Development of an Optimal Strategy for Storm Sewer Infrastructure Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of the nation's infrastructure will require a significant expenditure of public funds in the near future. Efficient management of these funds will require tools...
Water Distribution Infrastructure Analysis
Water distribution systems in many older cities of the United States need rehabilitation. Because the rehabilitation costs of the nation's water systems will involve billions...
Field Investigation for Leachate Flow in a Landfill
Field investigation for leachate flow was done for the Fresh Kills landfill at Staten Island, New York. The leachate monitoring program included data collection from the field for a six...
Statistical Analysis of Ground Water Quality Data
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires owners and operators of hazardous waste facilities to utilize design features and control measures that prevent the release of...
Management of Subsidence in an Urban Environment
Houston, Texas is the fourth largest city in the United States and with its metropolitan area included, comprises a population of almost four million people. Large quantities of groundwater...
Ground Water Management in the Memphis, Tennessee Urban Area
In 1887, the first known water well was placed in the aquifer which presently supplies almost 100% of the water used by the Memphis Urban Area (MUA). Since that time, the MUA has developed...
Case Studies on the Use of Semi-Standalone Control Loops for the Management of Regional Public Water Supply
The West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority is charged with the operation and management of the public water supply that serves over 1 million people in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida....
Computer Modeling as a Tool for Selecting Appropriate Air Valves for Pipeline Surge Protection
Waterhammer in water or wastewater pipelines is caused by events such as a pump power failure and can have potentially damaging effects on the pipeline or pipeline hardware. In particular,...
A Comparison of Two Large Scale NLP Strategies for Determining Optimal Pump Station Controls
To solve the general nonlinear problem which is not simplified using the uniform spatial demand patterns, a two-level hierarchial scheme has been identified. The purpose of this decomposition...
A Logical Variable Approach to Water Supply Reliability
The calculation of the reliability that water will be available at a demand point in a distribution network is complicated by the redundancy of paths from the source to the point. The...
Stormwater Management Policies for Two Urbanizing Communities in Western Suburban Cleveland
The cities of North Ridgeville and Avon Lake, Ohio are two western suburbs of Cleveland. The recent completion of the interstate highway, I-480, the resurgence of Lake Erie as a prime...
