Optimal Muskingum River Routing
The Muskingum method of river routing is well established and frequently used. An attempt is made to improve the method by optimal selection of the model parameters. The common linear...
Ground-Water Flow Model of Soda-Ash Waste Beds
A recent application by a steel manufacturing plant to obtain a permit for an industrial landfill located on top of abandoned soda-ash waste beds in the City of Syracuse, New York, resulted...
Simultaneous Withdrawal of Saline/Fresh Waters in a Stratified Aquifer
The objective of this study is to develop computational tools for simulating the flow behavior of an aquifer in response to simultaneous pumping of two stratified fluids from both sides...
The National Water Well Association's Ground Water Software Centre
The National Water Well Association (NWWA) offers a new service to the members of the ground water industry. NWWA's Ground Water Software Centre markets computer programs...
Microcomputer Application in Predicting Upland Erosion
An erosion-deposition model, originally developed for a mainframe computer, was adapted for an Apple IIe. With minimal adjustment it can also be used on other personal microcomputers....
The SRI Technique for Flood Frequency Analysis
This paper presents a technique for flood flow frequency analysis called the Storm Response Index (SRI), and a case study using the technique. The SRI method is based on the development...
Conjunctive Use/Sustained Groundwater Yield Design
Assuring the sustained availability of groundwater from all parts of an aquifer system is analagous to assuring that the potentiometric surface does not change over the long term. Such...
Regional Target Level Modification for Groundwater Quality
A procedure for modifying an optimal regional potentiometric surface designed solely on the basis of quantitative considerations, is described. These modifications are based on quality...
Evaluating Water Policy Options by Simulation
Computer simulation models are used to predict the effects of three sample water policy decisions on selected conjunctive water use/sustained groundwater yield strategies for the Arkansas...
Indoor Air Quality Simulations with the Mass Balance Model
Recent studies relate energy conservation measures, specifically to reduction of the air exchange rate of residences, with potential adverse health effects due to human exposure to increased...
Modeling Aromatic Compound Transport in Groundwater
Research results are presented from an ongoing study directed at obtaining a better understanding of the factors affecting the binding characteristics of organic chemicals to ground water...
Groundwater Studies for Land Treatment Facility
A wastewater treatment facility currently under construction in Falmouth, Massachusetts, features a dual disposal method for land application of effluent. As the effluent disposal site...
Simplified Methods to Predict the Fate of Metals in Rives
Heavy metal contamination of rivers is of increasing concern to society. To help predict the fate of metals in rivers, researchers have developed computer models to simulate speciation...
NCASI Enhancements of the QUAL-II Model
The mathematical water quality model QUAL-II has been modified to reflect advances in the understanding of algal, nutrient, and light interactions. Code changes were also made to incorporate...
Computer Simulation of Lime-Soda Softening of Cooling Waters
A computer model is developed to simulate the process of lime-soda softening of cooling waters. Results from the model are compared with those from a laboratory experimental study using...
A New Approach to Activated Sludge Plant Design
Activated sludge plants are designed on the basis of stationary tests at laboratory scale for constant organic loads and constant input flows. From these tests the kinetic parameters are...
Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of Single-Activated Sludge
The objective of this paper is to discuss the results of operating a laboratory bench scale compartmentalized activated sludge unit operated at a hydraulic detention time ( theta ) of...
Integrated Assessment of the Acid Deposition Problem
To perform fully integrated assessments of the acid deposition problem it is necessary to combine models of all major aspects of the problem, including emissions, atmospheric transport,...
Three-Dimensional Simulation of Flow and Sewage Effluent Migration in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington
The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of a proposed sewage effluent discharge located in the Strait of Juan de Fuca just outside of Sequim Bay, Washignton. The three-dimensional,...
Geothermal Salt Recovery From Evaporating Ponds
The water from geothermal reservoir 'Los Azufres' in Michoacan, Mexico, is characterized by its high content of chloride, silica, borum and arsenic. Due to the...
