Economics of Groundwater-Pumping Level Statutes
Pumping from one well may lower the water table in another to the point where pumping from it becomes unfeasible. Problems exist in allocating the increased costs of pumping caused by...
Groundwater Basin Storage in Southern California
The feasibility of implementing a groundwater storage program in the Chino Groundwater Basin (Chino Basin) to increase the firm yield of the SWP (California State Water Project) is considered....
Ground Water Economics in the San Joaquin Valley
Ground water pumping in the San Joaquin Valley to supplement surface water supplies has increased from about 200 thousand acre-feet per year at the beginning of this century to nine million...
Limit State Analysis of Lattice Steel Transmission Towers
The background and present status for limit state analysis of lattice steel towers at the Bonneville Power Administration is presented. Conceptual development, a computer program, and...
Reliability-Based LRFD for Transmission Structures
A simple reliability-based Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is proposed for the structural design of electric transmission lines. With the proposed method, the designer...
Evaluating Data Collectors as a Surveying Tool
Data collectors play an increasingly important role in surveying. The data collector serves as an interface between the total station and the computer and as an electronic assistant to...
River Meandering
The erosion and sedimentation processes associated with river meandering have a profound effect on man's use of rivers and their valleys, as well as the natural environment....
Environmental Engineering
The purpose of the Annual Conference on Environmental Engineering is to pursue scientific knowledge and promote sound engineering judgement and practice in the solution of the many environmental...
Water Today and Tomorrow
These conference proceedings include 87 papers dealing with irrigation-related topics concerning water supplies, water quality, legal and social infrastructure, irrigation projects and...
Database Management
Computer aided design systems have found widespread acceptance from Engineering companies as drafting/detailing/drawing tools. While this has brought a dramatic productivity improvement...
Water for Resource Development
The primary goal of these proceedings is to provide an awareness of the many areas of resource development in which hydraulic engineering plays a key role. The papers cover a variety of...
Selecting an Economical Water Main Rehab
Many miles of aging water mains exist with carrying capacities that are less than half of what they were when new. Engineers must, therefore, stretch every dollar to eliminate deposits...
Agricultural Crop Production and Quality Effects when Soils are Amended with Dredged Lake Sediments
Lake renewal achieved by pumping loose sediment from the lake bottom requires a disposal area for that sediment and the associated water. Application of this sediment to agricultural land,...
Automated Walking Cycle for Swinging Ladder Dredge
The unique application of a Swinging Ladder Dredge to perform maintenance dredging in the cooling canal system of the Turkey Point Power Plant demanded the design of a semi-automated dredge...
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...
Development of Response Plans for Toxic Spills
A plan is proposed for managing the response to a toxic spill into a river system and the minimization of its effects on water utilities, industry and the environment. As technical aids...
Scour and Fill Monitoring at Lock and Dam No. 26 (Replacement), Mississippi River
Information gathered during construction of the first stage dam is presented. The information consists of data indicating flows and stages along with data obtained from surveys which monitor...
Numerical Modeling of Flow in Hydropower Intakes
To reduce high mortality of downstream migrating juvenile salmon at hydraulic turbines, traveling screens are used to guide the juveniles into a bypass channel for safe passage. However,...
Hydraulic Testing of a Large Make-Up Pipeline
A 37 mile pipeline which consists of sections of 114 inch, 96 inch and 66 inch pipes was constructed for delivering secondary sewage effluents for power plant makeup. During initial operations,...
Hydraulic Analysis of Water Transmission Flowing Party Full
The hydraulic behavior of a transmission line that flows full along only part of its length is more difficult to analyze than a completely full line. Unsteady open-channel and closed-conduit...
