An Interactive Computer Model to Simulate Water Quality of Streamflow from Forested Watersheds in Arizona
To better formulate water resources policies and management strategies, a computer model that simulates concentrations of dissolved chemicals in snowmelt-runoff from forested watersheds...
Demonstration of Watershed Management Effectiveness in Sediment Control Using Comprehensive Watershed Modeling
The Arroyo Pasajero, which drains a 500-square mile watershed in the Coastal Range of California, flows into the San Joaquin Valley, intersecting the San Luis Canal section of the California...
Modeling Erosion and Effects of Agricultural BMP's on a West Tennessee Watershed
The application of Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) to nonpoint source data was examined. The model is used to determine the effects of land management practices upon surface...
Conjunctive Use of Surface and Groundwater
A computer model was developed by T. Sammis and Z. Samani to simulate the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. The model consisted of a groundwater simulation subroutine and a crop...
Canal Automation for Flexibility on Sloping Canals
This project and tested a method which would allow flexible water deliveries from medium-large canals. The canal gate movement algorithm CARDD (Canal Automation for Rapid Demand Deliveries)...
Evaluating Groundwater Pollution Potential Using Geographical Information Systems
A procedure for developing groundwater pollution potential maps using a geographical information system (GIS) is introduced. The concept of pollution potential mapping is discussed, along...
Near Real Time Irrigation Scheduling Using Heat Unit Based Crop Coefficients
An interactive computer program (SCHEDPEN) which utilizes growing-degree-day based crop coefficients for irrigation scheduling was developed and tested on cotton during 1988 and 1989 at...
Multi-Date Image Analyses Used for Determining Flood Area Impacts in the Saginaw River Basin, Michigan
During the months of September and October 1986, a series of storms swept across the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. These heavy downpours caused $400 million worth of flood damages. Significant...
Rainfall-Sampling Impacts on Runoff
The sensitivity of computed peak-runoff rates to rainfall-sampling frequency over three semiarid watersheds in southeastern Arizona of increasing size is investigated using the methodology...
Runoff and Erosional Processes in an Arid Watershed
This paper reports the results of geomorphic, hydrologic, and hydraulic analyses that integrated a physical process computer model of rainfall/runoff processes with a geomorphic process/response...
Water Supply and Aeration Demands for Shrimp Farms
A computer model was developed simulating flow and aeration requirements for a range of farm sizes, from 50 to 2000 hectares. Climatic effects and water quality upset conditions were included...
Guidance on the Selection and Use of Sediment Discharge Formulas
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the sediment function module of the computer program SAM. SAM is being developed as a product of the US Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control Channels...
Application of the Generalized Channel Routing Model
Using the linear full dynamic finite difference model the applicability of diffusion and kinematic wave models is investigated. Two dimensionless numbers are suggested for applicable range...
Status and New Capabilities of Computer Program HEC-6: Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs
Last year the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) and the Waterways Experiment Center (WES) incorporated the results from more than ten years of research and development into a new version...
Computational Open-Channel Hydraulics for Movable-Bed Problems
As a major branch of computational hydraulics, notable advances have been made in numerical modeling of unsteady open-channel flow since the beginning of the computer age. According to...
Diffusion Wave Overland Flow Module
This paper documents the diffusion-wave overland flow module contained in the FORTRAN-callable routine OVERLAND. Subjects covered include the theoretical background, model formulation,...
Use of Linear Programming for Hydraulics Problems
Water is becoming a more and more precious commodity worldwide with each passing day. At the same time, the optimum and most productive solutions to water control and utilization are becoming...
Pump Selection Program and a Better User Interface
Numerous highly innovative computer solutions to engineering problems are of little use to the practicing engineer because these programs are not supported by adequate user interface....
Two-Dimensional Finite Element Simulation of the Flooding Characteristics in Kawainui Marsh, Hawaii
This paper summarizes the results from the calibration and application of a two-dimensional finite element model capable of simulating the complex circulation characteristics of Kawainui...
Computation of Sediment Transport Resulting From Snowmelt and Rainfall in a Sierra Nevada Watershed
Erosion within a watershed can cause extensive damage to the land and adjacent properties. It is a common problem throughout the United States, and has become severe in many areas of the...
