Malia Scott
Malia Scott is a hydrologist in the Watersheds and Fluvial Systems Section at the Washington Water Science Center
Malia studies water usage across industries such as residential, mining, and livestock. She’s worked with various teams to create models that estimate water usage on various temporal and spatial scales. She also has studied streamflow permanence and drought within the Pacific Northwest. She is interested in the impacts of climate change on water availability and usage for the future.

Integration of Urban Stormwater Infrastructure in Modeling Water Quality Patterns in Small Urban Streams
The Issue: Stormwater can quickly run off impervious surfaces delivering potentially polluted water to streams and rivers in the Puget Sound region. Runoff from impervious surfaces can either be directly connected to streams through stormwater pipes or indirectly connected if runoff is routed to some other surface such as grass or a feature like a stormwater management structure. It is currently...
