The London Dumping Convention and Its Role in Regulating Dredged Material: An Update
The United States is signatory to an international treaty that is implemented through the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter (London...

Tampa Harbor Florida Deepening Project
Tampa Harbor is one of the largest dredging projects ever undertaken by the Corps of Engineers. The major features of the deepening project which presented the greatest problems were the...

Environmental Management Problems of Dredged Material Islands in the Tampa Bay Area
Between 1977 and 1982, four new islands were created in Hillsborough Bay as part of the Tampa Harbor Deepening Project. The islands are now 3-7 years old. They exhibit striking differences...

Dredge Automation: The State-of-the-Art
Automated control systems are being developed and applied to enhance the productivity and cost-effectiveness of dredges. Referring particularly to hydraulic type dredging plants, the functions...

Environmental Legislation Impact on the Port of New York and New Jersey
Environmental legislation since 1972 has resulted in an extensive evaluation of dredged material disposal alternatives for New York Harbor navigation projects. Consideration has been given...

PCB Contaminated Sediments from Petit-de-Grat, Canada
In Canada, ocean disposal of dredged materials is regulated by the Ocean Dumping Control Act. Included within the schedules of regulated substances are organochlorine compounds, such as...

Dispersal of Wastewater in the Ocean--A Cascade of Processes at Increasing Scales
An engineering system for marine waste disposal is described. Design decisions are based on broad categories of input information: the complete description of the waste to be discharged;...

Mixed Layer Modelling of Stratification in Lakes
Mathematical models for vertical heat transfer processes in lakes and reservoirs are grouped into two classes: diffusion models and mixed layer models. In recent years much of the progress...

Reliability Analysis as Reflected from the Fourth International Symposium on Stochastic Hydraulics
Reliability analysis is perhaps one of the most practically important branches of the general field of stochastic hydraulics. Its potential applications include quantitative evaluation...

Stability of Method of Characteristics
For the analysis of waterhammer, the first-order accurate method of characteristics (MOC) has been widely used for which Courant condition for stability has been developed neglecting the...

Instruments Detect Dam Movement During Construction
Recent attention has been given to retrofitting electrical generation facilities at existing dams. Maintaining a safe structure during construction, and accomplishing this within a budget...

Information Retrieval Sources and Availability in Hydraulics
There is a very general unawareness of information available on hydraulic studies, application of these studies and import for other projects, and results of new project design methods....

Fisheries Engineering Program at Washington State University
Problems associated with the interrelationships of instream hydraulic structures, and migratory and resident fish, are in need of better analysis and design. This improvement can be realized...

A Systems Approach to the Assessment of Water Supply, Treatment, Storage and Distribution Systems
To focus on the needs of a system at present and in the future and to foresee potential problem areas prior to their occurrence, it is advisable for the management of a water utility to...

Current Hydraulics Research at the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research
The Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research is engaged in fundamental and applied research on a broad range of fluid mechanics and hydraulics problems. The history and organization of the...

Research in Hydraulics at California Institute of Technology
Activities are centered in the W. M. Keck Laboratory of Hydraulics and Water Resources. Research projects active at the Laboratory reflect a continuing commitment to traditional areas...

Current Hydraulic Research in the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory at M.I.T.
A brief description of the laboratory is given. The staff, researchers, funding and student participation is described. A partial listing of research programs is outlined....

Applications of Small Computers in Construction
These proceedings are from a technical session sponsored by the Task Committee on the Application of Small Computers in Construction of the Construction Division. Five papers are presented....
