Regional Water Supply Development in the SWFWMD
Regional water supply authorities have been formed within the Southwest Florida Water Management District in an effort to meet growing water demands of a rapidly expanding population....
Regional Water Supply Management in Southern New Hampshire
This paper presents the findings and recommendations of the Southern New Hamsphire Water Supply Study regarding regional water supply management in the study area. The study area includes...
Regional Water-Supply Development and CWA Section 404
Regional water-supply development is generally promoted because of potential cost savings and improved system management, but regionalization may also provide an opportunity to reduce...
Urban Hydrologic Modelling: HEC's Experience
Urban hydrologic modelling began at the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) with the first versions of the HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph Package. The early applications were for large, primarily...
Management of Subsidence in an Urban Environment
Houston, Texas is the fourth largest city in the United States and with its metropolitan area included, comprises a population of almost four million people. Large quantities of groundwater...
Ground Water Management in the Memphis, Tennessee Urban Area
In 1887, the first known water well was placed in the aquifer which presently supplies almost 100% of the water used by the Memphis Urban Area (MUA). Since that time, the MUA has developed...
The Use of GIS in the Study of Water Resources
GIS is becoming an increasingly important tool to the water resource plannar and manager. However, in order to integrate GIS effectively into this field, current and future hydrologists...
Case Studies on the Use of Semi-Standalone Control Loops for the Management of Regional Public Water Supply
The West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority is charged with the operation and management of the public water supply that serves over 1 million people in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida....
Stormwater Management Policies for Two Urbanizing Communities in Western Suburban Cleveland
The cities of North Ridgeville and Avon Lake, Ohio are two western suburbs of Cleveland. The recent completion of the interstate highway, I-480, the resurgence of Lake Erie as a prime...
Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Systems Planning and Implementation
