Design of Sampling Networks for Water Table Monitoring
In the application to the monitoring of water tables the presence of temporal and spatial dependence is of crucial importance. Often the network will be used to collect data to estimate...
Analysis of Uncertainty in Ground-Water Quality Monitoring Network Design
The paper reviews alternative approaches to ground-water quality monitoring network design. Four general approaches to network design are reviewed: (1) hydrogeologic, (2) simulation, (3)...
Identification of Aquifer Parameters in Confined Groundwater Flow
The logarithm of the aquifer properties, log transmissivity (log T) and log storativity (log S), are regarded as realizations of stochastic processes whose estimates are required. The...
Optimization of a Groundwater Well Monitoring Network
An optimization model is presented for the design of a well monitoring network for groundwater quality and quantity parameters. The model utilizes a geostatistical procedure to estimate...
Modeling Volatile Organic Transport with Vapor Sorption
A flexible finite element simulation model is developed to predict the movement of volatile organic compounds in variably saturated subsurface regions. The model incorporates both the...
Groundwater Quality Network Design
This paper presents a methodology that uses optimization for designing a groundwater monitoring network. The methodology incorporates parameter estimation in conjunction with a numerical...
An Economic Evaluation of Property Rights to Groundwater Resources in the State of Texas
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the basis for determination of property rights to groundwater in Texas, and to consider the implications of existing groundwater legislation...
Applications of Probability Matrix Methods for Texas Reservoirs
Probability matrix methods are a class of procedures which were generally developed from P.A.P. Moran's Theory of Storage. In essence, probability matrix methods are a means...
Marginal Cost Techniques for Reservoir Optimization
Selection of the optimum water supply reservoir from multiple reservoir sites under consideration in a water resource planning study for the Houston Metroplex evaluated hydrology, engineering,...
Study of Direct Potable Reuse of Reclaimed Wastewater: Preliminary Results of a Five Year Study
The City of San Diego, California has received Clean Water Grant funding to build and operate a 0.5 million gallon per day facility to demonstrate a wastewater treatment system, utilizing...
Conjunctive Management of the Edwards Aquifer and Connected Surface Streams in South Central Texas
The Edwards Aquifer is a long, narrow conduit through which water moves underground across parts of South Central Texas. Increased use of water from the Edwards Aquifer has been substantial...
Managing an Interruptible Water Supply
The Lower Colorado River Authority has developed a plan for the management of an interruptible water supply for demands which do not require a firm commitment of specific amounts of water....
Corps of Engineers Drought Contingency Plans in Texas
The Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is currently preparing Drought Contingency Plans (DCP) for the river basins and its projects. These plans will be incorporated into the master...
Government Cooperation in Water Resources Planning and Management
The California State Legislators have shown real concern in trying to do something about the clearly identified water shortage. Many bills and funding programs have been proposed to encourage...
Watermaster Administration of Texas State Waters
The State of Texas is developing a watermaster program which will enable the State to administer water right issues on a regional basis. A primary role of a watermaster operation is to...
Water for Texans?Using the Water Development Fund
This paper is presented to provide information on the Texas Water Development Fund. The Fund is available as a source that can provide financial assistance to political subdivisions of...
The Coming Drought: Are You Ready?
Drought planning is necessary for the orderly development of a water supply system. Long range planning, risk analysis, multi-discipline cooperation, and public awareness are critical...
Drought Indication and Response
A study of rainfall and reservoir level data was conducted on the water supply system of South Central Connecticut to investigate the possibility of developing reliable, easy to use drought...
