Data Transforms on USGS Surface Water Records
Surface water records compiled and stored by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) on machine readable tape are transformed and analyzed by computer methods to enable visual inspection...
Real-Time Data Verification
Recent improvements in the real-time acquisition of hydro-meteorological data have raised concerns regarding the quality of the data received. Water users having practically instant access...
Program Monitoring by Database Management
Management of the water resources programs of the Army Corps of Engineers, with its 3 billion annual budget, 27,000 employees, and decentralized organizational structure, is obviously...
Microcomputer-Based Monthly Treatment Reporting
Massachusetts wastewater treatment plants must file monthly operating reports with the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control. A microcomputer-based monthly reporting system...
Real-Time Reservoir Operations by Quadratic Programming
A quadratic programming model is developed for real-time reservoir operations. It is assumed that convex penalty functions that relates the deviations of storage levels and downstream...
Integrated Operation of the Ottawa River System
Several years ago, an integrated operating process was developed in response to specific problems on the Ottawa River. The operating process involves several public-sector organizations...
User-Friendly Reservoir Routing on Minicomputers
Two models for routing reservoir releases and computing reservoir elevations for the TVA reservoir system are described. The models are designed for use on a 16-bit minicomputer with a...
Savannah River Basin Flood Management Decision Support
The Savannah District Army Corps of Engineers has constructed and now operates three multipurpose reservoirs on the Savannah River. Hartwell, the most upstream of the three projects, is...
Computerized Design and Selection of Pumping Systems
Three computer models have been applied in the evaluation, design and selection of a high-lift pump station upgrading program developed for the City of Poughkeepsie, New York. The three...
Integrated Design Methodology for Urban Stormwater Detention Facilities
The objective of this paper is to present the core of a design methodology that avoids the pitfalls of the design storm concept by using a microcomputer algorithm to estimate the long-term...
Storm Sewer Computer-Aided Design and Uncertainty
A micro-computer based storm drainage model is presented which facilitates urban storm sewer design on fast tracked construction projects. The model is an interactive Basic program using...
Computer Aided Design Using CORPS
The Hydraulic Analysis Division, Hydraulics Laboratory, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) has the responsibility for developing and disseminating hydraulic guidance for...
Great Lakes Water Diversion: Legal Issues
This article deals with state/provincial, regional, federal and international legal issues involved with protecting Great Lakes water. First, the article describes the institutions and...
Multi-Objective Planning: Great Lakes Water Policy Issues
This paper reports upon the development of computer algorithms for multi-objective planning for Great Lakes water policy issues. Sample applications are presented for the control of phosphorus...
Legal Constraints on the Transport of Water
Legal constraints on water transport are based on legitimate concerns for protecting the future interests of the area of origin, but such constraints sometimes appear overly restrictive...
Conceptual Framework for Regression Modeling of Ground-Water Flow
The author examines the uses of ground-water flow models and which classes of use require treatment of stochastic components. He then compares traditional and stochastic procedures for...
Prior Information in the Geostatistical Approach
An overview of recent work on the geostatistical approach to the inverse problem of groundwater modeling is presented. A method which allows utilization of prior information about the...
Forecasting Water Use: A Tutorial
In spite of 4,000 years of public water supply system construction, designs have been customarily based on forecasts of future water use only during the last 100 years. Choices among available...
Forecasting Demand for Urban Water
The purpose of this study is to assess current water use forecasting practice in the US Army Corps of Engineers and to recommend additional approaches which best satisfy current requirements....
Practical Water Demand Forecasting
The authors describe their experience in designing, building, and applying a water demand forecasting model for the Denver metropolitan area. In the presence of incomplete and sometimes...
