Optimization of the Design and Operation of Soil Vapor Extraction Systems
Volatile organic compounds (VOC's) immobilized within the soil unsaturated zone constitute a significant source of groundwater contamination. Soil vapor extraction systems (SVES's), which...

The Application of Streamflow Duration Curves in Water Resources Engineering
Streamflow duration curves are a useful graphical and analytical tool for illustrating the relationship between the frequency and magnitude of daily streamflow. They are commonly used...

Exploring Management Alternatives with Interactive Simulation
A drought exercise was held to disseminate information about a proposed change in reservoir management. In the drought exercise, an interactive operations model was used to simulate drought...

Fort Bend County Surface Water Supply Study
Fort Bend County encompasses approximately 876 square miles in southeast Texas near the Gulf of Mexico. The County's sole source of potable water is groundwater, which supplied 28 million...

Changing Dam Operating Criteria to Accommodate Aquatic Biological Diversity
The Colorado squawfish, bonytail chub, humpback chub, and razorback sucker, now threatened with extinction, were once the dominant fishes in the river. Recovering these native species...

Instream Flow Policy: An Alternative to Minimum Flowby
The limitations of current instream flow policies based on the concept of minimum flowby are discussed. An alternative policy based on sharing the available resource among competing uses...

Water 2050-Supply for the Portland, Oregon Metropolitan Region Using the Integrated Resource Planning Process
This paper presents information about the long range regional water supply planning work that is being conducted in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan region. An integrated resources planning...

Salt River Project Strategic Water Resource Plan
This paper discusses the results of the Salt River Project Strategic Water Resource Plan - Phase I: Assessment & Potential Strategies. The objective of Phase I of the Strategic...

Thoughts of Reservoir Management Studies
Changing water use patterns and priorities, the high cost and uncertainty of developing new supply sources, increasingly stringent environmental regulation, and the desire and need to...

Sustainable Management of Existing Reservoirs
Instead of a design and planning of new reservoirs in the future, more emphasis will be placed on the management of existing reservoirs. Reservoir storage reallocation and reassessment...

Mitigation of Non-Point Source Pollution Impacts on Groundwater Aquifers: A Case Study
This paper presents methodologies applied to a regional-scale project to study the potential impacts of storm runoff on groundwater aquifers that store sole source water supplies in Morris...

Site Characterization by Artificial Neural Networks
Recently, an optimal groundwater management model has been developed to treat groundwater remediation problems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The objective of the model...

Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks: Do Pluralized Techniques Hold Any Advantages for Designing Groundwater Quality Assurance Systems?
Methods have recently been developed for designing groundwater monitoring and pollutant containment systems. These methods rely on a variety of new and classical optimization and modeling...

Integration of Reliability, Uncertainty and Optimization in Hydraulics Systems: Classification of Problem Types
Design and operation of hydraulic systems can be an extremely complex task. Although not widely accepted the application of deterministic optimization techniques can provide guidance to...

Integration of Reliability, Uncertainty and Optimization in Hydraulics Systems: Structural Reliability
The focus of this paper is to provide an overview of analysis and optimal design of systems in which the system reliability is dependent upon the structure of the system (such as the layout...

Designing Optimal Reliable Multiquality Water Supply Systems
A methodology which integrates optimal design and reliability of a multiquality water supply system is presented and demonstrated. The system constructed is able to sustain prescribed...

Effects of Climate Change on Water Quality
This research explores the potential effects of climate change on the quality of waters in lakes. Temperature and dissolved oxygen were considered the primary water quality variables due...

Water Transfer Law in Kansas
As Kansas enters an era when the water resources are almost fully appropriated, entities needing water may have to purchase or condemn water rights and might have to go long distances...

Intelligent Decision Support System for Stage Discharge Analysis
A Decision Support System (DSS) for fitting stage-discharge (S-D) relations is being developed by the University of Manitoba, Facility for Intelligent Decision Support, for Environment...

A Decision Support System for Administering Water Rights in an Alluvial Aquifer
A previously developed basin scale surface-ground water simulation model has been incorporated into a micro-computer based decision support system that simulates the transient ground water...
