Practical Experience in the Probabilistic Based Management of Large Water Resources Systems
Probabilistic tools to assist with the management of large water resource systems in South Africa were developed and applied during the last decade. Acceptance today is not only due to...
Model Structure Validation in Groundwater Modeling
Structure equivalence models (SEM), a new concept in groundwater modeling, have been developed to assist in groundwater planning and management. Using SEM, the engineer is able to satisfy...
Decision Support System for Water Supply Management
Water supply management is one area in which subjective decision making becomes necessary. Knowledge based decision support system is proposed for use in operation and management of an...
Sophisticated Computer Tools for Water Management
Sophisticated new computer tools were applied to develop a water management plan for Nassau County, Long Island. A regional groundwater flow model and two 3-dimensional saltwater intrusion...
The Computer-Assisted Design of Multi-Ponds in Series for Stormwater Management
When a site's topography prohibits the installation of a single stormwater management pond, the drainage system can be integrated with multi-ponds in series. A computer program written...
Development of an Expert System for Urban Runoff
The U.S. EPA's Storm Water Management Model, SWMM, (Version 4.20, 1988) is a comprehensive water quality and quantity mathematical model for simulation of urban runoff in storm and combined...
Urban Wetlands for Multi-Disciplinary Stormwater Management
The evaluation of a stormwater management wetlands facility, from conceptual planning stages to final construction and operation, involves the interaction of many disciplines and agencies....

As an integral part of a study to develop a combined wastewater treatment system for petrochemical facilities, comprehensive hydrological studies were performed prior to the detailed design...
Orange River?System Analysis
The Orange River drains the largest basin in Africa south of the Zambezi with a total catchment area of approximately 1 million km2. Due to the increasing...
Stormwater Management Program for the Pittsburgh International Airport
This paper describes the Pittsburgh International Airport Stormwater Management Program which was developed to provide a comprehensive approach to stormwater management on the PIT property,...
Stormwater Management Practices in New Jersey?Suggestions for Improvements
The State of New Jersey, due to large population density and intensive development, has become a frontier in regulating the stormwater runoff. This paper presents an overview of current...
Implementation of Storm Water Management Programs in the California Land Development Process
One of the most powerful and encompassing tools for introducing storm water management programs to land development is through California's general plan process. California cities and...
HEC's Project Benefit Accomplishment Program
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed a new computer program which computes flood damage and project benefit accomplishment. It calculates...
Management of Supply Canals in a Rotation Irrigation System
Management of the water supply canals in a rotation irrigation system can affect the uniformity of water delivery to farms. Different management procedures are needed, depending on the...
Long Range Planning for System Rehabilitation and Improvement
The Turlock Irrigation District, located in the Central Valley of California, supplies irrigation water to 150,000 acres and electricity to over 60,000 customers. The District's irrigation...
Equitable Distribution of Water in a Rotation Irrigation System
'Volume-based Equity' is proposed as a means of improving the uniformity of water delivery in a rotation irrigation system. Management procedures are developed that can improve water delivery....
