Using the Microcomputer in the Software Development Process
The migration of the computer from the controlled environment of a computer room to the office desk-top provides the software engineer with a convenient and effective tool for enhancing...

Hydrologic and Hydraulic Calibration?A Case Study (a)
The Addison Creek watershed is in Cook and DuPage Counties just west of Chicago, Illinois. Because the watershed has a history of major flooding, eight major stormwater and flood control...

TRUMPET: A TR20plus Watershed Model?Version 1.04
The TRUMPET watershed model is a microcomputer application which expands upon the widely used SCS TR20 hydrology computer program by providing user-friendly, interactive input and file...

Comparison of Two Methods for Modeling Urban Runoff
The techniques currently available for modeling urban runoff can generally be grouped into discrete and lumped system approaches. The storm water management model (SWMM) provides procedures...

Daily Water Budget Model for Water Resources Management
A daily water budget model has been developed and tested for the Clinch and Powell watersheds located in SW Virginia and NE Tennessee. The model integrates available data and simulates...

Computerized Bridge Coding for HEC-2 Applications on I.B.M. P.C.
A computer program for conversion of survey field notes directly into SB, BT, and GR cards with simultaneous cross-section plot is described. It was designed to simplify the coding of...

Floodplain-Management Plan Enumeration
A branch-and-bound enumeration procedure can improve the search for an optimal floodplain-management plan. The procedure compares the net benefit of all possible combinations of proposed...

Continuous Drainage System Modeling of Jones Run
A generalized package of hydrologic and hydraulic models has been developed for the quantitative analysis of watersheds and drainage networks. The package is called ODWAP (the Old Dominion...

Introducing Geostatistics?Estimating Spatial Data
The theory of regionalized variables commonly known as geostatistics is now being applied throughout the community of engineering and sciences. Measurements taken at different locations,...

Computing in Civil Engineering
Microcomputers to Supercomputers
This book contains papers presented at the Fifth Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering. Computer applications in specific disciplines are covered. These include construction engineering...

Getting the VOCs Out of Well Water
Two technologies are successfully removing volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from groundwater supplies. Not surprisingly, since the application is new, many of the designs were not optimized...

The Effect of Seeding on Convective Cells in West Texas
The effect on convective cells of randomized seeding for dynamic effects in the Southwest Cooperative Program is addressed. Analysis of three-dimensional, volume-scan, radar data using...

Evaluation of Infiltration Equations Used in Surface Irrigation
Computer simulations of an irrigation event were conducted using 6 full hydrodynamic models. All 6 models used the same surface flow equations and a different infiltration component. The...

Determining Transit Losses for Water Deliveries by Use of Stream-Aquifer Models
Hydrologic modeling of stream-aquifer interaction commonly has been used to quantify transit losses associated with water deliveries, such as those from reservoir storage. This technique...

Wetland Impacts of Center Pivots in Wheeler Co., NE
This paper describes an investigation of wetlands impacts from an intensive center-pivot irrigation operation in a 17,000 acre portion of Nebraska's Sandhills region. Well...

Modeling Pesticide Metabolite Transport with Gleams
The GLEAMS model (Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems) was modified to simulate the generation and degradation of pesticide metabolites. Translocation of the...

Cotton Response to High Frequency Irrigation
Three cotton production tests irrigated with the Low Energy Precision Application (LEPA) system were conducted from 1985 through 1987 on the Texas High Plains. Cotton treatments were irrigated...

Verification of an Agricultural Land Drainage Model
An agricultural land drainage simulation model was tested under field conditions. The model was found to have several errors. Some of these errors were corrected and the model was tested...

DSS: A Dam Site Selector Expert System
The Dam Site Selector (DSS) expert system is an aid for rating an area for use as a dam site and reservoir. It was developed for use in a graduate level hydrology design course at Purdue...

A Portable Bowen Ratio System for ET Measurements
The AZET system developed at the University of Arizona is designed to measure evapotranspiration (ET) in arid zone environments, using the Bowen ratio model. The system consists of a set...
