Calculation of Runoff from Rainfall Using NURP Data
Peak runoff flows and flood hydrographs are important elements in the design of drainage and flood-protection structures. The validity of methods for predicting peak flow from rainfall...
Engineering Answers to Groundwater Impact Questions Using a Geographic Information System (GIS)
Environmental concerns have raised complex questions about the impacts of increased groundwater levels adjacent to navigational pools along the Red River, Louisiana. Previous studies had...
Climate Change and Water Management Flexibility
Changes in regional climate expected to occur as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases may have significant impacts on water resources. In this paper, I examine the sensitivity...
Applications of Remote Sensing to Irrigated Agriculture
Several uses for satellite digital imagery and data from portable field radiometers have been developed for the monitoring of agricultural crops, their yields, insect and disease attacks,...
Applications of Remote Sensing to Drainage
This paper summarizes examples of current applications of remote sensing information to drainage. Topics covered include drainage basin parameters, drainage problem identification, salinity...
Road and Airport Pavement Response Monitoring Systems
This proceedings,
Beyond Push-Button GPS
In 1993, the U.S. Air Force Space Command will complete its deployment of 24 satellites for the Global Positioning System, affording 3-dimensional positions and velocities 24 hours a day...
The Use of Sophisticated Three-Dimensional Numerical Models in Weather Modification Efforts
Understanding of the complex interactions between the mesoscale and cloud environment and between microphysical and dynamical processes within clouds can be substantially increased with...
Port of Ningbo Master Plan
The Port of Ningbo, one of China's main seaports, is located about midpoint on China's coastline, some 160 kilometers south of Shanghai, China's largest port. The broad region served by...
Analysis of a Wharf for a Container Terminal
A balanced combination of sophisticated computer programs was employed to model the soil strata, foundation and structure of a wharf for a new container terminal in the Port of Topolobampo,...
Application of Traffic Engineering Concepts to Pleasure Boat Traffic
The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors initiated a study to investigate the feasibility of adding slips along the main channel in Marina del Rey in response to the surplus...
Case Study ? Elliott Bay Marina Floating Moorage
The recently completed Elliott Bay Marina project in Seattle is one of the larger projects of this type in the country, with 1196 slips ranging from 32 feet to 60 feet, a floating fuel...
Non-Intrusive Rayleigh Wave Measurement System for Soil Profiling in Ports
Accurate shear wave velocity profiles have been long recognized as essential data to evaluate the dynamic response of soil deposits and soil-structure interaction under earthquake and...
Analysis of Dredged Material Deposition Patterns
Between November 1, 1989 and 30 March, 1990, nearly 1 million cubic yards of dredged material were disposed in Puget Sound as the first phase (Element I) of the construction of the Navy's...
Results of a Monitoring Program of Moored Ship Response to Gravity and Infragravity Waves
An automated monitoring system was designed and operated at a coal terminal in Los Angeles Harbor, and a container terminal in Long Beach Harbor, to obtain the complete six degree-of-freedom...
Floating or Fixed Dock for RO/RO Ship Operations
Floating pontoon-type dock structures are typically used for RO/RO ship berthing. Primary advantage of a floating dock for RO/RO berthing is the relatively constant height relationship...
Evaluation of Proposed Port Facilities, Charleston Harbor, South Carolina
Often it is necessary for port facility designers to evaluate various alternative development plans for port facilities. These evaluations may include a ship navigability study or an evaluation...
Predicting Water Demand in Agricultural Regions Using Time Series Forecasts of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration
Overall, it can be said that the time series model developed in this study did provide superior forecasting results for the Brawley, CA, site. This indicates that the monthly reference...
Streamflow Forecasting Using Trainable Neural Networks
In this investigation the practicality of applying a backpropagation neural network to modeling watershed response characteristics is examined. Two separate tests were performed. One test...
Spatial Decision Support System for Toxic Spill Modeling in the Ohio River
Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) are hardware-software systems that incorporate spatial analysis and modeling in a workstation environment. The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation...
