An Evaluation of Hazardous Waste Land Treatment Closure Options
The purpose of this research was to evaluate changes in the persistence and mobility of the residues remaining when hazardous waste land treatment (HWLT) sites are closed. This evaluation...
Generating Instream Recreational Alternatives
A methodology combining an optimization model and a spreadsheet program is presented to assist resource managers in developing and evaluating instream recreational alternatives. Recreational...
Generation of Compromise Alternatives Between Maximum Benefits and Maximum Acceptance
This paper proposes a procedure to generate a set of compromise alternative solutions between maximization of benefits and maximization of acceptance. A small set of near optimal strategies,...
Generation of Multiple Tier Instream Flow Requirements
Multiple tier scaling of instream flow requirements based on available water supply and reservoir storage state is proposed as a means of generating instream flow regimes. Rules for variable...
Cokriging for Evaluating Agricultural Pollution
Subsurface drainage data from irrigated lands near Twin Falls, Idaho were used. Total Dissolved Solids and NO3-N were selected as variables. The...
Sensitivity of Non-Point Source Models to Net Rainfall
A sensitivity analysis of the ANSWERS model was conducted to explore the possible impact on model outputs of discretizing rainfall input data into short time increments of various durations....
Computer Automated Hydrologic Data Acquisition
A computer automated hydrologic data acquisition system has been developed to support field monitoring of rainfall, streamflow, groundwater and conductivity. The basic system involves...
Training Water Delivery System Operators with Simulators
A graphical display training simulator has been developed on a microcomputer to mimic the operation of a multi-reservoir water delivery system. The simulator functions as a training device...
Impact of Polders Upon Flood Stage of Atrai River
A mathematical model study, using System 11 model of the Danish Hydraulic Institute, is made to assess the impact of flood control polders upon flood level of Atrai River in Bangladesh....
Development of the Hydrology Criteria Manual for Harris County, Texas
The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) was created in 1937 with the primary objectives of reducing potential damages from flooding in the Harris County area and of providing...
Hydrologic Methodology for Evaluating Urban Development
It is recommended that a hydrologic methodology be utilized that contains sufficient parameters to enable the user to evaluate the impact of the changes to the watershed resulting from...
Modeling a Multiple Well Groundwater Supply System
The paper is concerned with the simulation of existing groundwater supply systems. This encompasses the delivery of the groundwater from the wells to the water treatment plant, including...
Modeling of Nitrate Transport Coupled Dentrification in the Saturated Zone
A numerical model for simulating nitrate transport coupled to microbial activity in the saturated zone is presented. A coupled system of equations describes the transport and microbial...
An Interactive Microcomputer Program for One-Dimensional Solute Transport in Saturated Soil-Water Systems
This paper presents a user-friendly microcomputer program for one-dimensional solute transport in saturated soil-water systems. Eight different types of adsorption isotherms, ranging from...
Response of a Surface Aquifer to Flood Irrigation
The response of an unconfined alluvial aquifer, and associated stream system, to recharge by flood irrigation in the New Fork River valley in western Wyoming was studied. A water budget...
Pressure Relief Design Around Pumping Plants
Hydraulic transient protection for an irrigation pipeline pump station can include optimized operating procedures, or design of surge relief equipment such as surge relief valves, and...
The MSU Sprinkling Infiltrometer: A Device to Measure Time-to-Ponding
Time-to-ponding can be determined quickly and with minimal disturbance to the soil surface by the use of a sprinking infiltrometer developed at Michigan State University (MSU). Solenoid...
Groundwater Loadings of Pesticides From Chemigation: A Gleams Model Simulation
This paper describes how, with slight modifications, the GLEAMS model (Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems) was used to represent chemigation for herbicides,...
Agricultural, Meteorologic, and Hydrologic Drought Relations: Applications to Irrigation and Water Supply Planning
Meteorologic and hydrologic factors can combine to significantly reduce crop yields, leading to an agricultural drought. Agricultural and hydrologic droughts affect a large segment of...
