Application of the ASPEN System for Simulation of the Detroit Waste Water Treatment Plant
The objective of this study is to simulate the Detroit Wastewater Treatment Plant (DWWTP) using the Advanced System for Process Engineering (ASPEN). The primary treatment facility has...

Global Risk Assessment: A Naive Look at Initiating Processes
Global risk assessment is finding those initiating processes which may cause harm to Earth systems (and ultimately the human species), their probability of occurrence, and the level of...

Hazardous Waste Impacts on the Highway Planning and Property Acquisition Process
Since the advent of increased public awareness concerning hazardous waste and the enactment of statutes governing these wastes, hazardous waste has become an important component impacting...

Peat Filtration for Oil Removal
An investigation was carried out to assess the potential of horticultural peat produced in Saskatchewan as a filter medium in treating five oil-in-water emulsions (standard mineral oil,...

Effect of Concentration on the Biological Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons Associated with In Situ Soil-Water Treatment
Sandy soil samples contaminated with weathered JP-5 jet fuel were mixed with uncontaminated sand to provide a concentration gradient from 187 to 1565 mg total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH)/Kg...

Biological Treatment of PAHs in Soil Residues in Simulated Land Treatment Systems
The lower molecular weight compounds (2 and 3 ring PAHs) are readily degraded by microorganisms. The heavier molecular weight PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) compounds (4, 5 and...

Generation of Compromise Alternatives Between Maximum Benefits and Maximum Acceptance
This paper proposes a procedure to generate a set of compromise alternative solutions between maximization of benefits and maximization of acceptance. A small set of near optimal strategies,...

Computer Automated Hydrologic Data Acquisition
A computer automated hydrologic data acquisition system has been developed to support field monitoring of rainfall, streamflow, groundwater and conductivity. The basic system involves...

Savannah River Basin Drought Contingency Planning
Beginning in 1986, and continuing through the present time, the worst drought in recent history created severe water shortage conditions over extensive areas of the southeastern United...

Development of the Hydrology Criteria Manual for Harris County, Texas
The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) was created in 1937 with the primary objectives of reducing potential damages from flooding in the Harris County area and of providing...

Perspectives on Irrigation/Drainage Education and Training
The Task Committee on Water Resources Education and Training (TCWRE) was organized in 1985 for the purpose of conducting an opinion survey to assess the adequacy of current education and...

Potential Non-Traffic Benefits from a New Highway
The State of Delaware is now in the design/build phase of a major north-south relief highway. Expedient action included an Environmental Impact Statement adequate to show that the project...

Computer Control of Water Systems: Practical Considerations
Presented are some applications projects and procedures concerned with modeling and control of water supply and distribution systems. The work has resulted in the development of a suite...

Computer Support for TVA's Reservoir System Operations: Hardware
The current computer systems in use at TVA for hydrologic data collection and modeling are approaching ten years old. A study is in progress to determine the computer systems needed to...

Computer Support For TVA's Reservoir System Operations: Software
In the early 1980's, the Tennessee Valley Authority implemented its Water Resources Management Information (WATREMAIN) system to provide support for operation of its integrated multipurpose...

Development of the Hydro Optimization Management System at Alabama Power Company
Alabama Power Company is an electric utility serving most of Alabama with a generation mix of 65% coal, 18% nuclear, and 17% hydro. A total of 1682 MW hydro generation comes from 14 plants...

OMADSS?Operations and Maintenance Advanced Decision Support System
This paper presents a summary of the development of a prototype advanced decision-support system for operation and maintenance of dams and irrigation facilities. To set the development...

Multi-Purpose, Multi-Reservoir Simulation on a PC
The methodology and difficulties in converting a large, general purpose, mainframe, batch oriented computer program (for reservoir simulation) to work effectively in the PC environment...

An Emerging Application of Microcomputers in Water Control
Plans being developed at the Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center propose a gradual transfer of water control support from minicomputers to a network of microcomputer workstations....

Role of Data Management in Water Control
The success of a system of software that must provide the water control user with current information, model analysis results, and forecasts of future behavior, is closely associated with...
