Recreating a Process: The West Georgia Regional Water Supply Plan
This paper describes the planning process used to develop a long-range water supply plan for a five-county area northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. Demand for water in the study area is projected...

Water Policy and Management: Solving the Problems in Southern New Jersey
Southern New Jersey, which has relied solely on groundwater to satisfy its water supply needs, is depleting the primary source for that water. Symptoms of this depletion include declining...

Water Policy Change, Implications for Pyramid Lake
Pyramid Lake is part of and is surrounded by the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. The river system has been administered by a Federal water master serving the Federal court system with...

Understanding the Uses of History in Water Resources Planning and Management
Understanding how water resources decisions (technical, regulatory, structural, or managerial) have been made is necessary to provide the water industry with a perception of complex human...

Involving the Public to Reach Consensus in Water Resources Projects - An Interdisciplinary Perspective
The San Diego County Water Authority (Authority) is developing the Emergency Storage Project (ESP) to improve the reliability of the county's water supply in the event of an extreme emergency,...

Willingness-to-Pay for Alternative Shortage Probability Distributions
Mathematical programming is used to derive estimates of the willingness-to-pay of water service customers for improvements in water supply reliability. Reliability is represented as a...

Development of an Intergovernmental Agreement For a Major Multi-Party Recharge Project in Central Arizona
The Salt River Project (SRP), a major power and water utility in the Phoenix area, and several municipalities recently completed the development of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA)...

Transbasin Diversions: Trends in State Legislation
Transbasin diversion legislation as enacted throughout the United States is reviewed. Commonalities are examined as are regional differences. Legislative trends are evaluated utilizing...

Simulating Hourly Hydropower Operations for the Assessment of Environmental and Economic Impact
Generation of peaking power at Glen Canyon Dam causes river flow and stage to fluctuate on an hourly basis. This has been shown to impact the downstream physical and biological environment....

Reoperation of Existing Reservoirs to Serve Changing Needs: Observations on Institutional Inertia, Conflict, and Efficiency
The 'reoperation' of a reservoir system may in some circumstances provide a non-structural alternative for addressing changing water storage needs resulting from population growth or other...

Evaluation of the Water Supply Potential of the Floridian Aquifer in Seminole County, Florida
In Seminole County, Florida, a occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s due to a large influx of residents. This large increase in demand, when coupled with a limited groundwater supply,...

Predicting Hydrologic Impacts of a Severe and Sustained Drought on the Colorado River Basin
We investigated the impacts of a severe and sustained drought (SSD) on the hydrology of the Colorado River Basin. The simulation was carried out using the Colorado River Network (CORN)...

Activity Based Costing in Water Resources Management
This paper examines the relatively new accounting tool, Activity Based Costing (ABC), and describes its potential application in water resources planning, management, and operations. The...

Technical Understanding in Successful Environmental Negotiations
Scientists at the National Ecology Research Center conducted a series of case studies of consultations concerning the environmental conditions to be included in Federal Energy Regulatory...

Plate and Frame Membrane Air Stripping
This paper examines utilization of a plate and frame membrane air stripping system for the removal of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and radon from a water supply. Previous work explored...

Lesson Learned form Implementing M&I Optimal Water Delivery
Few municipal water delivery systems are truly optimized to deliver a quantity of water at the least cost. Both the University of Kentucky and Memphis State University have attempted to...

Computer Simulation Model of the Integrated Local Water Supply Plan for the City of Wichita, Kansas
The City of Wichita, Kansas will require additional water supply sources to meet projected future water demands. A study of options identified a supply plan with integrated use of local...

Reusable Water Exhange Modeling
Wastewater return flows of raw water which is reusable, i.e., water which is entirely consumable, can be exchanged for a like amount of water upstream in the river basin. Exchanged water...

Determining Optimal Parameter Dimensions for Water Distribution Network Models
Water distribution systems contain a large number of pipes whose roughness factors are unknown prior to model calibration. During the calibration process, pipe roughnesses for each link...

A New Approach to Water Education: Children's Water Festivals
A number of Colorado water agencies, school districts, and municipal utilities have combined efforts recently to coordinate a relatively new concept in water education - Children's Water...
