Elmhurst Quarry Flood Control Project
Conversion of a limestone quarry into an off-line reservoir provides flood protection for a rapidly developing County in the suburbs of Chicago....
Evaluating Multi-Purpose Reservoir Operations Using Fuzzy Dynamic Programming
The study described in this paper was designed to assess the feasibility of reservoir operators and water users defining membership functions for evaluating multiple objectives and to...
Using GIS to Develop 2-D Hydraulic Models
As communities along rivers and streams continue to develop, the demand for more accurate floodplain analysis and flood warning will also increase. Computer systems continue to develop...
Design and Implementation of an Optimal Real-Time Hydropower Generation Scheduling System for the Lower Colorado River in Texas
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) of Texas supplies water and electric power to over 800,000 persons in Central Texas. A real-time decision support system is being developed and...
Reservoir Operation Using Bayesian Inferencing and Balancing Rules
The water resources problem addressed in this paper is real-time, multi-purpose reservoir operation. Specifically, daily, or at the most, weekly operations are considered. A hybrid modeling...
Aquifer Remediation Design: Nonlinear Programming and Genetic Algorithms
Nonlinear programming and genetic algorithm solutions of a pump-and-treat aquifer remediation design model are presented and discussed. These models find the minimum cost design of the...
Application of the PCRSS Reservoir Simulation Model to the Salt River Project
PCRSS is a general purpose reservoir system model construction kit. It allows the user to specify the system configuration and parameters through the use of a windows based graphic user...
A Decision Support System for Reassessing the Operation of the Chungju Reservoir System
The Chungju Reservoir is a component of the Han River System in Korea. Chungju Reservoir consists of a main reservoir and a downstream smaller reservoir that serves as an after bay. It...
A Decision Support System for Multi-Purpose Reservoir Operations
A generalized decision support system (DSS) is presented for developing optimal operation policies for multi-purpose reservoirs. The model is designed for single reservoirs, although is...
Building Groundwater Optimizers That Respond to the Needs of Decision-Makers
Optimization methods are being sought and employed to design systems that remediate contaminated groundwater regions (and, in fact, the subsurface in general) with increasing frequency....
Uncertainty in Reservoir Operation Optimisation
The water resources literature is rich with the application of optimisation techniques in the presence of uncertainty. This paper presents a brief overview of the various ways uncertainty...
Integration of Water Quantity and Quality Planning
This paper describes the integration of water quantity and quality objectives within the framework of a computerized interface design to assist with the difficult process of long-range...
Description of the Application of Goal Programming for Selective Withdrawal Structure Operation
Thermal stratification in reservoirs results in variations of water quality with depth. Selective withdrawal structures with outlets at different vertical locations, can be used to provide...
Optimal Operation of Soil Aquifer Treatment System
Mathematical models based on nonlinear programming are developed for operating soil aquifer treatment(SAT) systems. The objective of these optimization models is to determine the operation...
Water Resource Modeling and Consensus Building
The steps undertaken to develop consensus with respect to analyzing a complex and competitive water resources/water rights situation through the development of a simulation model are described....
Addressing Central Valley Project Policy Issues Using a General-Purpose Model
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Central Valley Project (CVP) in California is constantly undergoing changes in legal mandates and policy objectives. Due to the complex nature of existing...
Integration of Water Rights and Network Flow Modeling in the Upper Snake River Basin
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Pacific Northwest Region and Denver Office are working to enhance the ability to integrate hydrological and institutional modeling capabilities for use...
PROSIM - A Water Rights-Based Operational Simulation Model of the Provo River
The development and initial application of a computer model of the hydrology, water rights, and operation of the Provo and Weber rivers in Utah are described. The new FORTRAN model PROSIM...
Missouri River Economic Impacts Model
The Missouri River basin recently (1987-1992) experienced a drought that affected project uses and environmental resources. This drought and the need to address changes that have occurred...
Multiobjective Models for Determining Freshwater Inflows to Bays and Estuaries
This paper presents four multiobjective models for the estuary management problem, including goal programming, the epsilon constraint method, the surrogate worth tradeoff method and the...
