Abstract:

Abstracts are presented for the seventy-three papers delivered at the conference, Inland Waters '80. Topics of discussion include United States and Canadian water management and planning, water law and the civil engineer, optimality in urban systems design and operation, water quality modeling and planning, water resources planning and management, and social and environmental objectives. Considerable attention is given to the Great Lakes including coastal zone management, ecological systems and ecosystem management. Case studies are presented for the Great Lakes area, the Fox River Valley in Wisconsin, the Chesapeake Bay and other areas. Many disciplines are represented here including engineering, law, ecology, economics, sociology, public health, and politics. Primary concerns in many of the papers are institutional arrangements and the joint management of water quality and water quantity. The conference was sponsored by the ASCE Water Resources Planning and Management Division in cooperation with University of Wisconsin, the Great lake Commission and others.
