Modeling Branching Irrigation Canal Networks
A mathematical model of branching canal network has been developed based on solving the integrated form of Saint Venant equations which describing steady and unsteady, uniform and non-uniform...
A Stochastic-Conceptual Reservoir Inflow Forecasting Model
The development of a method to improve real-time forecasting of reservoir inflows for the purpose of minimizing water loss through spillage is presented. Streamflow forecasts are computed...
Application of a Stochastic Hydrology Model
This paper presents the development and application of a multi-site, multi-season stochastic hydrology model for the Sacramento Valley portion of the Central Valley of California. The...
Algorithms for Automatic Control of Diversion Dams
The application of local automatic control for the releases from a diversion dam that has intermittent river inflow is limited. For this case, it is better to install a remote monitoring...
Physical and Chemical Data Needs for Design
The problems and deficiencies in the existing characterisation and evaluation of urban stormwater runoff quality are examined through discussion of adopted and proposed design criteria...
Integrated Operation of the Ottawa River System
Several years ago, an integrated operating process was developed in response to specific problems on the Ottawa River. The operating process involves several public-sector organizations...
Numerical Modeling of Groundwater-Lake Systems
Groundwater inflows can have important effects on the chemistry and biology of a lake ecosystem. For example, studies of lakes in Northern Wisconsin documented localization of ferromanganese...
Elimination of Tidal Inflow?Bridgeport, CT
Using a program of sewer gauging, chloride sampling, sewer system analysis and treatment plant record review, it was determined that Bridgeport's old tide gates allowed 19...
Conveyance Losses Due to Reservoir Releases
Three natural streams in Wyoming were studied in order to estimate incremental conveyance losses associated with incremental increases in stream flow. For each study area, all surface...
Estimating Transmission Losses
Infiltration or transmission losses in ephemeral stream channels are an important part of the water balance in arid and semiarid regions. The governing equations for movement of flood...
Streamflow Losses in the Santa Cruz River, Arizona
The discharge and volume of flow in a peak decrease as the peak moves through an 89-mile (143 km) reach of the Santa Cruz River. An average of three peaks per year flow the length of the...
Financial Management for an Engineering Firm
The CEO usually delegates the responsibility for financial management to the Chief Financial Officer who, in turn, selects from an array of management techniques to control costs, revenues,...
Discs Reduce Manhole Infiltration
The Department of Public Works for New Castle County, Del., conducted a study of infiltration at their over 30,000 sanitary sewer manholes. The study indicated that up to 60% of their...
