Flood Quantiles for Small Watersheds Using Peak Elevation to Volume Method
Probability Based Estimation of Expected Annual Benefits
Genetic Algorithms for the Design of Groundwater Remediation Systems
The performance of genetic algorithms (GAs) to solve optimal aquifer remediation design problems is investigated. Some difficulties associated with GA models include premature convergence,...
Guist Creek Dam Spillway Upgrade: A Maze (Labyrinth) of Difficulties
Any dam that holds back a large quantity of water is potentially dangerous. Some dams are more of a threat than others, especially those with human populations and valuable property in...
Using Probabilistic Balancing Rules in the Development of Multi-Purpose Multi-Reservoir Systems Operation Models
This paper focuses on the development of short-term (real-time) reservoir operation strategies by the incorporation of Probabilistic Balancing Rules (PBR). Probabilistic Balancing Rule...
Forcing Function and Climate Change
A system framework for investigating the effect of climate change in the upper Rio-Grande river basin, New Mexico, is developed. The forcing function or input into a climate change model...

Approach, Methods and Results of an Individual Elicitation for the Volcanism Expert Judgment Panel
An Assessment of Future Volcanic Hazard at Yucca Mountain
Results of the Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard Analysis Project
Application of the Limit-State Method for Probabilistic Unsaturated Flow Modeling
Biosphere Modelling for Radioactive Waste Disposal
Use of Probabilistic Methods for Analysis of Cost and Duration Uncertainties in a Decision Analysis Framework
Probabilistic Evaluation of Postclosure Criticality Events Internal to the Waste Package
Probabilistic Approach for Cancer Risk Assessment
Carcinogenic chemicals have entered ground water systems from surface spills and leaching from subsurface disposal sites. Of particular interest in this study was the contaminant tetrachioroethylene...
Construction of Performance Contours on the Storage-Yield Plane of a Within-Year Reservoir System
The reservoir storage-reliability-yield (S-R-Y) relationships developed in the past have considered only the probability of failure to meet the target requirements, but not the likely...
Comparison of Worst-Case and Probabilistic Approaches to Ocean Outfall Mixing Zone Analysis
Two approaches have been used for ocean outfall mixing zone analysis: worst-case approach and probabilistic approach. This paper discusses some advantages and disadvantages of the worst-case...
An Economy and Risk Analysis of Installed Capacity Expansion at the Three Gorges Power Plant
This paper studies the possibility and economy of peak-regulation operation during flood period at the Three Gorges reservoir, which will at the same time satisfy the requirements for...
