Crop Canopy Models for Estimating Evapotranspiration from Row Planted Field
To evaluate the consumptive use efficiency of irrigated water, it is useful to estimate the soil surface evaporation component separately from the transpiration component. Interception...

Multiobjective Decision Theory ? Decision Support Systems with Embedded Simulation Models
The concepts of multiobjective decision making utilizing embedded computer simulation models and dimensionless scoring functions are described in the context of a decision support system...

Erosion Potential of Pacific Basin Precipitation
Average annual erosivity (EI) values were developed using 20 years of hourly precipitation data from weather stations located on each of 10 Pacific Basin islands. Average annual erosivity...

Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics of Rangitaiki and Whirinaki Watersheds
The Rangitaiki and Whirinaki watersheds in New Zealand have considerably higher storage and infiltration rates than others in New Zealand. The Rangitaiki watershed is flat compared to...

Numerical Methods for Simulating Debris Blockage Failures and Mudflows
This paper presents the procedures and results from an investigation to evaluate the hydraulic characteristics of mudflow events resulting from hypothetical failures of a debris blockage...

Modeling Nitrogen Movement Through Loess Soils
This study evaluates the ability of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) to track the movement and fate of nitrate (NO₃^--N)...

Two-Dimensional Analysis of Furrow Infiltration
A general applicable two-dimensional unsaturated-saturated model for transient soil-water flow conditions in heteogeneous soils was developed. The water flow model was applied to simulate...

Heavy Metal Transport in the Columbia River, British Columbia
Data on the total forms of selected metals were used to assess their concentrations at two sampling sites on the Canadian Columbia River from 1984 to 1989. Cadmium, the response variable...

Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Aqueous Geochemistry
A comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of a full-scale, operating overland flow (OLF) land treatment system was made of the Campbell Soup, Inc. OLF system in Paris, Texas....

Pitfalls Associated with the Assumption of a Constant Partition Coefficient in Modeling Sorbing Solute Transport Through the Subsurface
This paper presents several case studies where the estimation of the adsorption coefficient, K_d, by means of the K_oc-f_oc...

Predicting Incipient Fluidization of Fine Sands in Unbounded Domains
Fluidization systems in the coastal environment consist of a water pumping system and a source pipe buried in or near a tidal inlet to maintain a channel or to aid in sand bypassing. If...

Sensitivity Analysis of a Ground-Water-Flow Model
A sensitivity analysis was performed on 18 hydrological factors affecting steady-state groundwater flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer near Albany, southwestern Georgia. Computations were...

An Overview of EPRI Hydrogeochemical Code FASTCHEM^TM
The capabilities of the flow and transport modules that make up FASTCHEM are described. The linkages among the various modules that are required to achieve a hydrogeochemical analysis...

Measurement and Analysis of Hydraulic Conductivity Variability of a Heterogeneous Aquifer
The spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity of a shallow alluvial aquifer was investigated using borehole flowmeter measurements. The study was conducted at the site of a large-scale...

Slug Test: Double-Porosity, Linear Boundary, and Variable Storage Effects
The intention of this paper is to focus on three aspects of the slug test that are not as familiar as the main analysis techniques: the effects of double-porosity formations, the effects...

Prematurely Terminated Slug Tests?A Field Application
Slug tests suffer problems of non-uniqueness to a greater extent than other well tests. Alternatively, a prematurely terminated slug test (PTST) or a systematized drillstem test is proposed,...

A Preliminary Evaluation of Model Uncertainty Given Parameter Sensitivity for Select Transport Codes
The ever-increasing use of mathematical models in groundwater management has raised concerns as to uncertainties associated with their abilities to simulate real-world pollution problems....

Groundwater Modeling with GIS: An Example
The versatility and widespread usage of a geographic information system (GIS) as a hydrological modeling tool is only now showing up in the literature. In this regard, a research team...

Terrain Conductivity to Define Groundwater Pollution
Electromagnetic terrain conductivity surveys were conducted at four animal waste lagoon sites in South Carolina in an effort to delineate groundwater contamination from animal waste lagoon...

Soil-Pesticide Grouping for Water Quality Management
Pesticide and soil properties contribute to changes in runoff and groundwater quality. Because pesticides have been found in runoff and ground water, those managing water quality need...
