Task Committee on Transport Processes at the Interface of Water Column and Bottom Sediment
The Task Committee on Transport Processes at the Interface of Water Column and Bottom Sediment was formed on October 1, 1989 under the Technical Committee on Hydrologic Transport and Dispersion...

Soluble Pollutant Enrichment in Snow Covers
A mathematical model is presented to simulate enrichment of soluble pollutants in snow covers. The model is based on the liquid water flow, heat transport, and pollutant transport equations....

CORMIX2: Expert System for Multiport Diffuser Discharges
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a series of software systems for the analysis, prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into watercourses,...

Identification Techniques for Bank Erosion and Failure Processes
The Hydraulics Laboratory of the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) has developed techniques to design small flood-control channels. A component of this research is the...

Optimal Design of Highway Drainage Structures
Hydraulic design of a bridge or culvert using a risk-based approach is to choose among the alternatives the one associated with the least total expected cost. In this paper, the risk-based...

Conservativeness in Hydraulic Engineering Studies
Hydraulic engineers routinely make a variety of assumptions during the course of a study. Assumptions, once made, usually become incorporated into the fabric of the study and are seldom...

The Sediment Weighted Histogram Generator and Estimation of Sediment Transport Trends
Long term sediment transport trends may be evaluated using a sediment histogram generator program that was written for microcomputers. Flows can be extracted directly from a compact disc...

Integration of GIS, Remote Sensing, and Digital Elevation Data for a Hydrologic Model
The Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Model (AGNPS), which was developed by Agricultural Research Service, was used as a test model for assessing nonpoint source pollution. The model...

Status and New Capabilities of Computer Program HEC-6: Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs
Last year the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) and the Waterways Experiment Center (WES) incorporated the results from more than ten years of research and development into a new version...

Application of the Ackers-White Procedure for Transport by Size Fractions and Testing in HEC-6
Modification of the Ackers-White method for the calculation of sediment transport by size fractions has led to a procedure which not only permits such calculations, but also increases...

Municipal Stormwater Management Ordinance Development and Implementation in Pennsylvania
This paper discusses the critical planning and engineering components of a sound stormwater management ordinance and how they can be shaped to avoid commonly encountered basin-wide implementation...

An Expert Advisor for Selective Withdrawal Operations
A rule-based computational advisor that aids in the selection of selective withdrawal operations for project release temperature maintenance is discussed. This advisor couples a one-dimensional...

Development of a Computer Aided Decision Process for Channel Rehabilitation and Watershed Enhancement Techniques
To assist the engineer in planning and design of channel stabilization measures, an expert system (CADWET) was developed using a commercially available expert system shell program. The...

Use of Linear Programming for Hydraulics Problems
Water is becoming a more and more precious commodity worldwide with each passing day. At the same time, the optimum and most productive solutions to water control and utilization are becoming...

Equivalence Between Regular and Irregular Waves in Movable-Bed Models
Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate various irregular wave parameters to determine which provides the best match for the regular wave parameter used to develop design guidance....

Pump Selection Program and a Better User Interface
Numerous highly innovative computer solutions to engineering problems are of little use to the practicing engineer because these programs are not supported by adequate user interface....

The Equivalence of Path and Node Methods for Water Distribution Network Analysis
This paper deals with the equivalence between commonly employed methods, path and node adjustment methods, for analyzing water distribution networks. The basic equations for steady-state...

Coronarization of the Autonomous Water pump
The conventional hydraulic pressure multiplier has been successfully used by Belgian technician Robert Houman (1986) to provide a dependable source of water supply to the NATO-base at...

Performance Test of Some Selected Sediment Transport Formulas
Performance of some selected sediment transport formulas was tested using a parameter-sensitivity analysis and a series of numerical experiments with an imaginary channel data. Selection...

River Sediment Discharge Study?San Diego Region
Procedures and general results are presented of a recent study performed to estimate the average annual sediment delivery (sand sizes and larger) from sources discharging to the southern...
