Water Information Available from the U.S. Geological Survey
As a part of the Geological Survey's program of releasing water data to the public, two large-scale computerized systems are maintained. The National Water Data Storage and...

Computers: Water Resources Models in Latin America
Ninety-six national institutions dealing with planning, irrigation, water supply, and hydropower generation in twenty-six Latin American and Caribbean countries were surveyed between February...

Hydraulic Profile Computation Using CADD
The data preparation can also be performed by directly recording onto a computer tape the aerial survey cross section ground points and the field survey work. A computer program can then...

Fate and Transport of Metals in a River System
A steady-state model was developed that describes the fate of metals in a shallow river system. Settling and resuspension of solids were defined through empirical equations relating a...

A Survey of Anaerobic Digester Operations
In 1981, the ASCE Task Committee on Anaerobic Digestion conducted a survey of wastewater treatment plants throughout the country regarding the use of anaerobic digestion. The two-part...

Interagency Coordination in Louisiana's Coastal Zone
The vast, diverse, and fragile coastal wetlands of Louisiana face continual problems, including flooding, shoreline erosion, land loss, destruction by hurricanes, channel dredging, dredge...

Managing Shoreline Changes in the Presence of Nearshore Shoal Migration and Attachment
The purpose of this paper is to describe these events in detail and illustrate the need for better understanding of erosion/deposition patterns around tidal inlets. Periodic beach surveys...

Marine Geological Studies on the Coastal Zone of Kerala
The largest of the estuaries in Kerala, the Vembanad lake formed by the backwater, has been investigated in detail with reference to bathymetry, sediments and geochemistry. A considerable...

The Review of the Comprehensive Survey of the Coastal Zone of China
The purpose of the survey is to provide basic data for coastal zone development of China. The scope of survey is a long narrow belt area alongshore. The contents of the survey include...

Modern and Historic Mapping of Tidal Marshlands of San Francisco Bay, California
In this work, studies were made of two marshland sites shown on the old maps that presently remain subject to tidal action. For each site, historic maps dating from the 1850's were accurately...

Geologic Review: A Successful Procedure for the Minimization of the Impact of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production on Louisiana Wetlands
An effective procedure to minimize the amount of wetlands impacted by oil and gas well access routes has been developed. The procedure consists of a stringent geologic review of every...

Federal Policies in Water Resources Planning
The adequacy of current federal policies and institutional arrangements for water resources planning is assessed. Conclusions and recommendations are presented in five key areas: (1) Water...

Engineering Surveying Manual
This manual is directed at the engineering manager who is responsible for planning and executing engineering projects which require the assistance of specialists in engineering surveying....

Survey of Computer Use in Hydraulics and Hydrology
The surveyed population consists of the 58 member firms of the Consulting Engineers Council of Colorado practicing in the area of water resources. 90 percent of these firms use computers...

Urban Stormwater Investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey
Urban stormwater hydrology studies in the U. S. Geological Survey are currently focused on compilation of national data bases containing flood-peak and short time-interval rainfall, discharge...

Exfiltration Trench Design as Part of a Stormwater Management Plan
The paper discusses a program structured to assist the design consultant or the agency reviewer by means of a menu driven format. A flood routing microcomputer program developed by the...

Computer Management Concepts for Student Engineering
This paper presents many of the principles and concepts being taught to engineers of the future concerning their use of computer related activities. For example, from the cost/risk/benefit...

Encouraging and Controlling Use of Automation
Judicious use of automation can greatly enhance the productivity of an engineering staff. Integration of multiple computing processes with technology such as plotting, digitizing, total...

Shallow Seismic Exploration in Soil Dynamics
Methods of shallow seismic exploration of soils are continually developing and evolving. Advances in techniques and equipment for performing crosshole and downhole tests, new data on interpretation...

Microcomputer Software Support at the State Level
This paper describes a case where the organizational approach to microcomputer control was taken and contrasts the results with optimal individual systems within the group. In this context,...
