Fear of Trying
Conventional methods for cleaning up hazardous-waste sites are expensive, subject to increasing restrictions, and don't work that well for certain types of waste. Innovative...

Ground Water: How Contaminated?
It is common knowledge that ground waters, like surface waters, are endangered by pollution from a variety of human activities. Commonsense approaches to the problem are overshadowed by...

Aquifer Restoration: Which Method?
Ground-water contamination is an increasing problem, especially in large urban areas. Toxics that seep into water supplies threaten the health of the community and it's difficult...

A GIS Approach to Urban Water System Planning
Procedures for projecting future water needs have ignored the spatial distribution of consumers. However, with a GIS approach to water demand forecasting and supply planning the spatial...

How Water and Sewer Agencies Can Leverage Their Investment in AM/FM/GIS
Water and sewer agencies are constantly seeking ways to operate more efficiently, provide higher levels of service, and manage the risks associated with maintaining their infrastructure...

Updating New York City's Sewer and Water Main Distribution Systems: Practical Applications of GIS
To systematically begin meeting infrastructure management challenges, the City of New York has dedicated precious resources to implement a utility-based Geographic Information System (GIS)....

Analysis of Thermal Scanning Imagery to Investigate Point Inflows Into Surface Water Bodies
Using a modified technique of thermal infrared remote sensing, physical sampling, and data analysis (graphical and geostatistical) locating a small inflow to a lake was possible. Thermal...

Infrared Thermography Based Pipeline Leak Detection
Computerized Infrared Thermographic pipeline inspection is now a refined and reliable process having been thoroughly proven to be an accurate, cost effective, and efficient technology...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing?A Guide for Parameter Development in Water Resources and Environmental Modelling
Development in both software and hardware engineering in the last decade has resulted in the proliferation of GIS and remote sensing packages. While computer-based packages have experienced...

Flood Plain Management Integrating GIS and HEC-2
Little has been done over the years to either automate the more labour intensive activities involved in flood plain management or to increase the efficiency and accuracy of handling applications...

California's Orange County Water District A Model for Comprehensive Water Resources Management
The Orange County Water District in Southern California has developed over several decades a water resources management program that incorporates innovative control strategies, proven...

Compaq Center East Water Management Plan
This Water Management Plan attempts to balance the many goals which were established in the Master Plan. Major areas of natural vegetation have been preserved. Stormwater quality pond/wetland...

The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Protection Program and the Baltimore Central Light Rail Line
This paper discusses Maryland's Critical Area Law, statewide guidelines and criteria, the Baltimore Central Light Rail Line, resource conservation areas, and other aspects...

Prediction of Runoff-Evapotranspiration to Estimate Leachate Generation in a Landfill
The fraction of precipitation that remains after runoff and surface water evaporation, enters into the solid waste landfill and generates leachate flow at the bottom. A part of the infiltration...

National Water Policy Issues and Activities
Active policy documents developed by the National Water Policy Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineeres or in cooperation with other policy committees and approved by the...

Guidelines for Water Resource Models Development and Use
