Watershed Erosion
Scientific agricultural planning requires knowledge of the relations between soil and water that cause soil loss, and of the procedure to reduce such losses on cropland. This paper presents...

Structural and Ice Effects on Salt Water Marsh Hydrology
This study focussed on a New England salt water marsh in which the construction of two drainage structures (culverts) have significantly affected the marsh hydraulics. The result is the...

Is There a Future for Desalting in Meeting California's Water Needs?
This paper addresses the potential role of desalting reclaimed, brackish, and sea waters for use in meeting California's water needs. Brief descriptions of sources and costs are included....

Coping with Agricultural Shortages
Coping with agricultural shortages occupies most of the time and energy of the Kern County Water Agency (Agency). The Agency's participation in the State Water Project (SWP) originated...

Economic Costs to the State Water Project of Environmental Protection and Mitigation Measures
The State Water Project stores water in the Sierra Nevada for subsequent diversion from the Bay and Delta for use by millions of Californians. Project construction and operation have caused...

Reducing the Potential Downstream Impacts of a Dam Failure
The dam safety regulations imposed by the individual states in the United States vary widely and provide inconsistent protection for the citizens of different states. The proximity of...

Dune Profiles Before and After Storm Events in Coastal Massachusetts
It is well known that short-term changes in dune profiles can have a major effect on the severity of storm damage to coastal areas. In light of this, the standardized methodology developed...

Development of the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Phosphorus Transport Model
The Lake Okeechobee watershed phosphorus model was developed to route flows and phosphorus loadings associated with point and nonpoint sources through a watershed transport system, and...

Orange County Florida Landfill Dilute Leachate Wetland Treatment and Restoration System
The Orange County Landfill began operation in 1971 as an EPA demonstration project for the purpose of defining landfill operations in high groundwater table areas. To prevent groundwater...

Surface Flows Over Intertidal Marshes
A marsh-flow measuring device has been designed to quantify the flow across the marsh surface. The fluorometric technique by tracking the visible substance (Rhodamine red dye) applied...

Development of San Gorgonio Pass Groundwater Flow Model I. Model Calibration
A groundwater flow model is being developed for use in management of a planned groundwater storage and recovery program for the Beaumont Storage Unit of the San Gorgonio Pass groundwater...

Modeling Saltwater Intrusion Control Measures in the West Coast Basin
In the 1960's and 1970's the West Coast Basin Barrier was constructed to protect tha major coastal groundwater basin from further salt water intrusion, which had been occurring as a result...

Federal Levee Effects on Flood Heights Near St. Louis
A physical model of the Middle Mississippi River was used to perform quantitative analyses of Federal levee effects on flood heights. Contrary to some opinions of the general public, these...

Case History: 100-Year Flood Event in San Francisco
San Francisco experienced a 100-year storm in the winter of 1981-2. This is a report of the flooding damage from this event and the actions that the City took to resolve the flooding problems....

Wetland Management in Britain: A Comparative Approach
Wetland management in the United Kingdom is in an early stage of development. The importation of management aims and techniques from other countries with more advanced programmes is an...

Mathematical Modeling of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta consists of a complex network of interconnected channels, open bodies of water, dead-end sloughs, export pumps, reservoirs, tide gates and irrigation pumps....

Application of Four Point Model to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Four Point (Delong et al. 1993) is a finite-difference, one-dimensional, unsteady, open channel, hydrodynamic model. The Modeling Support Branch of the Division of Planning, California...
