A Ground Water Modeling Effort to Simulate the Results of An Aquifer Restoration Scheme
A ground water model using the IBM PC version of the USGS MODFLOW code was constructed to simulate the ground water flow beneath an industrial site in the central Midwest. A detailed three-dimensional...

Computerized Bridge Coding for HEC-2 Applications on I.B.M. P.C.
A computer program for conversion of survey field notes directly into SB, BT, and GR cards with simultaneous cross-section plot is described. It was designed to simplify the coding of...

An Investigation into Causes of Bank Caving
A series of investigations into bank caving along the Ohio River are described. These investigations include a study of the distribution of precipitation in the study region, derivation...

Administration of Water in the 21st Century in Accordance with the Appropriation Doctrine
In accordance with the appropriation doctrine it appears straightforward to distribute water during below-average supply, 'first in time of use, first in right of use'....

GWPATH: Ground-Water Flow Path Analysis
GWPATH is an interactive software package for estimating horizontal fluid pathlines and travel time in fully saturated groundwater flow domains. GWPATH was developed for the IBM PC-AT...

A Vectorized Polynomial Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Solver Package for the USGS 3-D Ground-Water Model
A vectorized polynomial preconditioned conjugate gradient (PPCG) numerical algorithm is presented as an additional solver package interfaced with the Modular Three-Dimensional Finite Difference...

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Results From Stege Sanitary District
Seven sewer agencies, including Stege Sanitary District, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area embarked on a 20-year capital improvement program in 1987. The 300 million construction...

Traffic Jams on Main Street
Traffic congestion in suburban areas has become a leading public concern prompting a renewed search for transportation and land use strategies to help relieve congestion. Causes of traffic...

Accommodation of Trucks on the Highway
Safety in Design
This book contains the papers presented at the symposium on accommodation of trucks on highways held in Nashville, Tenn., May 11, 1988. The papers address highway factors that contribute...

Simple Furrow Advance Ratio Evaluation Technique for Upgrading Management
A simple procedure using the Advance Ratio (AR) is presented. It utilizes on-farm gathered information of advance time, water application time, and depth applied for furrow irrigated field....

Evaluation of Infiltration Equations Used in Surface Irrigation
Computer simulations of an irrigation event were conducted using 6 full hydrodynamic models. All 6 models used the same surface flow equations and a different infiltration component. The...

Hydraulic Studies of Surface Drainage from Level Furrows
Field studies have been completed to quantify the surface drainage phenomenon from level furrows which were rapidly flooded and then drained from the inlet end of the furrow. The proportion...

Furrow Irrigation Performance Using Real Time Control
Computer simulations were conducted, using a simple feedback control algorithm, to determine the potential for improvement of irrigation performance using real-time feedback control. Field...

Surface Water-Groundwater Relations for Open Channels
For losing channels with clean wetted perimeters (no clogging layers), the seepage rate varies essentially linearly with depth to groundwater if the groundwater is relatively shallow,...

Simulation of Contaminant Transport Using NMOL Technique
In this paper, a new numerical method, called Numerical Method of Lines (NMOL), is used to solve initial-boundary value problems for solute transport in soils. The simulation results are...

Proposed Improvements in Lateral Canal Operations
Uniform and flexible supplies of irrigation water are required for farmers to make the best use of their on-farm application systems. Results of a study of deliveries at the lateral canal...

Random Characteristics of Sediment-Laden Flows and the Techniques of Effective Sediment Exclusion on Dujiangyan Irrigation Project in China
The irrigation system is over 2,200 years old and discharges water at a rate of 340-740 m³/s from the Minjiang River. The average slope of the river...

Ultrasonic Flow Meter Testing
Six ultrasonic flow meters were tested in a hydraulics laboratory. Accuracies better than 2% were obtained with two transit-time meters on 14 inch diameter steel tubing. Poorer accuracies...

Visual Estimates of Flume and Weir Operating Conditions
Laboratory studies were conducted on a rectangular broad-crested weir to determine the effects of entrance and exit conditions on the prediction of discharge and required energy loss....

Achieving Accurate Irrigation Water Measurements with Propeller Meters
Propeller meters are now being used extensively to help quantify and manage the huge but poorly distributed water supplies available to irrigated agriculture in the western states. Careful...
