Formation of Kolkhida Shore During Sea Level Rise
A reconstruction of the Kolkhida coastline evolution during one of the thermal maximum in Holocene was made on the basis of geological data. These data are taken as a principle in calculation...
The North Black Sea and the Sea of Azov Coasts Under a Possible Greenhouse-Induced Global Sea-Level Rise
The first attempt is presented to compile a map of coastal evolution of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov under the possible accelerated greenhouse-induced sea-level rise by 1m (medium...
Aquatic Disposal of Dredged Material in the Belgian Part of the North Sea
Extensive research and study on the behaviour of dredged material after dumping in the sea has been conducted on the disposal grounds S1 S2 and Zb Oost located in the southern Bight of...
Utilization of the Coastal Areas for Aquaculture in Nigeria
The current domestic fish production in Nigeria is estimated to be 363,706 tonnes whereas the projected demand is 1,237,000 tonnes. This leaves a deficit in demand of 874,294 tonnes which...
Preliminary Study on Impacts of Sea Level Rise and Response Strategies in Japan
This paper presents the outline of the study carried out by a Japanese committee on the impacts of and response options to the anticipated sea level rise and climate change induced by...
Scaling Laws of Gravity Driven Fingering During Organic Liquid Infiltration
Wetting front instability can occur during vertical infiltration of a liquid into porous media, particularly when a fine soil layer is overlying a coarse layer. The result of this instability...
Infiltration in Two Sand Dune Areas in Saudi Arabia
Field infiltration experiments at several locations in two sand dune areas in Saudi Arabia were conducted. Results of these field tests are compared with predictions of the Green and Ampt...
The Use of Residence Time to Describe a Hillslope
Queueing theory has been applied to the determination of Soil Water Residence Time (SWRT) using an 18 year data set. The calculated SWRTs agree qualitatively with the lags exhibited by...
National Weather Service Operational River Forecasting in a UNIX Environment
The mission of the National Weather Service (NWS) includes providing river and flood forecasts and warnings for protection of life and property, and providing basic hydrologic forecast...
Sacramento Drainage Manual?Hydrologic Procedures
For a period of over two years, HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) and HYDMET have been working with the City and County of Sacramento to develop a Drainage Manual. This Manual contains seven...
Sacramento Hydrologic Procedures Interim Adoption
In November 1989, the County and City of Sacramento jointly undertook the development of a manual for the design of drainage and flood control facilities in the region. Significant technical...
Nitrogen and Phosphate in Vadose Waters in Heber Valley
During the last decade best management practices have been gradually implemented in Heber Valley to maintain and enhance the qualities of surface waters that flow into Deer Creek Reservoir....
Soil Bulk Density Sampling for Neutron Gauge Calibration
The ASCE Task Committee on Neutron Gauge Calibration met in Logan, Utah in July 1992 to investigate the various methods of soil sampling, installation of access tubes, effect of various...
Neutron Gauge Calibration Comparison of Methods
Several methods for obtaining soil samples for determining soil water content were used for field calibration of neutron gauges. This paper compares the results of calibration curves obtained...
Concentration History During Pumping from a Leaky Aquifer with Stratified Initial Concentration
Analytical and numerical solutions are employed to examine the concentration history of a dissolved substance in water pumped from a leaky aquifer. Many aquifer systems are characterized...
The Influence of Slope and Surface Roughness on Trapezoidal Free Overfall Characteristics
The brink depth-discharge relationship for trapezoidal free overfalls was investigated including the effects of slope and roughness. The theoretical relationship is based on the momentum...
Environmental Control of Wetland Plant Communities
We have determined hydrologic regimes at a variety of sites while conducting studies to identify factors controlling wetland plant community composition and distribution. We have had relatively...
Density Currents in Pollutant Transport and Mixing
A buoyant spreading model for the current-advected plume is formulated including several distinct mechanisms: convective spreading, interfacial friction spreading, entrainment at the density...
Operational and Structural Optimisation of Hydraulic Structures for Light Liquid Removal
The removal efficiency of light liquid separation schemes is determined by the hydraulic inflow conditions, the inflow fluid properties and the separator hydraulics. The relating set of...
Mixing Characteristics of a Transitional Stratified Two-Layer Flow
Small scale structures in a stably stratified two-layer flow are investigated. The flow configuration has the initial velocity interface displaced with respect to the density interface....
