Application of the Newton Method in Valve Discharge Coefficient Relationships
This paper presents a methodology that utilizes the Newton Method to compute the dimensionless valve discharge coefficient Cd from a manufacturers valve discharge coefficient Cv. The implicit...
Rethinking Well Efficiency
Many authors have suggested ways to evaluate water well efficiency. Most of these have either compared some form of measured drawdown with theoretical drawdown or measured the fraction...

The need to protect groundwater supplies from sources of contamination is of particular relevance to densely populated urban areas, such as Dade County (Greater Miami), in South Florida....
Wellhead Protection: Local and Community Efforts
The need to protect groundwater supplies from sources of contamination is of particular relevance to densely populated urban areas, such as Dade County (Greater Miami), in South Florida....
Liability of Engineers When Wetlands Laws Change
Engineers who perform wetlands delineations or design facilities in wetlands areas are increasingly sued in court when wetlands laws or regulations change. Owners and developers whose...
How Did a California Dam Get a Section 404 Permit?
This paper describes the wetland mitigation planning and implementation efforts conducted for the Contra Costa Water Districts (CCWDs) Los Vaqueros Project in eastern Contra Costa County,...
Mitigation Wetland Losses for a Major Transportation Improvement Project in New Hampshire
To compensate for 103 acres of wetland impact from a 17.6-mile upgrade of NH Route 101 between Epping and Hampton, New Hampshire, NH Department of Transportation (NHI)OT) and Normandeau...
Significance of Geologic Features on the Contaminant Migration from Landfill Sites
Contaminants (leachate) migration pathways in various media at hazardous waste and landfill sites are primarily defined by the local geologic features at such sites, namely:stratigraphy,...
Conveyance of Water and Wastewater Residuals
The treatment of water and wastewater results in the production of significant quantities of residual suspended solids which must be further processed prior to discharge/disposal. Invariable,...
Automatic Control of Flocculation Processes
A control system for flocculation, used in water and wastewater treatment operations is being developed. The approach is based on detailed particle size distribution measurements of influent...
Evaluation of Nitrate Treatment Methods Under Uncertainty
