Evaluation of System Constant Volume Control
System constant volume control (SCVC) has been developed for optimal control of canal systems. The objective of system constant volume control is to maintain a reference storage (or target...
Optimization of Water Distribution System with Blending Requirements
In a multi-source, multi-quality water distribution system, local water agencies often find that it is necessary to impose blending requirements to secure the desired water quality in...
Analyzing Water Balances and Ranking Maryland's Watersheds Related to Growth, Development and Loss of Habitat
One hundred thirty three watersheds comprising the entire state were analyzed for surface and ground water balance. Census population figures (1990) were allocated to the watersheds. Population...
Equity Measures for Selecting Sustainable Projects
Once implemented, a project may result in social, ecological, and economic impacts on both spatially and temporally distributed groups. Sustainable project selection requires that distributional...
Accessible Information
As the amount of data relating to U.S. environmental policy grows, geographic information systems and advanced visualization system technology are being applied extensively to site investigations...
Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation Engineering
This proceedings,
From Sediment to Solid
While closing a 32 acre, storm-water impoundment area contaminated with petroleum waste sediments at an oil refinery, engineers came up with a more-effective treatment plan that saved...
Cleaning Up Clay
Using soil vapor extraction to remove volatile organic compounds from ground water and unsaturated soils can achieve faster and more-complete cleanups than conventional pump-and-treat...
Building an International Community of Structural Engineers
This proceedings, composed of two volumes, contains the papers presented at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Fourteenth Structures Congress held in Chicago, Illinois, USA,...
High Level Radioactive Waste Management 1996

A Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance of Port Facilities
Prepared by the Committee on Ports and Harbors Lifelines of the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE.
Visualizing the Flow
Digital modeling of passive cooling techniques now enables engineers to create comfortable environments in even the most unlikely of spaces�including glass atriums in the desert. Passive...
Shake, Rattle and Map
Researchers at Stanford's Earthquake Engineering Institute are developing an innovative system that uses geographic information systems to predict earthquake damage. A case study shows...
Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling held in San Diego, California, October 26-28, 1995. The conference included oral...
Operation and Maintenance of Ground Water Facilities
The objective of this manual,
River Hydraulics
This manual presents basic principles and technical procedures for analysis of open channel flows in natural river systems. Procedures described herein are considered appropriate and usable...
19 Tough Acts to Follow
The nominations for this year's Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award included everything from runway extensions to highway extensions, water fun parks to water...
Back to Bacteria: A More Natural Filtration
Drinking-water treatment used to be simple: use the best source available, filter if turbidity is present and add plenty of chlorine. Typically, these are the barriers that guard against...
Decision Support
A number of factors have combined to make a computer-based decision support system (DSS) for power system operations attractive to Great Lakes Power Limited (GLP), a private utility that...
Storm-Water Treatment Goes Underground
The field of storm-water management continues to evolve as practitioners gain more experience and knowledge from the successes and failures of the past. While we once treated every site...
