Evaluation of the Water Supply Potential of the Floridian Aquifer in Seminole County, Florida
In Seminole County, Florida, a occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s due to a large influx of residents. This large increase in demand, when coupled with a limited groundwater supply,...
Predicting Hydrologic Impacts of a Severe and Sustained Drought on the Colorado River Basin
We investigated the impacts of a severe and sustained drought (SSD) on the hydrology of the Colorado River Basin. The simulation was carried out using the Colorado River Network (CORN)...
A Gaming Analysis of Drought-Coping Policy Options
Eight persons, representing the seven Colorado River Basin state and the Secretary of the Interior, managed a severe, sustained drought in the basin. The drought was portrayed by a simulation...
Economic Impacts of Severe and Sustained Drought
A hydrologic-economic-legal impact model shows that a severe and sustained drought in the Colorado River Basin would cause acute economic damages to most instream water users, and to upper...
The Law of the Colorado River: Can It Cope With Severe Sustained Drought?
This paper analyzes the Law of the River from the perspective of its effect on allocation decisions in the event of a long term, severe drought. The analysis is organized in a manner familiar...
Missouri River Economic Impacts Model
The Missouri River basin recently (1987-1992) experienced a drought that affected project uses and environmental resources. This drought and the need to address changes that have occurred...
Missouri River Master Manual Review and Update
The Missouri River Master Water Control Manual (Master Manual) presents the basic water control plan and objectives for the integrated operation of the six mainstem reservoirs in conjunction...
Development and Application of Long Range Study (LRS) Model for Missouri River System
The Long Range Study (LRS) Model is a simulation model developed in the 1960's develop and test criteria for operation of the Missouri River mainstem reservoirs through an extended period...
Missouri River Recreation Economic Analysis
The Missouri River main stem lakes and downstream river reaches encompass about 1900 river miles from the mouth at St. Louis, Missouri, to the headwaters of Fort Peck Lake in Montana....
Development of Missouri River Navigation Analysis
The navigation analysis for the Master Manual review examined mainstem reservoir regulation alternatives by evaluating the benefits of reservoir releases for barge transportation. Navigation...
Channel Stabilization and Retrofit
In 1990 King County Surface Water Management Division completed the Soos Creek Basin Plan. This basin was one of the most rapidly developing areas in the State of Washington. The goal...
Reusable Water Exhange Modeling
Wastewater return flows of raw water which is reusable, i.e., water which is entirely consumable, can be exchanged for a like amount of water upstream in the river basin. Exchanged water...
Development of Fisheries Models for the Missouri River System
This paper describes how the value of fisheries resources under various Missouri River operating alternatives was determined. The four fish communities evaluated were the reservoir cool/warm...
Development of a Wetland/Riparian Resource Model for the Missouri River System
Wetlands and riparian areas are significant resources along the Missouri River, providing important fish and wildlife habitat. These resources required evaluation as part of the review...
Missouri River Least Tern and Piping Plover Model Development
As part of the update of the Missouri River Master Water Control Manual, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is evaluating the effects of numerous water management alternatives on endangered...
Development of Environmental Impacts Model for Missouri River System
The Corp of Engineers is reviewing the Missouri River Master Water Control Manual with the goal of determining the best plan for the Missouri River Basin. The Environmental Impacts Model...
Tug Fork Flood Plain Modifications and Wetlands Mitigation
The West Virginia Department of Highways (WVDOH) is using a two stage channel excavation concept to mitigate the hydraulic impacts of relocating U.S. Route 119. The selected highway alignment...
