Both international and domestic construction markets are changing and forcing changes in construction technology. These proceedings contain six papers from an ASCE technical session on...

The Effect of Seeding on Convective Cells in West Texas
The effect on convective cells of randomized seeding for dynamic effects in the Southwest Cooperative Program is addressed. Analysis of three-dimensional, volume-scan, radar data using...

Evaluation of Infiltration Equations Used in Surface Irrigation
Computer simulations of an irrigation event were conducted using 6 full hydrodynamic models. All 6 models used the same surface flow equations and a different infiltration component. The...

Furrow Irrigation Performance Using Real Time Control
Computer simulations were conducted, using a simple feedback control algorithm, to determine the potential for improvement of irrigation performance using real-time feedback control. Field...

Needed Social, Cultural and Design Changes to Successfully Manage Nigerian Surface Irrigated Projects
The aim of this paper is to illustrate the broad nature of problems associated with the faulty initial designs of water distribution network and irrigation methods and poor participartion...

A Method for `Warped Surface' Land Forming Design
Most approaches to land forming are based on a plane surface design which in some cases may result in prohibitive costs or excessive removal of top soil....

Computer Spreadsheet Applications to Small Site Drainage Engineering
The computer spreadsheet provides the drainage engineer with a simple, efficient, and adaptable tool for modeling drainage engineering problems. Engineering applications include runoff...

Diagnostic Strategies of an Expert System for Simulating Snowmelt Runoff
An expert system, EXSRM, is being developed for an existing and well tested snowmelt runoff model. The expert system assists an unfamiliar user in setting up the model to run and then...

A Comprehensive Tool for Tile Drainage Planning
The objective of the project is to design and develop a set of software tools, building on existing models and computer-assisted procedures, known as an Advanced Decision Support System...

Dam Seepage Analysis Using Artificial Intelligence
The paper discusses an interactive advanced decision support system (ADSS) which is being applied to analyzing seepage from embankment dams. The development of a prototype knowledge base,...

Verification of an Agricultural Land Drainage Model
An agricultural land drainage simulation model was tested under field conditions. The model was found to have several errors. Some of these errors were corrected and the model was tested...

Personal Consultant Series a Step by Step Guide
The paper discusses the Texas Instruments' Personal Consultant Series of expert system development tools, a versatile set of compatible tools for the expert system developer....

A Portable Bowen Ratio System for ET Measurements
The AZET system developed at the University of Arizona is designed to measure evapotranspiration (ET) in arid zone environments, using the Bowen ratio model. The system consists of a set...

Bulk Stomatal Resistance in Operational Estimates of Evapotranspiration
General relationships for estimating canopy or bulk stomatal resistance and aerodynamic resistances of grass and alfalfa reference crops for use in the Penman-J.L. Monteith equation are...

Crop Irrigation Requirement Model for Utah
Crop irrigation requirements vary greatly across Utah's wide range of climatic conditions. About 40 electronic weather stations have been established in areas representing...

Collection, Quality Control and Dissemination of Weather Data for Irrigation and Other Operations in an Automated Setting
High technology has made it possible to completely automate the collection of weather data. Care must be taken in designing the automated system to generalize the software components thereby...

Irrigation Scheduling Using Voice Synthesis, the Next Logical Step
