Predicting Water Demand in Agricultural Regions Using Time Series Forecasts of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration
Overall, it can be said that the time series model developed in this study did provide superior forecasting results for the Brawley, CA, site. This indicates that the monthly reference...
Modeling Instantaneous Residential Demands in Municipal Water Distribution Systems
A modeling scheme is proposed for simulating the intensity, duration, and frequency of instantaneous indoor water use at a single family residence. The intensity and duration of indoor...
Demand Management Strategies for Providence Water Supply Board
The Providence water supply is the largest in Rhode Island, and the demands placed upon it continue to increase with the growth of the area as other systems turn to it as a preferred source...
Water Planning Using an Expert GIS
The development of an expert geographic information system (expert GIS) for long-term regional water resources planning is discussed. The system is comprised of an expert system to capture...
Water Availability and Water Demand Study for the Citanduy River Basin, West and Central Java, Indonesia
This paper will discuss the water availability and water demands in the Citanduy River Basin located in West and Central Java, Indonesia. A program of development of water and other natural...
Managing Water Supply with Aquifer Storage and Recovery
The City of Chesapeake, located in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, is experiencing a rapid growth in population which translates into an increased demand for water, particularly during...
Optimal Capacity Expansion in Multi-Aquifer Systems
A deterministic optimization model is presented for analyzing the capacity expansion policies in multi aquifer systems. The response of the system is included in the optimization model...
Feasibility of Water Supply for City of Houston Subsidence Zones Five and Six
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of providing surface water to the Harris Galveston Coastal Subsidence District (HGCSD) Zones Five and Six (located in North Houston...
Development of Storage Demand Relation for Reservoirs?A Probabilistic Approach
This paper presents a practical method for developing storage-demand relation for reservoirs by a probability analysis of the stream flow data. The method was employed by the author for...
Reliability of Operating Rules with or without Uncertain Forecasts
In this study the reliability indices are calculated for operating policies generated by three Stochastic Dynamic optimization models: a classical Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP);...

Saving a Threatened Resource?In Search of Solutions
This proceedings,
HOV Lessons
As traffic congestion worsens, transportation planners are struggling to squeeze out every last bit of available roadway capacity. High-occupancy vehicle lanes are one solution, but aren't...
Water Conservation at the Antarctic Wasa Base - Results 1989-90
The Swedish WASA base was erected in the Norwegian sector of Antarctica during the 1988-89 summer season. The base was on a nunatakk and consisted of a dwelling house with full living...
A GIS Approach to Urban Water System Planning
Procedures for projecting future water needs have ignored the spatial distribution of consumers. However, with a GIS approach to water demand forecasting and supply planning the spatial...
Estimating Power Plant Cooling Water Demand
The Fayette Power Project (FPP) includes three generation units, with more than 1,500 megawatts of generating capacity, supplying electricity to more than a million Central Texans. The...
Analysis of Water Banking Projects as Additions to the California State Water Project
The California State Department of Water Resources (DWR) is evaluating the feasibility of adding Water Banking programs to the State Water Project (SWP) to augment its delivery capability...
When to Connect Your New Supply
The use of risk analysis is important to a water utility. The economic losses to the local economy as a result of water shortages can be astronomical. On the other hand, the high rates...
Water Supply Uncertainties with Federal Permitting
Providing water in a semiarid region has historically been one of the most important responsibilities of government. This task was made more difficult by the uncertainties involved with...
Integrating Water Conservation Into Water Supply Planning
Consideration of water demand reduction strategies is increasingly important in water resources planning. Although more research is needed to improve the reliability of water savings data,...
Effectiveness of Demand Management Strategies
Good quality water is a valuable resource that should be used wisely. It is necessary that water supply authorities develop water conservation plans. In order to develop a water conservation...
