Impact of Grid Orientation on Groundwater Contaminant Transport Modeling Using the U.S.G.S. MOC Model
The U.S.G.S. method of characteristics (MOC) model was enhanced to include the input of measured contaminant concentrations, the calculation of computed and measured contaminant plume...

Testing a Method-of-Characteristics Model of Three-Dimensional Solute Transport in Ground Water
A new three-dimensional model of solute transport in groundwater that is based on a widely used two-dimensional method of characteristics model and is coupled to a modular finite-difference...

Optimization of a Municipal Ground Water Production System in North-Central Oklahoma
A management model is being developed to optimize the municipal groundwater production system which supplies drinking water for the City of Enid, Oklahoma. The system is comprised of one...

Conjunctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater Management
A mathematical model is presented for conjunctive management of connected surface and groundwater systems. The groundwater module is based on the linear, two-dimensional, horizontal flow...

Monthly Conjunctive Allocation of Water Resources for Eastern Arkansas
The objective is development and use of a conjunctive water resource model as part of a hierarchical approach. In this case, this program is developed to determine the monthly allocation...

An Energy Approach to the Analysis of Partially-Saturated Flow
When fluid passes into or out of an aquifer, work is done at the boundaries which is partly used to change the internal energy of the system and partly to overcome resistance to flow....

Improved HSPF Infiltration Calibration Procedure with a Linked GIS
A research project for the Florida Institute of Phosphate Research sought to develop an easy-to-apply integrated surface drainage model, HSPF, and groundwater model, MODFLOW, with a geographic...

Prediction Method of Concentration Distribution of Groundwater Pollutants Using a Field Monitoring Network System
A method based on the extended Kalman filter is developed to identify the parameters of a two-dimensional stochastic convective-dispersion differential equation and to predict in real-time...

Prematurely Terminated Slug Tests?A Field Application
Slug tests suffer problems of non-uniqueness to a greater extent than other well tests. Alternatively, a prematurely terminated slug test (PTST) or a systematized drillstem test is proposed,...

Effects of Solute Transport Processes on In-Situ Denitrification for Nitrate Control in Ground Water
This paper discusses the effects of solute transport mechanisms on the effectiveness of biodenitrification in the subsurface environment. The only solute transport processes apparently...

Groundwater Modeling with GIS: An Example
The versatility and widespread usage of a geographic information system (GIS) as a hydrological modeling tool is only now showing up in the literature. In this regard, a research team...

Application of Stable Channel Design Method
Systematic stable channel design methods are currently being developed by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station for use in the planning stages of local flood control projects....

Pump Station/Storage Opportunities for Urban Freeway Systems
This paper introduces the concept of utilizing underground storage to minimize both the initial cost and the long-term maintenance and operation costs of multiple pump stations for a freeway...

Optimizing Regional Detention Basins for Price Expressway
Stormwater runoff from the drainage area contributing to the Price-Santan Freeway is captured in regional detention basins which require a series of pump stations for evacuation. With...

Three-Dimensional Velocity Distribution at Open-Channel Diversions
A study is underway to develop an improved understanding of the 3-D flow pattern at 90? diversions. The main goal is to explain, via the velocity distribution, the behavior of sediment...

Local Resources in Developing Country Water Supplies
Maximizing the use of local resources in water supply projects can expand markets for locally produced equipment and materials, reduce exports and minimize expenditures of hard currency...

Hydrodynamic Modeling of Bolsa Chica, California, Proposed Wetland Enhancements
The California State Lands Commission (SLC) requested US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC), to conduct engineering studies for...

Management and Institutional Considerations in Selecting Appropriate Technologies in Water Supply and Sanitation
Rural water supply and sanitation systems in developing countries have had an unacceptably high rate of failure or reduced use. Development planners have not sufficiently considered the...

Appropriate Technology in Infrastructure Development and Management
Infrastructure management principles apply to appropriate technologies used for hydraulic structures. However, some of the principles are more culturally sensitive than others, mainly...

Education, Research and Training for Appropriate Technology
Much has been written about appropriate technology (AT) and how to accomplish it. This paper adds to that literature with specific ideas for education, training and research programs and...
