Hydrologically Optimizing Stormwater Quality Facilities
There exists a need to develop a method for the sizing of urban stormwater runoff capture volume for water quality enhancement purposes. This paper describes a method that utilizes hydrologic...
Dynamic Modeling and Control Optimization in An Urban Area?A Case Study
The procedures adopted to achieve improved economic operation of the water supply and distribution system serving the town of Wolverhampton (UK) are described. An outline description is...
Computerized Operation of Water and Urban Networks: From Digital Mapping to Integrated Information Systems
Advances in computer hardware and software have provided the opportunity for development of powerful technical information systems (TIS) for municipal water supply and distribution services....
Erosion and Sedimentation Research in ARS
The paper presents a brief history of the growth of the erosion and sedimentation research program in the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Subjects...
Cold Regions Engineering
This volume contains papers that were presented at the 5th International Cold Regions Engineering Specialty Conference, sponsored by ASCE and held in St. Paul, Minnesota, February 6-8,...
The Battle Over Burning
Prendergast examined the strategy of integrated solid waste management as a potential solution to the U.S. garbage crisis, in particular the role of resource recovery. This strategy, which...
Groundwater Monitoring Network Design Using Coupled Monte Carlo Simulation and Optimization
This paper presents a method for the design, under uncertainty, of a groundwater well network for compliance monitoring at a waste disposal site. A numerical model of contaminant transport...
Application of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models at a Superfund Site in Montana
The water quality model applied to the site is the EPA-supported hydrodynamic and water quality model WASP4 with a modification to enable it to better simulate riverine systems. To provide...
Models vs. Methods in Urban Drainage Calculation
This paper summarizes the findings of a recent study at Penn State aimed at recommended hydrologic techniques for small developing watersheds. The specific desk-top methods investigated...
Estimating Urban Flood-Frequency Characteristics
Methods in use by the U.S. Geological Survey to estimate flood-frequency characteristics for urban watersheds are compared with estimates based on the Soil Conservation Service TR-55 model....
Urban Watershed Data for the United States
The contents of an urban watershed data base compiled for a national urban flood-frequency study by the U.S. Geological Survey are described. The data base includes information for 269...
Geostatistics in Estimating Chemical Residuals at a Site
Kriging with generalized covariances is used to evaluate the effectiveness of remediation and cleaning of a contaminated site. The goal is to estimate: a) the amount of total volatile...
Santa Ana River Project Overview
The Santa Ana River Project, authorized for construction by the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, is designed to provide urban flow protection to the growing communities in Orange,...
Two-Dimensional Inter-Rill Flow Model for the Analysis of Agricultural Runoff
This paper presents a model describing the flow field for the inter-rill component of agricultural runoff. Given rainfall intensity, surface roughness, rill spacing, and longitudinal and...
Environmental Engineering
The 1989 Specialty Conference on Environmental Engineering was held in Austin, Texas on July 10-12, 1989 with cooperation from the University of Texas at Austin Civil Engineering Department...
Sludge in the Nineties
Strict new regulations proposed for sludge disposal have toughened the challenge ahead for engineers. The regulations are the first to ever address sludge disposal in a comprehensive,...
Putting Waste to Use
Although it's only been nine years since Superfund was passed, a traditional hazardous waste disposal process has nontheless been established. That is, wastes are taken to...
Water Beneath the City Streets
Urban groundwater control requires high levels of skill and experience but allows for only a small margin of error. Determining the best method for controlling groundwater requires knowing...
Training the Waste Watchers
Whether an engineer is going to work at a Superfund site himself, or if his firm will be doing cleanup work at the site, that engineer will want to take the 40 hour training course as...
National Water Conference
This book contains papers presented at the ASCE National Water Conference held at the University of Delaware, Newark, DE, July 17-20, 1989. The National Water Conference was cosponsored...
