New Tools for Economic Evaluation of Channel Deepening Projects
The Institute for Water Resources has developed a data base to facilitate economic evaluation of channel deepening projects. After extensive research, data elements were selected from...

New Concepts in Cooperative Fisheries Programs
Coordinated through the National Marine Fisheries Service, these programs serve eight coastal states, two commonwealths, three fishery management councils, two interstate commissions,...

Modelling as a Tool for Analysis and Assessment of North Sea Pollution
This paper briefly describes the analysis of pollution inputs into the area considered and the application of modelling techniques to quantify the hydrodynamics and related transport phenomena...

Quantifying Chemicals in Coastal Environments
Because management and regulation is largely based on numerical chemical data, understanding of the process, products and limitations of environmental chemical analysis is critical for...

Comparing Results of Wave Data from Two Recorders
In this paper two sets of wave measurements made in the same region using a pressure transducer and a wave rider bouy are compared. The same methods of analysis were applied to both the...

Enhancing Diked Wetlands in Coastal California
Significant areas of wetland in coastal California are diked off from full tidal action. These areas retain considerable value as wetland, and their management and enhancement present...

Numerical Modeling of the Coastal Current Regime at Yaquina Bay, Oregon
The application of a family of hydrodynamic numerical models for simulating tidal and wave-induced currents at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, is described. An overview of four numerical models is...

Northwest Regional Coastal Study: An Integrated Approach
The Northwest Regional Coastal Study as proposed consists of: (1) identification of problems; (2) inventory of available information; (3) prioritizing problems and study areas; (4) conducting...

Automated Permit Review for Hazardous Waste Surface Impoundments
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to develop automated permit review for RCRA hazardous waste surface impoundment facilities. The review automation will consist...

Instrumentation for Automated Irrigation Systems
Remote site instrumentation sensors are vital components in automated irrigation systems, enabling measurement of water levels, flows and gate positions. It is desirable to select sensors...

Data and Control Communication Methods for Delivery System Operations
The selection of a communication system for the automation of a canal system requires careful consideration of the type of canal system operation desired, the location of the facilities...

The U.S. Geological Survey's National Real-Time Hydrologic Information System Using Goes Satellite Technology
The U. S. Geological Survey maintains the basic hydrologic data collection system for the United States. The Survey is upgrading the collection system with electronic communications technologies...

Physical Modeling of Contracted Flow
Experiments on steady flow over uniform grass roughness through centered single-opening contractions were conducted in the Flood Plain Simulation Facility at the U. S. Geological Survey's...

Aids for the Hazard Classification of Small Dams
The last few years have seen a large growth in the tools available to the engineer to better determine the risk of failure in earth dams. One of the models developed is the National Weather...

An Uncertainty Analysis Methodology Applied to Sheetpile Cofferdam Design
The input data to numerical simulation models is often uncertain, and, consequently, model predictions may be uncertain. Such uncertainties are often treated by Monte Carlo techniques....

A Comparison of Tidal Sediment Boundary Layer Profiles with Theory
A number of theoretical derivations have been presented for predictions of the sediment concentration profile near or at the bottom of a column of surface water. Ultrasonic transceivers...

Rehabilitation Measures?Wanaque Reservoir System
The rehabilitation of Pompton Lake Dam and the dams of the Wanaque Reservoir System has provided the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission with a safe, dependable source of water...

Techniques for Measuring Flow and Sediment Parameters Near the Bed in Estuaries
The collection of accurate and meaningful field data is often the key to successful description and prediction of natural processes. The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station...

Lower Mississippi River Salt Intrusion Modeling
A laterally averaged numerical model called LAEM has been employed for both a 40- and 55-ft channel. In addition, LAEM has been applied with an increased height of the natural river crossing...

GLVHT Model Verification using Field Data
The Generalized, Longitudinal-Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport model (GLVHT) as developed for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station and described in Buchak...
