Selection of the Form of Calculated Flood Hydrograph in Projecting Water Release Facilities
Traditionally, in evaluating hydraulic structures, river flood runoff hydrographs are determined by maximum flood water volume and discharge, duration of the flood and some other parameters,...
The Part of Precipitation in Some Ecological Problems of the Dnister Basin
The purpose of the present paper is to study the peculiarity of precipitation falling in the Dnister basin, their distribution on territory, and research of several year's precipitation...
Impact of Point and Nonpoint Discharges on the Water Quality of a Reach of the Red River of the North
Projected increase of discharge of point and nonpoint-source effluents into rivers, make compliance with water quality standards increasingly difficult and necessitate controlling these...

Detailed Measurements of Scour at Bridges
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, has recently developed equipment and techniques for collecting detailed bathymetric and hydraulic data...
European Progress on river Renaturalisation
Most restoration projects in Europe have been designed to maximise species richness with little regard for channel stability. To recreate a sustainable natural channel it is necessary...
Ecological and Biological Considerations in River Restoration
When planning river restoration projects, proper consideration must be given to the target resources of concern. This should include provisions to meet the physical, hydraulic, and biological...
River Meander Zones and Floodplain Reconnection
A natural disturbance regime concept is described for understanding ecosystem changes due to human activities. Re-establishment of river meander zones is proposed as an application of...
Anaheim State-of-the-Art Water Treatment Plant?Six Years from Conception to Completion
After six years of intensive planning, budgeting, pilot testing, design, and construction, the City of Anaheim, California, has successfully completed the modifications to the 15 mgd Lenain...
Economic Efficiency of Regulations for Allocation and Control of Surface Water Withdrawals in Humid Regions
This paper proposes several alternative regulatory instruments for the allocation of flowing water and evaluates these instruments with respect to economic efficiency for a hypothetical...
Economic Risk Analysis as a Research Directing Paradigm
Risk analysis could be used to direct a manageable, prioritized strategic plan for evaluating bridge scour research needs. Through risk analysis, the costs of research and the potential...
Utilizing Geomorphic Analogs for Design of Natural Stream Channels
Engineering guidelines for the design of stable rock armored channels are well established. However, few guidelines exist for designers involved with the reconstruction of channels with...
Selection of Sediment Transport Relations: Part I, Review of Sediment Transport Comparisons
There are a great number of sediment transport relations in existence in the world today. The engineer is often faced with the problem of choosing the most appropriate relation for the...
Selection of Sediment Transport Relations: Part II, Ranges of Dimensionless Numbers
With a large number of sediment transport equations claiming to be applicable within various ranges of hydraulic and sediment parameters, engineers are often faced with the dilemma of...
Selection of Sediment Transport Relations Part III: Numerical Ranking of Sediment Transport Relations
The emphasis of this paper is the methodology for the selection of sediment transport relations and is applicable for analysis of any sediment transport relation. However, to illustrate...
Hydrodynamic Changes Associated with Navigation Traffic on the Upper Mississippi River System
Research has been conducted at the Illinois State Water Survey for the last five to seven years to collect field data from the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to determine the extent and...
Distributions of Return Flow in Navigable Waterways
Physical impacts of barge traffic on the riverine environment have drawn increasing attention from resource managers of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). Return flow, which can...
