Supply Side Engineering
In New Jersey, the Hackensack Water Co., a private utility, and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, a state agency, are jointly completing Wanaque South, a $151 million...

Instant Hydro Forecasting
Two new software programs developed by a San Francisco-based engineering firm determine hydropower potential, best site configuration, and best economics for hydroelectric projects. One...

A System Framework for Engineering Risk Analysis
A mathematical system framework is developed to model a series of criteria called performance indices (PI) related to engineering risk in water resources. Such criteria include reliability,...

The Ultimate High Tide
Unprecedented consumption of fossil fuels and clearing of vegetation have spurred interest in the greenhouse effect. Under this scenario, a build-up of carbon dioxide and other gases in...

Uncertainty and Conservatism in the Seismic Analysis of Nuclear Facilities
Traditionally, seismic analysis and design of nuclear power plant structures are performed using deterministic procedures. In order to address the issue of the likelihood of failure, probabilistic...

Water Forum '86
World Water Issues in Evolution
These proceedings for Water Forum '86 include papers presented at the second conference in which the water-oriented divisions of the American Society of Civil Engineers have...

Water System Data Base for Naples, Florida
Boyle Engineering Corporation has developed a comprehensive database technique using its Intergraph Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) system to assist in the computer modeling...

Endangerment Assessment in a Multilayered Aquifer Using a Microcomputer Based Transport Model
An endangerment assessment describes the types and degrees of potential hazards to public health, welfare, or the environment that may result from the release of hazardous substances into...

Urban Energy Systems for the 21st Century: Transition Paths
Alternative energy systems can be expected to be a significant part of advanced, 'intelligent,' infrastructure systems for cities of the 21st Century. The question...

Technology Assessment for Hydrogen from Renewable Energy
This paper is a preliminary report on an assessment of technologies for hydrogen production from renewable resources, and an investigation of the problems and issues involved in assimilating...

Hydrogen Energy for Residential/Commercial Sector
Hydrogen is being considered as a synthetic fuel or energy carrier for the post fossil fuel era. It has many properties to commend itself: It compliments the non-conventional primary energy...

New Generation Capacity
Currently, electric utilities in the U. S. have excess generation capacity. In addition, some new generation capacity is well under construction and is scheduled to come on-line soon,...

A Power Planning Model for Seismic Risk Zones
We present a model to configure a nuclear power system consisting of plants and the distribution network. In the model, we quantify seismic risk as comprehensively as possible in terms...

Developing Renewable and Alternative Energy Sources
The development of small scale, renewable or alternative (R/A) energy resources was originally perceived as environmentally more acceptable than large-scale conventional projects. The...

Urban Runoff Impacts on Receiving Waters
Urban stormwater runoff contaminants affect the principal receiving water uses of: (1) public water supply, (2) recreation, (3) protection of aquatic life forms, (4) agricultural and industrial...

New Runways Take Off
The two mile long runway 9-27, now being constructed at Houston Intercontinental Airport, was built for about 30% ($7 million) less than if designed conventionally. Rather than concrete...
