Effect of Surface Water and Ground Water Interaction on Atrazine Transport to Pumping Wells
High concentrations of agricultural chemicals in flood waters have been reported in many Midwestern rivers and streams. The public water supply wells of a number of riparian communities...
Pollutant Transport Across Porous Stream Beds
The presence of porous streambeds generates a significant interaction between the main stream flow above it and the flow through the porous sub-stratum. This coupling affects both flows,...
Identifying Trends from Streamflow Records?A Case Study
Historical streaniflow records for the Ruby River, in southwestern Montana were analyzed for trends and for changes in the precipitation-runoff relationship. Trends were first identified...
The Last Two Extreme Floods in Germany?Analyses and Consequences
The last two extreme floods in Germany occurred in December 1993/January 1994 and January 1995 within the River Rhine basin with both floods having different causes. In a comparison study,...
Impact of Anthropogenic Activities in Rivers Upon Accuracy of Hydrological Forecasts and on Development of Forecasting Methodologies?Experiences from the Slovak-Hungarian Reach of Danube
The Danube, as an international river, crosses eight states of Europe. This calls for the need of close cooperation of the Danubian countries, particularly for operational forecasts issuance,...
Quantitative Monitoring of Plata River Basin Waters
The governments of Argentina, Bolivia. Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, represented in the First Extraordinary Meeting of Chancellors of the Nations bordering the Plata River Basin, held...
Design and Construction of the Santa Ana River Wash Crossing of the Inland Feeder
The Inland Feeder Pipeline passes beneath the Santa Ana River in Southern California. The flood plain of the river provides the habitat for two endangered species and to avoid surface...
California Border Environment Activities Since Passage of NAFTA
This paper presents a summary of the activities undertaken by the State of California to improve the border environment since passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)...
Modeling Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources
As part of the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) comprehensive evaluation of the economic effects of climate change in the United States, we have developed methods...
Reduction of Downstream Impacts Through Use of Variable Detention Basin Volume Requirements
The Pre-post Match is the standard policy for regulating the design of detention basins for new developments despite evidence showing that as multiple developments occur in a watershed,...
Floodplain Analysis of the Lower Santa Margarita River in Camp Pendleton Marine Air Base, California
Floods of 1993 caused extensive flooding of the Santa Margarita River, and significant damage to Camp Pendleton. A floodplain analysis was performed including an assessment of recent flood...
At-A-Station Temporal Variations in Flow under Drought and Flood Conditions and Associated Sediment Problems
The way flow variations take place with time under drought and flood conditions, in comparison with normal flow condition, has been investigated along with the related sediment transport...
Characterization of Canal Operations under Ideal Anticipatory Control
A dimensionless formulation of a gate.stroking model is being used to study general characteristics of control measures that need to be applied upstream in single.pool canal systems to...
Optimization and Simulation in Design and Operation of Reservoirs
Due to stochastic nature of rivers, their volumetric yields are random variables. Spatial and temporal redistribution of Water makes the reservoir construction a must. Therefore, water...
Multiobjective Optimization of Multireservoir System
In the present study, a detailed multiobjective nonlinear programming model is formulated and applied to a multireservoir system at upper reaches of Krishna river basin in Karnataka State,...
