EPA Supported Wasteload Allocation Models
Modeling is increasingly becoming a part of the Wasteload Allocation Process. The US EPA provides guidance, technical training and computer software in support of this program. This paper...

Future Trends in Software Development
The Office of Water (OW) has set program goals of improving the productivity and technical quality of wasteload allocation modeling and water quality-based permitting in the States and...

Optimization of Flood Control Projects
Project optimization analysis techniques have become indispensable tools for the design, management, and administration of flood control improvements. The increasing complexity of engineering...

Computer Usage in Obtaining Alternate Optimal Solutions for Water Resources Optimization Problems
In this paper, alternate optimal solutions of a few example linear programming problems are obtained by using a computer routine developed for the purpose. The routine is capable of generating...

Optimization in Water Resources Planning
Recently developed optimization software represents significant first steps toward the application of the digital computer as a design and planning tool. This software has recently been...

Study of Stochastic Planning and Design of Multireservoir Systems
A new approach named Lumped to Discrete Programming (LDP) coupled with constrained stochastic optimization and successive approximation approach amongst reservoirs gives promise to subtantially...

Solving a State Environmental Agency Computer Maze
This discussion relates the experiences of a state environmental agency in addressing a decade of inadequate attention to the importance of computers and automated data processing to the...

The WSSC Integrated System Implementation Project
The software development effort conducted for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission began in October, 1981 and has been in process since that date. The goal of the effort is to produce...

Numerical Modeling of Groundwater-Lake Systems
Groundwater inflows can have important effects on the chemistry and biology of a lake ecosystem. For example, studies of lakes in Northern Wisconsin documented localization of ferromanganese...

Utilization of Numerical Models in Groundwater
For many years numerical models have been used in groundwater hydrology. In a recent assessment of the availabilty and use of models, a number of problem areas were identified. Some of...

Deterministic and Statistical Water Quality Modeling
An integrated methodology is presented, based on a hierarchical package of computer models ranging from simple micro-computer programs to more complex mainframe simulation, to address...

Estimating Delays at Navigation Locks
Tow delay is an important component of cost at navigation locks, and delay reduction is a major benefit of lock improvement. Computer simulation is a valuable method of estimating lock...
