Improving Streamflow and Water Quality Below Dams
Progress by the Tennessee Valley Authority on improving dissolved oxygen (DO) and flow conditions below hydropower projects is discussed. New methods of turbine venting have resulted in...
A Unified Hydrodynamic-Water Quality Model
To understand the cause-effect relationships controlling water quality in dynamically narrow estuaries, a time dependent branching, laterally averaged (longitudinal and vertical) hydrodynamic...
Colorado High Mountain Aquifer Study
This paper describes the potential for formulating water projects in Colorado using the storage capability of high mountain glacial aquifers. Although a terminal moraine provides a natural...
Effect of Baghdad City Sewage Treatment Effluents on Dissolved Oxygen Profiles of an Iraqi River
The paper presents measured dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles in an Iraqi river in the vicinity of Baghdad City. The effect of the effluent discharges from Baghdad Sewage Treatment Plant...
Comparison of Minimum Instream Flow Needs
A sound determination of Instream Flow requirements is facilitated by the use of a physical habitat versus streamflow relationship and the analysis of instream flow benefits produced when...
Application of Lotus Symphony in Water Quality Modeling
The spreadsheet capability of the Lotus Symphony program package was used to simulate the dissolved oxygen dynamics in streams and rivers. 'Windows' were created...
Street Fares
An argument is made for imposing user fees to amass funds for repair and maintenance of local roads and streets. These infrastructure services have to compete for local general property...
Making Treatment Plants Work
For the most part, past design criteria that have been used were based primarily on historical information from plants that worked or general rule of thumb criteria. With the increasing...
Maximum Water Source Utilization Using Lotus 1-2-3
This paper discusses the use of microcomputers to determine the optimum mix of sources for the Fargo-Moorhead area's water supply network. The area's major water...
Computer-Aided Drought Operations
A simulated drought operations exercise is conducted annually in the Washington, D. C. area. Local water supply utilities work with the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin...
A Case Study - Toms River Water Company, Toms River, New Jersey
Toms River Water Company provides water service to Dover Township, the Borough of South Toms River and portions of Berkeley Township, all in Ocean County, New Jersey. Existing supply facilities...
Computer Applications for Real-Time Operation of Water Distribution Systems
This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in computer assisted real-time operation of water distribution systems. It first examines the reasons and justification for installing computer...
Time Series Analysis of Hourly Domestic Water Demand
Design flows for water supply and sanitary sewer systems are chosen by rules of thumb in the absence of actual data. This research develops two stochastic models of water demand by analyzing...
Modelling Complex Water Distribution Systems
A program previously used for the analysis of hundreds of water distribution systems was successfully modified to provide the features needed for the extended simulation of large complex...
Water Distribution Design with Multiple Demands
An iterative procedure for the layout and design of new looped water distribution systems is pesented. The procedure is also applicable to the expansion of existing systems. The approach...
Legal Constraints on the Transport of Water
Legal constraints on water transport are based on legitimate concerns for protecting the future interests of the area of origin, but such constraints sometimes appear overly restrictive...
Forecasting Demand for Urban Water
The purpose of this study is to assess current water use forecasting practice in the US Army Corps of Engineers and to recommend additional approaches which best satisfy current requirements....
Practical Water Demand Forecasting
The authors describe their experience in designing, building, and applying a water demand forecasting model for the Denver metropolitan area. In the presence of incomplete and sometimes...
Reliability Analysis of Urban Water Supply
The high economic and environmental costs of large water supply projects are forcing engineers to consider not only alternative means of increasing system reliability, such as interconnections,...
Development of a Demand Management Plan for Greater Boston
The Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) in Boston is preparing a long-term water supply plan for its present and potential service area. The MDC is committed to a program of water conservation...
