ESOLIN: A Model to Optimize Water Resource Systems
ESOLIN is a simulation model designed to study and optimize the development and operation of large hydro resource schemes. It was developed as a tool for the development of large hydro...
Effects of Data Extension on Drought Probabilities
A condensed-parameter disaggregation model was applied to the monthly streamflow records on two rivers in Idaho, to investigate the occurrence and probabilities of drought periods. Using...
The GEV Distribution in Drought Frequency Analysis
Three decades have passed since A. F. Jenkinson found the general solution to the Stability Postulate, which is the condition that all the extremes must meet, and after him that solution...
Deriving Streamflow Distribution Probabilities
Streamflow distribution probabilities are often involved in the stochastic analysis of water resources systems. Limited by data availability, certain probability terms can hardly be abstracted...
Analysis of Drought Indicators
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources currently monitors five parameters in its regional water supply management program. These are: (1) accumulated precipitation deficit;...
Drought Analysis in the Ohio River Basin
This study formulates the drought series, including drought occurrence time, duration, and deficit volume by the use of daily streamflows and a tracer level of one-half mean value. The...
Mapping of Drought Status in South Florida
The Water Management District (the District) sets regulations to guide water users in conservation of water use in four phases of drought severity. The District's Governing Board is responsible...
Southeastern Drought of 1986 - Lessons Learned
An interim drought management plan for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (A-C-F) river basin was completed in April, 1985, just in time for testing as the drought developed. Objectives...
Time Base of a Hydrograph
For design projects in water resources, a hydrograph is commonly used to determine the required flood volumes. The time base of a hydrograph is a crucial parameter in such studies, and...
Sell Your Organization on the Seven C's for Effective Microcomputer Management
Managing microcomputer resources within your organization is not always smooth sailing. This paper will highlight seven attributes which an organization would do well to follow for more...

This book contains papers presented at the ASCE Irrigation and Drainage Division specialty conference, Irrigation Systems for the 21st Century, held in Portland, Oregon, July, 1987. Environmental...
Ground Water Management
This manual is designed to present an outline of groundwater hydrology, the details of planning for groundwater management, and a process of selection and implementation of management...
Resource Mobilization for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Developing Nations
The ASCE International Conference on Resource Mobilization for Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation in Developing Countries was held at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico,...
Sultan River Project Operation Study for the Sultan River Hydroelectric Project
The project will be operated to maximize energy production from the Sultan River within the operational constraints imposed by the water demand for the City of Everett and by the instream...
Lemon Dam Hydropower Project
The Florida Water Conservancy District (District), the entity responsible for the operation of the dam and for repayment of the costs, had been interested in the hydropower potential of...
Town Bluff Dam, Texas: A Federal?Non-Federal Hydropower Partnership
Town Bluff Dam is located in southeast Texas, on the Neches River about 45 miles north of Beaumont, Texas. The dam is one element of the authorized Lower Neches and Angelina Rivers, Texas,...
Construction Management of Small Hydro Projects
A major driving force in the small hydro industry is the corps of private entrepreneurs actively engaged in the development of small hydro projects. While many of these developers are...
Non-Federal Hydropower Development at Federal Facilities
The opportunities are available for meaningful coordination among hydropower developers, consulting engineers, and Federal, State, and local agencies to promote comprehensive development...
The Corps of Engineers' New Hydropower Manual
The Corps of Engineers has recently completed a new Engineering Manual (EM), which outlines procedures used for the evaluation of hydropower projects. It will serve as the basic Corps...
Roller Compacted Concrete and Tunnel Boring Machines?Two Tools for Designers and Planners
