Philip Gardner
Philip Gardner is a Hydrologist and the Groundwater Specialist for the Nevada Water Science Center.
Phil has worked as a hydrologist with the US Geological Survey since 2001 and is currently the Groundwater Specialist at the Nevada Water Science Center in Carson City, NV. Much of his work has focused on the development of conceptual and numerical models of hydrologic systems and groundwater-surface water interaction throughout the eastern Great Basin and Colorado Plateau.

Borehole environmental tracers for evaluating net infiltration and recharge through desert bedrock Borehole environmental tracers for evaluating net infiltration and recharge through desert bedrock
Permeable bedrock aquifers in arid regions are being increasingly developed as water supplies, yet little is generally known about recharge processes and spatial and temporal variability. Environmental tracers from boreholes were used in this study to investigate net infiltration and recharge to the fractured Navajo Sandstone aquifer. Vadose zone tracer profiles at the Sand Hollow study...

Pre- and post-reservoir ground-water conditions and assessment of artificial recharge at Sand Hollow, Washington County, Utah, 1995-2005 Pre- and post-reservoir ground-water conditions and assessment of artificial recharge at Sand Hollow, Washington County, Utah, 1995-2005
Sand Hollow, Utah, is the site of a surface-water reservoir completed in March 2002, which is being operated by the Washington County Water Conservancy District primarily as an aquifer storage and recovery project. The reservoir is an off-channel facility receiving water from the Virgin River, diverted near the town of Virgin, Utah. It is being operated conjunctively, providing both...

Fire hazards at the urban-wildland interface: what the public expects Fire hazards at the urban-wildland interface: what the public expects
Urban-wildland issues have become among the most contentious and problematic issues for forest managers. Using data drawn from surveys conducted by the authors and others, this article discusses how public knowledge and perceptions of fire policies and fire hazards change over time, the kinds of policy responses homeowners prefer as a way of preventing fire hazards at the urban-wildland...
