Hydraulic Profile Computation Using CADD
The data preparation can also be performed by directly recording onto a computer tape the aerial survey cross section ground points and the field survey work. A computer program can then...
Building Assessment Techniques for Indoor Air Quality Evaluations
Techniques for indoor air quality evaluations are presented and discussed. The techniques presented first focus on procedures to determine effective ventilation rates and pathways of air...
Computer Control of Lift Station Operations
A unique computerized control system to supervise the operation of several lift stations has been designed by Boyle Engineering Corporation (Boyle) and constructed by the City of Orlando,...
Quality Assessment Standards & Low-Level Nuclear Waste: How Standards Have Been Developed and Applied
The authors examine the application of organized quality assurance procedures to the nuclear industry since 1970....
Fate and Transport of Metals in a River System
A steady-state model was developed that describes the fate of metals in a shallow river system. Settling and resuspension of solids were defined through empirical equations relating a...
Relating Water Treatment Problems to O & M Factors
The author discusses the operations and maintenance factors that must be considered in dealing with water treatment problems....
A Survey of Anaerobic Digester Operations
In 1981, the ASCE Task Committee on Anaerobic Digestion conducted a survey of wastewater treatment plants throughout the country regarding the use of anaerobic digestion. The two-part...
Optimization Issues in the Design and Control of Large Space Structures
The optimization and identification issues which arise in the design and control of large flexible space structures are reviewed. The first paper examines the use of several different...
Water Quality Impacts From a Flood Control Reservoir
Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to evaluate the impact of a flood control reservoir located on the Des Moines River in central Iowa on seven water quality parameters:...
Effect of Best Management Practices on Water Quality in the Appoquinimink Watershed
As part of its 208 program related work, the Water Resources Agency for New Castle County, Delaware, has been involved in an agricultural nonpoint source pollution control program since...
Predicting Quality for Drainage Water Management
In 1982, 405 measurements of the subsurface drainage water quality parameter electrical conductivity (EC) in ds/m were collected. The data were obtained from 15 subsurface drains on 23...
Scheduling in Manually Controlled Canal Irrigation Delivery Systems
The effects of canal transients on scheduling water delivery to an irrigated area are described using a linearized form of flow equation obtained from a zero-inertia momentum equation...
Interagency Coordination in Louisiana's Coastal Zone
The vast, diverse, and fragile coastal wetlands of Louisiana face continual problems, including flooding, shoreline erosion, land loss, destruction by hurricanes, channel dredging, dredge...
Managing Shoreline Changes in the Presence of Nearshore Shoal Migration and Attachment
The purpose of this paper is to describe these events in detail and illustrate the need for better understanding of erosion/deposition patterns around tidal inlets. Periodic beach surveys...
Marine Geological Studies on the Coastal Zone of Kerala
The largest of the estuaries in Kerala, the Vembanad lake formed by the backwater, has been investigated in detail with reference to bathymetry, sediments and geochemistry. A considerable...
Myrtle Beach, S.C. A Shorefront Management Plan
The primary objectives of the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Shorefront Management Plan were to minimize, if not eliminate, the need for structural beach erosion control measures along the...
Discharge Zone Classification System for Southern Puget Sound
This paper identifies marine areas where new or expanded discharges are unacceptable based on existing knowledge; e. g. , water quality standards are currently not met, and impairment...
The Review of the Comprehensive Survey of the Coastal Zone of China
The purpose of the survey is to provide basic data for coastal zone development of China. The scope of survey is a long narrow belt area alongshore. The contents of the survey include...
Modern and Historic Mapping of Tidal Marshlands of San Francisco Bay, California
In this work, studies were made of two marshland sites shown on the old maps that presently remain subject to tidal action. For each site, historic maps dating from the 1850's were accurately...
Geologic Review: A Successful Procedure for the Minimization of the Impact of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production on Louisiana Wetlands
An effective procedure to minimize the amount of wetlands impacted by oil and gas well access routes has been developed. The procedure consists of a stringent geologic review of every...
