Response of a Surface Aquifer to Flood Irrigation
The response of an unconfined alluvial aquifer, and associated stream system, to recharge by flood irrigation in the New Fork River valley in western Wyoming was studied. A water budget...
Water Erosion Prediction Project Operational Computer Program
The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) is a physically-based model to improve on-site erosion prediction techniques. It is designed to replace the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)...
Proper Use of Effective Flow Boundaries
The determination of the appropriate effective flow boundaries is an important factor in the hydraulic modeling of the flow regime of a stream. It is especially critical in areas with...
Estimating Impacts of Irrigation on Streamflow
This paper presents a method for estimating the impact of irrigation withdrawals on streamflows and shows the application of that method to the Kankakee River Basin of Illinois and Indiana....
The Alabama Rainfall-Runoff Model, ARRM
ARRM consists of a conceptual state-space model which is cast in a stochastic framework. It uses the W.H. Green and C.A. Ampt method for infiltration, exponential decay for interflow and...
What is Necessary to Forecast River Flows Reliably?
The problem of forecasting river flows employing conceptual rainfall-runoff models is reviewed stressing the important connections that exist among data requirements, model structure,...
Channel Routing for Improved Flood Control
Lake Wappapello, located on the St. Francis River in southeastern Missouri, is operated by the St. Louis District (SLD) Corps of Engineers for purposes of flood control and recreation....
Application of Principal-Component Analysis to Long-Term Reservoir Management
Determining the optimal long-term operating policy of a multireservoir power system requires solution of a stochastic nonlinear programming problem. The paper presents a very efficient...
Computerized Decision-Guidance System for Management of the Trent River Multireservoir System
A computer simulation model has been implemented for a complex multireservoir system, composed of 44 reservoirs and 52 channels. The model is designed in modular form to forecast inflows,...
Heuristics and Network Flow Algorithms for Multireservoir System Regulation
A generalized model employing a network flow algorithm and a heuristic database is being tested on the Qu'Appelle River basin in Canada. The heuristic database consisting...
The State of Art of Physical Modelling of Sediment Transport
The paper attempts formula some ideas about the state of the art in the field of physical modelling of sediment transport processes. Up to now the physics of sediment transport are not...
Advances in Computational Mobile-Bed Hydraulics
A new conceptual approach to one-dimensional mobile-bed simulation is briefly described, along with two demonstrative examples. The approach is based on fully coupled solution of the unsteady...
The Formation of Meandering and Braided Channels
Flow in alluvial channels implies flow past boundaries that form and deform under the action of the flow. Interaction between the flow and the mobile boundaries produces channel patterns...
Potential Flow Over a Wavy Bed: A Persistent Error
The standard small-amplitude theory of potential flow over a wavy bed is briefly discussed, together with the three special values of the Froude Number which define four different flow...
Application of 2-D Model to Reduce Sedimentation Problems
The Corps of Engineers opened Lock and Dam No. 1 on the Red River Waterway in 1984. During the first runoff season, excessive quantities of fine sediment deposited in both the upstream...
Modeling of Contaminant Transport in Rivers with Emphasis on the Interaction with Movable Boundaries
The transport of dissolved and absorbed pollutants is simulated by a one-dimensional convection-diffusion model which particularly accounts for the exchange processes at the river bed...
Friction Slope Computation for Mathematical Models
The behavior of the energy flow gradient as function of depth and velocity is analyzed for three flow resistance methods. In the paper, the necessary modifications introduced to the methods...
Comparison of
