Water supply, reallocation and conjunctive use options, within the San Joaquin and Tulare basins of the Central Valley of California, are being considered by Federal and State Planning...

Instream Habitat Considering Hydro-Peaking
Hydroelectric projects with storage have the characteristic of being able to generate electricity with short notice and to stop generating electricity with equally short notice. This peaking...

Groundwater Quality Network Design
This paper presents a methodology that uses optimization for designing a groundwater monitoring network. The methodology incorporates parameter estimation in conjunction with a numerical...

Applications of Probability Matrix Methods for Texas Reservoirs
Probability matrix methods are a class of procedures which were generally developed from P.A.P. Moran's Theory of Storage. In essence, probability matrix methods are a means...

Marginal Cost Techniques for Reservoir Optimization
Selection of the optimum water supply reservoir from multiple reservoir sites under consideration in a water resource planning study for the Houston Metroplex evaluated hydrology, engineering,...

Study of Direct Potable Reuse of Reclaimed Wastewater: Preliminary Results of a Five Year Study
The City of San Diego, California has received Clean Water Grant funding to build and operate a 0.5 million gallon per day facility to demonstrate a wastewater treatment system, utilizing...

Conjunctive Management of the Edwards Aquifer and Connected Surface Streams in South Central Texas
The Edwards Aquifer is a long, narrow conduit through which water moves underground across parts of South Central Texas. Increased use of water from the Edwards Aquifer has been substantial...

Managing an Interruptible Water Supply
The Lower Colorado River Authority has developed a plan for the management of an interruptible water supply for demands which do not require a firm commitment of specific amounts of water....

Corps of Engineers Drought Contingency Plans in Texas
The Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is currently preparing Drought Contingency Plans (DCP) for the river basins and its projects. These plans will be incorporated into the master...

Government Cooperation in Water Resources Planning and Management
The California State Legislators have shown real concern in trying to do something about the clearly identified water shortage. Many bills and funding programs have been proposed to encourage...

Watermaster Administration of Texas State Waters
The State of Texas is developing a watermaster program which will enable the State to administer water right issues on a regional basis. A primary role of a watermaster operation is to...

Water for Texans?Using the Water Development Fund

The Coming Drought: Are You Ready?
Drought planning is necessary for the orderly development of a water supply system. Long range planning, risk analysis, multi-discipline cooperation, and public awareness are critical...

Drought Indication and Response
A study of rainfall and reservoir level data was conducted on the water supply system of South Central Connecticut to investigate the possibility of developing reliable, easy to use drought...

Transferable Rations for Drought Management?
This paper examines the concept of transferable water rations from an economic perspective. Transferable water rations may improve efficiency in the distribution of water by allowing customers...

Analysis of Groundwater Quality: A Database Application for the Nassau County, NY, Water Management Plan
Nassau County, Long Island, New York is presently developing a Comprehensive Water Management Plan. To determine the extent and trends in nitrate contamination of the groundwater, a preliminary...

Development of an Optimization Model for Groundwater Withdrawal
An optimization model has been developed to simulate optimal values of withdrawal from a given aquifer system. The linear programming technique has been used to formulate the objective...

Application of a Water Budget for Instream Flows
A portion of a water supply reservoir can be dedicated to supplying instream flows. This subreservoir is operated to provide instream fish habitat below the reservoir when releases to...

Application of Risk Management and Value Engineering Techniques to Evaluation of Water Resources Projects with Special Emphasis on Geological Hazards
The purpose of this paper is to provide: 1) a perspective for identifying and evaluating in comparable terms all hazards at a site; and 2) a means for intelligent decision-making based...
