Evaluation of Reservoir Seepage in Karst Topography
Areas where seepage is likely to occur in the karst environment of the proposed West County Reservoir, Roanoke County, Virginia have been indentified. Solutioning exists in the form of...

Flow Behavior of Kinked Strip Drains
Due to the often expressed concern over the axial deformation of strip drains and the resulting impact on flow rate, this study has been undertaken. A laboratory experiment has been constructed,...

Regulatory and Environmental Issues of the Chisman Creek Superfund Site
This paper discusses the regulatory and environmental issues arising from the response to the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Chisman Creek Superfund Site in York County, Virginia. Field...

First-Order Reliability Analysis of Groundwater Flow
A method for stochastic analysis of groundwater flow based on the first-order reliability approach is presented. The method is well suited for problems in which statistical information...

Maximum Value Statistics for Transient Response of Linear Structures
The mean and the variance are investigated for the maximum absolute value of a nonstationary process which represents the response buildup of a linear oscillator. The mean and variance...

Recursive Modeling of Dynamic Response of MDOF Systems
The dynamic response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems to correlated multi-input random excitations utilizing recursive modeling is presented. The recursive model is formulated...

Statistical Analysis of Occupant Dynamic Loads
Human-induced load-time histories were modeled by several dependent descriptive parameters. These parameters were treated as functions of two independent variables in a multivariate regression...

On Modelling the Nonlinear Relationship Between Random Fields by Means of Higher-Order Spectra
This paper addresses the input-output relationship of nonlinear systems that may be expressed in terms of a hierarchy of linear, quadratic and higher-order transfer functions or corresponding...

Pressures on Prisms in Turbulent Shear Flows
Experimental results are presented which show that Melbourne's 'Small Scale Spectral Density Parameter,' S, controls the negative pressures on the...

Sanitary Sewer Model with Database Management
While numerous water supply and stormwater system models existed, the few sanitary sewer models that were readily available were too simplistic for engineering design and master planning...

Sanitary Sewer System Modeling for Operation and Planning
Development of a Steady State Sanitary Sewer Simulation (S⁵) computer model helped Newport News, Virginia, enact an efficient sanitary sewer management...

Conjunctive Use Study of Groundwater and Surface Water in Chino Basin, California
The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of artificial recharge on an already contaminated unconfined aquifer and propose optimal recharging and pumping schemes to prevent the...

Regional Assessment of Pumpage in Southeastern Virginia
A U.S. Geological Survey investigation was conducted, in cooperation with the Virginia Water Control Board, to analyze the hydrogeology and groundwater flow system in the Coastal Plain...

A Ground Water Modeling Effort to Simulate the Results of An Aquifer Restoration Scheme
A ground water model using the IBM PC version of the USGS MODFLOW code was constructed to simulate the ground water flow beneath an industrial site in the central Midwest. A detailed three-dimensional...

Computerized Bridge Coding for HEC-2 Applications on I.B.M. P.C.
A computer program for conversion of survey field notes directly into SB, BT, and GR cards with simultaneous cross-section plot is described. It was designed to simplify the coding of...

Administration of Water in the 21st Century in Accordance with the Appropriation Doctrine
In accordance with the appropriation doctrine it appears straightforward to distribute water during below-average supply, 'first in time of use, first in right of use'....

GWPATH: Ground-Water Flow Path Analysis
GWPATH is an interactive software package for estimating horizontal fluid pathlines and travel time in fully saturated groundwater flow domains. GWPATH was developed for the IBM PC-AT...

A Vectorized Polynomial Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Solver Package for the USGS 3-D Ground-Water Model
A vectorized polynomial preconditioned conjugate gradient (PPCG) numerical algorithm is presented as an additional solver package interfaced with the Modular Three-Dimensional Finite Difference...

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Results From Stege Sanitary District
Seven sewer agencies, including Stege Sanitary District, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area embarked on a 20-year capital improvement program in 1987. The 300 million construction...

Simple Furrow Advance Ratio Evaluation Technique for Upgrading Management
A simple procedure using the Advance Ratio (AR) is presented. It utilizes on-farm gathered information of advance time, water application time, and depth applied for furrow irrigated field....
