Sea Level Rise and Estuarine Processes
The impacts of the projected sea level rise due to the greenhouse effect on the tidal hydraulics and the longitudinal and vertical distribution of the suspended sediment and salinity in...
Significance of Mean Water Level Response in Bays
The occurrence of a net hydraulic head, or superelevation, is a basic feature of bays. It is generated by inlet-bay response to natural forcing. The effects of bottom friction and Stokes...
Effect of Atmospheric Forcing on Tide Propagation
This paper presents computations and observations indicating that nonlinear interaction with wind waves and subtidal sea level changes can change estuarine motion in the tidal frequency...
Modeling the Effect of Weirs on Reservoir Releases
A computer model was developed to examine the influence of weirs on the rise of water levels and increases in velocities from reservoir releases. The model allows for investigation of...
Alternative Methods for Representing Sinkholes in Three-Dimensional Ground Water Flow Models
Two methods of representing the sinkholes in central Florida were investigated with a three-dimensional finite element model recently developed by Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. Both...
Settling Tank Model for Deposition in a Tidal Lagoon
A model is developed to assess deposition of suspended sediment in Great Sound, New Jersey. The model employs the classic settling tank concept which utilizes plug flow hydrodynamics,...
Investigation of Main Supply Canal and Lateral Fluctuations
The Imperial Irrigation District and the U. S. Water Conservation Laboratory of Phoenix, Arizona are conducting a joint project to study the causes and effects of water level fluctuations...
Probabilistic Forecasts of Continued High Great Lakes Water Levels
Existing projections of Great Lakes water levels over the next several years do not consider how meteorologic variability affects the hydrologic processes (basin runoff, overlake precipitation,...
Rescuing the Everglades
After a century of trying to control Florida's Everglades, water management officials have decided that cooperating with nature is better. A new strategy known as the Rainfall...
Modernization of Existing Hydroelectric Power Stations in Conjunction with Conversion to Automatic Operation
The easiest and, in the long run, the least expensive method in most cases is the installation of an electronic turbine governor that is not only easy to incorporate in the power station...
Real Time Information Systems for Improved Port Operations
The technology to make appropriate measurements and to forecast conditions for short intervals is available today. Simple collection, analysis and dissemination systems are within the...
Sea Level Rise and Coastal Stormwater Drainage
Global sea level rise as a result of the greenhouse effect and the past trend and future projection on the rise are discussed. Potential problems associated with coastal stormwater drainage...
Saltwater Intrusion in a Highly Transmissive Unconfined Aquifer
Saltwater intrusion is particularly dynamic in coastal Dade County because of the high permeability of the Biscayne aquifer, because of the good interconnection between canals and the...
Automated Control for Central Arizona Project Distribution Systems
Computer based automatic control for three extensive open channel water distribution systems is described. Radio telemetry allows a central computer to execute control logic at individual...
The Ultimate High Tide
Unprecedented consumption of fossil fuels and clearing of vegetation have spurred interest in the greenhouse effect. Under this scenario, a build-up of carbon dioxide and other gases in...
The Impact of Selected Sea Level Rise Scenarios on the Beach and Coastal Structures at Sea Bright, N.J.
The physical impacts of selected sea level rise scenarios on the shoreline of Sea Bright, New Jersey, are investigated. The sea level rise scenarios chosen for investigation were developed...
Regional Target Level Modification for Groundwater Quality
A procedure for modifying an optimal regional potentiometric surface designed solely on the basis of quantitative considerations, is described. These modifications are based on quality...
Direct Filtration of High Turbidity Water Using Contact Flocculation
It is shown that the system of bed contact flocculation followed by standard dual media filters provides a viable alternative to both conventional as well as direct filtration, particularly...
Streamflow Losses, Consequent Flow Through a Thick Unsaturated Zone, and Recharge to an Unconfined Aquifer
Two experiments were conducted in conjunction with a 23-day aquifer test made in south-central Arizona to determine (1) water loss from a natural channel and (2) flow through a 330-foot-thick...
Sea-Level Rise and Marsh Vertical Accretion Rates in Chesapeake Bay
Chesapeake Bay marshes, in their wide variety of vegetation types, salinity ranges, and environmental settings provide a unique perspective on the relations between marsh vertical accretion...
