Delivery System Management Via Dynamic Programming
Management of irrigation water delivery systems may involve allocating limited water supplies over both time and space under uncertain future demands. The physical delivery systems are...
Water Supply Forecasting and Irrigation Demand
The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Snow Survey Program makes periodic seasonal streamflow forecasts at over 500 major points in the western states. These forecasts are the basis for making...
Water Supply Demand Forecast
In this study, estimates of location, quantity and timing of water demands have been investigated for determination of the adequacy of an existing water supply system, the need for additional...
A Probabilistic Method for Determination of the Required Capacity of Reservoirs
Evaluation of water supply potential of multi-purpose dams generally involves determination of the required capacity of reservoirs for new dams and analysis of safe yield or reliable yield...
Evaluation and Testing of Travel Demand Software
Transportation planners are frequently confronted with issues and concerns related to varying levels of analysis detail. Although microcomputer packages exist to analyze regional, corridor...
Transportation Network Building Using a CAD Interface
This paper illustrates how Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc, has made use of AutoCAD(TRADEMARK) on the microcomputer to digitize an existing highway network and to create a new network from...
Census Data in Travel Demand Model Development
The New Jersey Department of Transportation purchased the Statewide 1980 Census Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP) and began offering this information to other Government Agencies...
Downloading Baltimore Regional Databases
The Regional Planning Council (RPC) now is exploring through trial-and-error, the most effective, efficient means of performing travel demand forecasts cooperatively with its 'clients....
A Travel Demand Modeling System for Istanbul
This paper describes the development and application of a microcomputer-based travel demand modeling system as part of an 18-month planning and feasibility study for the Istanbul Metro...
Distributed Graphical Transit Scheduling System
The Graphical Scheduler is the latest of software products developed by SAGE for the transit industry. It was specifically designed to run on a micro-computer taking advantage of the latest...
Planning, Operation, Rehabilitation and Automation of Irrigation Water Delivery Systems
The papers included in this book were presented at the ASCE conference on planning, operation, rehabilitation and automation of irrigation water delivery systems. The conference and this...
Sultan River Project Operation Study for the Sultan River Hydroelectric Project
The project will be operated to maximize energy production from the Sultan River within the operational constraints imposed by the water demand for the City of Everett and by the instream...
Turbine Efficiency Loss Associated with Draft Tube Aeration
Draft tube aeration is one method for improving the dissolved oxygen content of hydroelectric discharges. A simple analytical procedure is presented for estimating the loss in turbine...
Innovative Approach to New Water Supply/Power Development
Since the first deliveries made by the State Water Project (SWP) in the early 1960's the State of California has become known worldwide as a pioneer in the development of...
Analysis of Hydropower Cost Adjustments in the Southeast
This paper consists of: (1) an analysis of the current cost sharing for hydroelectricity production arrangements for the Federal projects currently classified as those whose electrical...
Planning of Hydropower Development in Hydrothermal Systems by Capex
This paper discusses the power generation expansion model CAPEX in which provisions are made that specifically account for the distinct characteristics of hydropower. The model determines...
The Optimization of Nitrification and Denitrification in Plug-Flow Activated Sludge Systems Treating Municipal Wastestreams
Most conventional plug-flow activated sludge plants experience nitrification, particularly during higher temperature conditions. Under these circumstances, additional power is required...
Reduction of Nitrogen and COD by Land Disposal of Dairy Wastewater
Land disposal of industrial wastewater, and in particular the ridge and furrow (R&F) process, has been a popular and simple treatment method for many years. This study, conducted...
Water Requirements for Range Plant Establishment
A conceptual model was developed which describes a series of pathways or transition sequences which a seed or seedling may follow during the initial wet-dry-wet periods after planting....
Air-Water Oxygen Transfer at Spillways and Hydraulic Jumps
Dissolved oxygen measurements are reported for seven spillway structures in the vicinity of Minneapolis, Minnesota, corresponding to 27 individual surveys. The surveys are taken during...
