In mid-1990, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Bonneville Power Administration embarked on a Columbia River system operation review. Ten technical work...
Modeling DO-BOD Dynamics in Johor River Estuary, Malaysia, Due to Agro-Industrial Discharge
This paper presents a summary of a study on the dynamics of dissolved oxygen in a tidal reach of the Johor River due to the discharge of agro-industrial waste subject to freshwater flow...
Evaluation of Dissolved Oxygen and Nutrient Trends in the Houston Ship Channel from Historical Statewide Monitoring Data
Dissolved oxygen and selected nutrient trends in the Houston Ship Channels (Texas Water Commission (TWC) segments 1007, 1006 and 1005) during the period of 1969 through 1990 were evaluated...
A Comparison of Electromagnetic Survey Results and Groundwater Quality Samples at an Animal Waste Storage Pond
Animal waste storage ponds are widely used to store manure over winter until it can be surface applied to growing crops as a fertilizer. There is an increasing concern for groundwater...
Assessing the Quality of Citizen Volunteer Monitoring
Total-error profiles and quality control charts are presented as quantitative techniques to determine acceptability of methodology and analyses for volunteer water quality monitoring programs....
Distribution of Chlorophyll-a and Influence factors in Dapengao
The Present Paper majority describes the distribution and annual variational characteristics of the content of chlorophyll - a in the waters of Dapengao, Daya Bay of Guangdong Province....
Water Quality Modeling of Lower Green Bay
The impact upon water quality of the planned expansion of a confined disposal facility (CDF) located in lower Green Bay was studied using numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models....
How is the Water Quality Affected by Droughts?
The moving average method was applied to daily time series of water quality and flow data obtained from a stream gaging station affected by the 1988 drought in the midwest of the United...
Density Fluctuations and Use of the Krypton Hygrometer in Surface Flux Measurements
The magnitude of the of the Webb et al. (1980) density corrections on water vapor fluxes due to the flux of sensible heat is examined in terms of the Bowen ratio. The correction due to...
Performance of Prototype Aerating Weirs Downstream From TVA Hydropower Dams
TVA has constructed aerating weirs below certain of its hydropower dams to (1) increase tailwater dissolved oxygen (DO) content during generation, and (2) improve minimum flows between...
Observations of Artificial Destratification
Artificial destratification using bubble plumes is one means whereby low dissolved oxygen in the hypolimnion of lakes and reservoirs may be averted. Temperature and DO were measured at...
Chatuge Hydroproject Aerating Infuser Physical Model Study
The Tennessee Valley Authority is investigating the feasibility of a dual purpose reregulation and aeration weir to increase the dissolved oxygen in water releases and to provide continuous...
Modeling Vertical Stratification in the Pamlico River Estuary Using Modern Hydrodynamics
A modern hydrodynamic model is applied to the Pamlico River estuary. Good agreement was obtained between measured and predicted water elevations and salinity distributions during the one...
Controlling Nitrogen in Coastal Waters
Excess nitrogen in coastal waters is becoming a problem worldwide. Nutrients such as nitrogen come from sewage treatment plants, septic tanks, runoff from fertilizer and animal waste,...
In-situ Release of Solar Wind Gases from Lunar Soil
A concept is described which has the potential to perform the in-situ heating of the lunar regolith in order to release the solar wind gases. The poor thermal conductivity of the lunar...
