An Approach for Incorporating Inflows Uncertainty in Management Models
Inflow uncertainty is probably the most difficult issue for optimal management of conjunctive use water resources systems. In many instances, the effect of future inflows and their uncertainty...

Interpreting Dredge Material Bioassay Data?COBIAA
Two types of sediment bioassays may be conducted in the regulatory evaluation of dredged material, toxicity tests and bioaccumulation tests. COBIAA (for the Consequences of Bioaccumulation...

Use of Interactive Simulation Environments for Evaluation of Water Supply Reliability
This paper investigates physical performance measures and their practical application to a regional water resource system for western Washington. Specific criteria for characterizing the...

Demand Management Strategies for Providence Water Supply Board
The Providence water supply is the largest in Rhode Island, and the demands placed upon it continue to increase with the growth of the area as other systems turn to it as a preferred source...

Computer Support for Water Quality Management in San Diego Bay
At present, a variety of computer based systems and techniques, including mathematical models, data bases, information management schemes, statistical analysis packages, and graphical...

Computer-Aided Support for Water Quality Modeling of the Russian River
A computer-aided support system for operation of the QUAL2E-UNCAS modeling packaged has been developed for modeling of the Russian River, California. The system has been created under...

A Decision Support System for Water Quality Modeling
A prototype Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed to evaluate the environmental and economic consequences of alternative farming practices. This system was developed to help...

A GIS Based Synthetic Watershed Sediment Routing Model
For most watersheds, extensive water quality data are not available. Land use, topographic, edaphic and meteorological information is generally available; but without extensive water quality...

Estimating Urban and Suburban Sewage Flows with Assistance of GIS Technology
The Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA), an agency created by the Massachusetts legislature to provide wholesale water and sewer services to the metropolitan Boston areea, is...

Modeling Variable Width Buffer Zones with a Geographic Information System
It is possible to gain significant protection of water resources from nonpoint pollution with buffer strips, but frequently a single width strip is not appropriate. Geographic information...

Water Planning Using an Expert GIS
The development of an expert geographic information system (expert GIS) for long-term regional water resources planning is discussed. The system is comprised of an expert system to capture...

Evaluation of the Model Water Code from an Environmental Ethic Perspective
In order to allocate water in an equitable and orderly process, laws have been constructed. The two basic methods of allocation are 1) a market system and 2) a political system. In a market...

What Should the ASCE Model Water Code Committee Do?
The ASCE, Water Planning and Management Division, Water Laws Committee effort to draft a model water code is motivated by the recognition of change and is intended to offer assistance...

Hydrologic Investigation of the April, 1983 Flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana
During the rainstorm of April 6-7, 1983, a shell ramp was constructed over State Highway 406, closing the relatively shallow depression formed by the roadway passing over the levee which...

Assessment of Derived Flood Frequency Distributions
Derived flood frequency distributions based on the geomorphologic IUH are evaluated in this work. Two existing approaches, the methods of Hebson and Wood (1982) and Diaz-Granados et al....

Dry Creek Watershed Flood Control Plan: A Case Study
This paper describes the development of the Dry Creek Watershed Flood Control Plan. This study was conducted to quantify the extent of the existing and future (buildout) drainage problems...

Extended Experience with a Short-Term Hydropower Scheduling Model in New England
The New England Power Exchange (NEPEX) is responsible for the central dispatch of power throughout New England. To assure the maximum benefits of power pooling, the electric facilities...

Optimization Model for Operation of Recharge Basins
A mathematical model is developed for the optimal operation of recharge basins, which is a non-linear optimization problem. The objective of the model is to determine the operation that...

Planning and Operation of a Multi-Reservoir Water Distribution System
A water supply distribution system planning model (DSPM) is developed using a directed graph algorithm as its pre- and post-processors and a linear programming (LP) procedure as an `intelligent'...

Water Availability and Water Demand Study for the Citanduy River Basin, West and Central Java, Indonesia
This paper will discuss the water availability and water demands in the Citanduy River Basin located in West and Central Java, Indonesia. A program of development of water and other natural...
