Expert Systems for Drought Management: A Case Study
This paper describes the development and application of a computer model used by the Seattle Water Department (SWD) for operations during drought. This model provides guidance for initiating...

A Simple Nonpoint Source Groundwater Quality Management Model
A model is examined which efficiently produces information required by decision makers to assess water quality tradeoffs associated with alternative groundwater protection strategies,...

An Operations Advisor for Regional Water Management
The application of artificial intelligence techniques was evaluated for implementation for water control structure operations at the South Florida Water Management District. After an analysis...

Design of the Oasis Advisory System
Once the decision was made to develop an advisory system for the operation of water control structures within the South Florida Water Management District, a schedule of activities leading...

Assessing WQ Impacts Using a Hydraulic Model
Engineering projects may cause water quality impacts in estuarine systems. It is important to assess those impacts during the planning phase of the project so that mitigation measures...

An Intelligent Design Support System for Computer-Aided Site Development
This research proposes an intelligent design support system (DSS) integrated with a CAD environment for building site planning and development. The DSS is used for providing a good initial...

A Rule Based Expert System for Reservoir Operation
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and expert systems development have attracted many scientists and researchers. Reservoir operation is an ideal field for such research due to...

Water Quality Assessment and Management System in Regulatory Environments
State water quality regulatory agencies need to prioritize water bodies for program actions so that agency workload can be determined and resources allocated in order to achieve positive...

Spreadsheet Applications in Water Quality Management
The state regulatory environment requires simple, quick, easy to use and maintain water quality analysis tools. Therefore, for the evaluation of toxic substances, a new approach towards...

Risk Management for Water Supplies During Droughts
This paper describes a method for deriving policies for the operation of public water supplies under impending and actual drought conditions. Unlike previous models based on optimization...

Making Microcomputer Based CADD Systems Productive
The introduction of microcomputer based CADD systems has made CADD affordable to small engineering firms. Many have not been able to make their CADD system productive. The sources of poor...

Rehabilitation Strategies for Urban Drainage Systems?A European Perspective
Rehabilitation of urban drainage system is needed in many old European cities. This is in part due to the required structural upgrading of the existing sewerage system. But rehabilitation...

Water Distribution Systems Analysis Package
A computer software package for water distribution systems analysis has been developed for the city of Fort Worth, Texas, to overcome the problems of time consumption and human error,...

An Analysis of Hourly Water Use in Austin, Texas
While it is possible to calculate water use over a fairly short period of time, this only yields a single value for peak use. It does not give a comprehensive understanding of the frequency,...

Water Distribution Network Calibration Considering Multiple Loading Conditions
Through time a water distribution network's carrying capacity is reduced as material collects on pipe walls. The impact varies with each pipe in the system and occurs at an...

Methodology for the Optimal Reliability Based Design and Analysis of Pumping Systems for Water Distribution Networks
A methodology has been developed for the optimal (minimum cost) reliability based design of pumping systems. Two computer simulators, a reliability simulator and a hydraulic simulator,...

Optimal Pump Operation Using Nonlinear Programming
This paper focuses on the operational control problem of determining the optimal pump operation policy for a given distribution system. The optimal pump policy is defined as that schedule...

IWR-Main?Version 5.1?An IBM-PC or Compatible Water Use Forecasting System
The IWR-MAIN water use forecasting system is a sophisticated and flexible computer program designed for estimating and forecasting municipal water requirements. The IWR-MAIN system is...

CADD Applications in Water Resources Design
CADD can provide substantial benefits, in terms of speed and ease of revisions, in the design of civil engineering projects, including water resources facilities. However, current design...

A Front End Expert System for the Calibration of SWMM Runoff Block
An expert system is discussed which acts as a front end to the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) for the purpose of preparation of data input and parameter selection. The structure of...
