Political and Institutional Constraints on Water Resources Studies
Urban water resource planning studies are conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the request of a local sponsor, frequently in order to address a specific problem. The public...

Emerging Markets for System Engineering
System engineering provides a double edged sword for those involved in water resources development and management. The tools used in the analysis and development of complex water resource...

Water Supply and Sanitation Policies in Mexico
The National Water Commission (CNA), is the responsible Department for the Governmental Water Division in Mexico. Within the National Potable Water Supply and Sanitation Program, the Commission...

Water Supply and Sanitation Strategies in Mexico
The Mexican Federal Government has started the National Potable Water Supply and Sanitation Program. In the latter part of 1991, there will be a change concerning acceptance of projects...

Experiences with Military Installation Drainage Systems
This paper presents a brief survey of experience with drainage systems found on Army bases. In addition, selected current drainage-related research topics which support Army installations...

Using Climate Model Output to Assess the Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources
The use of general circulation models (GCMs) to provide climate data for regional assessments of the impacts of changing climate on water resources stretches the limits of what the models...

Guidelines for Water-Resource Planning under Cliamte Change
This study combines the use of several standard tools of hydrology (synthetic hydrology, flood risk analysis, reservoir simulation) with newer considerations of increased demand for water...

Projecting Climate Change to Small Basins: Potential Impact of Global Warming on Hurricane-Induced Flooding in South Florida
An important difficulty in evaluating potential hydrologic impacts of climate variability is that predictions of climate change require global simulation models that do not resolve phenomena...

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...

Uncertainty in Urban Hydrologic Modeling
Uncertainty is pervasive in hydrologic modeling. Uncertainty is present in the formulation of the physical situation to be modeled, in the form of the model to be used, in the boundary...

Model Mania in Urban Hydrology: Present Dilemmas
A recent ASCE Task Committee on microcomputer software in urban hydrology has just completed its inventory of 40 software packages available at modest cost to the urban drainage engineer....

Unification in Estimation of Confidence Intervals
One area of future development needs in technology pertaining to surface runoff hydrology is the unification of techniques used by govermental agencies in the estimation of surface runoff...

Hydrologic Modeling for Decision-Makers
All Properties within a community benefit from having an adequate system of storm drainage facilities and controls. Such benefits include: reduction of hazards to property and life resulting...

A PC Method to Compile Land Use Data for Hydrology
A computerized method for compiling and reducing land use data for hydrologic computer model simulation was developed. The technique was developed for use on an IBM compatible PC. The...

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...

Integration of an ARC/INFO GIS with HEC-1
A hypothetical watershed was constructed to test the efficacy of using an ARC/INFO Geographic Information System to provide input for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-1 hydrologic...

Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Systems Planning and Implementation
The paper describes the approach taken to develop infrastructure rehabilitation procedures for Water Distribution Systems. Early research attempted to develop a mains condition oriented...

The Boundary Element Method in Engineering Practice
The advances in computer aided engineering has revolutionised many aspects of the engineering design in the last twenty years or so. During this time, design engineers have relied heavily...

An Efficient Parallel-Vector Equation Solver
An efficient parallel-vector equation solver is developed for supercomputers. The matrix is stored in a combined column and row orientation style which improves the vector performance...

A Visualization Toolkit for Fluid Mechanics
The increasing complexity of both experimental and computational models in fluid mechanics requires innovative techniques for analysis and comprehension. Visual methods have been shown...
