Environmental Compliance and River Maintenance on Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico
River maintenance activities within the boundaries of the Santo Domingo Pueblo on the Rio Grande have departed from the traditional channelization philosophy and employed engineering methodologies...

A Comparison of Runoff and Sediment Yields from Bare and Vegetated Plots Using Rainfall Simulation
Data from 108 small plot rainfall simulator experiments on pinyon-juniper woodlands in Arizona and New Mexico were analyzed to determine quantifiable effects of cover on hydrologic and...

Rainfall Simulation Studies of Nutrient Export from Watersheds in Arizona and New Mexico
Data from rainfall simulation experiments conducted in Arizona and New Mexico were used to identify relationships between total suspended sediment (TSS) concentrations (kg/ha/mm of runoff)...

ROTO?A Continuous Water and Sediment Routing Model
A model called ROTO was developed to estimate water and sediment yields on large basins (several thousand square miles). ROTO is a continuous model operating on a daily time step that...

Stream Standards for Toxics and Irrigated Agriculture Using New Mexico as a Case Study
New Mexico follows a policy of 'antidegradation' with respect to the existing quality of a stream, but its standards specifically exclude return flows from irrigated...

Expediting the Evaluation of Water-Rights Applications in the Mimbres Basin, NM
More than eighty percent of all ground water used in New Mexico is used for agriculture. The allocation of ground water in the state is the responsibility of the State Engineer. For the...

Evolution of Drainage Criteria, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Storm drainage in Albuquerque, NM is a central issue in land development. To expedite municipal development while assuring public safety and preserving environmental attributes in a public...

Rainfall Infiltration and Loss on a Bajada in the Chihuahuan Desert, New Mexico
Watershed runoff from thunderstorms is heavily dependent upon the rainfall intensity and the infiltration or loss rate of the watershed. Although there are techniques available for determination...

Runoff and Erosional Processes in an Arid Watershed
This paper reports the results of geomorphic, hydrologic, and hydraulic analyses that integrated a physical process computer model of rainfall/runoff processes with a geomorphic process/response...

Nitrate and Bromide Transport Through a Vadose Zone in New Jersey
Ongoing field experiments on monitoring transport of Sodium Nitrate and Potassium Bromide in the vadose zone over a shallow groundwater table in the coastal plains of New Jersey are discussed....

Kinematic Wave Based Hydrologic Models with Different Solution Methods
The hydrologic simulation models RUNOFF and HEC-1 are applied to a 3212-ha watershed in New Jersey, and performances of the two models in predicting historical stromwater hydrographs from...

Shell Island Restoration
Shell Island is a barrier island along the Louisiana coast that protects back bays and marsh land south of New Orleans. In 1979, the island was breached by a hurricane, exposing the back...

Real Time Flood Forecasting in New Zealand
Current New Zealand real time flood forecasting research developments are described. Successful flood forecasting using a linear system transfer function technique is described. Promising...

Water Power Resource Investigations in New Zealand
The New Zealand wave resource is dominated by strong uniform swell incident on its western and southern coasts. Electricorp Production has funded the deployment of a wave rider buoy off...

Facilitation of Goods Movement in the New York City Area
One of the most significant developments on the urban goods movement (VGM) scene in the New York/New Jersey bi-state region is the broadening recognition that the resolution of UGM problems...

The Truck Commodity Survey in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Area
The Truck Commodity Survey was designed to gather information on the characteristics of truck traffic at toll barriers with minimal disruption to traffic flows. It was developed by the...

Load-Permit Truck Operations in New York State
This paper presents the results of a survey of indivisible-load permit vehicle operations in New York State. The survey was conducted in the context of an investigation into the impacts...

Vertical Response Data from the Dominion Road Bridge Test
In January and February of 1985, two bridges were tested in New Zealand using simulated earthquake loads. The objective was to determine the in-situ seismic response of two reinforced...

Seismic Performance of Existing Building in New York City
Strength-based damage indices depending on structural shear capacity and earthquake intensity are used to predict the seismic performance of existing buildings in New York City. Nonlinear...

Recent Developments in Isolation Hardware
Most isolation systems have at least two physical components: one specifically intended to add flexibility and the other to control the resulting deflections. However, other elements may...
