Owens Valley, California Basin Management to Meet Both Water Resources and Environmental Goals
The City of Los Angeles imports over 60 percent of its water supply from the Owens River Watershed as part of the resources used in serving 3. 5 million people. As part of this operation,...
Mangement Studies of Farmington Bay, Great Salt Lake
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate management options for the Farmington Bay area of the Great Salt Lake in terms of water quantity and quality. For the study, it was assumed...
A 2-D Model for the Guaiba Estuary (Brazil)
On the northeastern edge of the Guaiba is Porto Alegre, with more than 1 million inhabitants. A navigation channel through the Guaiba Estuary and the Patos Lagoon links the city to the...
Hydrodynamic Simulation of the Upper Potomac Estuary
Hydrodynamics of the upper extent of the Potomac Estuary between Indian Head and Morgantown, Md. , are simulated using a two-dimensional model. The model computes water-surface elevations...
Hydraulic Modeling for Ecological Research
Because of the problems and expenses of a continuous data collection program for large rivers, it was decided to develop an integrated hydrodynamic and biological model for the Illinois...
Water Quality and Hydrodynamics in a Shallow Lake
Hydrodynamics and water quality are closely coupled in a shallow lake via horizontal transport and sediment resuspension. The latter process is examined thru modeling and in situ field...
Organization Design of a Water Resources Institution
An overview of the field of organization design is presented along with a brief description of major macro-organization design theories. Utilizing this information, four water resources...
Review of Strategies for Strengthening Water Resources Management in Taiwan, Republic of China
The paper summarizes the review by the Council for Economic Planning and Development of the Executive Yuan (the administration branch of the Government) in 1982/4 on the water resources...
Assessment of Drought Restriction Needs in New Jersey
Due to insufficient rainfall and related runoff during the spring of 1985, the Passaic and Hackensack River Basins in northern New Jersey and related storage reservoirs therein were able...
The Water Problems on the Penghu Islands in Taiwan
The Phengu Archipelago in the Taiwan Straits is composed of Pleistocene basalt with the accumulation of coral reefs without any significantly mountainous terrain on any of the islands....
Effect of Baghdad City Sewage Treatment Effluents on Dissolved Oxygen Profiles of an Iraqi River
The paper presents measured dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles in an Iraqi river in the vicinity of Baghdad City. The effect of the effluent discharges from Baghdad Sewage Treatment Plant...
Integrated Wastewater and Sludge Treatment in a Tree Farm
A system which integrates land treatment of wastewater following primary sedimentation with tree production and sludge composting was evaluated for its land requirements, costs, and energy...
Math Modeling of Mixing Zones in River Systems
A numerical mixing zone model was developed utilizing an implicit finite difference method with a weighted numerical scheme. The model was based on the two-dimensional advection-dispersion...
Computer Aided Drafting in the Water Resources Environment
The movement from traditional mechanical drafting to computer aided drafting in the small consulting business/research environment while necessary from the viewpoint of productivity and...
Computer Aided River Basin Management in the Alps
The present paper outlines progress in developing river basin management potential through joint research on several Alpine River Systems including the Avisio, Brenta, and Cordevole. Applications...
