The Application of Social Science Analyses to the Problem of Urban Drought
Past drought experiences have shown that extra storage capacity does not necessarily ensure against economic losses related to droughts. Since managers of water systems do not know the...

The Development of Metropolitan Water Markets: Seattle, Washington 1887-1987
This paper applies the case-study approach to examine the development of metropolitan water markets and its implications for central city and suburban water districts. The greater Seattle,...

Mathematical Modeling of Compound Channel with High Sediment Concentration
The mathematical model for erodible channels, FLUVIAL-12, has been extended to simulate the fluvial processes in the lower reach of the Yellow River in China. Fluvial processes in the...

Probabilistic Maintenance Opportunities
The Bureau of Reclamation has instituted a number of operation and maintenance oversight activities to ensure that Reclamation and water-user operated projects are operated and maintained...

A Measure of Reservoir Efficiency
The notion of reservoir efficiency is defined for a water supply reservoir operated according to the standard policy, that is, one where the release is constant whenever physically possible....

The Life and Science of R. A. Bagnold
The purpose of this paper is to highlight and honor the exciting life and many significant contributions made by Brigadier Ralph A. Bagnold to our understanding of hydraulics and sediment...

Experimental Design for Parameter Estimation in Groundwater
Model parameters have to be estimated from historical input-output observations using inverse procedures of parameter identification. Unfortunately, because of the limitation of the quantity...

River Sedimentation
This paper discusses Chapter 4 of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Manual of Sedimentation Engineering. The chapter identifies potential river sedimentation problems, associates...

Hydrologic Forecasting in the National Weather Service
A description of hydrologic forecasting procedures of the National Weather Service (NWS) is presented. Also included is a description of various hydrologic products produced by the NWS...

Potential Effects of Global Climatic Change on the Tennessee Valley Authority Reservoir System
Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other 'greenhouse' gases are likely to increase global temperatures and...

Sediment Survey of Lake Powell
The 1986 Lake Powell Sediment Survey documented the present storage-elevation relationship and loss of storage from sediment accumulation since the reservoir began filling. From the calculated...

Task Committee Report on Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
The results of the ASCE Hydraulics Division Task Committee on Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems are summarized in a very comprehensive report entitled Reliability Analysis...

New Methodology for Determining the Optimal Rehabilitation and Replacement of Water Distribution System Components
A methodology is presented for the determination of the optimal timing for the rehabilitation/replacement of water distribution system components in order to minimize costs. In this model...

Groundwater Transport in a Heterogeneous Aquifer: Tracking a Complex Plume
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is conducting a large-scale groundwater research project as a part of the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) Solid Waste Environmental...

3-Dimensional Groundwater Modeling of the West Coast Basin Barrier
This paper describes a practical application of groundwater modeling of seawater intrusion in southern California. The West Coast Basin is one of the major groundwater reservoirs underlying...

Fractional-Step Method for Two-Dimensional Estuarine Transport
The fractional-step method was used in this study to split the longitudinal advective transport term from the other terms in the two-dimensional, laterally-averaged equation for estuarine...

Density Currents and Their Application in Hydraulic Engineering: Task Committee Progress Report
The Task Committee on Density Currents and Their Applications in Hydraulic Engineering operates under the Technical Committee on Hydrologic Transport and Dispersion. The Task Committee...

Power Systems for Production, Construction Life Support, and Operations in Space
As one looks forward to mankind's future in space, it becomes obvious that unprecedented amounts of power will be required for the exploration, colonization, and exploitation...

Wastewater Recycle/Reuse: Lessons-Learned from USA-CERL Research and Development
Ultimate acceptance of water recycle/reuse by the scientific community is a function of rigorous data collection and successful demonstration regarding health effects. An uncomplicated,...

The Physics of Sediment Transport by Wind and Water
Sponsored by a special projects committee under the guidance of the Sedimentation Technical Committee of ASCE. This collection contains noteworthy,...
