There is a need to support applied, community-relevant hydrologic research within changing climate, population, and socio-economic conditions to better inform water policy and management. Following this train of thought, we considered gaps in community knowledge as well as gaps in the scientific literature to guide two studies outlined in this thesis. In our first study, we hypothesized that providing a rural agricultural community in a semiarid valley with the necessary monitoring tool to meet local water management needs would increase adaptive capacity within the context of long-term drought. Through a community science approach, researchers installed a telemetry monitoring system at participating acequia irrigation diversions that remotely sent water data to a web interface every 15 minutes. Two surveys distributed before and after web interface access targeted seven adaptive capacity indicators. After the first season of improved data accessibility, the following adaptive capacity indicators significantly increased: information diversity, cognitive social capital, leadership, and proactivity. This is the first study we know of within water resources science that addressed community concern with a web-accessible, real-time monitoring tool and subsequently quantified the tool's impact on adaptive capacity with robust and adaptable survey methodology. This study demonstrates that bridging the gap between community need and hydrologic research through community science, sociologic analysis, and stakeholder engagement provides significant benefits for communities facing water management challenges, further supporting problem-driven water resources research. Quantifying groundwater recharge from irrigation regimes in water-scarce regions is critical for appropriate and sustainable water management in an era of decreasing surface water deliveries and an increasing reliance on groundwater pumping. Through a water budget approach, our second study estimated deep percolation (DP) and characterized surface water and groundwater interactions of two traditional, flood-irrigated fields in northern New Mexico to evaluate the regional importance of irrigation-related recharge in the context of climate change. DP was estimated for each irrigation event from precipitation, irrigation input, runoff, change in soil water storage, and actual evapotranspiration data for both fields. Both fields exhibited positive, statistically significant relationships between DP and total water applied (TWA), where one field exhibited positive, statistically significant relationships between DP and groundwater level fluctuation (GWLF), and GWLF and total water applied. In 2021, DP on Field 1 averaged 92 mm per irrigation event and totaled as 739 mm, where 68% of irrigation water applied contributed to DP. Field 2's DP averaged 52 mm per irrigation event in 2021 and totaled as 1249 mm, where 81% of irrigation water applied contributed to DP. Results from this study combined with long-term research indicate that the groundwater recharge and flexible management associated with traditional, community-based irrigation systems are the exact benefits needed for appropriate climate change adaptation.
