A Quantitative Assessment of Surface Water Resources for Coal Slurry Pipelines Originating in Southwest Virginia
In view of the high streamflow variability, preliminary quantitative assessment was made of the capacity requirements and low-flow frequency characteristics of offstream reservoirs needed...
Artificially Varied Flow: River System Management
Some of the major water quality problems are heat, color, organic sediment, and total dissolved solids. To dilute these and other pollutants, substantial augmentation of flows for water...
Field Flow Measurement of Hydro-Turbine Efficiency
Performance tests were conducted at Great Northern Paper (GNP) Company's Weldon Hydroelectric Station. The purpose of the tests was to calibrate the Winter-Kennedy taps and...
Power from a Water Supply System: A Resource Which Can Be Tapped
There are numerous water supply systems from which hydroelectric power could be developed without impending the regular operational schedule. The basic principle of operation is not different...

Hydraulic Research--U.S. Geological Survey
Research at the Gulf Coast Hydroscience Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is being conducted in an indoor laboratory, and an outdoor laboratory. Much of the current indoor lab research...
Modeling Pool and Riffle Sequences in Alluvial Channels
A one-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to predict the hydraulic characteristics of alluvial channels under low flow conditions. For a given steady discharge, channel geometry,...
Kinematic Shock: A Sensitivity Analysis
A series of numerical experiments is performed to determine the flow and channel characteristics that are most conducive to kinematic wave steepening and associated shock phenomena. A...
Design and Operation of Pipeline Control Systems
More and more of the time of the engineer involved in the design and construction of a pipeline project is devoted to problems relating to the control systems to operate and monitor the...
Electronic Traffic Management
High technology has entered the world of traffic and transportation management with such new optical and electronic devices as transponders, retro-reflective stickers, microprocessors,...
The Third Wave in Water Quality Management
In the 1970's there was great pressure to clean up water-polluting discharges no matter what the cost. Now in the tight-budget 1980s, there is a vigorous search for more cost-effective...
Recent Advances in Engineering Mechanics and Their Impact on Civil Engineering Practice
The emphasis of these proceedings is on contributions and advances in the areas of solid and fluid mechanics that advance civil engineering practice. The main topic considered are, computers...
Urban Hydrology and Catchment Research in the United Kingdom - Progress Since 1979
The Wallingford Procedure for the design and analysis of urban drainage systems was released in late 1981 for use by drainage engineers in the United Kingdom. This was the most significant...
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
The Journal of Hydraulic Engineering accepts original contributions that describe the analysis and solutions of problems in hydraulic engineering. Technical Notes may present a problem, without solution,...
Classic Papers in Hydraulics
Fourteen papers representing basic contributions which made possible rapid advances in analytical techniques in hydraulic engineering are presented. The papers reflect state-of-the-art-...
San Francisco Convention Center Goes Underground
The Moscone Convention Center, built at a construction cost of �126 million, opened its doors to an admiring public on December 2, 1981. The Center's grand exhibit hall, 90...
Underground Plastic Pipe
Thirty-nine of the papers presented at the 1981 International Conference on Underground Plastic Pipe are included. The types of pipes examined include: thermoplastics, thermosetting plastic...
Dike Safety Upgraded with Millions of Square Feet of Fabric
Nonwoven fabrics of two different weights were used in an $80 million dike reconstruction project in southern Florida. Florida Power & Light Company rebuilt the embankment to a...
