Funding of Wastewater Reuse Systems Under the Federal Small Reclamation Projects Act
The Small Reclamation Projects Act (SRPA) and its amendments were enacted to encourage State and local participation with the Federal government in water resources development. A key element...
Usefulness of Low-Cost Watershed Monitoring: A Case Study
A one-year monitoring study was conducted for Harford County, Maryland to identify water quality problems and sources in the 98 mi2 Bush River watershed....
Delaware Estuary Nonpoint Source Control Program
Preparation of the Delaware Estuary Management Plan, sponsored by the EPA and the three states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, is part of the national estuaries program. As part...
Water Management as an Instrument for Cooperation and Reconciliation
Empirical models for identifying potential water quantity and water quality conflicts in water resources development are presented. These planning models are applied to a previously developed...
The Importance of Verified Simulation Model in a Sewerage Rehabilitation Program
In the past as structural, water quality and flooding problems occurred in a sewer system they were dealt with by crisis management. A better approach is now available using the latest...
Planning, Assessing and Implementing Pipeline Rehabilitation Options
The methods of investigation for determining pipeline rehabilitation options for design and construction are directed chiefly toward: a) cost minimization of necessary rehabilitation projects;...
Design Criteria and Specifications for Pipeline Rehabilitation Projects
Pipeline rehabilitation, while not a completely new technology, is nevertheless a fairly recent development, just now coming to the forefront as to common usage. It is not however a fail-safe...
A Chance Constrained Optimization Model Using Kinematic Wave Routing for Stormwater Infrastructure Rehabilitation
A chance constrained optimization model is presented to determine efficient long-term replacement strategies for segments of stormwater drainage systems. The model is multiobjective in...
Water Main Rehabilitation Needs for the 1990's
Distribution systems represent the major portion of water utilities capital assets. There are growing concerns about water quality deterioration within distribution systems, and hydraulic...
Statistical Analysis of Wastewater Flow Reduction
Changes in urban water use patterns can significantly impact wastewater flow characteristics. With the increased emphasis on water conservation programs, understanding these impacts is...
Efficient Sizing of Storm Water Treatment Ponds
An anticipated result of the NPDES storm water program will be the proliferation of regional storm water ponds that capture and treat urban land surface runoff, thereby improving the quality...
Retrofitting Storm Water Facilities for Quantity and Quality Control
Historically, urban storm water detention facilities in the U.S. were first designed, constructed and operated for the single purpose of urban flood control. In the second phase, recreation...
A Storm Water Utility Case Study, Salt Lake City, Utah
In response to financial pressure on the City's general fund and the EPA's storm water regulations, Salt Lake City went through the process of developing and implementing a storm water...
Analytical Hydraulic Modeling of Road Culverts
This paper summarizes the development of a comprehensive analytical methodology and a computer model capable of simulating a wide range of flow phenomena in road culverts. The new flow...
Reservoir Water Quality Modeling in Northern Portugal?Some Case Studies
In the last two decades environmental problems have become a major concern in Portugal as the effects of water pollution have gradually impaired the quality of water resources. Mathematical...
Statewide NPS Management Strategies
Statewide nonpoint source (NPS) management strategies are necessary because there are several different levels of authority involved, and the priority of action needs to be related to...
A Dual Level Methodology for Stormwater Detention Basin Design
A dual level design methodology for designing detention basins has been developed in an effort to standardize detention basin design and expedite the design/review process. The methodology...
Modeling Stormwater Basin Effects
This paper presents results of an extension to a study included earlier in these proceedings on the downstream accumulation effects of stormwater detention basins. The previously calibrated...
Simplified Design of Multi-Stage Outfalls for Urban Detention Basins
This paper presents a simple method for designing multiple stage outlets for detention basins. The method is based on formulas which were derived for the rational and modified rational...
Optimal Aquifer Management for Controlling Land Subsidence
This paper discusses on-going research in optimal regional aquifer management that has a multiplicity of goals: water supply, subsidence control, and energy management. Current research...
