Application of Lotus Symphony in Water Quality Modeling
The spreadsheet capability of the Lotus Symphony program package was used to simulate the dissolved oxygen dynamics in streams and rivers. 'Windows' were created...
The Middletown (CT) Riverfront Development Plan
Middletown is strategically located on the banks of the Connecticut River in the central part of Connecticut. Middletown has a tradition as a maritime center. During the seventeenth and...
The Charles River Project

The Revitalization of Toledo's Waterfront
This paper traces the revitalization of Toledo's Maumee riverfront through a public/private cooperative effort that has spanned more than a decade. The development and funding...
Norfolk, Virginia Case Study
Through decades of hard work at revitalization, Norfolk has learned from its experience - success and failures. Perhaps the best lesson learned comes from the success of waterfront development...
Waterfront Development in Downtown Jacksonville
The development of the waterfront on the St. Johns River in downtown Jacksonville can best be described as 'putting the right pieces together, in the right place, at the right...
The River Walks of San Antonio Move to Providence
At the historic heart of Providence, Rhode Island, three rivers divide the city into three areas. Nearly one mile of river corridors have been abused over the last century, resulting in...
CPM Harnesses Mammoth Powerplant Job
One of the largest air quality control retrofit projects in the U. S. is at the Sammis Plant of Ohio Edison Co., along the Ohio River 40 miles west of Pittsburgh. The coal-fired plant's...
Method for Weakening the Ice Cover in Northern Rivers
The recent acceleration of development activities in the North, mainly related to the development of oil and gas fields, has necessitated the bridging of many arctic streams. In such streams,...
Pipeline Hardware: Special Designs for Arctic Projects
The hardware used to support and protect arctic pipelines has evolved through several years of innovative design work by various engineering firms. The hardware used on the Kuparuk River...
Dam Pioneers Concrete Variant
The Willow Creek Dam in Oregon is the nation's first dam made entirely of roller compacted concrete. The design and construction of this dam are described and special problems...
Seismic Analysis of Horse Creek Dam, Hudson, Colorado
On April 8, 1981, six days after a Richter magnitude 4. 0 earthquake, inspectors from the Colorado State Engineer's Office discovered a small crack in outboard side of Horse...
An Ecosystem Approach to Watershed Management
An example is drawn from the Little River Research Watersheds near Tifton, Georgia. Riparian hardwood forests (low management) and upland agricultural fields (high management) are the...
Synthetic Unit Hydrographs for Ozark Watersheds
Few concepts in modern hydrology have been more widely used and abused than unit hydrograph theory. Nevertheless, during the years since its introduction in 1932 as an extension of the...
Acid Deposition in the Wind River Mountains
National attention has been focused on the discovery of acidified lakes in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and elsewhere in New England. It is commonly believed that the West, in...
Maximum Water Source Utilization Using Lotus 1-2-3
This paper discusses the use of microcomputers to determine the optimum mix of sources for the Fargo-Moorhead area's water supply network. The area's major water...
Micro Use in Water Management in the Brazos Basin
The Brazos River Authority, an agency of the State of Texas created to conserve and develop the surface waters of the 42,000 square mile (110,000 km) Brazos River Basin, is in the midst...
Storage Projection for Reservoir Systems
Two methods are studied for determining the probability distribution of future levels of storage in a reservoir system: transient analysis and Gould's probability matrix method....
Design and Operating Rules for Reservoir Storage to Offset Future Consumptive Use
The Washington Metropolitan Area (WMA) relies largely on the Potomac River for water supply. After many years of study, a coordinated regional operating plan was adopted by the water supply...
Stochastic Modeling of Mean Areal Precipitation for Generating Synthetic Streamflows
Statistical precipitation models used as input to conceptual hydrologic models, offer an alternative mechanism for simulating streamflow. In sparsely gauged catchments, or areas where...
