Bay/Delta Hydraulic Model?Thirty Years of Service

by Thomas H. Wakeman, US Army Corps of Engineers, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Soil Properties Evaluation from Centrifugal Models and Field Performance

Abstract:

The San Francisco Bay and Delta is an extremely complex estuarine system. During the past thirty years, the San Francisco Bay/Delta Hydraulic Model has proven to be a valuable scientific research tool aiding in the understanding of estuary hydrodynamics. The Model has assisted decision-makers in providing answers to questions associated with proposed plans for the estuary. Furthermore, the Model has kept pace with changing technology during this period by incorporating computer-control of data acquisition and tide generation. The Model continues to evolve, to meet the demands for reliable data by today's engineers, water resource planners and decision-makers.
