El Paso vs New Mexico, Ground Water or Other Options
The City of El Paso proposed to drill numerous water wells near the Texas-New Mexico and Mexico-New Mexico borders to supplement their water supply during the years 2000-2020 and thereafter....
Owens Valley, California Basin Management to Meet Both Water Resources and Environmental Goals
The City of Los Angeles imports over 60 percent of its water supply from the Owens River Watershed as part of the resources used in serving 3. 5 million people. As part of this operation,...
Mangement Studies of Farmington Bay, Great Salt Lake
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate management options for the Farmington Bay area of the Great Salt Lake in terms of water quantity and quality. For the study, it was assumed...
The Water Problems on the Penghu Islands in Taiwan
The Phengu Archipelago in the Taiwan Straits is composed of Pleistocene basalt with the accumulation of coral reefs without any significantly mountainous terrain on any of the islands....
Water System Reliability?Balance of Cost and Risk
Reliability of water distribution systems to perform adequately during stress situations is dependent both on operation/maintenance preparedness as well as the limitations of the physical...
Grand Canyon Water Line by Directional Drilling
The South Rim Village at Grand Canyon National Park obtains its water supply from a point called Roaring Springs which is located approximately 15 miles across the Canyon on the North...
Effects of Agriculture on Ground-Water Quality in Dade County, Florida
Multidepth wells at five test fields and a monitoring network of water-table wells in Dade County, Florida, were sampled twice during 1985 to determine concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus,...
Ground Water Strategy in California
There is great debate over when and how much new water California needs. Yet of the backbone supply, wells that could serve over 1 million people have been either removed from use or blended...
The Role of Local Government in Water Quality Management
To meet the challenge of providing safe drinking water at a reasonable cost, local governments, together with water utilities, must do more than merely fund the implementation of state...
What About the Point-of-Use?
Point-of-use (POU) granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment devices are being installed more frequently on community water sytems and on private wells. This article describes carbon filter...
Conjunctive Water Use Planning
The phase 'conjunctive use' refers to the integrated management of various water resources within a river basin or other geographic region. The objectives of...
A New Dam in California?Piece-of-Cake!
It initially appeared that a series of insurmountable roadblocks would prevent the City of Morro Bay from constructing a new dam and water supply reservoir on San Bernardo Creek near the...
Evaluation of PCP/Oil Spill on CFT Indian Reservation Near Nespelem, Washington
This paper presents the immediate action taken, the field work performed, and the engineering analysis performed in response to a spillage of a solution of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and...
Policy Screening Models for Water Supply Operation
It is possible to characterize the real time, short term operation of a metropolitan water supply system - including the surface and groundwater sources, treatment and pumping facilities,...
Flow and Sediment Transport in Curved Channels with Nonuniform Bed Material
Described is a scheme for controlling the exchange of grain sizes between bed and bed load in a curved alluvial channel. The scheme is an integral part of a model for simulating spatial...
Taming a Pipe Network Analysis Computer Program
The use of a conventional network analysis computer program as an effective evaluation tool for routine operation of an existing water distribution system has several practical limitations...
Automated Control for Central Arizona Project Distribution Systems
Computer based automatic control for three extensive open channel water distribution systems is described. Radio telemetry allows a central computer to execute control logic at individual...
Geohydrologic Considerations in Ground Water Modeling
Ground water modeling is an effective engineering and management tool for evaluating complex hydrogeologic situations in a cost effective manner. Objectives of a particular study dictate...
Monitoring Groundwater Quality in the Southwest
