Discharge Forecast of Underground Tunnel System
An underground tunnel system can be discribed with linear system theory and its mathematical model can be made up according to its recharge and discharge conditions. But, because of so...
Tributary Pollutant Effects in the Urban Stream Network
With considering unsteady flow and backwater effects, a linear water quality model is developed based on the finite difference approximation. The model is composed to two components which...
History of Irrigation Water Development in Hawaii
Hawaii has a rich heritage of irrigated agriculture from the time of the first Polynesian settlers to the present. Following the ancient stream diversions by Hawaiians, sugar planters...
Imperial Irrigation District Water Conservation
Imperial Irrigation District (IID) and Metropolitan Water District (MWD) have entered into a Water Conservation Agreement to conserve 106, 110 acre-feet (1.31 ? 108...
Flexible Supply Schedule Missing Link for Effective Surface Irrigation and Automation
Surface irrigation methods - furrow and border-strip are generally thought of as being inefficient and labor intensive. Careful evaluations have shown that as methods they can be very...
Plugging Evaluation in the Re-Use of Sewage Effluent by Drip Irrigation
Primary and secondary effluent can be reused for irrigation by a drip system. When a proper lateral line with an emitter size of 0.75 mm is selected, the plugging can be maintained at...
Forecasting Irrigation Water Supply Using a Computer Model and Remotely Sensed Snow Cover
Improved streamflow forecasting in the Sevier River Basin is one objective of the Sevier River Water Management Study. Short-term forecasts are needed for optimum operations of irrigation...
Enhanced Multi-Dimensional Modelling of Marshes and Wetlands
This paper summarizes the verification and application of a two-dimensional finite element model capable of simulating the complex circulation characteristics in marshes and wetlands for...
Effects of Drainage on Water, Sediment and Biota
The U.S. Department of the Interior started a program in 1985 to identify effects of irrigation-induced trace constituents in water, bottom sediment and biota. The program was developed...
Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Aqueous Geochemistry
A comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of a full-scale, operating overland flow (OLF) land treatment system was made of the Campbell Soup, Inc. OLF system in Paris, Texas....
Common Mistakes in Model Applications
To apply models to groundwater problems, the hydrologist generally uses the following three-phased approach: (1) system conceptualization, (2) history matching (or model calibration),...
Impact of Grid Orientation on Groundwater Contaminant Transport Modeling Using the U.S.G.S. MOC Model
The U.S.G.S. method of characteristics (MOC) model was enhanced to include the input of measured contaminant concentrations, the calculation of computed and measured contaminant plume...
Pitfalls Associated with the Assumption of a Constant Partition Coefficient in Modeling Sorbing Solute Transport Through the Subsurface
This paper presents several case studies where the estimation of the adsorption coefficient, Kd, by means of the Koc-foc...
Testing a Method-of-Characteristics Model of Three-Dimensional Solute Transport in Ground Water
A new three-dimensional model of solute transport in groundwater that is based on a widely used two-dimensional method of characteristics model and is coupled to a modular finite-difference...
Evaluating Probability Measures Related to Subsurface Flow and Transport: Overview of Technical Considerations and Modeling Philosophy
Probabilistic modeling approaches are being used increasingly in order to carry out quantified risk analysis and to evaluate the uncertainty existing in subsurface flow and transport analyses....
Predicting Incipient Fluidization of Fine Sands in Unbounded Domains
Fluidization systems in the coastal environment consist of a water pumping system and a source pipe buried in or near a tidal inlet to maintain a channel or to aid in sand bypassing. If...
Sensitivity Analysis of a Ground-Water-Flow Model
A sensitivity analysis was performed on 18 hydrological factors affecting steady-state groundwater flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer near Albany, southwestern Georgia. Computations were...
Modeling of Reactive Chemical Transport of Leachates from a Utility Fly-Ash Disposal Site
Fly ash from fossil-fuel power plants is commonly slurried and pumped to disposal sites. The utility industry is interested in finding out whether any hazardous constituents might leach...
Optimization of a Municipal Ground Water Production System in North-Central Oklahoma
A management model is being developed to optimize the municipal groundwater production system which supplies drinking water for the City of Enid, Oklahoma. The system is comprised of one...
Conjunctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater Management
A mathematical model is presented for conjunctive management of connected surface and groundwater systems. The groundwater module is based on the linear, two-dimensional, horizontal flow...
