Modeling of Wetland Hydrodynamics and Transport in Coastal Louisiana
Modeling of hydraulics and transport of large wetland systems poses critical decisions between resolution of the complex geometry of a wetland and the testing required to meet study goals....
Hydrodynamic Modeling of Bolsa Chica, California, Proposed Wetland Enhancements
The California State Lands Commission (SLC) requested US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC), to conduct engineering studies for...
Finite Element Modeling of Flow in Wetlands
Requirements for developing a mathematical model of unsteady flow in wetlands are suggested. An equivalent continuum approximation is appropriate to avoid problems of describing the turbulence...
Enhancing Effluent Water Quality of Sedimentation Basins Using Constructed Wetlands Technology
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has constructed twelve wetlands to treat acid drainage at reclaimed coal mines and fossil-fueled power plants. These wetlands are designed primarily...
Influence of Wetlands on Streamflow in Illinois
Streamflow records from 30 gaging stations in Illinois were analyzed to assess the influence of wetlands on streamflow. The objective of this research was to determine if streamflow parameters...
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...
Wetland Drainage and Streamflow Trends in Illinois
Long-term streamflow records from 30 gaging stations in Illinois were analyzed to assess the impact of wetland drainage on streamflow trends. The objective of the research was to determine...
Coastal Wetlands
This proceedings,
Coastal Zone '91
Coastal Zone '91 is the seventh in a series of biennial multidisciplinary symposia on comprehensive coastal and ocean management. The papers included in this proceedings review...
Landfill Park: From Eyesore to Asset
By reclaiming a 50 acre landfill as a recreational area, Cambridge, Mass. increased its open space by 20%. The park includes three softball and three soccer fields, one multisport field,...
Regional Estimates of Gas Transfer Using an Airborne System
The aircraft-based eddy correlation technique was recently used to obtain regional observations of transfer processes of sensible and latent heat as well as carbon dioxide over wetlands...
Site Considerations for Marina Development?A Planning & Environmental Inventory
This paper is an outline presentation of methods and procedures required by any entity, whether municipal or private, desiring to properly establish, expand or renovate a marina facility....
Application of the GRASS Geographic Information System in a Sensitive Environment of the Arkansas River Navigation System
A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to assist the selection of environmentally sensitive dredge material disposal sites along the Arkansas River Navigation System. Maintenance...
Successful Siting Incentives
Citizen opposition to the siting of facilities that store, produce or use hazardous materials is both widespread and problematic. There are siting incentives that have worked to allay...
Inclusion of Wetlands in Designated Floodway Studies
The purpose of this paper is to propose a change in the traditional methods and procedures used by hydrologist and hydraulic engineers to define floodways and floodway fringe areas. We...
Hydrologic Analysis Model for Screening Wetland Restoration Sites in the Rainwater Basin, Nebraska
Historically, the Rainwater Basin in south central Nebraska contained approximately 4,000 wetlands. Today, over 90 percent of those wetlands have been lost, primarily due to drainage for...
Sediment Yield and Accumulation in the Cache River
Sediment data collected in the Cache River basin of southern Illinois were used to calculate the sediment yield from tributary streams draining into a significant wetland area. Sediment...
Storm Water Management and Wetland Restoration?Ballona Channel Wetlands
A storm water management plan was engineered to provide storm water dention necessary for site develop and at the same time to allow wetland restoration. Objectives of the project were:...
River Engineering and Environmental Resources
The federal government and the Corps of Engineers (CE) are committed to preserving and enhancing environmental quality. Research and development support for this commitment in the realm...
Yesterday's Swamp
Since the mid-80s there has been an explosion of engineering firms entering the wetlands design and restoration market. As yesterday's bogs and swamps, once drained and filled...
