Geographic Information Systems in Water Resources Management
The management of surface and ground water resources within Southern California is increasingly difficult. As population expands, municipal demands for water are increasing. At the same...
LISP or CLIPS: Selecting an Expert System Tool in Hydraulic Engineering
The transfer of Artificial Intelligence(AI) technology from the research laboratories to the scientific and engineering environments has been made possible by phenomenal advances in computer...
Low Flow Index and Hydrogeological Characteristics
This work is set within a framework of research on drought phenomena, causes and effects, and the methods to fight the harmful effects of droughts in the agricultural, municipal and industrial...
GIS Visualization Techniques in Surface Water Resource Planning
Geographic information system (GIS) computer graphic displays of surface water resource conditions provides a means for valuation-by-visualization (VBV) of alternate plans. GIS display...
Management of Water Resources Distribution in Iran
On the basis of 45th principle of the Iranian Constitution, seawater as well as river waters, streams and any other natural course, whether surface or underground, also floods, wastewaters,...
Wetland Drainage and Streamflow Trends in Illinois
Long-term streamflow records from 30 gaging stations in Illinois were analyzed to assess the impact of wetland drainage on streamflow trends. The objective of the research was to determine...
Drought-related West Tennessee Channel Bank Failures
Massive bank failures occurred in 1988 along a 14-kilometer reach of the lower Obion River channel in Dyer County, West Tennessee where the river flows through an abandoned Mississippi...
Development of Crop Coefficients Using Lysimeters
A long term record of evapotranspiration by grass as measured with the large weighing lysimeter at the University of California at Davis provided an excellent background for the initiation...
Design of Large Project Permit Management System
This paper provides a brief overview of the functional specifications for a Permit Tracking and Evaluation System (PTES) which is interfaced to the master schedule of design and construction...
Resource-Driven Scheduling
As the project management techniques get applied to more and more human resource intensive projects, the topic of more effective resource planning has become one of the major issues in...
Characteristics of Low-Slope Streams that Affect O2 Transfer Rates
Multiple-regression techniques were used to derive the reaeration coefficients estimating equation for low sloped streams: K2 = 3.83 MBAS-0.41...
Development of an Expert System for Estimating Stream Reaeration Rates
This paper describes a data base of measured reaeration coefficients organized to assist users with estimating coefficients for rivers and streams with hydraulic characteristics similar...
Carbon Dioxide Pressure in Surface Waters of Canadian Lakes
Direct measurements of the partial pressure (pCO2) of carbon dioxide were made in lakes of three study areas: ELA (the Experimental Lakes Area) and...
Epilimnetic Dissolved Oxygen Content and Surface Water Pump Performance
Surface water pumps have been operated and monitored at TVA's Douglas Dam since 1987. The purpose of these pumps is to improve the dissolved oxygen (DO) content of the hydropower...
Gas Transfer Velocities on Lakes Measured with Sulfur Hexafluoride
Gas transfer velocities have been determined on five lakes ranging in size from 0.13 km2 to 450 km2 using...
Technology Development for Auto-Venting Turbines
Experimentation with venting air into the hydroturbines at Norris Dam has convinced the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that this is a viable method for increasing dissolved oxygen (DO)...
A Simple Empirical Model of Aeration at Navigation Dams
In a study of aeration at 28 dams in the upper Ohio River basin, site-specific least-squares linear regression models were used to describe the dissolved oxygen deficit below each dam...
Sidestream Elevated Pool Aeration Station Design
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) is constructing a system of five Sidestream Elevated Pool Aeration (SEPA) stations along the 35.8 mile Calumet River,...
Field Tests on a Bubbleless Membrane Aerator
A novel bubbleless hollow fiber membrane aerator has been developed and tested for the oxygenation of water. In this process pure oxygen is maintained on the inside of a bundle of sealed,...
