Optimal Operation of Soil Aquifer Treatment System
Mathematical models based on nonlinear programming are developed for operating soil aquifer treatment(SAT) systems. The objective of these optimization models is to determine the operation...
Designing Under Uncertainty When We Can Reduce Uncertainty: When is Another Observation Worth the Cost?
A method is presented that optimizes the selection of sites for observation of an uncertain parameter when that parameter is used in the risk-based design of an engineered system. The...
Reclamation and Water Conservation
The Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) original challenge, to settle the West and establish an agricultural base, has been met. Further, Reclamation's role has been evolving from that...
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,...
Water Reclamation Potential in Southern California to the Year 2010
This is a summary of plans and projections for future water recycling by Southern California public and private water and sewerage agencies involved in water recycling. The central purpose...
The Scottsdale Water Campus: There's Nothing Like It
The Scottsdale Water Campus will house facilities to effectively enhance the management of the City's Water Resources in the central and northern section of the City. Wastewater generated...
Role of Constructed Wetlands in Water Resources Management
Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) and the US Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), in consultation with other government agencies, the academic community, and environmental groups, are involved...
Design Aspects of Modeling Reclaimed Water Use
The authors compare design aspects of modeling reclaimed water use with monthly and daily water balance protocols and review state regulations pertaining to use of reclaimed water. The...
Potable Water Reclamation?A Practical Option to Traditional Sources
This paper describes the development of potable water reclamation alternatives to meet the future municipal water needs of the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado. By the year 2042, the...
The Cost of Water Reuse is a Benefit to All
This paper discusses the development of a nonpotable water pricing policy as part of the East Bay Municipal Utility District's long-range comprehensive planning effort entitled the Water...
Water Polishing by Constructed Wetland Ecosystems
This paper gives results of a five-year study of minerals and nutrients reduction in a large constructed wetland facility in Central Florida, on the periphery of Orlando. The 120 ha system...
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...
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...
Regional Wastewater Reuse in the Nueces Estuary
The results of this study indicate that the firm yield lost to the release requirements of the Texas Water Commission Interim Release Order can be recovered by diverting treated wastewater...
Surface Water Quality Modeling in the Rio Grande
The City of Albuquerque (City) in New Mexico owns and operates the Southside Water Reclamation Plant (SWRP), which discharges an average of 200623 m3/d...
Setting Competitive Water Reuse Rates
Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (WUD) is preparing to provide reclaimed water service to several large irrigators near the County's Southern Region Wastewater Treatment Plant...
Wastewater Reclamation at Davenport, Washington
The City of Davenport, Washington went through an extended process to update their undersized wastewater treatment and irrigation reclamation systems for municipal wastewater. The process...
Reducing Discharges from San Francisco to the Bay
The City and County of San Francisco (City) is fairly unique in the west because it has a combined sanitary and storm water system. When the current Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) was completed...
