Burns Waterways?Boat Capacity Study
The results of a boat capacity study for the Burns Waterway located in the city of Portage, Indiana, close to the southern tip of Lake Michigan are presented. More than 650 recreational...
The Design & Construction of Marina Martinique, S. Africa
Marina Martinique is a coastal residential marina in the eastern Cape Province of South Africa which will ultimately accommodate 730 moorings and 1100 low rise residential units, most...
Partnerships with SOBA
During the past 25 years, the number of registered watercraft tripled to the current number of 17.8 million registered watercraft in the USA. To meet a growing demand for safe waterway...
Reliability of Miter Gates
A new approach for the reliability calculation of miter gates is presented. The reliability and hazard functions are related to the surficial wear of miter gates on their horizontal sill....
Rethinking Flood Control Channel Design
Until recently, the standard method of flood control was channelization�converting a natural stream to a uniform channel cross section. But this single objective approach is coming under...
Cost-Effective Maintenance and Replacement Scheduling
The paper discusses operations research approaches to scheduling maintenance on components of water resources infrastructure. Cost and reliability objectives are explicitly considered....
Funding Inland Navigation Infrastructure
This paper presents a review of the current Federal approach to financing inland waterway improvements, an analysis of the Inland Waterways Trust Fund and a description of the operation...
Creede, Colorado?Channel Rehabilitation
The existing grouted stone channel in Creede, Colorado, is approaching the end of its useful life. The channel is subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles causing spalling of the grout...
Sediment Management Challenges of the Red River Waterway Project
The Red River Waterway project consists of channel stabilization and construction of navigation locks and dams to provide a 9 foot minimum depth for a distance of approximately 236 miles,...
Montgomery Point Lock and Dam Entrance to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System
The McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System has experienced a steady and positive increase in use. However, in the last 10 years changing conditions along the Mississippi River...
Application of the GRASS Geographic Information System in a Sensitive Environment of the Arkansas River Navigation System
A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to assist the selection of environmentally sensitive dredge material disposal sites along the Arkansas River Navigation System. Maintenance...
Resistance Coefficient in a Tidal Channel
In applying a numerical hydrodynamic model to the tidal channel-lagoon complex around Great Sound, New Jersey, it became apparent that the model guidelines for the resistance coefficient...
Two-dimensional Modelling of the Bristol Channel, UK
A two-dimensional depth-averaged numerical hydrodynamic model of the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary has been developed to investigate the effects on water quality of existing and new...
Morphology and Roughness in the Hydraulics of Large Bed Element Channels
The evolution of natural steep channels is a function of two factors in accordance with the principle of least action: flow distribution in the channel and terrain geomorphology. Large...
Watershed Hydrograph Simulation Through Dendritic Channel Networks
In this paper, a linear dendritic simulation model based on the finite difference implicit scheme is presented. In this model, a dendritic matrix solution algorithm for simultaneous solution...
A Modern Approach to the Design of Grassed Channels
The design of grassed channels can be based on modern fluid mechanics principles. The resistance to flow in a grassed channel is linked directly to the relative roughness of the flow through...
Transmission Losses, Flood Peaks, and Groundwater Recharge
Abstractions of streamflow in ephemeral stream channels from infiltration in the channel beds and banks are called transmission losses. These losses are important because water is 'lost'...
Piedmont-Fan Flood Hazard Analysis From Geomorphology and Surface Water Hydrology, Hudspeth County, Texas
A 2-mi2 (5.2 km2) site selected by the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Authority was technically...
Erodible Channel Models: State of the Art Review
This paper presents a review of existing modeling techniques, their physical and mathematical background, and applicabilities. Major areas of progress are outlined and difficulties are...
