Risk Assessment of Lake Shore Development of Devils Lake, North Dakota
In recent years, the advent of the flood insurance programs has forced developers, financiers, and planners to deal with future high water conditions and associated risks. A reliable method...
One-Dimensional Modeling of Dam-Break Flow
R.W. MacCormack method is used for the numerical integration of Saint Venant equations to simulate the propagation of one-dimensional dam-break wave. The computed water levels are compared...
Reservoir Sediment Sluicing?Laboratory Study
Experiments are being conducted in a 12.2 meter long, 0.38 meter high, 15 centimeter wide flume to examine the behavior of reservoir sediment deposits in response to sluicing. Crushed...
Interaction of Large Depression Storage with an Aquifer
In the south-western part of Ghaggar basin, there exist an isolated but interconnected series of nineteen aeolian sand dune depressions in Sriganganagar district of Rajasthan (India) which...
Tidal Marshland Elevations in San Francisco Bay, California: Historic Accounts and Surveying Results (
The task of determining public agency jurisdiction in present and/or former tidal marshlands of San Francisco Bay is of importance in land use decisions and wetlands conservation. Jurisdiction...
Local Government Involvement in Coastal Projects
Presented in this paper is a review of the four pronged approach to coastal management utilized by the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government, Louisiana. The management program includes...
Solutions to Harbor Induced Erosion
Beach nourishment to mitigate shore damage attributed to Great Lakes harbor structures has been underway for over ten years. Experience has shown that using gravel/cobble size material...
Defending Our Lake Shores
The current high levels of the Great Lakes are nothing new, as the lakes have been fluctuating throughout history. There have been proposals to stop the current rise in the Michigan-Huron...
Sea Level Changes: A Corps of Engineers Perspective
The purpose of this discussion paper is to review current Corps of Engineers policy in relation to a possible significant increase in general sea level. A significant relative sea level...
Sea Level Change and Coastal Geomorphology of Padre Island, Mexico
Extending some 244 km from the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande) on the north to the mouth of the Rio Soto la Marina (at La Pesca) on the south, Padre Island, Mexico is comprised locally of several...
Controlled-leak Methods for Water Level Control
The controlled-leak methods are a group of similar techniques for controlling upstream water levels, downstream water levels, or offtake canal discharges. They require no electrical power...
Philosophy and Implementation of Gate Stroking
The purpose of this paper is to examine one control method - gate stroking - the philosophy which would lead to its selection and an example of its implementation. Gate stroking provides...
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...
Simultaneous Releases from a Stratified Reservoir
The concept of simultaneously, selectively withdrawing water from multiple levels in a thermally, and therefore density, stratified reservoir is presented and its usefulness discussed....
Air Regulated Siphons as Irrigation Canal Outlets
This paper investigates the possibility of using air regulated siphons as outlets from irrigation canals. Although a solution to a specific problem is sought, it is recognized that the...
