Management Challenges Affecting Agricultural Reuse of High-Strength Food Processing Wastewaters
Land treatment of high-strength food processing wastewaters is a viable pollution control technology. Due to the high-strength characteristics of these wastewaters, effective site management...

Evaluation of Methods to Determine Peak Period Irrigation Water Requirements
Methods for estimating the peak period irrigation water requirement were evaluated as a component of the review of irrigation facility sizing criteria conducted for the Engineering and...

Review of the Lake Andes-Wagner Project Sizing
Benefit-cost analyses of the proposed U. S. Bureau of Reclamation Lake Andes-Wagner Project have shown the project to be marginally feasible. In an effort to improve the benefit-cost ratio,...

Irrigation with Reclaimed Wastewater?Recent Trends
Land application of municipal wastewater is a well established practice in California. Much of the reclaimed municipal wastewater (57%) in California is used for irrigation of fodder,...

Physical Model Verification of a Coastal Discharge
A 1:75 scale physical model of a thermal discharge into a rocky, semi-enclosed bay was verified against extensive field data. The model accurately reproduced the prototype temperature...

Lights Out at Caribou
The Caribou powerplant restoration is one of the projects to receive an Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award of Merit. On February 24, 1984 a rock slide on the ridge above the...

Garbage: Cogeneration's Third Dimension
Burning garbage or refuse derived fuels (RDF) is becoming more common in cogeneration plants being constructed in the U.S. The three-for-one concept turns one fuel into two products (steam...

Nuclear Waste Disposal: Where Are We?
The U.S. Department of Energy is conducting preliminary site characterizations for three candidates for nuclear waste disposal. The sites are in three different geologic sites. A Richland,...

Water Supply Analysis for the Milk River Basin, Montana
The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation's Milk River Irrigation Project provides water for 55,000 ha of irrigation in the Milk River basin of Montana. The project includes an interbasin...

Alternative Formulations for Water Quality Management Models
Various model formulations for water quality management are examined herein, each of which involves a somewhat different approach to the problem of determining optimal treatment levels...

Stochastic Stream Flow Analysis for Hydrograph Controlled Waste Release
A risk based procedure for the design of hydrograph controlled release sewage lagoons is derived. The procedure is based on a stochastic analysis of streamflow events above a given threshold...

Detention Basin Design Using Continuous Simulation
A continuous simulation model is proposed for use in the design of detention basins. The model accepts standard National Weather Service hourly rainfall data as input. The hourly rainfall...

The Storage Matching Technique of Detention Basin Design
In recent years, use of continuous rainfall - runoff simulation with historic rainfall data has become much more popular for the design of detention basins and reservoirs. While it may...

Muskingum Flow Routing Using Personal Computers
The paper discusses how tedious computations involved in flow routing can be easily implemented on Personal Computers. Parameter estimation and routing calculations for both linear and...

Verifications and Applications of a Nonpoint Source Pollution Model
To meet the needs of the Illinois Comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation (CM&E) project of the Rural Clean Water Program (RCWP), the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Model...

Large Reinforced Concrete Active Reclaim Silos
The design and construction of large reinforced concrete shell silos used to provide economical short-term protected storage for coal and lignite in the active reclaim systems of power...

New Directions in the Application of Probabilistic Concepts in the Seismic Analysis of Nuclear Power Plants
During the last 8 years, probabilistic concepts have been used in the seismic analysis of nuclear power plants. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) has been the primary vehicle for performing...

Geotechnical Practice for Waste Disposal '87
This volume contains 55 papers covering many aspects of geotechnical issues associated with waste disposal. The papers represent advances during the intervening decade since the first...

Environmental Engineering
The American Society of Civil Engineers annually sponsors a Specialty Conference on Environmental Engineering. The 1987 Conference was held in Orlando, Florida on July 7-9, 1987 with cooperation...

Dioxin and Resource Recovery
The 1987 ASCE Dioxin and Resource Recovery Symposium was held at the New York Hilton Hotel, New York on February 10, 1987. The conference served as an opportunity to assess the issue of...
