Siting the New Boston Harbor Outfall: Near-Field Analysis
In the near-field analysis for Boston's proposed Deer Island outfall to Massachusetts Bay, multiple initial dilution calculations were applied to estimate the frequency distribution...

Water and Sediment Quality Analyses for the New Boston Wastewater Outfall
This paper describes portions of the farfield hydrodynamic and water quality modeling conducted during preparation of the Boston Harbor Wastewater Conveyance System Supplemental Environmental...

Receiving Water Modeling for CSO Investigations in Boston Harbor
The computer models QUAL2EXP and TEA/ELA were used to model Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) remediation alternatives in Boston Harbor and its major tributaries. The models were adapted to...

Integrating Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models for Patuxent Estuary
A two-dimensional mass transport model has been developed to integrate a hydrodynamic model and a water quality model for the Patuxent Estuary, Maryland. In this study, a two-dimensional,...

Boundary Fitted Estuarine Water Quality Model
A two-dimensional, vertically-averaged boundary fitted coordinate pollutant transport model was developed for application to estuarine and coastal sea regions. The governing convective-diffusion...

Contaminant Loading from Fox River to Lower Green Bay
The heavily industrialized lower reach of the Fox River, downstream of the DePere Dam, and lower Green Bay, Lake Michigan, are modeled. Hydrodynamics and contaminant transports to the...

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Pollutant Transport
A numerical model for pollutant transport in coastal waters has been developed in x-y-z-t space. The simplicity of a fixed Eulerian mesh and a computationally efficient Lagrangian approach...

Model Comparisons of Oyster Recruitment in Delaware Bay
A second order particle trajectory model using surface currents from a three-dimensional model of Delaware Bay was run for a period equivalent to the larval stage of the oyster C. virginica...

Comparison of Computed and Observed Velocities at Three Estuarine Sites
The Generalized, Longitudinal-Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport model (GLVHT) has been applied to the Patuxent River estuary, the Raritan River Estuary and the Arthur Kill. The applications...

Assessing Nonpoint Pollution Potential of Surface Waters Using a Geographic Information System
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to determine the susceptibility of surface waters to nonpoint pollution is described. The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS)...

Utility of a GIS in Watershed Management?A Case Study
A geographic information system data base was established for a small watershed in Shelby County, Tennessee, for both surface and subsurface water attributes. The surface water portion...

An Interactive Computer Model to Simulate Water Quality of Streamflow from Forested Watersheds in Arizona
To better formulate water resources policies and management strategies, a computer model that simulates concentrations of dissolved chemicals in snowmelt-runoff from forested watersheds...

Rainfall Simulation Studies of Nutrient Export from Watersheds in Arizona and New Mexico
Data from rainfall simulation experiments conducted in Arizona and New Mexico were used to identify relationships between total suspended sediment (TSS) concentrations (kg/ha/mm of runoff)...

Validation of Hydrophysical Components of a One-Dimensional Lake Model
A dynamic one-dimensional lake model has been developed in alternative structures, MINLAKE and FRMPND, for water-quality control strategies and lake eutrophication studies. Hydrophysical...

AGNPS: A Tool for Watershed Planning
The AGNPS model was developed to provide a means of assessing water quality impacts from agricultural watersheds. AGNPS simulates sediment and nutrient transport from the headwaters to...

Effects of Mining, Grazing, and Roads on Sediment and Water Chemistry in Birch Creek, Nevada
Assessment of the cumulative effects of mining and other land uses on water quality of Birch Creek showed that mine dumps and roads increased fine sediment deposits in some reaches. Fines...

Watershed Condition and Riparian Health: Linkages
This paper discusses linkages between riparian areas and their contributing watersheds and how using this knowledge will enhance overall watershed management success. The paper presents...

Watershed Planning in Western Pennsylvania?A Case Study
This paper presents and describes the watershed planning activities being pursued in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The regulatory, institutional, and technical framework of the planning...

Comprehensive Watershed Management Planning?A Case Study - The Magothy River
As a means of preserving and improving the water resources of Anne Arundel County in the State of Maryland, the County government undertook a comprehensive watershed management program....

Biodiversity in Riparian Communities and Watershed Management
Riparian communities are demonstrated to be regional centers of biodiversity and biomass. Examples are taken primarily from bird and lizard communities in the Southwest, since these vertebrates...
