Effects of Artificial Recharge on Ground-Water Quality, Long Island, New York
Artificial-recharge experiments were conducted at East Meadow in central Nassau County, Long Island, N. Y. , from October 1982 through January 1984, to evaluate the degree of ground-water...
A Proposed Desilting Reservoir System in Taiwan
The paper discusses the design of a desilting system for Nanhwa reservoir, in which the reservoir is divided into two bays; water flows into the forebay for sedimentation and then over...
Routing Comparisons in Natural and Geometric Channels
A method of establishing composite geometric cross section shapes hydraulically similar to natural cross sections with flood plains is proposed. The method is based on the nondimensionalized...
Toe Drain System?Barr and Milton Reservoirs, CO
The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and construction of toe drains in difficult soil conditions for two 70 plus year old dams in Colorado using a unique toe drain installation...
Design and Construction of TCE/PCE Removal Facilities
This paper presents a review of the design and construction of a facility in Arcadia, California, to remove trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachlorethylene (PCE) from groundwater. The City...
Groundwater Quality Monitoring in the New York Metropolitan Area: Statistical Alternatives
The need for development of groundwater monitoring strategies for the New York metropolitan area with emphasis on statistical analysis has been investigated in this study. Statistical...
Water Management of the Tenn-Tom Water
In December 1984 the final segments of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway were completed. The Waterway connects the Tennessee River to the Gulf of Mexico at the City of Mobile. The total...
Sedimentation Problems of the California Aqueduct
The California Aqueduct crosses the alluvial fans of many intermittent streams on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. At two sites where watershed sediment yields were underestimated,...
Sedimentation Processes in Hydrosystems, Numerical-Empirical Modeling
This paper presents the results of a newly developed computer simulation model for studying the sedimentation processes in a variety of hydrosystems. The most effective numerical methodology...
Sedimentation in the All-American Canal
During the planning for the All-American Canal, by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Boulder Canyon Project, works were designed at the head of the canal to remove between...
Emergency Flood Management, Salt Lake City, Utah
This paper discusses Salt Lake City's response to the floods of 1983 and 1984. Peaks during these years were very high with historic records being set in both years. Management...
Uncertainties in Groundwater Transport Modeling
Using synthetic data from a hypothetical aquifer, the effects of data availability and data uncertainty were studied by the combined use of a parameter identification (PI) algorithm and...
Estimation and Inference in the Inverse Problem
The estimation of groundwater flow and mass transport parameters is approached via maximum likelihood. Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests as well as the asymptotic properties of...
Mixed Solute Interactions in Groundwater Systems
Research results are presented from a study examining the competitive sorption effects of two organic chemicals, para-dichlorobenzene and 2,4-dichlorophenol, to solids from the Cohansey...
Air-Water Oxygen Transfer at Spillways and Hydraulic Jumps
Dissolved oxygen measurements are reported for seven spillway structures in the vicinity of Minneapolis, Minnesota, corresponding to 27 individual surveys. The surveys are taken during...
Gas Transfer and Secondary Currents in Open Channels
Laboratory flume experiments on water-wide controlled gas transfer, such as reaeration, are described. The experiments indicate that gas transfer is a surface renewal process, well described...
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...
Water Erosion from Irrigation?An Overview
Erosion and sedimentation by water includes the process of detachment, movement, and deposition of soil particles (14). Under irrigated conditions, the erosive process is water flowing...
Reservoir System Simulation Through Network Flow Programming
A generalized reservoir system simulation model that makes use of a network flow programming technique has been developed for use in planning and operation studies of multi-purpose water...
Effects of Irrigated Agriculture on Groundwater Quality in the Corn Belt and Lake States
Irrigation of croplands has the potential to increase the rates at which water soluble substances are leached from soil into underlying aquifers. This paper evaluates the impact of irrigated...
