Managing the Coastal Heritage of Australia
The concept of heritage spaces as a part of open-space systems has been evolving in Australia over the last 15 years. This paper overviews the main approaches that have been developed...
Coastal Dune Status and Management Conflicts, New South Wales, Australia
The University of Sydney/Soil Conservation Service dune management research project was initiated with the ultimate goal of developing a multiple-objective planning model to define the...
Erosion of the Slopes of Gold Tailings Dams
A study has been made of rates of erosion from the slopes of gold-residue dams in the South African Highveld region. Data is available for two years at this time and conclusions must therefore...
Economic Analysis of Irrigation Rehabilitation Projects
This paper discusses the assessment of the costs and benefits of irrigation rehabilitation and modernization projects. It summarizes the methodology used at the World Bank to assess the...
PC MODEL BRESSED for Stochastic Prediction of Reservoir Sedimentation
A stochastic flow-storage/sediment-deposition model was written in BASIC with userfriendly features. It is an augmented version of the FORTRAN program RESSED (REServoir SEDimentation)...
Models of Border Irrigation for Flat Clayey Soils
Border irrigation is widely used for irrigating pastures in south-east Australia. Inadequate earthworks, design and operation of irrigation layouts have been major causes of waterlogging...
Bowen Ratio and Penman: Australian-California Tests
Results are presented of evapotranspiration (ET) studies conducted in Davis, California and at two locations in Australia. Good agreements were obtained in early comparisons of Bowen Ratio...
The Relationship of Benefits to System Size for Irrigation Projects
This paper presents a generalized linear programming (LP) and farm budget model for optimization of on-farm irrigation benefits resulting from variations in irrigation project size. The...
High Plains States Groundwater Recharge Program
The Bureau of Reclamation is conducting a 2-phase program to demonstrate the feasibility of recharging declining aquifers in the 17 Western States. The U. S. Geological Survey, Environmental...
Economic Benefit of Irrigation on Beef Ranches
Drought can result in forage shortages leading to possible liquidation of the breeding herd. Liquidation is often at depressed prices, and replacement may be at elevated prices. In this...
Role of Surficial Aquifer in Barrier Island Streamflow Generation
Monitoring results are presented for an experimental watershed located on a South Carolina barrier island. Rainfall, streamflow and well data indicate streamflow occurs due to interaction...
A Probabilistic Method for Determination of the Required Capacity of Reservoirs
Evaluation of water supply potential of multi-purpose dams generally involves determination of the required capacity of reservoirs for new dams and analysis of safe yield or reliable yield...
Monte Carlo Approach to Spillway Design Floods
This paper shows the use of a daily stochastic streamflow model for the calculation of the hydrograph for spillway design. Most of the literature related to the topic deals with the problem...
Dynamic Behavior of R/C Buildings in Vi? del Mar, Chile
The Chilean earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0. 36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete...
Selection of Small Hydro Project Sites
In the course of studying nearly forty areas in Peru to identify possible sites for small hydro development and in order to select the best in each area for detailed design, the Authors...
The Cherokee Falls Hydroelectric Project
The 4 MW Cherokee Falls Hydroelectric Project is located near Gaffney, South Carolina, at the existing Cherokee Falls dam at mile 102 on the Broad River. The work involves constructing...
Piedra Del Aguila�New Hydropower for Argentina
Construction commenced in early 1985 on the 1. 0 billion Piedra del Aguila Hydroelectric Project on the Rio Limay about 1200 km (750 mi) southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The project...
World's Largest SF6 Gas-Insulated Substation
The Itaipu hydroelectric powerplant is located on the Parana river which forms the border between Brazil and Paraguay. It will be the world's largest powerplant with an installed...
Rehabilitation of Victoria Dam
Rehabilitation of a 54-year old thin concrete arch-buttress dam was completed without interruption of power generation using pressure injection of an epoxy adhesive. This paper presents...
Design and Construction of Paute Project, Ecuador
