Telemetry Data Considerations in Water Systems Control
The installation of increasingly sophisticated telemetry systems for data collection within the water supply and distribution networks has progressed rapidly in recent years. This has...

Meta-Site: Water Distribution System Analysis Software
Many local municipalities now require a network analysis for all proposed additions to their water distribution systems. A graphically oriented, user-friendly program is being developed...

Possum Kingdom Lake: The Impact of Releases for Fish and Wildlife
Possum Kingdom Lake is a 570,000 acre-foot reservoir on the Brazos River in Palo Pinto County, Texas, owned and operated by the Brazos River Authority (BRA). In 1985 the BRA applied to...

Closing the Gap Between Water Resources Systems Education and Practice
This paper is focused on teaching system analysis and its water resources applications to engineers and architects. The content of courses generally offered under this title or similar...

Beyond Basic Modeling
Computers have long been used in water engineering to model hydraulic distribution networks In recent years, computer technology has exploded, yielding computers that are powerful and...

Optimizing Dallas' Multiple Reservoir Supply System
Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) applies a mathematical computer model of its reservoir supply system to assist in making operational decisions to optimize supply operations. The model considers...

Microcomputer Tools for the Management of a Multiple Reservoir Water Supply System
In a Raw Water Management Plan study performed for the City of Newport News Waterworks, Camp Dresser & McKee developed a series of micro-computer programs that allow the City to...

Optimal Operation of Multiple Reservoir Systems
In this paper a temporal decomposition approach is presented to solve a long term deterministic model for a multi-reservoir system. Through relaxation the long term problem is broken into...

Storage Reallocation Evaluation for Reservoir System
Reservoir storage capacity is allocated to various purposes prior to project construction. However, changing needs and conditions may warrant later conversion of storage capacity from...

Economic Benefits of a Flood Warning System?The Ventura County, California Experience
Since the spring of 1979, Ventura County has been receiving the benefits of a growing Flood Warning System (FWS). Beginning with six self-reporting raingages, two untested flow models,...

Reliance on Structural Controls for Water Supply Protection in Urbanizing Watersheds
The watershed is the source of pollutants which can contaminate the water supply reservoir. It is far preferable to implement an affordable watershed management plan that keeps contaminants...

Fort Worth: Where the West Began with Water
This paper presents a historic overview of the impact the Trinity River has had on the development of Forth Worth with regard to fire protection, water supply and flood control....

The Genesis of Surface Water for San Antonio
San Antonio is the ninth largest city in the United States and the only one of that group that relies exclusively on groundwater. The Applewhite Water Supply Project is the first surface...

Water Reuse in Las Colinas, Irving, Texas
The largest urban water reclamation project in Texas that involves reuse of treated wastewater was implemented in July 1987, to provide an economical and drought-free supply of water to...

The Market Value of Water in the Ogallala Aquifer as Implied by Recent Farm Sales
As indicated by farm sales in the Ogallala region, the value of water in the Ogallala Aquifer has fallen. Market values have declined by 30 to 60%, following the recent downward trends...

Old Ideas, New Applications: Expanding the State of the Practice
This paper describes three projects in which analytical tools were developed to assist decision makers in operating large-scale water resource systems. Position analysis models were developed...

Tutorial: Fuzzy Set Theory in Water Resources Systems
Principles of using fuzzy set theory (FST) to describe imprecision (or vagueness) in water resources systems are provided. The main tool of FST, the membership function, measures the degree...

Estimating Earthquake Hazard of Municipal Water Systems
This paper uses the City of Memphis as a case study to present the seismic hazard evaluation of a municipal water delivery system. The horizontal peak bedrock accelerations resulting from...

Measuring Benefits of Water Supply Projects
Various approaches are used to determine the value of water supply projects. Deterministic methods will lead to biased valuation of additional supplies of water. Calculation of risk premium...

Conflict Resolution, Reallocation and Management of Lake Texoma Resources
From its inception, Lake Texoma has created conflicts among users of its natural resources, including hydropower, water supply, flood control, and recreational users. Many attempts have...
