Simulation of Oxygen Dynamics in the Vadose Zone
A microcomputer model VIP (Vadose Zone Interactive Processes) was developed as an extension of the RITZ model to provide a mathematical description of land treatment systems for the disposal...
Long-term Land Treatment: A Performance Evaluation
Overland flow (OLF) land treatment has been applied effectively in the United States for the treatment of industrial and municipal wastewaters. Although several overland flow systems in...
Transport of Injected Produced Water: A Sensitivity Study
This paper deals with the development and application of a model to assess potential environmental effects on Underground Sources of Drinking Water (USDW) due to the presence of an improperly...
Methodologies to Estimate Instream Benefits for Use in Water Allocation
In the 'utility valuation' approach, the recreational experience possible at given flow levels is examined to derive a utility that the resource provides to the...
Generation of Multiple Tier Instream Flow Requirements
Multiple tier scaling of instream flow requirements based on available water supply and reservoir storage state is proposed as a means of generating instream flow regimes. Rules for variable...
In Situ Measurement of Preferential Flow
An experiment was performed that quantifies the variability of flow paths in the vadoze zone. Bromide tracer and an organic dye, which has many of the same transport characteristics as...
Economic Impacts of Storm Sewer Design Criteria
This paper discusses the selection of storm sewer design criteria and the resulting economic impacts. Using the Rational Method for calculating design flows, an investigation was made...
Modeling a Multiple Well Groundwater Supply System
The paper is concerned with the simulation of existing groundwater supply systems. This encompasses the delivery of the groundwater from the wells to the water treatment plant, including...
Modeling of Nitrate Transport Coupled Dentrification in the Saturated Zone
A numerical model for simulating nitrate transport coupled to microbial activity in the saturated zone is presented. A coupled system of equations describes the transport and microbial...
An Interactive Microcomputer Program for One-Dimensional Solute Transport in Saturated Soil-Water Systems
This paper presents a user-friendly microcomputer program for one-dimensional solute transport in saturated soil-water systems. Eight different types of adsorption isotherms, ranging from...
Response of a Surface Aquifer to Flood Irrigation
The response of an unconfined alluvial aquifer, and associated stream system, to recharge by flood irrigation in the New Fork River valley in western Wyoming was studied. A water budget...
Groundwater Loadings of Pesticides From Chemigation: A Gleams Model Simulation
This paper describes how, with slight modifications, the GLEAMS model (Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems) was used to represent chemigation for herbicides,...
The Water Erosion Prediction Project: Erosion Parameter Estimation
The USDA Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) includes a large field program for collection of experimental data to evaluate soil erodibility. Rainfall simulation techniques are used...
Water Erosion Prediction Project Operational Computer Program
The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) is a physically-based model to improve on-site erosion prediction techniques. It is designed to replace the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)...
Proper Use of Effective Flow Boundaries
The determination of the appropriate effective flow boundaries is an important factor in the hydraulic modeling of the flow regime of a stream. It is especially critical in areas with...
Estimating Impacts of Irrigation on Streamflow
This paper presents a method for estimating the impact of irrigation withdrawals on streamflows and shows the application of that method to the Kankakee River Basin of Illinois and Indiana....
The Alabama Rainfall-Runoff Model, ARRM
ARRM consists of a conceptual state-space model which is cast in a stochastic framework. It uses the W.H. Green and C.A. Ampt method for infiltration, exponential decay for interflow and...
What is Necessary to Forecast River Flows Reliably?
The problem of forecasting river flows employing conceptual rainfall-runoff models is reviewed stressing the important connections that exist among data requirements, model structure,...
Channel Routing for Improved Flood Control
Lake Wappapello, located on the St. Francis River in southeastern Missouri, is operated by the St. Louis District (SLD) Corps of Engineers for purposes of flood control and recreation....
Computer Simulation of the Long-Term Operation of the Manitoba Hydro System
The System Simulation Model is a deterministic long-term planning model used to simulate reservoir operation and energy allocation in the Manitoba Hydro system. The model uses the method...
