Rehabbing for Remediation
Workers for Moses Lake detected trichloroethylene (TCE) in three of the city's water wells. The concentrations were low, around 5 to 15 parts per billion, just above the maximum...
Buoy Directional Wave Measurements Using Magnetic Field Components
Directional wave data can be estimated using the heave, pitch and roll motion of a discus buoy, which are conventionally measured by a pitch-roll sensor. To reduce the size and cost, this...
A Method for Locating Spikes in a Measured Time Series
Raw directional wave sample time series are frequently contaminated with spikes from various sources. The standard procedure in correctly editing these time series includes locating and...
Application and Benefits of Aquifer Recharge in Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Sangre de Cristo Water Company (SDCW) operates a water supply and treatment system that serves the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Water is supplied to the system by the City Well Field,...
Aquifer Storage and Recovery in the Floridan Aquifer System of South Florida
This paper describes the feasibility, construction, testing, and storage zone development of the Boynton Beach Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well, the first successful ASR project...
Site Characterization by Artificial Neural Networks
Recently, an optimal groundwater management model has been developed to treat groundwater remediation problems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The objective of the model...
Evaluation of the Pagosa Springs Geothermal Reservoir and Implications of Potential Additional Reservoir Development
The Town of Pagosa Springs is located 280 miles from Denver on the north bank of the San Juan River in southwest Colorado as shown on the Index Map, Some time before 1920 the first well...
Recreating a Process: The West Georgia Regional Water Supply Plan
This paper describes the planning process used to develop a long-range water supply plan for a five-county area northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. Demand for water in the study area is projected...
Wetland Loss Rates and Agricultural Drainage
The current paper uses National Resources Inventory data to document the relation between private on-farm agricultural drainage investment activity and wetlands loss. The paper presents...
Hydrodiplomacy on Forester Creek
The goal of this paper is to share information regarding political battles confronting the engineer with regards to drainage issues and concerns. Very often drainage boundaries do not...
Recent Advances In Well Hydraulics
Most books and papers on well hydraulics are mostly or entirely aquifer hydraulics. The phrase, 'well hydraulics,' implies a study of the flow into and within a well proper. There has...
A Survey of Stormwater Infiltration Basins in the Puget Sound Region
A survey of 23 infiltration basins in the Puget Sound area was conducted to gain information on the performance of these systems and the degree of compliance with state agency guidelines....
Survey of Stormwater Detention State of Practice
A survey of stormwater professionals in the United States and Canada was conducted by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District in 1991 regarding the current state of practice in the...
Finite Strain Consolidation for Vertical Drains
Consolidation equations for vertical prefabricated drains which consider finite vertical strain of the soil are derived. Estimated consolidation times are shorter when finite soil strain...
Performance of Wick Drains Installed by Vibration
Settlement and piezometer data from construction of fills on Route I-291 in South Windsor, CT is analyzed for total settlement and coefficient of consolidation. The results are compared...
Vacuum-Assisted Consolidation of a Hydraulic Landfill
As part of the Pier 300 42-acre site ground modification project, a field test of vacuum-assisted preconsolidation of hydraulic fill was studied. The objective of the test was to assess...
