Introduction to Remote Sensing for Irrigation and Drainage
Remote sensing is a rapidly emerging technology that has many potential applications to irrigation, drainage and hydrologic engineering. This paper, the first of four, introduces the reader...

ET from Shallow Groundwater Maintained by Controlled-Drainage/Subirrigation System
Soil-water management by maintaining a shallow groundwater level (watertable) via a dual purpose subdrainage-subirrigation system, is becoming popular in humid regions of the United States...

Water's New World
Potential applications of computer automation in the water industry have become increasingly apparent in the last several years. A growing number of water agencies are considering purchasing...

Highway Design in 3-D
Limitations in the flexibility and intelligence of commercial roadway design packages led Hart-Freeland-Roberts, Inc., Brentwood, TN, to write its own highway design software. From the...

Cranes, Concrete, Construction...and Computers
Computers are already firmly entrenched in the design process. Now, they're touching all corners of construction. Applications range from traditional project management tasks...

Appropriate Technology for Flood Warnings
Computers can help protect cities and other developed areas by enhancing flood warning systems, but smaller communities may not be able to take advantage of their sophistication. The Corps...

Expert Systems: Ready to Hit the Road?
Expert systems, programs that take the rules a person uses to solve a problem and encodes them into a computer, are starting to get serious examination from DOTs around the country. The...

CAD and the Corps
CAD has been a near standard feature of engineering design for the last decade, but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has found that the way their installations have gone about designing...

The Use of Sophisticated Three-Dimensional Numerical Models in Weather Modification Efforts
Understanding of the complex interactions between the mesoscale and cloud environment and between microphysical and dynamical processes within clouds can be substantially increased with...

Planning, Design and Integration of a Computerized Terminal Operating System
NYK Line's new terminal at the Port of Los Angeles (photograph below) features innovative design and advanced terminal operating system integration....

Planning/Analysis of VPA's Norfolk North Terminal
The Virginia Port Authority (VPA) is developing a new marine container terminal on the northern portion of its land at Norfolk International Terminals (NIT). The terminal is to be designed...

A Computational Berthing Model for the Design of Fender Systems
The IRF numerical model has not been widely applied to the design of fender systems although the method has been extensively confirmed by hydraulic model tests and partially verified by...

Honolulu Harbor Ship Traffic Simulation and Animation Study
A computer simulation and animation study was conducted to investigate the operational impacts of projected ship traffic increases and harbor reconfiguration specified in the Honolulu...

Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors Model Enhancement Program
In response to the expansion of oceanborne world commerce, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, in coordination with the Los Angeles District of the U.S. Army Corps of...

Use of Interactive Simulation Environments for the Development of Negotiation Tools
Interactive computer programs have been used successfully for many years to facilitate the planning and operation of water resources. Recently, advances in computer software have made...

Use of Interactive Simulation Environments for Evaluation of Water Supply Reliability
This paper investigates physical performance measures and their practical application to a regional water resource system for western Washington. Specific criteria for characterizing the...

Computer-Aided Support for Water Quality Modeling of the Russian River
A computer-aided support system for operation of the QUAL2E-UNCAS modeling packaged has been developed for modeling of the Russian River, California. The system has been created under...

A Decision Support System for Water Quality Modeling
A prototype Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed to evaluate the environmental and economic consequences of alternative farming practices. This system was developed to help...

Modified QUAL2E Modeling of a Stream Acutely Impacted by Photosynthesis and Respiration
The QUAL2E model was modified to account for time variable headwater conditions and the photosynthesis and respiration of attached aquatic plants. With these modifications, a stream that...

Hydrologic Investigation of the April, 1983 Flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana
During the rainstorm of April 6-7, 1983, a shell ramp was constructed over State Highway 406, closing the relatively shallow depression formed by the roadway passing over the levee which...
