Flow and Quality Simulation of a Proposed Marina Development
A proposed off-channel marina development on the Sacramento River in California requires landfill in an area that is currently within the flood plain. Two dimensional computer models for...
Monitoring Water Quality: Neches Estuary, Texas
A continuous monitoring project has been established in the Neches Estuary of Southeast Texas, for the purpose of investigating the influence of tidal hydraulic on sedimentation in a floating...
Two-Dimensional Numerical Flow Models, Built and Used by Civil Engineers
The paper describes the WAQUA system, a series of programs to perform two-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality simulations. Long term developments resulted in a successful system...
Sedimentation and Water Quality in TVA's Ocoee Reservoirs
This paper reviews and summarizes sedimentation and water quality characteristics of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) three Ocoee Reservoirs located in Polk County in...
Sedimentation Problems of the Illinois River Valley
Natural and manmade factors have drastically changed the character of the river and resulted in the accelerated deposition of sediments all along the entire river valley. The Illinois...
Fine Contaminated Sediment Erosion/Deposition in the Buffalo River, New York
This paper documents part of a project which sought to characterize sediment transport in the Buffalo River as a contribution toward planning for dredging or in-place containment of the...
A Marina Model of Continuous Loads and Equilibrium
For projects requiring dredge and fill permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) the impact on water quality is one of the primary areas of concern which must...
Harbor Restoration Through Improved Circulation
After several episodes of massive fish kills in Old Pass Lagoon on the Florida Gulf Coast, an investigation was undertaken to identify the problems and propose cost-effective solutions....
Approach for 3-D, Time-Varying Hydrodynamic/Water Quality Model of Chesapeake Bay
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has identified major contributing factors to the Bay's decline as inputs of nutrients and toxicants from point and nonpoint...
Development and Application of the Chesapeake Bay Eutrophication Model
The paper discusses the formulation of a steady-state coupled hydrodynamic/water quality model of Chesapeake Bay. The intent of this model was to provide insight into the processes and...
Effect of Conowingo Dam Releases on the Water Quality of the Lower Susquehanna River
A modeling study was performed to assess the effects of flow releases from Conowingo Dam on the water quality of Conowingo Pond and the Susquehanna River downstream of the dam. Reservoir...
Expert System for Mixing Zone Analysis of Aqueous Discharges (CORMIX1): Further Developments
Two recent publications have reported the development of the Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) for the analysis, prediction and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant...
Discharge Measurement by Thermal Dilution
A flume study was conducted to develop and improve the thermal dilution method of discharge measurement in trapezodial channels. The study was performed in an indoor channel with dischages...
Gas Transfer at the Water Surface: Measurements of Gas Concentration Fluctuations
The paper describes measurements of fluctuating gas (oxygen) concentrations by means of a polarographic microscope near the air-water interface. The objective is to demonstrate the feasibility...
Groundwater Transport in a Heterogeneous Aquifer: Tracking a Complex Plume
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is conducting a large-scale groundwater research project as a part of the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) Solid Waste Environmental...
Spacecraft Environments: Design Considerations
Design, launch, assembly in orbit, and operation of large space-based systems involve much detailed analysis to ensure mission success. The area of contamination control and environmental...
Radiation Hazards to Space Construction - The Energetic Particle Environments
Many aspects of the space environment are recognized hazards for activities above the Earth's atmosphere. One of the most dramatic hazards is that posed by the diverse energetic...
Advanced Technology for a Lunar Astronomical Observatory
Significant new technologies are required for three proposed telescopes to be operated on the Moon. These technologies are in the areas of contamination/interference control, test and...
Critical Water Issues and Computer Applications
This book contains papers presented at the 15th Annual Conference of the Water Resources Planning and Management Division of ASCE. The theme of the conference was Critical Water Issues...
Geosynthetics: Cleanup Tools
In addition to their use in liners and drainage systems for new landfills, geosynthetics can be used in environmental remediation projects. In an early example, contaminated muck was removed...
