Channel Entrenchment Along the Post Creek Cutoff in Southern Illinois
The Post Creek Cutoff was constructed in 1915 by the Cache River Drainage Commission to divert flow from the Upper Cache River to the Ohio River. The construction of the cutoff reduced...
Features of Flow in Slurry-Thickening Ponds
The study reported was undertaken to investigate the physical processes which come into play in settling-pond slurry thickeners and causes their behavior to deviate from those included...
Effect of Conowingo Dam Releases on the Water Quality of the Lower Susquehanna River
A modeling study was performed to assess the effects of flow releases from Conowingo Dam on the water quality of Conowingo Pond and the Susquehanna River downstream of the dam. Reservoir...
Water-Quality Ponds ? Are They the Answer?
Water-quality 'wet' ponds have been proposed to treat storm water for the removal of phosphorous in streams tributary to Cherry Creek Reservoir, a major recreational...
The Alaskan Arctic Coast: Wetland or Desert?
Deserts can be defined by low precipitation and lack of water. The Alaskan Arctic coast receives approximately 18 cm (7 in. ) of precipitation annually and for 8 months of the year there...
Effects of Semi-Impoundment on Fish and Crustacean Nursery Use: Evaluation of a Solution
Semi-impoundment of the marsh is one of the primary 'solutions' currently recommended to combat coastal marsh erosion, and also to improve habitat for waterfowl,...
Massachusetts Marine Lakes Restoration Program (
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, Division of Water Pollution Control, administers the state's Clean Lakes and Great Ponds Program. The program,...
Embankment Over Fly Ash Pond at Portsmouth Power Station
The fly ash and bottom ash sediments from the Portsmouth Power Station in Portsmouth, Virginia were being sluiced into a 39 acre diked ash pond near the plant. The plant was about to convert...
Engineering a Corporate Statement
Frito-Lay National Headquarters, Plano, Tex., occupies a 218 acre site in a corporate office park that had been a cow pasture. It was unusual in having mature trees and a natural watercourse...
Solar Ponds for Power and Water Quality Control
The status is provided on a solar pond test project in which the Bureau of Reclamation is involved in a cooperative effort with UTEP (The University of Texas at El Paso), Bruce Foods Corporation,...
Run-of-River Controller for Hydro Plants
New York State Electric and Gas Corporation has installed programmable run-of-river (ROR) controllers at five of their plants. Each of these plants has either two or three units with installed...
Stochastic Design of Wastewater Storage Ponds
The authors combine the principle of mass conservation with basic ideas from probability theory and then apply Monte Carlo simulation techniques to develop a family of design charts called...
An Optimization Approach for Locating Sediment Ponds in Stripmined Areas
In this study, a mathematical model which can predict erosion from a watershed and incorporated into an optimization model has been investigated. The Erosion-Deposition Model (EDM), which...
Chlorination of Wastewater Treated by Overland Flow
Results are presented from an investigation of the efficiency of three chlorination schemes used for the disinfection of municipal wastewater treated by overland flow. In experimental...
Geothermal Salt Recovery From Evaporating Ponds
The water from geothermal reservoir 'Los Azufres' in Michoacan, Mexico, is characterized by its high content of chloride, silica, borum and arsenic. Due to the...
Analysis of a Coastal Embayment: Holly Pond, Connecticut
A project to restore the quality of a degraded embayment was initiated as a result of public demands, available grant funding and an ability to obtain a broad range of professional assistance...
Application of Water Budget to Seepage Loss Estimation
The seepage loss for the emergency cooling water spray pond has been calculated by performing a water balance study for the pond. A field test of the spray pond was performed to estimate...
Simulation of Evaporation Ponds for Liquid Waste Disposal
A computer model for designing and simulation of evaporation ponds is developed. It is based on the principle of mass conservation for water, for the total dissolved solids (TDS), and...
Make-up and Blowdown of a Cooling Pond
A mathematical model was developed to simulate the operation of a recirculating cooling pond for a planned nuclear power plant in the Midwest. The objective of the pond operation is to...
Experimental Study of Stratified Cooling Ponds
Experiments in a laboratory physical model were conducted to analyze the hydrothermal performance of vertically stratified cooling ponds. Temperature, velocity, and fluorescent dye measurements...
