A Culvert Analysis Program for Indirect Measurement of Discharge
A program based on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) methods for indirectly computing peak discharges through culverts allows users to employ input data formats used by the water surface...
Sediment and Water Quality Control Devices in Small Watersheds
The physical behavior and health of an alluvial stream depends on the extent of man's interferences in its tributary areas. In its natural setting a stream provides three main functions...
Vortex Spillway: Test Study on a Hydraulic Model
The paper deals with an experimental study on a model of the forced vortex of Eur hanging reservoir realized by ACEA (Rome). Some vortex characteristics are investigated and, in particularly,...
Variability in Solutions of Constrained Optimization Problems: Ocean Outfall Design Case
Uncertainty in optimization model resulting from parameter uncertainty has not been well studied in the hydraulics and water resources areas. To make valid decisions, knowledge of the...
Optimizing Water Transfers in Urban Water Supply Planning
A number of water supply agencies in the Western United States have begun to integrate water transfers into their overall water supply planning, including the use of transferred water...
Hydraulic and Water Quality Reliability and Resiliency for Water Distribution Systems Under Random Demands
This paper develops a preliminary method to evaluate the reliability and resiliency of water distribution systems under random spatial and temporal demand patterns, including random fire...
The Seattle Forecast Model: A Tool for Water Resources Management in the Seattle Area
The Seattle Forecast Model, SEAFM, developed by Hydrocomp Inc. for the Seattle Water Department, is an interactive, graphic system for streamflow forecasting and reservoir analysis of...
Modeling Vertical Stratification in the Pamlico River Estuary Using Modern Hydrodynamics
A modern hydrodynamic model is applied to the Pamlico River estuary. Good agreement was obtained between measured and predicted water elevations and salinity distributions during the one...
Three-Dimensional Modeling of the Coastal Region Offshore from Sydney, Australia
Care must be taken in model formulation to ensure that unwanted internal circulation cannot be induced. Extensive model testing must be carried out on possible distorted element shapes...
Galveston Bay 3-D Model Study Channel Deepening Circulation and Salinity Results
The effects of deepening the Houston Ship Channel through the Galveston Bay estuary are predicted using the 3-D finite element numerical model RMA10-WES. The primary concern is the effect...
Modeling the Tides of Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays
A time-dependent, three-dimensional numerical modeling study of the tides of Massachusetts and Cape Code Bays, motivated by construction of a new sewage treatment plant and ocean outfall...
Storm Water Regulations?Aircraft Deicer/Anti-icers Operations
In 1991, FAA has initiated a storm water program to assist airport operators in complying the EPA Storm Water NPDES regulations. The first FAA project, a survey, addresses present operational...
GIS and SWMM Applications in Developing the Lake Houston Watershed Management Program
The City of Houston has undertaken the task of developing a Watershed Management Program for the 2,828 square mile lake Houston Watershed in an effort to prevent future degradation of...
Wastewater Treatment for Better Environment
Wastewaters from households, industries, and combined sewers are collected and transport to the treatment plant with the effluent commonly disposed of by dilution in rivers, lakes or estuaries....
Numerical Modeling of Salinity Transport in a Shallow Well-Mixed Tidal Reach
This paper is concerned primarily with the development of numerical salinity transport model using 8-point implicit finite difference scheme for predicting the salinity variation in a...
New York Bight Three-Dimensional Water Quality Model
The numerical modeling technology developed for Chesapeake Bay was applied to the Middle Atlantic Bight extending 550 km form Cape May, NJ, northeasterly to Nantucket Island, MA, and extending...
