GIS-Integrated Surface Hydrology System
A GIS-based stormwater management system has been developed for the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners. The model draws all spacial data including watershed parameters, network...
Impact of Digital Elevation Model Grid Size on Extracted Drainage Parameters
The dependence of extracted drainage network properties on the spatial resolution of DEMs is investigated for a study basin. A series of raster DEMs of increasing cell size is generated...
Fate/Transport Modeling of Immiscible LNAPL in Unsaturated Aquifers
In the past ten years since enacting CERCLA and SARA regulations there is a lack of model to adequately address the fate/transport of immiscible constituents in groundwater systems. This...
Application of Vadose Zone Flow and Transport Models
This paper summarizes application of two subsurface flow and transport models at Superfund sites, and evaluation of a number of other unsaturated zone models. The screening level models...
Simulation of Contaminant Migration Under Conditions of Declining Ground Water Levels
A ground water flow and transport model was developed to simulate the migration of contaminants originating from an industrial site. The development and calibration of the model were based...
3D-Simulation of the Twin Lake Tracer Test
The 1983 Twin Lake tracer test was simulated using a three-dimensional finite element model. The model was calibrated comparing calculated and measured piezometric heads as well as vertical...
Augmented TINFLOW: A Deterministic Runoff Model with a Stochastic Rainfall Input
Augmented TINFLOW consists of a deterministic runoff model based on a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) description of a watershed. The rainfall input is created by simulating convective...
Real-Time Forecast and Its Use for Bradley Lake Project
A forecast model was developed to assist the project operator to make a realistic prediction of lake inflow and to optimize the water usage in Bradley Lake which has an active storage...
Reservoir Regulation and Real-Time Models for Trinity River Flood Prevention and Control
After unprecedented flooding from the Spring of 1989 through 1991 in the Trinity River basin, the Texas legislature allocated funds for flood related studies in Senate Bill 1543 (1991)....
Streamflow Forecasting for the Bradley Lake Project
The National Weather Service (NWS) uses a suite of software called NWS River Forecast System (NWSRFS) for operational river stage and streamflow forecasting. NWSRFS is a modular system...
Modeling Contaminant Migration from an Unlined Pond
A hybrid one-dimensional (1-D) vertical model coupled with a two-dimensional (2-D) aquifer model was applied to study the fate and transport of arsenic, fluoride, and orthophosphate resulting...
Protection of a 700-GPM Municipal Well Field with a 10-GPM Barrier Well: An Update After 8 Years of Remediation
In December 1978, a municipal well field developed by the Town of Acton, Massachusetts was shut down because of contamination by 1,1-dichloroethylene. Chemicals and process wash water...
Pumping or Slurry Walls?Which Works Best for Groundwater Containment?
Results of a numerical optimization model capable of designing containment systems for sites with three-dimensional groundwater flow indicate that site hydrogeology and economic considerations...
Watershed-Wide Stormwater Management Planning Issues
Pennsylvania counties are responsible for basinwide stormwater management planning under the Stormwater Management Act of 1978. The predominant engineering technique employed within these...
WSR-88D Precipitation Processing and Its Use in National Weather Service Hydrologic Forecasting
The National Weather Service (NWS), along with the Department of Defense and Transportation, have begun deployment of a new national network of weather radars referred to as the WSR-88D....
National Weather Service Interactive River Forecasting Using State, Parameter, and Data Modifications
Interactive flood and river flow forecasting using the National Weather Service Interactive Forecast Program (IFP) is outlined. The IFP is an extension of the National Weather Service...
A Review of Surface-Groundwater Interaction Models
Surface-water and groundwater systems are in continuous dynamic interaction. Processes such as infiltration from surface waters and precipitation, the discharge of groundwater to surface...
Real-Time Dynamic Flood Routing with NWS FLDWAV Model Using Kalman Filter Updating
Dynamic flood routing model based on the four-point implicit finite-difference solution of the complete one-dimensional Saint-Venant equations of unsteady flow are inherently deterministic....
Modelling Studies of Gas Venting and Steam Injection for NAPL Site Remediation
A fully coupled, fully implicit method for simulating gas injection and steam injection for in situ remediation of sites contaminated with volatile NAPL is presented. Numerical results...
A Numerical Model for Multiphase Flow and Transport Assessment of Migration of Petroleum Contaminants in the Subsurface
Modeling assessment of the subsurface migration and fate of petroleum hydrocarbons plays a critical role in addressing the environmental impacts of their numerous underground releases...
