Dynamic Analysis of Multi-Pool Irrigation Canal
This paper discusses the dynamic characteristics of an open multi-pool irrigation canal from robustness point of view. In particular, the presence of right-half plane zeros in an open...

Grade Control Structures for Pipeline Crossings in the Arid Southwest
Pipeline crossings at streams, rivers, and washes are at risk due to bed and bank erosion in the river environment. Buried pipelines may be exposed in the channel bottom by scour of bed...

Successful Implementation of Grouted Boulder Grade Control Structures on Drainageways in the Denver Metropolitan Area
This paper describes the development of design guidelines for the Grouted Sloping Boulder drop structure as an alternative for the sloping riprap drop structure. A number of partial failures...

Groundwater Remediation Design When Pretty Good is Good Enough
This paper introduces some new approaches toward the optimal design of groundwater remediation systems or any other engineered systems. These new approaches primarily consist of making...

Liability of Engineers When Wetlands Laws Change
Engineers who perform wetlands delineations or design facilities in wetlands areas are increasingly sued in court when wetlands laws or regulations change. Owners and developers whose...

White River Fish Screen Project Planning and Design
In 1983, Puget Sound Power and Light Company (Puget Power) submitted a license application to FERC for the overall White River Project. One of the elements of the project application was...

1995: Where the Past (Paleoflood Hydrology) Meets the Present, Understanding Maximum Flooding
Paleoflood hydrology has become accepted in the scientific, engineering, and regulatory communities and increasingly is being used to complement engineering hydrology throughout the Rocky...

Scour Study for Bridge Design on Temecula Creek
Channel-bed scour was studiedfor the proposed new Pala Road Bridge on Temecula Creek in Riverside County, California. In order to determine the general scour, sediment transport and potential...

Salinity and Hydraulic Issues at a Constructed Wetlands
A constructed wetlands at Boulder City, Nevada was designed to use effluent pumped from the City's wastewater treatment plant. The design was complicated by the highly permeable...

Design of Riparian Habitat Replacement in Active Floodplains
Conventional flood control engineering techniques and approaches that have been traditionally been applied are now challenged by the public and no longer readily available as floodplain...

Overview of the US Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control Channels Research Program
The objective of the Flood Control Channels Research Program, currently being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, is to develop design guidance and systematic...

Bridge Hydraulic and Scour Analysis Using FESWMS-2DH
Stream crossings are usually designed to satisfy all engineering and enviromnental constraints at the lowest possible cost. As a result, roadway approach embankments leading to bridge...

Using HEC-RAS to Compute Scour at Bridges
HEC-RAS (River Analysis System) is an integrated system of software, designed for interactive use in a multi-tasking environment. The system is comprised of a graphical user interface...

Application of Regime Theory in Practice: A Case Study
Alluvial channels are known to adjust their slope, width, depth and velocity to achieve stable conditions given a supply of water and sediment. Scientific investigations of stable channels...

Managing Border Irrigation for Near-Zero Discharge
A dimensionless database of previously executed simulations of sloping-border irrigation with tailwater runoff constitutes the heart of design-aid software showing the effects on runoff...

Design of the Inlet/Outlet Tower for the Eastside Reservoir Project
The Eastside Reservoir is currently being constructed near Hemet, California, by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. When completed in 1999, water will enter and be...

Reduction of Downstream Impacts Through Use of Variable Detention Basin Volume Requirements
The Pre-post Match is the standard policy for regulating the design of detention basins for new developments despite evidence showing that as multiple developments occur in a watershed,...

Emerging Concepts for Management of Salinity and Drainage in Irrigated Regions
The purpose of this paper is to very briefly highlight some physical and design concepts important to management of salinity and drainage in irrigated regions in an environmentally sensitive...

Hydraulic Design of Subsurface Flow Wetlands
Although Subsurface Flow Wetlands (SFW) have received steadily increasing international attention during the past 10 to 15 years, comprehensive design criteria are not available for some...

Studies on the Erosion of a Compacted Soil
In the management of water there are certain applications in which compacted soil is used (i.e., dams, embankments, levees, spiliways, and channels). Engineers rely primarily on field...
