Analysis of Operating Criteria: Multiple Lakes at Voyageurs National Park
An overview of lake and river regulation at Voyageurs National Park, which resides on the Minnesota-Ontario border, is given to demonstrate how water policy agreements can work. In 1905...
Technical and Organizational Constraints on Surface and Groundwater Irrigation in Small-Holder Areas of S. Asia
Variable irrigation supply and the independent character of the S. Asian small-holder combine to present a difficult problem in irrigation management. Attempts to introduce advanced technology...
Monthly Water Balance for Blue Nile River Basin in Ethiopia
The objective of this study was to present existing stream flow data for the Blue Nile River and tributaries within the Blue Nile River basin in Ethiopia and to use that data to provide...
Plant Modernization and its Role in the Efficient Use of Water Resources
Engineers and hydrologists alike are challenged with the task of developing hydro projects which satisfy a broad spectrum of criteria. Specific criteria employed by resource agencies and...
Sno Water Led Coordinated Water System Planning
The designation of a Critical Water Supply Service Area (CWSSA) which leads to Coordinated Water Planning evolved from problems recognized much earlier. Regional water suppliers in Snohomish...
3 Counties Coordinated Water System Plans
The Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP) process is a state mandated management tool created to get agencies and utilities to jointly address problems of current and domestic/municipal...
A Satellite Water System Program in Snohomish County, Washington
The Snohomish County Public Utility District No. 1 (PUD) has developed a Program for management of small public water systems. The Satellite Water System Management Program (SWSMP) is...
The Department of Health's Role in Implementing the Coordination Act in North Snohomish County
A coordinated water system plan in north Snohomish County resulted in development of uniform minimum design standards, a decrease in the number of new small water systems and regional...
Assessment of TCE Concentration in South Tucson Water Network
This paper summarizes a study that estimated trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination patterns in a portion of the Tucson water distribution network due to several polluted wells. Aspects...
Groundwater Contaminant Transport at a Hazardous Waste Disposal Site, Pullman, Washington
Groundwater contamination at a hazardous waste site near Pullman, Washington is simulated by a numerical model. The aquifer at the site is classified as an unconfined valley aquifer. Solute...
