Treatment and Disposal Options
Viable treatment and disposal alternatives which can meet stringent environmental regulations and at affordable cost to the agricultural economy present formidable problems. Treatment...

Institutional, Environmental and Legal Issues
An evaluation of the subsurface agricultural drainage problems occurring on prime agricultural land on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley of California offers an insight into the...

Irrigation Agriculture: Is it Sustainable?
Irrigation in (semi-) arid climates can be managed in such a way that it can be sustained indefinitely. Salination can be avoided by providing adequate drainage. Drainage, however, exacts...

Cokriging for Evaluating Agricultural Pollution
Subsurface drainage data from irrigated lands near Twin Falls, Idaho were used. Total Dissolved Solids and NO₃-N were selected as variables. The...

Prediction of Overland Phosphorus Transport Using a Phosphorus Enrichment Ratio
The Guelph model to evaluate the effects of Agricultural Management Systems on Erosion, Sedimentation, and Phosphorus yield (GAMESP) of Rousseau et al. was used to calibrate the phosphorus...

Principles of Ground Water Strategy
The states are now preparing or adopting ground water strategies under EPA direction. State and federal initiatives are currently uncoordinated, and do not add up to a coherent program....

Approaches for Protecting Groundwater From Agricultural Threats
In general, major groundwater pollutants contributed from agricultural sources are nitrate-nitrogen from chemical and animal fertilizers and pesticides applied on farm products for pest,...

Formulating a Coastal Plain Water Quality Project
In 1988, the Soil Conservation Service in Delaware helped local sponsors prepare a detailed preauthorization planning report for water quality improvement in Indian River Bay watershed,...

Managing Water Table Management Systems for Water Quality
The purpose of this paper is to briefly summarize the results of water quality studies related to water table management conducted in North Carolina over the past 15 years. Results of...

Erosion and Sedimentation Research in ARS
The paper presents a brief history of the growth of the erosion and sedimentation research program in the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Subjects...

Cold Regions Engineering
This volume contains papers that were presented at the 5th International Cold Regions Engineering Specialty Conference, sponsored by ASCE and held in St. Paul, Minnesota, February 6-8,...

The Battle Over Burning
Prendergast examined the strategy of integrated solid waste management as a potential solution to the U.S. garbage crisis, in particular the role of resource recovery. This strategy, which...

Groundwater Monitoring Network Design Using Coupled Monte Carlo Simulation and Optimization
This paper presents a method for the design, under uncertainty, of a groundwater well network for compliance monitoring at a waste disposal site. A numerical model of contaminant transport...

Application of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models at a Superfund Site in Montana
The water quality model applied to the site is the EPA-supported hydrodynamic and water quality model WASP4 with a modification to enable it to better simulate riverine systems. To provide...

Geostatistics in Estimating Chemical Residuals at a Site
Kriging with generalized covariances is used to evaluate the effectiveness of remediation and cleaning of a contaminated site. The goal is to estimate: a) the amount of total volatile...

Two-Dimensional Inter-Rill Flow Model for the Analysis of Agricultural Runoff
This paper presents a model describing the flow field for the inter-rill component of agricultural runoff. Given rainfall intensity, surface roughness, rill spacing, and longitudinal and...

Environmental Engineering
The 1989 Specialty Conference on Environmental Engineering was held in Austin, Texas on July 10-12, 1989 with cooperation from the University of Texas at Austin Civil Engineering Department...

Putting Waste to Use
Although it's only been nine years since Superfund was passed, a traditional hazardous waste disposal process has nontheless been established. That is, wastes are taken to...

Training the Waste Watchers
Whether an engineer is going to work at a Superfund site himself, or if his firm will be doing cleanup work at the site, that engineer will want to take the 40 hour training course as...

A Hazardous Data Explosion
During the 1980s, public concern and government regulations have spawned the huge hazardous waste management industry. But the industry has opened a Pandora's box for site engineers, most...
