On-Site Microcomputer Control of a Combined Sewer Overflow Diversion Structure
This paper describes the design of an inexpensive system for controlling combined sewer overflows using on-site equipment (raingauges, flow gauges, automatic gates, and microcomputers)....

New Developments in HEC Programs for Flood Control
Since the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) started in 1964, the evolution has been toward packaged programs that perform a variety of computation options. Two examples are the flood...

Heppner's User-Friendly Local Flood Warning System
The Heppner, Oregon, local flood warning system uses state-of-the-art technology with event-initiated data transmission, real-time monitoring, and automatic evaluation and notification....

Verification of a Supply Reliability Model
Three versions of an analytical model for estimating the reliability of a water supply system including capacity components and small amounts of finished water storage are presented. Simplifying...

Model for Optimal-Risk Based Water Distribution Network Design
Various models using a variety of optimization techniques were developed for determining pipe diameters, network layout, pump capacities, and other design parameters. The objective function...

Coupling of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models
Long term, multi-dimensional water quality modeling in estuaries and coastal embayments using a directly linked hydrodynamic and water quality model can be prohibitively expensive. In...

The Effect of Storms on Pollution Loading Estimates
A rather extensive field and modeling program is underway in the Sandusky Bay/Nearshore region of Lake Erie and the objective of this paper is to summarize the preliminary results of a...

Lagrangian-Eulerian Approach to Modeling Contaminants
A Lagrangian-Eulerian modeling approach predicts potential contaminant distributions resulting from the disposal of sewage sludge at the Deepwater Municipal Disposal Site off the northeast...

A Unified Hydrodynamic-Water Quality Model
To understand the cause-effect relationships controlling water quality in dynamically narrow estuaries, a time dependent branching, laterally averaged (longitudinal and vertical) hydrodynamic...

NID Water Supply and Hydropower Operation Model
A basic requirement of CH2M HILL's Raw Water Master Plan for Nevada Irrigation District (NID) was to determine the dependable water supply available from the District's...

Multivariate Modeling of Hydrological Time Series for Generation of Reservoir Operating Rules
A multivariate model and a disaggregation model are used in this study to generate annual and monthly time series of streamflow data for multiple sites. The parameters of the models are...

Reservoir System Simulation Through Network Flow Programming
A generalized reservoir system simulation model that makes use of a network flow programming technique has been developed for use in planning and operation studies of multi-purpose water...

Optimal Weekly Operation of a System of Three Multipurpose Reservoirs
Marion, Council Grove, and John Redmond Lakes located in the Upper Neosho-Cottonwood River basin are an integral part of the State Water Marketing Program of Kansas. In addition to water...

Engineering and Policymaking: The Platte River in Nebraska
Substantial conflict exists over proposed water projects in the Platte River Basin of Nebraska. A computer simulation model, representing the engineering and environmental dimensions of...

Modeling to Generate Alternatives: A Review
Modeling to generate alternatives (MGA) is a species of multiobjective programming in which some relevant objectives and perhaps some constraints are deliberately left unquantified. The...

Integrating Policy Factors in Stream-Aquifer Models
One of the main issues appearing today in the field of water resources is the management of complex hydrologic systems consisting of surface streams and aquifers. The management problem...

Hansen Dam Sediment Modeling Study Impact of Water Supply vs. Flood Control Operational Modes on Sediment Deposition in the Reservoir Area
The analysis of scour and deposition in Hansen Reservoir by modeling the interaction between the water-sediment mixture, sediment material forming the stream's boundary and...

Unique Flood and Drainage Problems in Los Angeles
Storm drainage for the coastal cities has to traverse highly used sandy recreational beaches. Due to new requirements on the construction of storm drains to the ocean, a beach outlet has...

Modification of the Step Drawdown Test for Pump Selection
This paper suggests a slightly modified mathematical model for pump tests whose aim is to design the correct pump for a well. The advantage of the model presented is that it incorporates...

A 2-D Model for the Guaiba Estuary (Brazil)
On the northeastern edge of the Guaiba is Porto Alegre, with more than 1 million inhabitants. A navigation channel through the Guaiba Estuary and the Patos Lagoon links the city to the...
