Expert System for Agricultural and Water Quality Management
Agricultural activities occur in an open environment where uncontrollable climatic events influence both agricultural productivity and water quality. A decision support system is described...
Management of Agricultural Drainage Pollution Considering Regional Cooperation
Increasing awareness of toxic substance discharge from agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley of California has resulted in discharge limits on individual constituents in agricultural drainage....
Gradual Development of Bores in Canal Systems
Modern computer programs for modeling unsteady flow in open channels are typically constructed using a momentum conserving form of the Saint Venant equations. This allows computation of...
Design of Irrigation Distribution System
This paper briefly discusses the Bureau of Reclamation's process of developing the rehabilitation of the Grand Valley Unit in Colorado. Sections are included on accessing needs of the...
Prediction of Sedimentgraph from a Small Watershed in Poland in a Changing Environment
Estimates of sedimentgraphs and temporal distributions of sediment concentrations are essential for prediction of pollutant concentrations in streams and reservoirs. In such predictions,...
Linking GIS with Hydrologic Modeling
A GIS-based methodology for conducting rapid assessments of pesticide and nutrient transport within agricultural watersheds was recently developed. This methodology is based upon the use...
Engineering Answers to Groundwater Impact Questions Using a Geographic Information System (GIS)
Environmental concerns have raised complex questions about the impacts of increased groundwater levels adjacent to navigational pools along the Red River, Louisiana. Previous studies had...
Seven Legal Strategies to Cool Global Warming
The author holds that there are seven types of legal approaches which can be employed by different levels of government to cool global warming. Application of these strategies, singly...
Climate Change and Water Management Flexibility
Changes in regional climate expected to occur as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases may have significant impacts on water resources. In this paper, I examine the sensitivity...
Importance of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Satellite to Hydrological Investigations
Rainfall over the global tropics is crucial to the global hydrological cycle and to water resources in most developing countries. Its magnitude and variations are presently poorly known....
Applications of Remote Sensing to Hydrology
This paper pulls together examples of current applications of remote sensing information to hydrology. Topics covered include rainfall, snow hydrology, soil moisture, evapotranspiration,...
Applications of Remote Sensing to Irrigated Agriculture
Several uses for satellite digital imagery and data from portable field radiometers have been developed for the monitoring of agricultural crops, their yields, insect and disease attacks,...
Applications of Remote Sensing to Drainage
This paper summarizes examples of current applications of remote sensing information to drainage. Topics covered include drainage basin parameters, drainage problem identification, salinity...
Targeting of AgI in a Utah Winter Orographic Storm
A cooperative research program among the Utah Division of Water Resources, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Bureau of Reclamation has investigated targeting...
Results from a Long-Term Winter Cloud Seeding Program in Utah
An operational wintertime cloud seeding program has been conducted in portions of Utah since 1974. North American Weather Consultants (NAWC) has conducted this program for a consortium...
Cloud Seeding: The Engineering is Done, but What About Social Impacts?
As engineers, we tend to focus on the technical aspects of cloud seeding, and may neglect important social aspects or potential side effects. Often people in the target area are more concerned...
Water Data of the International Boundary and Water Commission
The International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico (IBWC) was created by the Treaty of March 1, 1889, between the Governments of the United States and Mexico. Principal...
ET from Shallow Groundwater Maintained by Controlled-Drainage/Subirrigation System
Soil-water management by maintaining a shallow groundwater level (watertable) via a dual purpose subdrainage-subirrigation system, is becoming popular in humid regions of the United States...
An Interagency Program to Improve Irrigated Agriculture
An interagency Management Improvement Program (MIP) has been initiated to develop, apply, and evaluate the MIP methodology as a way to improve resource management and organizational effectiveness...
