Development of the Hydrodata CD-ROM Data Storage System
To store and retrieve data from two of the USGS WATSTORE databases - the daily and peak values files - and the Summary of the Day file from the National Climatic Data Center, the authors...

Short-Term Hydroelectric Scheduling Model for WAPA
An optimization model, data system, and a series of user-friendly input/output screens (the HYDRopower Optimization Program, HYDROP) have recently been implemented at the Loveland Area...

TVA Weekly Scheduling Model Application Experience
Development of TVA's Weekly Scheduling Model was completed in 1980. Eight years of experience covering a wide variety of applications has now been accumulated. Since the basic...

Production Scheduling Model for Hydro-Qu?bec
A deterministic optimization model is described which allows to schedule the production of a predominantly-hydroelectric power system. Demand and exogenous inflows are assumed known with...

Utilization of the Ottawa River Regulation Modeling System (MORRO)
The MORRO model was developed in Canada for use by the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board (ORRPB) to integrate the operation of the Ottawa River during the spring freshet season, when...

Comprehensive Optimization Model for Hydroelectric Reservoir Operations
The Energy Management and Maintenance Analysis (EMMA) model is used to maximize net revenues to Manitoba Hydro considering the operation of hydroelectric and thermal generation, generation...

Alternative Methods of Generating Hydrologic Data for Reservoir Optimization
Given an historically based set of natural flows for the Colorado River at Lees Ferry, a series of 16 indexed sequential traces 78 years in length were derived using a 'wrap around' approach...

Real-Time Hydrosystem Operations Using Probabilistic Balancing Rule Models
A Probabilistic Balancing Rule model is presented and shown to be effective in the prescription of real-time (daily) operations for a multi-purpose surface water reservoir system. In this...

Flood Warning Systems
A valuable review of the current state-of-the-art of flood warning systems is represented by the papers on flood warning systems presented at the ASCE Workshop on 'Computerized...

Planning and Implementing a Wide Area Flood Warning System: The IFLOWS Experience
The Integrated Flood Observing and Warning System (IFLOWS) is an interactive hydrometeorological data collection and processing system. It consists of three major subsystems; data acquisition,...

Flash Flood Hydrologic Forecast Model, ADVIS
The Flash Flood Hydrologic Forecast Model, ADVIS, is the computer replacement of manual forecast procedures using tables. This interactive forecast model computes a crest forecast, plots...

PROFS Role in Modernization of the National Weather Service
This paper describes the overall modernization procedure and the computing infrastructure that will support hydrologic operations in a prototype workstation that will be available in National...

Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction for Reservoir Design and Flash Flood Management
A portable, interactive weather prediction system (PIWPS), which runs on a desktop workstation, has been developed and tested on several heavy precipitation events in the Rocky Mountains,...

WATFLOOD: A Real-Time, Microcomputer-Based Data Management and Flood Forecast System
WATFLOOD is a menu-driven micro-computer based flood forecasting system incorporating data management programs to enable real-time use of weather radar for flood forecasting. The main...

Geographic Information Systems for Hydrologic Modeling
Geographic information system techniques provide flexible and powerful capabilities for computer processing of spatial data sets integral to flash flood forecasting. Video digitizing or...

Effecting Timely Responses to Urban Flash Floods
Problem identification and decision aid development are important first steps in putting together an effective flood warning plan. Until adequate data exists to allow refinement of runoff...

Simulation Model for Economic Irrigation Project Planning and Design
The principle design parameters considered are: water supply configurations (quantity, source and storage); shapes and sizes of the area to be served; on-farm irrigation techniques; cropping...

Numerical Modeling of Suspended Sediment Transport
Validity domain of hypothesis of depth integration has been approached by comparison of results of depth integrated model with complete vertical models. Use of shape functions to represent...

Methods and Applications of Numerical Hydrology on a Drainage Basin
A model is presented here (MOMID) to study, having considered a morphological base of the drainage basin, the unit hydrogram and the routing time along the basin itself....

Engineering Models for Coastal Sediment Transport
During the last ten years Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) has together with the Institute of Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Engineering (ISVA) of the Technical University of Denmark been...
