Water Demand Forecasting in Southern California
A study of annual water use in Southern California is made in order to determine the cause of unusually high demands in 1987. Regression analysis of the demands and analysis of ratios...
Water Demand Forecast Uncertainty
This paper examines the effect of water demand forecast uncertainty on the operation of a city's water supply system. It is based on a number of years experience the author...
Water Power '87
The 1980's have been characterized as an era of uncertainty for world energy including future demand for energy, fuel prices and availability, regulatory constraints, environmental...
Injecting an Oxygen Fix
Seasonal dissolved oxygen deficiencies are an old problem in hydropower discharges from deep impoundments. At the Richard B. Russell Dam near Savannah, Georgia, an innovative solution...
Water Requirements for Vegetable Production in Puerto Rico
Total water requirements of green beans, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, melons, okra, onion, potatoes, pumpkin, sweet peppers, sweet potato and tomatoes were estimated...
Demand Management and Urban Water Supply Planning
During the past twenty years, the social sciences research has been translated into new methods and techniques of analysis which enable planners to evaluate the role of demand management...
Water Resources Management and Structural Change in Rural Australia
Water policies in Australia are undergoing fundamental change marked by a switch in emphasis from development of further sources of water to management of available supplies. Quite apart...
The Role of Water Marketing in Water Allocation: A Case Study
The paper covers in some detail a specific example of water allocation, the El Paso, Texas area, to analyze what appears to be a good opportunity for successful application of water marketing,...
Effect of Conowingo Dam Releases on the Water Quality of the Lower Susquehanna River
A modeling study was performed to assess the effects of flow releases from Conowingo Dam on the water quality of Conowingo Pond and the Susquehanna River downstream of the dam. Reservoir...
Feasibility of Artificial Recharge to the Oakes Aquifer, Southeastern North Dakota
Based on measured well yields, initial surface infiltration rates, and ground-water quality, the Oakes aquifer can support a large-scale artificial recharge-irrigation project. An aquifer...
Aquifer Storage Recovery: A New Water Supply and Ground Water Recharge Alternative
Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR) involves treated drinking water that is stored underground by injection into a suitable storage zone during those months of the year when available supply...
Performance of an Artesian Glacial Drift Aquifer with Induced Recharge
The City of Kalamazoo, Michigan, has constructed induced recharge facilities at sites of several of its twenty-one well fields as part of a program for supplying potable water to Kalamazoo...
Artificial Recharge and Conjunctive Use Management?North Central Coastal Basins of California
Traditional water supplies supporting central California coastal agriculture are derived from the underflow in alluvial stream beds. Such supplies have been adequate in the past but are...
Identifying DepositionalAreas in Puget Sound
Depositional areas where fine sediments accumulate have been located through low-cost sediment studies instead of more costly current meter and settling trap measurements. Over 200 samples...
Application of an Ecosystem/Water Quality Model as a Tool for Managing Estuarine Water Quality
A laterally averaged two-dimensional computer model was developed to simulate the hydrodynamics, transport, and ecosystem dynamics of Budd Inlet, a small partially mixed estuary located...
Arranged Delivery Schedules
The method of delivery of irrigation water to farmers from irrigation districts vary considerably from one project to another. Rotation delivery systems usually place too many restrictions...
Demand Irrigation Schedules
This class of schedules consists of Demand and Limited Rate Demand. They need no communication system and can satisfy the on-farm needs with negligible constraint. The Demand schedule...
Modeled Effects of Hydraulic Mixing Devices on Reservoir Water Quality
A two-dimensional reservoir water quality model was used to evaluate effects of hydraulic mixing devices on release and water quality. Seasonal simulations of Douglas Reservoir water quality...
Analytical Simulation of Bulk Water Supply Network Reliability
The authors present an analytical method for estimating failure probabilities for a bulk water supply network with spatially dispersed supply, demand, and storage. The method examines...
Capacity Expansion of Water Distribution Systems?A Case Study
Capacity expansion and necessary capital improvements to meet the water supply demand for years 1990-2020 for the U. S. Route 1 corridor development from South Brunswick to Princeton,...
