A Linked Stream-Aquifer System Model
A linked stream-aquifer system (LISAS) model is described. This model includes a deterministic sequential flow simulation component which generates hydrographs of surface runoff and deep...
Evaluation of Surface-Water - Ground-Water Interaction Coefficients in Water-Resources Planning Model
A water-resources planning model formulated as a mixed-integer program is used to screen and sequence proposed projects such that the present cost of meeting future water demands is minimized....
Transport Model for Aquifer Reclamation Management
A contaminant transport model which is specifically designed for management applications is developed. A key feature is the transient velocity field needed in the solution of the advection-dispersion...
Modeling Coal Pile Leachate - A Case Study
Ground water transport of coal leachate from an existing unlined coal storage pile was modeled using the USGS 'Computer Model of Two-Dimensional Solute Transport and Dispersion...
Groundwater Quality Modeling at Redlands/Crafton Area
Organic groundwater contamination exists in the Redlands area of the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin which is of major concern to the health and water agencies in the region. The contaminants...
Estimating Low-Flow Frequencies of Ungaged Streams in New England
Equations to estimate low flows were developed using multiple-regression analysis with a sample of 48 river basins, which were selected from the U. S. Geological Survey's...
Application of the New SCS Time of Concentration Method
The second edition of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) TR-55, published in June 1986, introduces a new method for calculating the time of concentration for storm runoff flowing through...
Some New Snyder Type Coefficients for Small Watersheds
Data collected on the Goodwin Creek watershed has produced a continuous hydrologic record from 37 rain gages and runoff record from 14 runoff stations within a drainage area of 8. 26 sq...
Changing Hydrology - The Middle Mississippi River
Observed daily flow and stage at major stream gages on the middle Mississippi River are numerically and graphically analyzed to quantify and illustrate the magnitude and seasonality of...
The Dallas Floodway Project
This paper explores the history of the Dallas Floodway project, past performance of the project under various flood conditions, recently updated hydrologic and hydraulic evaluations, and...
A New Method for Synthesizing a Six Hour Unit Hydrograph
A new methodology was devised that would use readily available basin physical parameters for the determination of unit graphs in undeveloped and ungaged areas. Rather than using small...
Time-Domain Dam-Reservoir-Interaction Analysis Based on Boundary Elements
For a reservoir with an arbitrary shape of the upstream face and of the bottom including an adjacent regular part of constant depth extending to infinity, the hydrodynamic-stiffness matrix...
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...
Modeling Permissive Movements in TRANSYT-7F
Traffic Network Study Tool (TRANSYT-7F) is one of the most widely used traffic flow analysis and traffic signal timing optimization models in the United States and elsewhere. Through 'Release...
Conversion of the MIDAS Accident Analysis Model
The MIDAS (Michigan Dimensional Accident Surveillance) System has been developed to provide accident analysis capability. A microcomputer version of MIDAS is being developed to make the...
Teacher Friendly Transportation Programs
This contribution describes a set of computer programs that has mainly been developed to demonstrate operating and possibilities of mainframe programs during lectures. The program set...
Expert Systems for Traffic Signal Control
The level of service achieved by a pretimed signal timing control strategy implemented at an isolated intersection incurring saturated and over-saturated demand varies with actual traffic...
Evaluation of Sediment Transport and Friction Factor Equations Using MOBED
Three sediment transport rate equations and the same number of friction factor equations for mobile boundary channel flows were evaluated using a mobile boundary flow model called MOBED....
Economical Computer Controls for Low Head Hydro
Small power systems based on renewable energy sources such as low head water falls, wind, solar and ocean tides all suffer from stochastic changes in input power. Economically viable,...
Small Scale and Low Head Hydro Development in Canada: An Overview of Federal Activities and Policy
Through research and development, new small turbines have been tested and a Darrieus type vertical axis hydraulic turbine (VAHT) has been developed and field tested. Manuals for hydrologic...
