Norfolk Uses a GIS to Satisfy its Stormwater Management Information Needs
The key component of stormwater management is to obtain a good understanding of the data describing the system so that regulatory, maintenance, and capital decisions concerning the system...

Extending GIS Capabilities for Enhanced Sewer System Modeling
A limitation of many sewer system modeling programs is their inability to accept and display graphic data. By the same token, many GIS packages, which handle graphics, aren't...

Applications of GIS to Wastewater System Master Planning in Albuquerque
The City of Albuquerque Public Works Department provides wastewater collection and treatment services to a metropolitan area of over 550,000 people. In order to plan for needed wastewater...

A GIS Approach to Urban Water System Planning
Procedures for projecting future water needs have ignored the spatial distribution of consumers. However, with a GIS approach to water demand forecasting and supply planning the spatial...

How Water and Sewer Agencies Can Leverage Their Investment in AM/FM/GIS
Water and sewer agencies are constantly seeking ways to operate more efficiently, provide higher levels of service, and manage the risks associated with maintaining their infrastructure...

Building GIS Relationships Spatially and Politically
This paper advocates that the technological aspect of building a spatial GIS is not the critical factor for a successful multi-participant installation. Rather the political relationships...

Integration of SCADA and GIS Technologies in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana
Due to its physiographic setting in the delta region of the Mississippi River, a majority of the inhabited lands in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana are below local mean sea level and much...

Updating New York City's Sewer and Water Main Distribution Systems: Practical Applications of GIS

The City of Milwaukee's Department of Public Works is composed of eight operating Bureaus and a General Office and is responsible for maintaining the City's streets,...

GIS Infrastructure Management and Maintenance Applications of the Future
The use of computer technology has had a dramatic impact on the way we plan, design and manage municipal infrastructure networks. Low cost desktop computers and workstation technology...

Remote Sensing for Seismic Hazard Assessment of a Proposed Nuclear Power Station, North Wales, UK
During the seismic hazard assessment for a proposed nuclear power station in North Wales, UK, a remote sensing study was carried out in conjunction with other, wide-ranging geological...

Civil Engineering Applications of Remote Sensing London Docklands?A Case Study in Applied GIS
This paper addresses the role of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology in transforming the London Docklands from a run-down area of urban decline to a spectacular...

Establishing a Geographic Information System
The ultimate test of an advancement in civil engineering is the successful integration of aspects of the advance into the general engineering community. Success stories in this area include...

Municipal GIS Applications Utilizing Vector and Raster Software on Personal Computers
Confronted by increasingly tight budgetary constraints, combined with the expensive computer processing hardware typically required by a GIS, smaller engineering firms and local governments...

Integrating GIS and Civil Design
Genasys Inc. has traditionally specialized in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer Mapping. The Genamap product is the world leader in UNIX based GIS. Over the last five years...

Evaluating Computer Aided Support Systems for Infrastructure Management
Computers have invaded nearly every aspect of our lives. Management of our municipal infrastructure is no exception. Today more than ever, efficient, timely, informed management of our...

A Geographic Information System to Support State-Wide Hydrologic Modeling with the SCS-TR-20
A geographic information system (GIS) that is structured for hydrologic analyses has been installed in the Maryland State Highway Administration's (MSHA) Division of Bridge...

Runoff Modeling Using the Geomorphological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph and ARC/INFO Geographic Information System
The degree to which the spatial variability of watershed characteristics (geographical and climatological) is recognized for simulating watershed runoff depends on the hydrologic model...

Application of a Geographic Information System to Hydrologic Modeling Using HEC-1
A geographic information system (GIS) was used to derive areally-weighted hydrologic parameters for input to the HEC-1 hydrologic model for approximately 600 square miles of Pierce County,...

Automated Estimation of Hydrologic Parameters
