Cost and Schedule Baseline Management in the OCRWM Program
The Department of Energy's Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management has established a baseline change control system to support their program control system. The program control...
Project Control?The Next Generation
The Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) is the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) second largest Major System Acquisition Project. We have developed an integrated planning...
The Economic Value of Trout Fishery Management Programs
The contingent valuation method is used to estimate the economic value of a trout fishing day at the Cache la Poudre River in Colorado. In addition, changes in daily economic value and...
Use of Flood Control Features for Environmental Mitigation
The US Army Engineer District, Vicksburg (CELMK), plans to construct up to 167 water control structures, 52 confined disposal facilities, and 47 barrow pits as part of a major flood control...
Development of Bioretention Practices for Stormwater Management
This paper introduces the concept of bioretention as an innovative stormwater quality management practice. Bioretention is a method to treat the first flush of runoff using a combination...
Columbia River System Operations ? Water Quality Assessment
In mid-1990, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Bonneville Power Administration embarked on a Columbia River system operation review. Ten technical work...
Advanced Decision Support Systems for Environmental Simulation Modeling
Some new computer approaches for integrating simulation models into water-quality management and planning are described. A system for integrating models, databases and decision-support...
Seasonal Water Quality Management Given Sparse Data
An approach for designing robust seasonal water quality management programs for river basins with sparse or short flow records is presented. This approach uses Markov chain modelling and...
Application of Computer Support for Water Quality Management
A Computer-Aided Support System for operation of the QUAL2E-UNCAS river water quality model has been developed for the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, North Coastal Region....
Graphics User Interface for Water Quality Model Calibration
The UC Davis Water Resources Modeling Group developed a unique Graphical Use Interface (GUI) in the Microsoft Windows environment to facilitate use of the stream mode QUAL2E for the Russian...
Evolving Institutions for Managing the ACF Basin
The ACF basin is a case of interstate conflict in resource management. This study looks at the planning underway with regard to mechanisms for managing the basin....
Local Agency Regulation: The Policies and Process of Surface Water Protection
King County, Washington, adopted a Surface Water Design Manual in January 1990. This manual, which has served as a resource guide in developing similar manuals throughout the Pacific Northwest...
Real-Time Water-Control System for the Trinity River, Texas
To provide information for improved flood prevention and control in the Trinity river basin in Texas, we developed a real-time water-control system that (1) retrieves rainfall and streamflow...
A Watershed Approach to Water Quality Criteria
Water quality has been managed historically using water quality criteria implemented through the NPDES permitting process. Many water bodies have water quality better than that defined...
Ground Water Management Standards and Protection Tools
Once local goals and objectives for ground-water protection have been defined, wellhead protection areas delineated, sources of contamination inventoried and assessed, management techniques...
Artificial Recharge to Manage Groundwater Quality in a Connected Surface Water Groundwater System
Finite difference method is used to formulate the management problem of movement of water and solute in a connected surface water groundwater system. Pumped groundwater quality of conservative...
Urban Stormwater Runoff Control System?Village of Skokie, Illinois
Combined sewer systems in many communities lack the capacity to convey stormwater runoff from even small to moderate storm. This inadequate capacity, in turn, causes basement flooding...
Receiving Water Quality Bases for Evaluating CSO Control Alternatives
Waters receiving combined sewer overflow loadings in the vicinity of Bangor, Maine include the Kenduskeag Stream and the Penobscot River. The city's facilities planning effort was performed...
When the Well Runs Dry Paying for Storm Water
Much will be said during this conference about the need for various structural and nonstructural approaches toward mitigating problems related to storm water quality and quantity management....
Managing Stormwater with a Microcontroller Operated System
Concepts of managing urban stormwater runoff with a microcontroller operated flow control system are presented. The microcontroller system allows flexible and precise flow control from...
