Regional Water Supply Development in the SWFWMD
Regional water supply authorities have been formed within the Southwest Florida Water Management District in an effort to meet growing water demands of a rapidly expanding population....
Decision Support System for Water Supply Planning
A decision support system (DSS) has been developed to assist water use planners and technical staff of the Southwest Florida Water Management District in choosing appropriate supply alternatives...
Optimization Model for the Control of Saltwater Intrusion
An optimization model is presented for the control of saltwater intrusion in the Jakarta groundwater basin. A quasi three dimensional, finite difference simulation model is used to predict...
Heuristic Optimization of Water Distribution Systems
A design heuristic for the optimization of water distribution systems is presented. Algorithm TREESEARCH finds a near optimal core tree layout. Algorithm REDUNDANCY adds redundant links...
A Logical Variable Approach to Water Supply Reliability
The calculation of the reliability that water will be available at a demand point in a distribution network is complicated by the redundancy of paths from the source to the point. The...
Managing Water Supply and Demand with Integrated Computer Models
Water resource planning and management has greatly benefited from the use of computer modeling. Numerous computer models have been developed to predict expected outcomes given a set of...
Utility System Demand Forecasting Using Land Use Coefficients
In rapidly changing areas where several divergent paths of future growth are possible, there are advantages to forecasting future water demands and wastewater flows using the water and...
Myocardial Wall Stress: A Clinician's View
Definition of left ventricular (LV) wall stress is a parameter which has a valid application in clinical medicine. This paper discusses this application as it pertains to various cardiac...
Toxicity Bio-Assays, 5-Day BOD and
This article revisits some of the basic definitions of toxicity bioassays and 5-day BOD and questions the the precision of these measuements and the long duration of these tests....
Atlantic Salmon Smolt Movement and Behavior at Vernon Hydroelectric Station
Behavior of emigrating Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar) was studied at New England Power Company's (NEP) Vernon Hydroelectric Station located on the Connecticut River,...
Use of Lysimetric Measurements for Designing Major Irrigation Systems in the USSR
The bioclimatic method for calculation of crop water requirements has been widely used in the USSR in recent years. The author has analyzed the results of its application for designing...
Conventional Storm Drainage Which Recharges the Groundwater
Since the demand for water is on the rise, more resourceful means of retaining and controlling the release of stormwater is needed. This retained stormwater may then be used for aesthetic...
Dissolved Oxygen and Woody Debris: Detecting Sensitive Forest Streams
Early watershed studies showed that timber harvesting and yarding could depress dissolved oxygen in nearby streams when fresh slash entered streams and streamside shade was reduced. State...
A Fleet Management System for Road Transportation
In this paper, an architecture for a fleet management system for road transportation companies is being proposed. This fleet management system integrates planning support with mobile communications...
Routing Based on Anticipated Travel Times
The routing of drivers based on anticipated as well as instantaneous link travel times has presented route guidance system developers with an opportunity to achieve additional IVHS benefits...
Bus Pre-Emption: A Real Time Control Strategy for Privatized Transit Operation
Bus pre-emption strategies are designed to provide priority to transit buses over passenger cars for urban travel. A comparative analysis of a proposed suburban bus service for regular...
Dynamic Estimation of Freeway Demand Patterns and a Stochastic Programming Approach to Freeway Ramp Metering
Controlling the rate at which vehicles are allowed to enter a freeway from the freeway's on-ramps has become a standard method for reducing the impact of both recurring and...
