Production Scheduling Model for Hydro-Qu?bec
A deterministic optimization model is described which allows to schedule the production of a predominantly-hydroelectric power system. Demand and exogenous inflows are assumed known with...

Comprehensive Optimization Model for Hydroelectric Reservoir Operations
The Energy Management and Maintenance Analysis (EMMA) model is used to maximize net revenues to Manitoba Hydro considering the operation of hydroelectric and thermal generation, generation...

A Pilot Intelligent Decision-Support System for Reservoir Optimization
Various classes of knowledge used in reservoir design, planning and operations for improving the efficiency of the optimization processes are discussed in this paper. A prototype system...

Alternative Methods of Generating Hydrologic Data for Reservoir Optimization
Given an historically based set of natural flows for the Colorado River at Lees Ferry, a series of 16 indexed sequential traces 78 years in length were derived using a 'wrap around' approach...

Hydropower Stochastic Forecasting and Optimization
A microcomputer package was implemented to support real-time decisions for weekly and month-end water management at an industrial complex in the mountains of British Columbia. The rolling...

Brief Description of Castor Software for Management of Reservoir Systems
The CASTOR group, started in 1984 at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal (Canada), is a major software development project for an integrated CAD system related to hydro projects. Based on...

Flood Warning Systems
A valuable review of the current state-of-the-art of flood warning systems is represented by the papers on flood warning systems presented at the ASCE Workshop on 'Computerized...

Planning and Implementing a Wide Area Flood Warning System: The IFLOWS Experience
The Integrated Flood Observing and Warning System (IFLOWS) is an interactive hydrometeorological data collection and processing system. It consists of three major subsystems; data acquisition,...

PROFS Role in Modernization of the National Weather Service
This paper describes the overall modernization procedure and the computing infrastructure that will support hydrologic operations in a prototype workstation that will be available in National...

Innovative Uses of Rainfall Prediction in Urban Flash Flood Forecasting
Operational prediction of excessive convective rainfall and the ensuing urban flooding has been an integral part of the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District's (UDFCD)...

WATFLOOD: A Real-Time, Microcomputer-Based Data Management and Flood Forecast System
WATFLOOD is a menu-driven micro-computer based flood forecasting system incorporating data management programs to enable real-time use of weather radar for flood forecasting. The main...

Geographic Information Systems for Hydrologic Modeling
Geographic information system techniques provide flexible and powerful capabilities for computer processing of spatial data sets integral to flash flood forecasting. Video digitizing or...

A Report on 18 Warning Systems in America
Of all weather related disasters in the United States, floods are the primary cause of death, and most flood related deaths result from flash floods. One of the major changes in flash...

Effecting Timely Responses to Urban Flash Floods
Problem identification and decision aid development are important first steps in putting together an effective flood warning plan. Until adequate data exists to allow refinement of runoff...

Simulation Model for Economic Irrigation Project Planning and Design
The principle design parameters considered are: water supply configurations (quantity, source and storage); shapes and sizes of the area to be served; on-farm irrigation techniques; cropping...

The Los Vaqueros Model: A Microcomputer-Based Reservoir Planning System
This paper describes the development and application of a set of microcomputer models for the evaluation of a complex water resources project. The Los Vaqueros Model includes components...

The Formation of Meandering and Braided Channels
Flow in alluvial channels implies flow past boundaries that form and deform under the action of the flow. Interaction between the flow and the mobile boundaries produces channel patterns...

Methods and Applications of Numerical Hydrology on a Drainage Basin
A model is presented here (MOMID) to study, having considered a morphological base of the drainage basin, the unit hydrogram and the routing time along the basin itself....

Reliability of Bank Protection Works Subject to Erosion
Sediment movement and changes of bed levels in natural rivers are non-stationary processes. The design of protection works for structures against erosion should account for the time dependency...

Model Study of Side Slope Riprap
Laboratory experiments were conducted in 10-m long channels having 1.5 H : 1 V side slopes protected with a 20.7-mm diameter rock layer 1.5 diameters thick. Four models were tested. In...
