Models for Optimal Maintenance of Hydraulic Structures
Corrective maintenance includes the unscheduled repairs required to return a structure from a failed state to an operating or available state. Corrective maintenance is determined by the...

An Analysis of the Impact of Weather Variation on Monthly Water Demand
A methodology is utilized to analyze and model the impact of weather variation on monthly long distance water deliveries in Southern California. Monthly water demand is viewed as a combination...

The Multi-Watfore Method: A Water Demand Forecasting System
The multi-Watfore method, which combines the cascade model and a first order analysis of uncertainty, is a system of practical steps to develop models of water demand while generating...

A Water Pricing Model for Lake Texana
Faced with water sales and recreation revenues insufficient to service the project debt, the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority (L-NRA), operators of Lake Texana, decided upon a novel approach...

Optimal Real-Time Operation of Te-Chi Reservoir
An optimization model for the 10-day operation of Te-Chi Reservoir in central Taiwan is developed. The inflow to the reservoir is forecasted by an ARX model with a Kalman Filter updating...

Simulation of a Surface Water Allocation System
This paper outlines the water rights system in Texas and a newly developed computer simulation program for modeling this system. In addition, an overview of a river basin simulation using...

History of Geographic Information Systems, with Applications in Water Resources Planning and Management
Elements of computerized spatial analysis have been used in water resources since the mid '60s, and sophisticated and complex systems incorporating geographic information...

GIS In Water Resources in the Year 2000
This paper presents a look at what the geographic information system (GIS) technology, as applied to water resources, may look like in the year 2000. It presents a description of what...

Meta-Site: Water Distribution System Analysis Software
Many local municipalities now require a network analysis for all proposed additions to their water distribution systems. A graphically oriented, user-friendly program is being developed...

On Obtaining Best Compromise Solutions for Municipal Water Use
Approaches to determine the 'best' use of available resources, including reuse of treated effluent streams have frequently relied on optimization techniques which...

Possum Kingdom Lake: The Impact of Releases for Fish and Wildlife
Possum Kingdom Lake is a 570,000 acre-foot reservoir on the Brazos River in Palo Pinto County, Texas, owned and operated by the Brazos River Authority (BRA). In 1985 the BRA applied to...

Minimizing the Risk of Unsuccessful Modeling Exercises
Monte Carlo simulation techniques were employed to relate input parameter uncertainties to the characteristics of model output accuracy and reliability, and to the probability of successfully...

Beyond Basic Modeling
Computers have long been used in water engineering to model hydraulic distribution networks In recent years, computer technology has exploded, yielding computers that are powerful and...

Site Specific Hydrological Model for Permaculture Application
This paper presents results of a study conducted on a small pond and watershed in Waterbury, Connecticut. The Soil Conservation Service method presented in Technical Release #55 (TR 55),...

Storage Reallocation Evaluation for Reservoir System
Reservoir storage capacity is allocated to various purposes prior to project construction. However, changing needs and conditions may warrant later conversion of storage capacity from...

Economic Benefits of a Flood Warning System?The Ventura County, California Experience
Since the spring of 1979, Ventura County has been receiving the benefits of a growing Flood Warning System (FWS). Beginning with six self-reporting raingages, two untested flow models,...

Evaluation of Global Warming Impact on Soil Moisture and Water Runoff in Texas
In this paper a numerical evaluation of the variability of soil moisture and surface runoff due to global warming is carried out. An analytical model of the soil moisture balance based...

Old Ideas, New Applications: Expanding the State of the Practice
This paper describes three projects in which analytical tools were developed to assist decision makers in operating large-scale water resource systems. Position analysis models were developed...

Combining Groundwater Simulation and Nonlinear Optimization Models
An approach is presented for linking groundwater simulation models with nonlinear optimization algorithms. The approach involves the solution of a reduced optimization model in which the...

Bayesian Decision Principles for Flood Warnings
A Bayesian theory of flood warning systems has been formulated. The theory offers principles for mathematical modeling of warning systems. The objectives of modeling are (i) to find the...
