The Suwannee River Estuary: Cohesive Sedimentation
Cohesive sediment dynamics as effected by salinity intrusion are described for the Suwannee River Estuary, a large estuary flowing over the very shallow limestone shelf of Florida's...

Influence of the Drought Phenomenas of the Senegalese Coastal Ecosystems: The Case of the Saloum Estuary and Mangrove Area
The persistent drought, with the strong reduction in freshwater, causes an oversalinity from upstream to downstream in the Saloum waters. The mangrove system operates such as an inverse...

Erosion of the Nile Delta Coast
The construction of the High Aswan Dam has resulted in a total absence of River Nile flow into the Mediterranean, and a corresponding loss of the sediment source for the Delta. However,...

Multidisciplinary Barge Fleeting Site-Evaluation
The U. S. Maritime Administration, in cooperation with the State of Louisiana, recently (March 1985) released a major report on barge fleeting on the Lower Mississippi River. The study...

New Orleans Flood Gates Hydraulic Model Study
A hydraulic model study was conducted to evaluate the forces exerted on selected floodgates by flowing water as the gates are closed after flooding has begun. The results of the study...

Hydropower
Recent Developments
The Foothills Project has been under consideration by the Denver Board of Water Commissions for many years. It is one of the major steps in the continued efforts of the Board to provide...

Rock Masses
Modeling of Underground Openings/Probability of Slope Failure/Fracture of Intact Rock
While soil mechanics has been the dominant interest of Civil Engineers since Karl Terzaghi's recognition of the principle of effective stress, rock mechanics is becoming increasingly...

Effects of Vehicles on Buried, High-Pressure Pipe
The mechanical effects of selected types of traffic on buried, high-pressure steel pipe are examined. Particularly considered is a section of the Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) pipeline...

Comparing Flood Stage-Discharge Data?Be Careful!
A long term stage-discharge record is extremely valuable data. However, simplified applications of long term records to draw sweeping conclusions about man's effects should be avoided,...

Simulating Flow in the Tidal Potomac River
A one-dimensional unsteady flow model has been applied to the tidal Potomac River, including its major tributaries and marginal embayments, between Washington, D. C. and Indian Head, Md....

Real-Time Monitoring for Ohio Basin Water Management
The Ohio River Division (ORD) of the Corps of Engineers operates 77 reservoirs in this basin for the purposes of flood control, conservation, hydropower, low flow augmentation, water supply,...

Real-Time Monitoring and Flood Forecasting in Harris County, Texas
A new automated flood warning system is now serving the 2,700,000 residents of Houston, Harris County, Texas. Real-time rainfall and river level data from more than 90 sensors are automatically...

Real-Time Flood Forecasting on Small Computers
A real-time, rainfall-runoff, flood forecast model, developed by the Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), was applied to two of tributary basins in the Ohio River System....

Survey of Computer Use in Hydraulics and Hydrology
The surveyed population consists of the 58 member firms of the Consulting Engineers Council of Colorado practicing in the area of water resources. 90 percent of these firms use computers...

Application of Geographic Information System for Hydrologic Investigation
The Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources is developing a geographic information system (GIS) under the federally funded Lands Unsuitable for Mining Program (LUMP). This...

State Space Approach to Flood Stage Estimation
A flood routing and stage prediction model is developed using the techniques of State Space and Kalman filtering. The governing equation is the physically based hydrologic method of flood...

Computer-Based Predictions of Atchafalaya Bay Sedimentation
The Atchafalaya River, a distributary of the Mississippi River, discharges into Atchafalaya Bay through the Lower Atchafalaya River and Wax Lake Outlet. The bay delta has grown rapidly...

The Impact of the I-664 Bridge-Tunnel Crossing on Sedimentation
A sedimentation evaluation was made of the proposed I-664 Bridge-Tunnel complex across the James River, Virginia. This paper briefly describes the procedures used and the results obtained...

Open Channel Flowrate Measurement Using Multipath Acoustic Flowmeters
Recent acoustic flowmeter developments have improved the applicability and accuracy of the multipath acoustic measurement technique. Accuracy, hardware cost and calibration cost can be...

Levees at St. Louis?More Harm Than Good?
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District (SLD), conducted an evaluation into the effects of Federal flood control projects on St. Charles County. Questions to be addressed...
