Economic Trade-Off between Hydropower and Other Competing Water Uses: A Case of Coteau Creek Station
Using the Coteau Creek hydropower generating station in Saskatchewan as a case study, economic trade-offs between water used for hydropower generation, and irrigation and recreational...

Tailwater Management for Beneficial Uses
Tailwaters can provide significant benefits for recreation, fisheries, assimilative capacity for treated wastewaters, and water supply for municipalities and industries. Development and...

National Water Conference
This book contains papers presented at the ASCE National Water Conference held at the University of Delaware, Newark, DE, July 17-20, 1989. The National Water Conference was cosponsored...

Isolated Examples
The technology of seismic isolation, also known as base isolation, is being used to protect the contents and occupants of a building as well as its structure. Isolators are led-rubber...

Automatic Construction Scheduling From Drawings
Generating and maintaining construction schedules from architectural drawings is vital to both construction and design professionals. Automating the task requires combining a CAD system...

Knowledge-Based Construction Project Planning
This paper describes CONSTRUCTION PLANEX as a prototype of a knowledge-based construction process planner. CONSTRUCTION PLANEX is a knowledge-based system that generates project plans...

Optimizing Hydropower Potential Using Water Management Techniques
The development of hydropower facilities at existing dams creates an interesting dilemma to both public and private hydro developers: Is the proposed development the best-adapted use of...

A Case Study: Relicensing of Pensacola Hydropower Project
The current license for the Pensacola Hydropower Project (orginally licensed in 1939) will expire in 1988. The relicensing process for the project currently is underway. During the consultation...

Reservoir Releases Improvements?Requiem for Integrating Pollution Control and Resource Management Programs?
To better define the interrelationships between economic growth and development, pollution control, and water resource management, TVA conducted two studies that examined how reservoir...

Instream Flow Values and Power Production
An approach relating the value of water instream to water flow in the stream results in a continuous function of value versus flow. This function is developed using the Physical Habitat...

Instream Flow Methodologies and Requirements
Instream flow is a term applied to the discharge occurring downstream from and at least partly controlled by a dam or diversion structure. The volume and timing of instream flows most...

Glen Canyon Environmental Studies Resource Response Analysis
The primary objective of the Glen Canyon Environmental Studies is to determine how the resources of the Grand Canyon respond to the operations of Glen Canyon Dam. Two levels of analysis...

Bio-Economic Models for Measuring the Economic Effects of Hydropower on Anadromous Fish Populations in the Pacific Northwest
An empirical model is presented for predicting the net economic value of changes in recreational catch of salmon and steelhead in Oregon, Washington and Idaho associated with construction...

Osoyoos Lake Control Structure
The new Osoyoos Lake Control Structure has been built on the Okanogan River at Oroville, Wa. The site is about 2 miles downstream from the outlet of Osoyoos Lake, and about 9 miles south...

Guidelines for Design and Construction of Pozzolanic Stabilized Base Course Mixtures
The American Coal Ash Association (ACAA) has developed a manual of recommended practice which contains guidelines for the design and construction of pozzolanic stabilized base course mixtures...

The Role of Decision Rules on Structural Safety Evaluation Systems
Three steps are involved during an assessment procedure. The first step is to make a diagnosis for possible causes of the damage, the second is to perform a qualitative evaluation including...

A Probabilistic Comparative Study of Various Base Isolation Systems?Nonstationary Earthquake Excitation
A probabilistic comparative study of various base isolation systems is carried out. The laminated rubber bearing with and without lead plug, the resilient-friction, and the EDF base isolation...

Modeling Water Supply Benefits of a Shallow Lake in a River Reach
Minimum flow and level requirements based on ecological, water quality, recreation and other needs are established and used as limiting criteria in the development of a riverine lake as...

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...

Daily Water Budget Model for Water Resources Management
A daily water budget model has been developed and tested for the Clinch and Powell watersheds located in SW Virginia and NE Tennessee. The model integrates available data and simulates...
