Experiences in Cleaning Up the Influence of Oil Spill on the Water Bodies
Experiences in cleaning up the influence of oil spill on water bodies of Komi Republic (European part of Russian North) and Dagestan Republic (North Caucasus) was generalized. In both...
Bacterial and Chemical Pollution of Littoral Waters of Lake Ohrid at Pogradec?Town Area
The Pogradec shore waters exceed these bacteriological standards and provide risks to the public health. The levels of the chemical indexes clearly show the influence of organic pollution....
Overview of DoD Research in Groundwater Modeling
The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station leads a multi-agency research program for the Department of Defense (DoD) which continues the development of integrated, comprehensive...
Research to Application: Network Models to Simulate Flow and Transport in Heterogeneous Media
Effective groundwater cleanup requires accurate site-specific information on cleanup processes. Numerical simulations limit the need for expensive field experiments and provide details...
Development of Remediation Technologies Simulators
This paper summarizes on.going efforts to develop software for simulating various in situ, subsurface remediation technologies to improve remediation selection, design, and operation....
The DOD Groundwater Modeling System: A Conceptual Model Approach
A suite of new simulation tools have been developed in the version 2.0 of the Department of Defense Groundwater Modeling System (GMS). These add considerable complexity to the GMS which...
Storm Water General Industrial Permit Non-Filers Identification and Outreach
Storm water discharges convey pollutants from urban activities that can impair surface water quality. Industrial facilities have been identified as one source of storm water pollutants...
A California Handbook for Developing an Industrial/Commercial Storm Water Inspection Program
Runoff and non-storm water discharges to storm drains from industrial and commercial businesses can be major causes of storm water pollution in urban areas, but there are sources of this...
Dredging in the Southern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
The California Department of Water Resources and the United States Bureau of Reclamation are jointly conducting an environmental study and are proposing to release a draft Environmental...
Water Quality Impacts of Dredging and Disposal Operations in Boston Harbor
The Massachusetts Port Authority is presently planning a navigation improvement project in the port of Boston, consisting of dredging the 10.7 m (35 ft) deep channels and berths in the...
Best Management Practices and Community Education
The 1987 Water Quality Act requires the permitting of municipal separate storm sewer systems and the reduction by permittees of the discharge of pollutants in stormwater to the maximum...
Management of Stream-Aquifer Systems in the 21st Century
Many water agencies, especially those in the arid and semi-arid southwest of United States rely on stream-aquifer systems for a significant proportion of their water supplies. Wastewater...
Comparison of General vs. Multi Sector NPDES Storm Water Permits
In November 1990, in response to the 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act, the EPA initiated the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permitting program....
The Standley Lake Protection Project
Until recently, there has been no physical separation between potentially contaminated runoff from the former Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant and Standley Lake, the nearby water supply...
Selection of Sediment Transport Relations: Part I, Review of Sediment Transport Comparisons
There are a great number of sediment transport relations in existence in the world today. The engineer is often faced with the problem of choosing the most appropriate relation for the...
Selection of Sediment Transport Relations Part III: Numerical Ranking of Sediment Transport Relations
The emphasis of this paper is the methodology for the selection of sediment transport relations and is applicable for analysis of any sediment transport relation. However, to illustrate...
Distributed Hydrologic Modeling of Humid Regions
Distributed physically-based hydrologic modeling of humid watersheds with shallow soils is complicated by non-Hortonian runoff production mechanisms. This paper presents a numerical experimental...
A Practical Approach to Watershed Sanitary Surveys
A step-by-step approach for conducting watershed sanitary surveys can be successfully applied to watersheds of all sizes. The approach involves preparing a watershed map, contacting regulatory...
Controlling the Impacts of Development on Storm Water Quality through Proper Site Planning and Design
Land development and construction activities can significantly alter drainage patterns, increase runoff peak flow and volume, and contribute pollutants to storm water runoff. Federal and...
Water Quality Mitigation for the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor
The San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor (SJHTC) is a 24 km Design/Build tollway which has been financed with bonds to be paid back with toll revenue. The Environmental Impact Statement...
