The TENN-V Storm Hydrograph Simulation Model
TENN-V is a computerized, lumped, non-linear stormwater hydrograph simulation model for small unregulated watersheds. The applicability of TENN-V is best established in watersheds of less...
Urban Drainage Calculation Limits for Small Areas
This paper discusses the selection and application of hydrologic techniques in the design of stormwater facilities, with particular emphasis on the selection of hydrologic procedure for...
Sedimentation and Water Quality in TVA's Ocoee Reservoirs
This paper reviews and summarizes sedimentation and water quality characteristics of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) three Ocoee Reservoirs located in Polk County in...
Application of Reservoir Sedimentation Data to Problems of Environmental Management
Application of sediment delivery ratios and sediment routing procedures to sediment measurements provide an alternative approach to the prediction of localized average annual erosion rates....
Uncertainty and Value Analysis in the Selection of Dam Modification Alternative
Objectives and attributes were decided by the dam and watershed requirements, value judgments of decision makers, quantified trade-offs between different attribute values, and technical...
Habitat and Water Quality Considerations in Receiving Waters
Temporal issues of importance include timing, magnitude, and return frequency of flow conditions as well as duration of exposure (concentration) and return frequency of specific exposure...
Monitoring and Design of Stormwater Control Basins
The City of Austin, Texas, has played a pioneering role in the control of urban nonpoint source pollution by enacting watershed and stormwater ordinances, overseeing detailed monitoring...
Strategies to Protect the Apalachicola Estuary
The Apalachicola River basin and estuary lie in northwest Florida, and are unique and productive resources. In the early 1970s the ecological integrity of the basin was threatened on several...
The Oregon Coast Aquarium ? A Case Study
The Oregon Coast Aquarium, to be located in Newport, OR. , has been carefully developing over the past five years. Proposed as a coastal interpretive center, it will trace a water droplet...
Coastal Project Solution, Conservancy-Style
During the past decade, the California State Coastal Conservancy has evolved a successful approach to resolving coastal land use conflicts through its many coastal projects. This non-regulatory,...
Response of Maryland Streams to Agricultural Drainage
An agricultural ditching and channelization project has been proposed for the Eastern shore of Maryland. The Upper Chester River Watershed Plan will involve up to 708 kilometers of ditching...
Assessing Cumulative Impacts in Wetland Watersheds
In spite of significant efforts to protect California wetlands through regulation and acquisition, many remain threatened by impacts originating in their watersheds. Local governments...
A New Approach to Watershed Planning
Public and government concern over possible degradation of water quality and natural resources in the Hood Canal estuary has led to the creation of a unique intergovernment body, the Hood...
Patuxent River Policy Plan
Degradation of the Patuxent River, a major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, prompted the Maryland General Assembly to establish the Patuxent River Commission and require preparation of...
Nisqually River Management Plan
The Nisqually River is unique in Washington State, if not the nation, in having as its headwaters a glacier within a national park, and its estuary within a national wildlife refuge. The...
Ground Water Flow Simulation in a Small Drainage Basin
This paper describes the development and use of a numerical simulation approach for predicting ground water flow in a small drainage basin in southern California. The purpose of the modeling...
Sedimentation of Lakes and Reservoirs in Illinois
A generalized analysis of lake sedimentation rates in Illinois provides a representative 'window' on sedimentation rates of midwestern lakes located in humid...
Floodplain Regulation Downstream of Barrett Dam, CA
Barrett Dam is owned and operated by the City of San Diego, California. The Dam was built in the early 1920's to be an additional source of water for the growing City with...
Runoff Model for Watersheds of Nonhomogeneous Characteristics
A watershed of any configuration, topography, and spatial distribution of cover, soil and channel characteristics is described as a plannar grid. Time-varying precipitation is applied...
The Northwest Watershed Research Center, 1959-86
