Impact of Risk-Based Analysis on Hydrologic Design Practices
This paper provides a brief review of the current hydrologic design practices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for safety inspection of dams and the current hydrologic design...
Estimation of the Probability of a Precipitation Event Occurring Over a Specified Watershed
A methodology is proposed for making rational flood control decisions when the physical characteristics of the upstream watershed are known and the characteristics of the extreme precipitation...
Cocohatchee River Basin Study
The report presents the modeling of the Cocohatchee River basin, including 2-D routings for wetland regimes, hydrologic/hydraulic analyses of the agricultural and suburban land uses, and...
A Synthetic Simulation Model of Storm Surge History and Inland Drainage in Coastal Zone Areas
In this paper, a synthetic storm surge model is proposed. With the input information of peak surge height, storm duration, and shape coefficients, this model is capable of simulating most...
Low-Land Hydraulics and Hydrodynamics
A hydrodynamic model is presented for simulation of wetland hydrodynamics. The model incorporates all elements of the hydrologic cycle, such as precipitation, runoff, groundwater seepage...
Santa Ana River Project Overview
The Santa Ana River Project, authorized for construction by the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, is designed to provide urban flow protection to the growing communities in Orange,...
Extraction of Terrain Features from Digital Elevation Models
Digital elevation models (DEMs) are being used to determine variable inputs for hydrologic models in the Delaware River basin. Recently developed software for analysis of DEMs has been...
Geographic Information System/Watershed Model Interface
Geographic information systems allow for the interactive analysis of spatial data related to water-resources investigations. A conceptual design for an interface between a geographic information...
Interfacing Geographic Information System Data with Real-Time Hydrologic Forecasting Models
This paper discusses a plan to incorporate remotely sensed spatial data into a real time hydrologic decision support system. Because of the nature of the hydrologic forecasting system,...
The Illinois GIS and Hydrologic Database
Development of the Illinois Geographic Information System (GIS) from 1983 to the present is described including the hardware configuration and ARC/INFO software. The database design at...
GIS Applications to the Water Resources Development Program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The ability that a Geographic Information System (GIS) offers to quickly reference multiple data sets to an overall base map and to one another provides the potential opportunity to greatly...
Evaluation of TR-55 on Coastal Watersheds
Results of a study of the applicability of TR-55 to coastal watersheds are presented. Historical data were used to evaluate curve number, time of concentration and unit hydrograph peak...
Hydrometric Networks Serving Hydropower Needs
The Water Resources Branch is the national agency that collects, interprets and disseminates standardized surface water quantity and sediment data and information in Canada. The Branch...
Hydraulic Model Tests of Flow around Penstock Suspended inside the Tunnel for Design of a Small Hydro
The proposed hydropower project in the State of Virginia involves design and construction of a steel penstock hung from the crown of an existing outlet tunnel at this U.S. Army Corps of...
New Clues to PMP
Great changes have occurred in meterology in the last two decades. Formerly, weather data were available for forecasting and climatological analyses only at points - at weather stations....
Capital Cost Modelling for Micro-Hydro Appraisal
Empirical capital cost models for mini- and micro-hydro installations have not been validated with consistent site information. This paper reviews cost modelling techniques and describes...
Efficiency Monitoring Yields Large Revenue Gains
This paper presents a Washington Water Power Company program to increase hydroelectric plant operations' efficiency. This increase is due to improved flow, head, and megawatt...
Understanding Generator Static Excitation System
