Water Resources Applications of OCAP--Ohio's CNRIS
The Ohio Capability Analysis Program (OCAP) is a computer-based natural resources information system (CNRIS) operated since 1973 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The three...
Geographic Information Systems: A Planning Tool
Geographic Information Systems provide an opportunity for water resource planners to examine potential impacts of proposed plans early in the study process. Conflicts can be identified...
Storage Projection for Reservoir Systems
Two methods are studied for determining the probability distribution of future levels of storage in a reservoir system: transient analysis and Gould's probability matrix method....
Analysis of Drinking Water Systems: A Spatial Approach
This paper describes recent examples of spatial analyses as (1) a unifying concept for allocation of costs to various elements of water treatment and delivery; (2) a link and node (Network)...
Automated Data Monitoring for Disaster Prevention
A system is now available from International Hydrological Services for use on micro-computers that will provide real-time environmental monitoring, analysis, forecasting and control. This...
Reliability of Urban Water Supply Reservoir System
Assessment of the reliability, or risk of failure, of water supply reservoirs is dependent on several factors including reservoir volume, probability of dam failure and drought inflows....
Modeling Contaminant Fate and Transport in Ground Water Systems
Determination of the fate and transport of contaminants in subsurface environments has been aided by recent advances in our understanding of ground water hydrodynamics and subsurface solute...
Modeling a Water Distribution System
Problems encountered in modeling the water distribution system for the City of Norwich, NY are discussed and the procedures used to solve each problem are described. The interpretation...
A Case Study - Toms River Water Company, Toms River, New Jersey
Toms River Water Company provides water service to Dover Township, the Borough of South Toms River and portions of Berkeley Township, all in Ocean County, New Jersey. Existing supply facilities...
Complications in the Design and Analysis of Small Water Distribution Systems
The design and operation of small treatment and distribution networks can sometimes be more complicated than the design of large metropolitan systems. More often than not, the use of standard...
Water System Model Brought Improvements in System Performance
Analysis of the hydraulic conditions of a multi-pressure zone water system serving portions of two counties in a mountainous region of Southwest Virginia was performed using computerized...
Getting Information Via Computer: Some Basics
Information is a most important resource for water resource professionals. The combination of the computer and the telephone has established a new avenue to acquire information. One directory...
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...
The National Ground Water Information Center Data Base
The Research Institute, Education Foundation and Publishing Company of the National Water Well Association have long been considered information central for the world's community of hydrogeologists....
Computer Applications for Real-Time Operation of Water Distribution Systems
This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in computer assisted real-time operation of water distribution systems. It first examines the reasons and justification for installing computer...
Time Series Analysis of Hourly Domestic Water Demand
Design flows for water supply and sanitary sewer systems are chosen by rules of thumb in the absence of actual data. This research develops two stochastic models of water demand by analyzing...
Water Use Forecasting and Evaluating the Effects of Conservation Measures
The City of Austin, Texas, instituted mandatory restrictions on water use during a summer drought in 1984 when water use levels beyond 150 million gallons per day stressed the city's...
Incorporating Graphics in Water Distribution Analysis
One area that has currently been receiving attention is the presentation of hydraulic analysis results utilizing computer graphics to display pipe network and pressure values in graphical...
Water Quality Modeling of Distribution Systems
Computer modeling of hydraulic conditions in distribution systems has been widely applied over the past decade for design and operation of systems. Conversely, little attention has been...
Adapting a Pipe Network Analysis Computer Program
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) has developed a mathematical simulation model for a key portion of its distribution system. A representative portion...
