Great Lakes Water Diversion: Legal Issues
This article deals with state/provincial, regional, federal and international legal issues involved with protecting Great Lakes water. First, the article describes the institutions and...

Multi-Objective Planning: Great Lakes Water Policy Issues
This paper reports upon the development of computer algorithms for multi-objective planning for Great Lakes water policy issues. Sample applications are presented for the control of phosphorus...

Legal Constraints on the Transport of Water
Legal constraints on water transport are based on legitimate concerns for protecting the future interests of the area of origin, but such constraints sometimes appear overly restrictive...

Conceptual Framework for Regression Modeling of Ground-Water Flow
The author examines the uses of ground-water flow models and which classes of use require treatment of stochastic components. He then compares traditional and stochastic procedures for...

Prior Information in the Geostatistical Approach
An overview of recent work on the geostatistical approach to the inverse problem of groundwater modeling is presented. A method which allows utilization of prior information about the...

Optimization of Flood Control Projects
Project optimization analysis techniques have become indispensable tools for the design, management, and administration of flood control improvements. The increasing complexity of engineering...

Computer Usage in Obtaining Alternate Optimal Solutions for Water Resources Optimization Problems
In this paper, alternate optimal solutions of a few example linear programming problems are obtained by using a computer routine developed for the purpose. The routine is capable of generating...

Optimization in Water Resources Planning

Solving a State Environmental Agency Computer Maze
This discussion relates the experiences of a state environmental agency in addressing a decade of inadequate attention to the importance of computers and automated data processing to the...

The ADP Problems of a River Basin Commission
The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is an independent governmental agency that recently acquired its first in-house minicomputer system. The staff usage of this system has created two...

Groundwater Modelling
The numerical simulation of groundwater flow and transport has evolved from a technical curiosity to an established method of hydrological analysis. In this brief review the progress that...

Utilization of Numerical Models in Groundwater
For many years numerical models have been used in groundwater hydrology. In a recent assessment of the availabilty and use of models, a number of problem areas were identified. Some of...

Risk Assessment for Groundwater Contamination: I
This paper constitutes Part I of a two-part article. Both parts focus on the risk assessment and management process in terms of the ever-present problem of groundwater contamination and...

Risk Assessment for Groundwater Contamination: II
This paper constitutes Part II of a two-part article. Both parts focus on the risk assessment and management process in terms of the ever-present problem of groundwater contamination and...

Micro-Computer Water Develoment Screening Models
A micro-computer screening model was developed to analyze the physical and economic efficiencies of a large number of alternative options associated with a given water development project....

Large Scale Water Resources Systems Planning-Approach and Case Study
Planning approach for large scale water resource systems planning backed by models has been developed. Four hierarchial stages are identified and mulitlevel multiobjective models have...

The Water Resources Models of the Instream Flow Group
The Instream Flow Group of the US Fish and Wildlife Service has five analytical systems designed to assist in the development of instream flow criteria for water resources projects. Models...

Personnel Policies for Operations Management in the Computer Age
The human factor is an essential ingredient and the key element in successful computer applications for water resources or any other field. Engineers in general, and engineering managers...

Digital Simulation of Flows in Hawaiian Soils
In attempting to numerically solve the nonlinear equation for flows in porous media, the Galerkin process, which bears a great similarity to direct methods of the calculus of variations,...

Setup and Usage of Multitasking Microcomputers for Water Management Problem Solving
