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...

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...

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...
Regional Wastewater Reuse in the Nueces Estuary
The results of this study indicate that the firm yield lost to the release requirements of the Texas Water Commission Interim Release Order can be recovered by diverting treated wastewater...
Low-Flow Frequency Analysis with Censored Data
Log-linear regression models are often fit to low-flow quantile estimates from gauged sites to obtain a relationship for estimating low-flow quantiles at ungauged sites. In some regions...
A Regional Model of Daily Streamflow for the Northeast United States
A regional flow duration curve (FDC) model is under development which relates daily streamflow at 166 unregulated basins in the northeastern U.S. to watershed and climatic characteristics....
Analysis of Missouri River System Operations Alternatives
The Corps of Engineers is conducting a study of alternative water control plans for the exiting Missouri River Mainstem System. Data on the effects of the alternatives on the various project...
Managing the Russian River Aggregate Resources
