Computer Impacts on Water Resources Engineering
Computation capability has increased by a factor of one million over the past 30 years and has contributed greatly toward data management and the application of available technology to...

Computers in a Planning Context: Another Reality
Over the past twenty years water resources planning has seen a great increase in the development of computer methods of analysis. This has transformed the way the hydrology, hydraulics,...

Personal Computers and Stormwater Management Programs
Urban flooding and drainage problems are the result of complex interactions between natural and man-made systems. Comprehensive analysis of the hydrologic characteristics of these problems...

Micro Use in Water Management in the Brazos Basin
The Brazos River Authority, an agency of the State of Texas created to conserve and develop the surface waters of the 42,000 square mile (110,000 km) Brazos River Basin, is in the midst...

Geographic and Spatial Data Management and Modeling
A geographic information system is a computer based technology for storing and using spatial data. Many alternative methodologies exist for managing the three general types of spatial...

A Micro-Computer GIS for Water Resources Planning
Recent developments in micro-computers have enabled water resources engineers to utilize advanced computer methods and interactive color graphics for the analysis and planning of water...

Stochastic Modeling of Mean Areal Precipitation for Generating Synthetic Streamflows
Statistical precipitation models used as input to conceptual hydrologic models, offer an alternative mechanism for simulating streamflow. In sparsely gauged catchments, or areas where...

Stochastic Simulation of Streamflows
In order to provide a better method of generating synthetic streamflow data, a stochastic model of simulating long-term streamflows is developed. Basically, this method uses historical...

Software Authoring for the Rest of Us
Extensive use of high resolution graphics, form-oriented full screen data entry, and contextual help messages have proven to be an effective means of structuring the dialogue between the...

Accumulation of Streamflow in Complex Topography
A proposed synthetic watershed model which simulates the hydrologic process of both overland flow and interflow is presented in this paper. The synthetic model has features designed to...

Automated Data Monitoring for Disaster Prevention
A system is now available from International Hydrological Services for use on micro-computers that will provide real-time environmental monitoring, analysis, forecasting and control. This...

Water Quantity Management for a River Regulating Agency
A river reservoir operations model (RROM) was developed to assist the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District manage flows in the Upper Hudson River Basin. The purpose of the RROM...

Water Information Available from the U.S. Geological Survey
As a part of the Geological Survey's program of releasing water data to the public, two large-scale computerized systems are maintained. The National Water Data Storage and...

Time Series Analysis of Hourly Domestic Water Demand
Design flows for water supply and sanitary sewer systems are chosen by rules of thumb in the absence of actual data. This research develops two stochastic models of water demand by analyzing...

Water Data Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the United States of America have jointly undertaken an investigation of the ground-water resources of Northern Jordan. An initial step in the investigation...

State-of-the-Art Design of Databases for Water Related Data
This paper presents an overview of techniques for design and application of databases to water related data. The intent is to introduce new concepts to the practicing engineer who has...

Yakima Supervisory Real-Time Monitoring and Control System
The Yakima Remote Control System is a case study application of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) concepts for the operation and monitoring of a large water resources project....

Computers: Water Resources Models in Latin America
Ninety-six national institutions dealing with planning, irrigation, water supply, and hydropower generation in twenty-six Latin American and Caribbean countries were surveyed between February...

Hydrological Database Management
Development of hydrological database management is investigated in this study. Lotus 1-2-3, a commercially available database, which makes use of spreadsheet has been used to solve a broad...

Automated Data Collection for Reservoir Regulation
Various regulation changes in the Lake Winnebago basin have been proposed regarding the protection of wetlands and assurance of adequate outflows for water quality. To implement these...
