Spectral and Parametric Wave Models of Lake Erie
The GLERL-Donelan parametric wave model and the SHALWV spectral wave model are presently being used as modules of the Great Lakes Forecasting System in order to determine which best fits...

A Nearshore Model for Cleveland CSO Remediation Design Selection
Three models were combined to analyze the fate of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Firstly, a 20 year hindcast of Lake Erie was used to find design storms by...

Short-Term Forecasts for Lake Erie
Short-term forecasts for Lake Erie were generated by coupling a mesoscale atmospheric prediction system with a lake forecast system. The modeling systems used were The Pennsylvania State...

Pipe Utility Evaluations With the Aid of GIS
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are starting to be used on a day to day basis to solve community problems and optimize the use of their valuable resources. One engineering application...

A Coupled GIS-Water Quality Modeling System
A modeling framework is developed which uses a geographic information system (GIS) to perform many of the time-consuming tasks needed to set up and run a general water quality model. The...

Interfacing GIS and Water Quality Models for Agricultural Areas
Agricultural activities significantly impact water quality, including increases in stream sediment, nutrients, pesticides, and salt concentrations from runoff. South Florida is unique...

Third Lake Watershed Assessment and Action Plan
Third Lake, located in Lake County, Illinois, is expected to exhibit worsening inlake water quality as development occurs within its watershed. A geographic information system (GIS) application...

Regional Optimization of Non-Point Source Load Reduction
The paper reports the results of a study to develop a regional optimization model to determine pollutant load reduction strategies for Tampa Bay. The study aims to determine cost-effective...

Predictability and Sensitivity of Groundwater Transport Models
The uncertainty associated with predictions made by solute transport models in groundwater environments must be carefully evaluated to address spatial and time variability as well as data...

Monitoring Petroleum Contamination in an Aquifer
An experimental study of the behavior of petroleum in an aquifer with static and changing water depths were studied. The experimental apparatus consisted of plexiglass tanks filled with...

Groundwater Remediation at a Superfund Site
Soil and groundwater contamination at the Montana Post & Pole site in Butte, Montana, one of the nation's oldest Superfund sites, has developed into one of the most significant...

Fate/Transport Modeling and Remediation of Contaminated Plume at Vance Airforce Base
Air Training Command (ATC) at Vance Air Force Base (VAFB) is responsible for implementing the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) according to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,...

Threshold Precipitation Events and Groundwater Recharge
Data from two study sites on the Nevada Test Site, Nevada are used with precipitation data from other long-term precipitation gages to identify the frequency of precipitation events that...

Estimation of Field Site Flow Parameters
The paper reports on the use of Kriging to obtain estimates of hydraulic conductivity underneath a rapid infiltration site. The parameters obtained were used in a two-dimensional groundwater...

Groundwater Development and Related Issues
Optimum development and management of ground water resources requires consideration of all elements of the groundwater system and their inter-relations with total hydrologic cycle along...

An Attempt of an Aquifer Model with Lack of Data
The University of the Americas in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico withdraws water from an unconfined aquifer. Also the city of Cholula and the city of Puebla withdraw water too. A model aquifer...

Nonlinearity and Free-Surface Flow
The Dupuit-Forchheimer (D-F) assumption is commonly considered a viable design criterion for water resources projects and, consequently, Darcy law is used to determine the locus of free...

Effect of Data Sampling Time Resolution on Probability Distribution of Elapsed Time Between Rainfalls
The elapsed time between rainfalls is useful information in statistical forecasting of rainfall and runoff. The probability density function (pdf) of the elapsed time can be determined...
