Reservoir Operating Rules for Maximum Hydropower Production
A procedure for testing the effectiveness of reservoir operating rules for real-time, multi-purpose reservoir operation is presented. Particularly, models that may be used to achieve maximum...
Development of Storage Demand Relation for Reservoirs?A Probabilistic Approach
This paper presents a practical method for developing storage-demand relation for reservoirs by a probability analysis of the stream flow data. The method was employed by the author for...
Prescriptive Model for Missouri River Reservoir-operation Analysis
The six main-stem reservoirs of the Missouri river system are operated by the Corps of Engineers for flood control, navigation, irrigation, power, water supply, water quality control,...
Winter Nutrient Losses to Groundwater Associated with Various Tillage Manure Systems
Excessive nutrient leaching to groundwater in agricultural watersheds has initiated research to develop control systems. Loading of nutrients are enhanced during the non-growing season...
Loading of Nutrients to Groundwater From High Source Areas During the Winter Period
Nutrient loading to surface, subsurface and groundwater in agricultural areas is the focus of control programs throughout the United States. In certain cases, high source areas can be...
Fingerprint Identification of Groundwater Petroleum Contamination Using Synchronous Scanning Fluorescence
Synchronous scanning fluorescence spectroscopy, SSF, is a simple, cost effective method for the fingerprint analysis of many petroleum contaminates in groundwater and soil samples. The...
Building a Pipeline?Not a Flow Through Process
This paper will illustrate that the planning, design, and construction of a 32-mile water supply pipeline from Stockton Lake to Springfield involves more than just digging a trench, placing...
Modeling of a Large-Scale Water Distribution System
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) imports water from the California State Water Project and the Colorado River, providing for supplemental water demands for six...
Energy Efficient Pump Station Operation with a Pump Switching Constraint
Pump operation scheduling has become a significant practical and research concern as utilities increase their computer usage. This paper presents an integer programming algorithm which...
Determining Causes for Taste and Odor in Bandar Abbas's Drinking Water

Urban Nonpoint Source Control Strategies Outside North America
Control practices for urban nonpoint source quality management varies widely around the world. Many countries have instituted controls to a greater or lesser degree, and they vary in complexity...
Case Studies of Utilizing a Flexible Automated Supply in Developing Countries
The need is seldom questioned for a water supply that is available when the crop needs it - frequency; at a rate that can be satisfactorily used; and for a duration that provides just...
Environmental Management Issues in Developing Countries of Southeast Asia
Acknowledging the escalating concerns regarding the environmental impact of water resource projects, a serious effort must be made to identify and review environmental issues which directly...
Water Pricing Policy in the United States: Task Committee Report
The nation's water pricing systems are discussed in the categories of general issues, Federal Government water, public and private utilities, agricultural waterand water transfers....
The Total System Solution
Most pipeline reconstruction programs carried out to date have been crisis driven or reactive instead of system wide approaches to problem solving. Two tools have been devised to change...
When Sewer Rehab Doesn't Stop Basement Flooding
The western half of Wilmette, Illinois, is served by separate sanitary sewers. Constructed in the late 1920's, this separate sewer system was among the first installed in northeastern...
CSO Rehabilitation Strategies for Urban Areas
The USEPA national strategy for reduction of combined sewer overflows places high priority on maximizing the amount of combined wastewater that is captured and treated in the existing...
Reservoir System Reliability Constrained by Natural Salt Pollution
A generalized reservoir system simulation model, which incorporates salinity considerations, has been developed and is presently being applied to a system of 12 reservoirs in the Brazos...
Development of a Phase I Prescriptive Reservoir Model
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has recently developed a Phase I generalized prescriptive reservoir model referred to as HEC-PRM. The purpose of the...
