The ADP Problems of a River Basin Commission
The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is an independent governmental agency that recently acquired its first in-house minicomputer system. The staff usage of this system has created two...

Hydrograph Decomposition: Using a Technical Database
Trouble shooting for infiltration/inflow (I/I) problems in a sewer system is made much easier with the aid of a computerized hydrograph decomposition methodology. A methodology has been...

A Computer Aided Approach to Missing Time-Series Data Replacement
The objective of this research is to design, construct, and demonstrate a computer utility which will interactively aid the time series researcher in choosing an appropriate missing data...

Variable Leachate Treatment System: A Cast Study
This paper explores the experience of the authors in collecting data and designing leachate collection and treatment facilities at municipal sanitary landfills over the last several years....

A Stepwise Approach to Environmental Systems Maintenance Management
This paper provides a systematic approach to establishing a maintenance management program for environmental infrastructure. It begins by discussing the definition of program objectives,...

Metal Contamination of Sludge by Water Supply Systems
The authors present a cursory review of the source of metals in sewage sludge and an analysis of limited sludge metal data and drinking water data that supports the hypothesis that a water...

Conveyance Losses Due to Reservoir Releases
Three natural streams in Wyoming were studied in order to estimate incremental conveyance losses associated with incremental increases in stream flow. For each study area, all surface...

Daily Weather Forecasts Used to Manage Soil-Water
This paper describes a newly developed method for analyzing the rainfall probability data included in daily weather forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. The purpose is to...

Monitoring the Chesapeake Bay Fish Spawning Grounds with Aerostats and Remote Sensing Equipment
A brief review is given of the effects of acid rain and other pollutants on the fish spawning grounds in the Chesapeake Bay area. Given the need for improved monitoring of the Bay and...

Hurricane Evacuation Studies, an Overview of Major Analyses
The purpose of this manuscript is to present the methods employed, the types of data generated and the interrelationships of the major analyses conducted for a hurricane evacuation study....

The Use of Thematic Mapper Data for the Identification and Analysis of Small Island Land Covers: The Case of Block Island
This paper describes the classification (unsupervised) of a portion of the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) scene covering Block Island, Rhode Island and surrounding waters. The Landsat system...

A Carrying Capacity Study of Hatteras Island
This article summarizes a study done of Hatteras Island, North Carolina, a largely undeveloped and natural barrier island. 'Carrying capacity' means the ability...

Rock Masses
Modeling of Underground Openings/Probability of Slope Failure/Fracture of Intact Rock
While soil mechanics has been the dominant interest of Civil Engineers since Karl Terzaghi's recognition of the principle of effective stress, rock mechanics is becoming increasingly...

Experimental and Field Observation of Dynamic Behavior of Buried Pipelines
Cyclic torsion, axial pull-out, and bending data from experiments conducted on jointed utility pipelines buried at several depths are presented. It is found that linear relationships exist...

Computational Model for Computing Dune Erosion
This paper summarizes the development of a computer model for determining potential beach and dune erosion along the Florida Panhandle. The results have been used as a guide in delineating...

Real-Time Monitoring for Ohio Basin Water Management
The Ohio River Division (ORD) of the Corps of Engineers operates 77 reservoirs in this basin for the purposes of flood control, conservation, hydropower, low flow augmentation, water supply,...

Real-Time Monitoring and Flood Forecasting in Harris County, Texas
A new automated flood warning system is now serving the 2,700,000 residents of Houston, Harris County, Texas. Real-time rainfall and river level data from more than 90 sensors are automatically...
