Stormwater Routing for Small Sites
Traditional hydrologic analyses and detention design procedures are too time consuming and costly to be warranted for small projects. This paper discusses a direct solution for sizing...
Microcomputers in Highway Drainage Design
This paper discusses some of the benefits and uses of microcomputers in highway drainage design and discusses the programs presently being developed. Subjects covered include hydrologic...
Floodplain Modeling for the Henry Street Basin
A study focusing on the primary conveyance system in the 5. 7 mi**2 Henry Street Drainage Basin in Hillsborough County, Florida was conducted to develop remedial measures for the control...
Estimating Peak Flow Reduction in Small Reservoirs
A microcomputer program is used to provide a simple and rapid estimate of the peak outflow from such reservoirs. Peak flow values, determined by flood frequency analysis or regional flood...
Comparing Flood Stage-Discharge Data?Be Careful!
A long term stage-discharge record is extremely valuable data. However, simplified applications of long term records to draw sweeping conclusions about man's effects should be avoided,...
Predicting Overland Flow and Infiltration
The kinematic overland flow and the Green-Ampt infiltration equations are coupled and rewritten in terms of several nondimensional parameters. Constant values of these parameters imply...
Designing for Residual Flooding
Flood control projects should incorporate designs and responses for flooding of the protected areas due to exceedance, overtopping, or failure of the features. Design strategies for levees,...
Computerized Information for Selecting Protected Streamflow
For developing criteria for protected flow (the flow below which water withdrawals for offstream uses are not permitted) for streams in a relatively hydrologically homogeneous region,...
Vertical Transport of Fine-Grained Sediments in Suspensions
Numerical-model sensitivity studies were made to determine the effect of bed flux on the vertical distribution of fine-grained material suspended in turbulent flow. The transport equation...
Prediction of Fine Sedimentation in Small Marinas
Shoaling due to fine, cohesive sediment deposition in small marina-type basins is governed by basin geometry, hydrodynamic factors and sediment load in outside waters. An easily programmable...
Simulation of Marsh Growth Under Rising Sea Levels
A method for computation of the rise of a marsh surface is presented that includes the effects of tidal and sea level variations, aggregation and deposition of cohesive suspended sediments,...
Aggregation and Consolidation of Phosphatic Clays
The consolidation behavior of aggregated phosphatic clays has been investigated using a bench scale centrifuge. It was determined that aggregation of the clays with phosphogypsum, a waste...
A Two-Dimensional Numerical Model of Thermal Discharges in Coastal Regions
This paper describes a two-dimensional numerical model of thermal discharges in coastal regions. The model uses potential flow theory to calculate the ambient velocity field of the coastal...
Computational Model for Computing Dune Erosion
This paper summarizes the development of a computer model for determining potential beach and dune erosion along the Florida Panhandle. The results have been used as a guide in delineating...
Simulating Flow in the Tidal Potomac River
A one-dimensional unsteady flow model has been applied to the tidal Potomac River, including its major tributaries and marginal embayments, between Washington, D. C. and Indian Head, Md....
Canal Discharge Impacts on Fahka Union Bay
The effect of a large drainage canal's discharge on Fahka Union Bay's value as a nursery ground for estuarine-dependent fish and shellfish, including commercially...
Tidal Flooding Study for a Seattle Watershed
The paper reports on a study to develop a correlation between rainfall volumes and tidal storm surges based on recorded rainfall and tide data. This correlation was used to establish tidal...
Real-Time Monitoring for Ohio Basin Water Management
The Ohio River Division (ORD) of the Corps of Engineers operates 77 reservoirs in this basin for the purposes of flood control, conservation, hydropower, low flow augmentation, water supply,...
Real-Time Monitoring and Flood Forecasting in Harris County, Texas
A new automated flood warning system is now serving the 2,700,000 residents of Houston, Harris County, Texas. Real-time rainfall and river level data from more than 90 sensors are automatically...
Geostationary operational environmental satellites (GOES) Data Collection Procedure?Ft. Worth District
The Fort Worth District Corps of Engineers is currently responsible for the daily operation of 22 federally owned reservoirs in Texas. This report describes this district's experience...
