span></span></p>

Waterhouse is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Environmental Policy, Science, and
Management department at UC Berkeley in Timothy Bowle’s Agroecology Lab. Her
postdoctoral work examines farmer decision making and their effect on soil
health via the coupled human and natural systems framework. She completed her PhD
in the Soils and Biogeochemistry Graduate Group at the University of
California, Davis. She received the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of
Science Graduate Student Research award to complete her dissertation work. <span> </span>Broadly, her research focuses on leveraging
soil’s biophysiochemical properties to mitigate agriculture’s impact on the
environment, with a particular focus on nitrogen cycling. Her PhD combined field
work, lab incubations, and numerical modelling to examine how agricultural
managed aquifer recharge effects nitrate leaching to the underlying aquifers
and nitrogen cycling dynamics in the deep vadose zone. She received her Master’s
in Soils and Biogeochemistry from UC Davis in 2015 for her work focused on
identifying agricultural management practices, including fertilizer and
irrigation technologies, to reduce nitrous oxide emissions while maintaining
yields. Dr. Waterhouse has also consulted for USAID in collaboration with a
non-profit, Helen Keller International, in Bangladesh where she advised female
subsistence farmers on how to remediate salt affected soils to improve yields. Dr.
Waterhouse holds a BA in Mathematics from Bryn Mawr College and previously
worked for the University of Delaware’s Environmental Soil Management Group.</span></font><span></span></span></p>
