Lewis and Clark Rural Water System: A Regional Approach to Solving Domestic Water Supply Problems for a Tri-State Area
The proposed Lewis and Clark Rural Water System (L&CRWS) is a treated, bulk water delivery system. Membership includes twenty-two communities and rural water systems in southeastern...

Design and Implementation of an Optimal Real-Time Hydropower Generation Scheduling System for the Lower Colorado River in Texas
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) of Texas supplies water and electric power to over 800,000 persons in Central Texas. A real-time decision support system is being developed and...

Hydraulic Properties of Surface Runoff on Ash-Mixed Concrete Pavement
The disposal of incinerated sludge ash from wastewater treatment plants is becoming an increasingly difficult problem in highly populated cities. The feasibility of reusing sludge ash...

Site Characterization by Artificial Neural Networks
Recently, an optimal groundwater management model has been developed to treat groundwater remediation problems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The objective of the model...

Geographically Distributed Decision Support; The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) TERRA System
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has a long history of managing the water provided by the Tennessee River and its tributaries. TVA is responsible for such diverse water interests as...

Vadose-Zone Monitoring, Sanitary Treatment Plant Sludge-Drying Beds, Rocky Flats Plant, Golden, Colorado
The NPDES Federal Facilities Compliance Agreement (NPDES FFCA) of March 25, 1991 between the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pursuant...

Explicit Stochastic Modelling of a Reservoir for Hydropower Production
A new reliability model for planning the operation of a multipurpose reservoir for hydropower generation and flood control, which considers the stochastic nature of inflows and power demand...

Optimal Operation of Soil Aquifer Treatment System
Mathematical models based on nonlinear programming are developed for operating soil aquifer treatment(SAT) systems. The objective of these optimization models is to determine the operation...

Designing Under Uncertainty When We Can Reduce Uncertainty: When is Another Observation Worth the Cost?
A method is presented that optimizes the selection of sites for observation of an uncertain parameter when that parameter is used in the risk-based design of an engineered system. The...

Simulating Hourly Hydropower Operations for the Assessment of Environmental and Economic Impact
Generation of peaking power at Glen Canyon Dam causes river flow and stage to fluctuate on an hourly basis. This has been shown to impact the downstream physical and biological environment....

Reclamation and Water Conservation
The Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) original challenge, to settle the West and establish an agricultural base, has been met. Further, Reclamation's role has been evolving from that...

Aquifer Storage and Recovery at the Centennial Water and Sanitation District
water in a suitable aquifer, the peak time capacity of CWSD could be increased while delaying the water treatment plant (WTP) expansion currently scheduled for 1996. To validate this assumption,...

Water Reclamation Potential in Southern California to the Year 2010
This is a summary of plans and projections for future water recycling by Southern California public and private water and sewerage agencies involved in water recycling. The central purpose...

The Scottsdale Water Campus: There's Nothing Like It
The Scottsdale Water Campus will house facilities to effectively enhance the management of the City's Water Resources in the central and northern section of the City. Wastewater generated...

Role of Constructed Wetlands in Water Resources Management
Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) and the US Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), in consultation with other government agencies, the academic community, and environmental groups, are involved...

Technical Understanding in Successful Environmental Negotiations
Scientists at the National Ecology Research Center conducted a series of case studies of consultations concerning the environmental conditions to be included in Federal Energy Regulatory...

Design Aspects of Modeling Reclaimed Water Use
The authors compare design aspects of modeling reclaimed water use with monthly and daily water balance protocols and review state regulations pertaining to use of reclaimed water. The...

Potable Water Reclamation?A Practical Option to Traditional Sources
This paper describes the development of potable water reclamation alternatives to meet the future municipal water needs of the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado. By the year 2042, the...

The Cost of Water Reuse is a Benefit to All
This paper discusses the development of a nonpotable water pricing policy as part of the East Bay Municipal Utility District's long-range comprehensive planning effort entitled the Water...

Water Polishing by Constructed Wetland Ecosystems
This paper gives results of a five-year study of minerals and nutrients reduction in a large constructed wetland facility in Central Florida, on the periphery of Orlando. The 120 ha system...
