Continued Development of the Columbia Basin Project?A Status Report
The Columbia Basin Project is located in central Washington State and encompasses approximately 1 million irrigable acres. Water from the project delivery system was first applied in 1952...

Interbasin Transfers: An Issue in Search of a Policy
Increasing demands for water combined with recent droughts have increased the search in many regions for new sources of water. High on the list of alternatives are always interbasin transfers....

Estimating Impacts of Irrigation on Streamflow
This paper presents a method for estimating the impact of irrigation withdrawals on streamflows and shows the application of that method to the Kankakee River Basin of Illinois and Indiana....

Development, Calibration and Application of Runoff Forecasting Models for the Allegheny River Basin
The computer program HEC1F, developed by the Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center, performs runoff forecasting. The focus of this paper is on application of HEC1F...

Operational Forecasting in Complex River Basins with SSARR-Micro Versus Mainframe Computer
The Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation, (SSARR), model has been used for many years for river forecasting and reservoir system modeling in the Columbia River Basin. Operational...

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....

River Training Works in Gezhouba Project on the Yangtze
A great number of research results of the river regime planning and river training work in Gezhouba Project on the Yangtze are described together with their application in the Project....

Soil Erosion, Sediment Yield, and Deposition in the Illinois River Basin
The amount of soil erosion of the Illinois River Basin was estimated by using the 1982 National Resources Inventory (NRI) and the Illinois Geographic Information System (GIS). The sediment...

Scour Protection at the Straight Drop Spillway
Tests were conducted to determine the scour and the effect of tailwater on scour downstream of the straight drop spillway stilling basin. Preliminary results are presented on performance...

Determining River Stages with Consideration of Backwater Effects
In a recent hydraulic investigation on the Cache River basin, the stages of the Mississippi River at the Beechridge station were found to be necessary downstream boundary conditions for...

Probability of Extreme Precipitation by Months
Daily rainfall records during the months of October through April at rainfall gaging stations near the Kings River drainage basin in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of central California were...

Hydraulics of Side-Channel Weirs for Regional Detention Basins
Side-channel weirs can be used for diversion to reduce flood peaks. A 1:25 scale model was built to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of embankment-shaped side-channel weirs. Results...

Hydraulic Model and Prototype Experience on Old River Overbank Structure
Physical hydraulic model tests of the Old River overbank structure were conducted to investigate the hydraulic performance of the stilling basin and evaluate riprap stability and scour...

Cocohatchee River Basin Study
The report presents the modeling of the Cocohatchee River basin, including 2-D routings for wetland regimes, hydrologic/hydraulic analyses of the agricultural and suburban land uses, and...

Sediment Basin Design Using 2-D Techniques
A set of procedures for the design of sediment basins is outlined; it is based on two-dimensional hydrodynamic analyses, in contrast to conversional practice which has used only one-dimensional...

Effectiveness of Wet Detention and Retention Ponds for Improving Stormwater Quality
The most commonly used structural measures for stormwater quality management and control are retention basins, wet detention ponds, and detention with filtration ponds. This paper explores...

Glacial Basin Flow for a Power Operation Model
A power operation model was developed and used to estimate the project energy generation and reservoir level fluctuations. In order to precisely simulate the daily project operation, daily...

Applicability of Several Common Methods of Debris Estimation
In southern California, the Tatum method and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District procedures have been widely used to estimation debris production rates. To evaluate the applicability...

IJC Challenges in an Era of Uncertainty
Since its creation pursuant to the 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty between the United States and Canada, the International Joint Commission (IJC) has evolved into an effective mechanism for...

FERC's Experience in Analyzing Cumulative Impacts
Since the mid-1980's, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) has assessed cumulative impacts associated with developing proposed hydropower projects. A brief...
