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...
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...
Decision Support System for Conjunctive Use Under Complex Water Right Conditions
A prototype microcomputer based decision support system (DSS) is presented for assisting in the conjunctive use management of surface and groundwater under the water rights doctrine of...
Aquifer Storage and Recovery at the Centennial Water and Sanitation District
water in a suitable aquifer, the peak time capacity of CWSD could be increased while delaying the water treatment plant (WTP) expansion currently scheduled for 1996. To validate this assumption,...
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,...
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...
Brackish Groundwater and Urban Runoff: Source of Supply or Source of Problems?
The Sweetwater Authority hopes to be less dependent on imported supplies in water-short years, and has a goal of developing several alternative sources, including local runoff, brackish...
WATSUP: A Simulation Model for Water Supply Cost and Reliability
WATSUP (Water Supply) is a computer model developed to provide a prototype modeling tool for planners to estimate the costs and reliability of urban water supply systems on a regional...
Using A Risk-Based Relative Position Analysis to Initiate Water Conservation Measures
When water utilities operate with annual demands close to safe yield, they must be prepared to invoke water conservation measures during droughts to assure adequate supply. Determining...
An Integrated Approach to the Real-Time Control of Water Supply and Distribution Systems
In recent years, real-time automated operation and control schemes have been implemented for a number of water supply and distribution systems with varying degrees of success. This paper...
Reliability Analysis of a Multi-Reservoir Water Distribution System
A methodology for evaluating system reliability is developed to assist in the planning and management of a multi-reservoir water distribution system. The minimum cut-set approach is employed...
Administering a Regulated Riparian System of Water Rights
Western states, facing steadily increasing demands on limited water resources, have developed administrative regimes for regulating water use based on the judicially developed private...
San Diego County Water Authority's Emergency Storage Project Supplying Water During Natural Disasters
The San Diego County Water Authority (Authority) is developing the Emergency Storage Project (ESP) to improve the dependability of the County's water supplies during a natural disaster...
How Many Observation Wells Does it Take to Find a Groundwater Contamination Plume?
A Bayesian data worth framework is developed to balance the benefits and costs of data collection. In addition to Bayesian decision analysis, tools from Monte Carlo simulation, numerical...
