Geostatistics Revisited: Patterns in the United States David R. Maidment 6 November 2008
Election as Geostatistics: Location matters!!
Statistical sampling of voters Final Preelection Polls Election on (11/4/08)
Election “Population” Population size: 125, 225, 901 Spread – Obama: 53% to Mc. Cain: 46%
Election “Sample” (Stratified Random Sampling) National Survey of 1, 000 Likely Voters Sample size: 1000 Spread – Obama: 52% to Mc. Cain: 46% Sample: Population = 1000 : 120 million or 0. 00083%
Air Temperature: “Population” Nebraska
Air Temperature “Sample” (Mean annual values from Nebraska)
What are Statistics?
How do Geostatistics Differ from Statistics?
Random Fields: Probabilistic processes in space Voters: A finite population of spatially discrete objects Air Temperature: An infinite population which forms a spatial continuum
Air Temperature on an X-Y plane Northing, Y Easting, X
Geostatistics: Orientation matters! Temperature vs Northing, Y Temperature versus Easting, X 14. 00 12. 00 10. 00 8. 00 6. 00 4. 00 2. 00 0 200000 400000 600000 800000 1000000 0. 00 4278684 4378684 4478684 4578684 4678684 4778684 4878684
Temperature and Elevation 14. 00 Temperature vs Elevation 12. 00 10. 00 8. 00 6. 00 4. 00 2. 00 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 Contrary trend to normal, where temperature decreases with elevation

Mean, Standard Deviation and Standard Error of Estimate Air Temperature data in Nebraska (215 sites) Mean = 6. 96 °C Standard Deviation = 2. 07 °C Standard Error of Mean = 0. 47 °C

Estimating Water Use in the United States http: //www. nap. edu/catalog. php? record_id=10484
National Water Use Estimation All variables defined for state i in year t TW = total water use PS = public water supply DM = domestic use CM = commercial use IR = irrigation use LS = livestock use IN = industrial use MN = mining use TE = thermoelectric use
State Water Use Databases Survey undertaken with the assistance of USGS water use specialists • Category 1 (10 states) – Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Vermont • Category 2 (12 states) – Alabama, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Virginia • Category 3 (28 states + PR) – Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming Category 1 2 3
Water Use Estimation • Direct Estimation: sample n and extrapolate to population of size N • Indirect Estimation: use regression or a water use coefficient model to get water use in each state
Trends in Water Use in the US Solley et al. , 1998
Total Water Use Nuclear power plant in Pope County (1/12 of all water use in the State)
Arkansas Site-Specific Water-Use Database ~50, 000 points with monthly water withdrawal estimates
Surface and Groundwater Points Surface water: 5, 600 points Groundwater: 39, 100 points Data are reported to AWSCC in acre-ft per month or year Data are reported to USGS national summary in MGD
Arkansas Aquifers Ozark Plateaus Edwards-Trinity Mississippi River Valley Alluvium Mississippi Embayment
Withdrawals from the Mississippi Alluvium 33, 700 wells (86%) out of 39, 100 total draw from the Mississippi Alluvium
Stratified Random Sampling • VT = variance of total water use • Nh = total number of sites in stratum h, • nh = sampled sites in stratum h, • n = total number of samples • and sh 2 = variance of water use at a site in stratum h h=L s. L 2 Domestic Comm. Industrial h=2 s 22 Irrigation h=1 s 12 PWS
Number of Samples Required Arkansas, irrigation from groundwater Total use = 5, 492, 730 MG % Standard Error No. of Samples 10% 111 5% 445 1% 8600 Random sampling: Desired standard error = 549, 273 MG requires 111 samples
A Sampling Scheme (for 10% standard error in total water use) nh Nh n= Power uses have complete inventory, others are randomly sampled
Summary of Recommendations • Elevate the NWUIP to a water-use science program, emphasizing statistical estimation of water use and the determinants and impacts of water use. • Systematically compare water-use estimation methods to identify the techniques best suited to the requirements and limitations of the NWUIP. Determine the standard error for every water-use estimate. • (Move from an inventory model to a statistical model to produce national estimates. )
Summary of Recommendations • Systematically integrate datasets, including those maintained by other federal and state agencies, into datasets already maintained by the NWUIP. • Focus on the scientific integration of water use, water flow, and water quality to expand knowledge and generate policy-relevant information about human impacts on both water and ecological resources • Seek support from Congress for dedicated funding of a national component water-use science program to supplement the existing funding in the Coop Program This is now funded and is called the “Water for America” program
