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...
Computer Model for Infiltration System Design
This paper describes a personal computer model which was developed to assist in the design and analysis of infiltration systems. The systems included in the model are infiltration basins,...
Artificial Recharge of Aquifers
Artificial groundwater recharge is a means of replenishing groundwater supplies with surface water which might otherwise be lost. Artificial groundwater recharge has also been used to...
Miami International Airport Stormwater NPDES Plan
Miami International Airport (MIA) is endeavoring to essentially double its traffic volume by the turn of the century. This is a great challenge since the site is already highly developed....
Hydrodynamic Forces in Hydraulic Jump Stilling Basins
The knowledge of hydrodynamic forces acting on hydraulic jump stilling basin slabs has been a research topic for the past four decades. Published methodologies for computing the hydrodynamic...
Frequency of the 1993 Flood in the Upper Mississippi River Basin
The frequency of the 1993 flood in the upper Mississippi River Basin is characterized by applying Bulletin 17B and L-moment methods to 111 unregulated watersheds in the basin. The analysis...
Damage to Highway Infrastructure 1993 Mississippi River Basin Flooding
A study has been initiated to investigate the basin-wide impact of the 1993 Mississippi River Basin flooding on damage to the highway infrastructure. The study involves site investigations...
Integrated Planning for International River Basin
The integrated development of the Vardar/Axios Basin includes a system of projects scheduled to meet the needs and aspirations of Yugoslavia (in particular, the former Socialist Republic...
Threshold Precipitation Events and Groundwater Recharge
Data from two study sites on the Nevada Test Site, Nevada are used with precipitation data from other long-term precipitation gages to identify the frequency of precipitation events that...
Development of Transport Model for Groundwater Planning and Management in Taipei Basin
The objective of this paper is to develop a groundwater model for contaminant transport simulation. The transport model, in conjunction with the previously developed flow model, is used...
Flood Monitoring Network In Southeastern Louisiana
A flood monitoring network has been established to alert emergency operations personnel and the public about hydrologic conditions in the Amite River Basin. The U.S. Geological Survey...
Energy Dissipation for a RCC Stepped Spillway
A two-dimensional physical model study was used to quantify the kinetic energy dissipation of the steps in a roller compacted concrete (RCC) stepped spillway. The steps were effective...
A New Formula for Mean Velocity in Torrents
In this paper we present a new equation for mean velocity in torrents based on travel time measurements and geomorphological relations. Here, the emphasis is not on understanding the physical...
Determination of Sediment Profile for a Dry Flood Control Basin
A modification of the standard delta profile method was used to estimate the sediment profile in a dry flood control basin. Dry flood control basins do not have a normal operating pool...
Scour Hole Depth Downstream of the SAF stilling Basin
A Model to predict the maximum local scour depth downstream of the SAF stilling basin is presented. The model is based on stability analysis of a particle attacked by the hydrodynamic...
Three-Dimensional Simulations of Ground Motions in Sedimentary Basins
This report describes work being done at the U.S. Geological Survey on 3-D simulations of earthquake ground motions in sedimentary basins. The ultimate goal of this research is to predict...
Using Environmental Tracers to Estimate Recharge Through an Arid Basin
Multiple tracer techniques were used to estimate recharge rates through unsaturated alluvium beneath the Greater Confinement Disposal site, a waste disposal site located in Frenchman Flat,...
Basin Scale Management of Surface and Ground Water
An important element in the economic development of many regions of the Great Plains is the availability of reliable water supply. The primary supply has tended towards developing groundwater...
Natural, Cultural, & Environmental Resource Values Influencing Colorado River Basin Management
The Colorado River Basin supplies water to the seven western states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and California, and to Mexico. Originally the Colorado River...
Development of Bioretention Practices for Stormwater Management
This paper introduces the concept of bioretention as an innovative stormwater quality management practice. Bioretention is a method to treat the first flush of runoff using a combination...
