Alluvial Fan: Subset Definitions
The Flood Control District of Maricopa County, Arizona recently completed a study whose goal was to identify and describe four alluvial fans for instrumentation and long-term monitoring....

Flood Assessment at a Low-Level Radioactive Waste Site in Southern Nevada
Flood hazard analysis on alluvial fans using Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) methodology is not limited to the FEMA Alluvial Fan Methodology (AFM). Other FEMA-accepted methods...

A GIS Application to Hydrology
This paper illustrates an application of Geographic Information System (GIS) in estimating input parameters for Penn State Runoff Model (PSRM), a watershed rainfall-runoff simulation model....

The Use of Geographic Information Systems and Models on Personal Computer and Workstation Platforms, in the Development of a Wellhead Protection Program, Salinas Valley, California
The Salinas Valley is located on California's Central Coast. The ground water basin supports 850,000,000 M² of irrigated crops which have a market...

GIS Landscape?A Solution for Wellhead Protection
Wellhead protection is an emerging issue for water suppliers based largely on the 1986 Amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). State governments are developing wellhead...

Nonpoint Source Pollution Model for Agricultural and Rural Watersheds
A dynamic hydrologic and nonpoint source pollution simulation model for agricultural and rural watersheds; capable of simulating rainfall-runoff, soil erosion, sediment transport, mixing...

Evaluation of the Effects of Weather Modification to Enhance Reservoir Yield During Drought?Salinas Valley, California
Cloud seeding has been conducted for water years 1990-91 and 1991-92 in Monterey County, California in response to the extended drought. The Monterey County Water Resources Agency weather...

Development of a Raw Water Master Plan Model to Assist Long Range Drought and Water Conservation Planning for the City of Louisville, Colorado
The City of Louisville, a municipal corporation charged with meeting the water demands of almost 5,000 water accounts and faced with a diminishing supply of available senior water rights...

Lake-Level Declines in Karst Lake During Droughts
Lake-level declines in Brooklyn Lake, a karst lake in north-central Florida, have been investigated. Below average rainfall, vertical leakage to the underlying aquifer system, declining...

A Comparison of L-Moments with Method of Moments
A comparison of the Conventional Moments Method (CMM) with the L-Moments Method (LMM) for selecting a distribution is made. Five distributions GEV (Generalized Extreme Value), LNO (Lognormal),...

Lower Missouri River Water Quality Model for Evaluating Flow Alterations
A modified version of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) one-dimensional (longitudinal) stream water quality model, QUAL2E, was applied to the lower Missouri River to evaluate...

Additional Years of Record and Peak Discharge
The effect of additional years of stream gaging records is analyzed for stream gages in Nebraska. Frequency estimates are based on procedures outlined in Bulletin 17B, including skew coefficient...

An Operational GIS to Support State-Wide Hydrologic and Nonpoint Pollution Modeling
A geographic information system(GIS) that is structured for hydrologic and nonpoint pollution modeling(GISHYDRO) became operational in the Maryland State Highway Administration's Division...

A Lake Water Quality Management Model to Evaluate Stormwater Management
A research project was completed to develop a dynamic lake water quality management model for Lake Tarpon, a 10.3 km², shallow lake in Central Florida....

New Directions in Integrated Hydrologic Modeling with GIS
In 1988, the Florida Institute of Phosphate Research funded a project to develop an integrated hydrologic model to more adequately represent mine reclamation hydrology. Five years later,...

A Unified Approach to Flood Frequency Analysis
Most stochastic hydrologic studies are based on statistical distributions that are pre-selected without giving consideration to the applicability of the distribution to a particular data...

A New Look at the Statistical Estimation of PMP
The statistical base of Hershfield's K_mvalue Method and its application for estimating Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) were reviewed. The mathematical...

Adapting BMPs to California Hydrology and Climatology
The State of California has the most diverse hydrology and climatology in the United States. It boasts the highest and lowest elevations in the continental U.S. and annual rainfall varies...

Mean Areal Precipitation Estimation Using Radar
The accuracy of mean areal total storm precipitation (MAP) over small urban basins (30-100 km²) in the Denver, CO metro region was examined using...

Water Resources Management Using a Geographic Information System over a Wide Area Network
To assist in the management of water resources in the Santa Ana River Basin, in Southern California, the Bureau of Reclamation in Denver, Colorado and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority...
