Way Against Debris Flows at China's Mountain Towns
For important protected objectives, the measures against debris flow in mountain towns should ensure all-round reliability and adopt a comprehensive system of engineering projects combined...
Moving Toward the Millennium
The last decade of the 1990's is just beginning and paradoxically the water resources readily available to Clark County, Nevada are just ending. In a few short years Nevada's...
Erosion Processes in Upland Areas
After a soil particle is detached and entrained, it will be transported by the surface runoff. However, depending on the eroding and transport capacities of the surface runoff, some of...
Design Storms and Sizing of Flood Control Facilities
Design stroms which embody the rainfall characteristics of an area are used for the sizing of drainage facilities. The selection of a design strom may significantly influence the design...
Flood Control Improvements on Alluvial Fans
Floodplain management on alluvial fans has become an increasingly important issue with continued growth and urbanization in the southwest. The design of flood control facilities for new...
GIS: Easing Infrastructure Management
GIS provides an ideal means for city planners and engineers to plan construction and maintenance of water-distribution networks, wastewater-collection systems and treatment plants, highways,...
Task Committee on Transport Processes at the Interface of Water Column and Bottom Sediment
The Task Committee on Transport Processes at the Interface of Water Column and Bottom Sediment was formed on October 1, 1989 under the Technical Committee on Hydrologic Transport and Dispersion...
Observation of Sediment Resuspension in Old Tampa Bay, Florida
Equipment and methodology have been developed to monitor sediment resuspension at two sites in Old Tampa Bay. Velocities are measured with electromagnetic current meters and suspended...
A Review of the State-of-the-Art in Sediment-Water Column Interaction Measurement Techniques
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art measurement techniques available to water quality modeling practioners to estimate: (a) sediment oxygen demand rates, (b) sediment-water column...
Soluble Pollutant Enrichment in Snow Covers
A mathematical model is presented to simulate enrichment of soluble pollutants in snow covers. The model is based on the liquid water flow, heat transport, and pollutant transport equations....
A Branched Mass Transport Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
A new branched mass (salt) transport model is used to simulate salt transport in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The model uses a two-step procedure to determine the salt...
A Computational Analysis of Dynamic Interaction of Dam with Reservoir Water and Sediment
A two-dimensional model of porous media is employed to calculate the reduction of the onset hydrodynamic pressure with the bulk modulus of pore water in reservoir sediment. However, the...
CORMIX2: Expert System for Multiport Diffuser Discharges
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a series of software systems for the analysis, prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into watercourses,...
Effect of Temperature on Settling of Fine Sediments
Results from settling experiments in an annular flume using kaolinite clay in distilled water are presented. Identical experiments carried out at different temperatures show that as temperature...
A Hybrid Model for Sediment Concentration Profiles
The paper discusses the deficiency in the existing theories on suspended concentration profiles which is due to the variations of theories for modeling the velocity profiles. As can be...
Stable Channel Analytical Design Method
The Flood-Control Channels Research Program is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to develop systematic methods for design of stable channels for small...
Guidance on the Selection and Use of Sediment Discharge Formulas
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the sediment function module of the computer program SAM. SAM is being developed as a product of the US Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control Channels...
Physical Modelling of Self Forming Alluvial Channels
A method is presented for the determination of a practicable physical model of self-forming channels in cohesionless alluvium. Both sand bed and gravel bed regime channels are considered....
The Sediment Weighted Histogram Generator and Estimation of Sediment Transport Trends
Long term sediment transport trends may be evaluated using a sediment histogram generator program that was written for microcomputers. Flows can be extracted directly from a compact disc...
Integration of GIS, Remote Sensing, and Digital Elevation Data for a Hydrologic Model
The Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Model (AGNPS), which was developed by Agricultural Research Service, was used as a test model for assessing nonpoint source pollution. The model...
