The Integrated Systems Approach to Facilities Management
This paper investigates the condition and use of the systems for facilities management and discusses process and considerations for improving the long term value of integrated facilities...
Software for Settlement Analysis
The software most widely used in engineering practice as well as for general purposes consists of word processors, spreadsheets, and databases, and these are useful for settlement analysis...
Methods for Risk and Reliability Analysis
Recently, there has been considerable emphasis on the state of decay in the nation's infrastructure because of its importance to society's needs and industrial growth. Water distribution...
Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
The aging and deterioration of our water supply infrastructure have resulted in performance deficiencies. Limited budgets require that resources for maintenance and rehabilitation be allocated...
Water Infrastructure Risk Ranking and Filtering Method
The availability of water distribution infrastructure is critical to the sustained support and growth of society. Water infrastructure consists of systems that carry water (pipe and irrigation...
Risk Analysis: Wet Weather Flows in S.E. Michigan
Institutional aspects of risk analysis are examined in two separate activities in the state of Michigan. The state of Michigan's relative risk project, patterned after the U.S. EPA's risk...
Flood Loss Assessment with Integrated Measures
In most cases, the maximum flood loss reduction can be achieved only by an optimal combination of both structural and nonstructural measures. An integrative approach that combines the...
Uncertainty versus Computer Response Time
Interactive on-line presentation of risk analysis results with immediate `what if' capability is now possible with available microcomputer technology. This can provide an effective means...
Environment-Irrigation Trade-Offs and Risks
Allocation of scarce water resources between environmental and commercial uses is an extremely important problem in many parts of the world. A study is under way in Australia to examine...
Risk and Reliability of Water Resources Infrastructure and Engineering Approaches to Risk and Reliability Analysis
The paper summarizes the second session of the conference which discussed the risk and reliability of water resources infrastructure as well as engineering approaches to risk and reliability...
Risk Management Strategies for Natural, Manmade, and Technological Hazards
The sixth session featured three important applications of risk and reliability analysis in water resources planning. Papers were presented on incentives to use reliability and risk analysis...
Control of Microbial Water Quality in the Little Rock, Arkansas Distribution System
Beginning in the summer of 1993, seasonal studies were undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of water treatment processes at Little Rock Municipal Water Works (LRMWW). Two treatment...
Flocculation Kinetics Using Fe(III) Coagulant to Coagulate Kaolin Clay in Water: Effects of Temperature
Flocculation kinetics using ferric nitrate as a coagulant to coagulate kaolin clay in water was examined using several experimental factors. Both the particle size distribution data obtained...
Assessing the Reliability of Low Pressure Membrane Systems for Microbial Removal
Low pressure membrane systems are used for microorganisms control in water treatment processes. In this article, the efficiency and reliability of this process is evaluated. Microorganism...
Automated ORP Control for Aerobic/Anoxic Cycling in Oxidation Ditch Treatment
The 1140 m3/d (0.3 mgd) Grand Coulee, WA. oxidation ditch was modified to incorporate a computer-control anoxic/aerobic cycle operation to investigate...
Contribution of Waterborne Radon to Home Air Quality
A controlled experiment was performed to explore the contribution of waterborne radon to home air quality and the effect of radon removal from a centralized water system on indoor radon...
Nation-Wide Bromide Occurrence and Bromate Formation Potential in Drinking Water Supplies
The average bromide concentration obtained in a survey of 101 nationwide drinking water utilities was almost 100 ?g/l. Whereas previous studies have targeted ozonation studies on waters...
Environmental Effects of Flooding at a USCG Base
In July of 1993, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Base St. Louis facility was flooded. As the flood waters receded and cleanup efforts were initiated, a number of environmental issues had to...
A 2D numerical simulation of the Po river delta flow
A numerical simulation of the steady flow in the proximity of the delta of the Po river has been carried out. We consider the 2D quasi-hydrostatic model, approximating non conservation...
