Health Risk Sensitivity to Variable and Uncertain Parameters
A methodology is presented that attempts to quantify the effects of individual variability and parameter uncertainty in a groundwater-driven health risk assessment. Two modeling approaches...

The Balanced Indigenous Population (BIP) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) in Marine Pollution Ecology
This account discusses the regulatory requirement of maintaining a Balanced Indigenous Population (BIP) as it relates to an ocean outfall. A brief history of the development of the BIP...

Looking for Evidence of Climatic Change in Streamflow Time Series
The principle of stationarity of a streamflow time series has been very commonly assumed in the analysis of hydrologic time series. Some common types of non-stationarity in time series,...

Watershed Characteristics and Hydrological Parameters vs. Sediment Yield?Northern Regions of Pakistan
In order to manage, restore, or effectively maintain a watershed it is necessary to know what is really going on inside that watershed, which includes the effects of watershed and hydrological...

Identifying Trends from Streamflow Records?A Case Study
Historical streaniflow records for the Ruby River, in southwestern Montana were analyzed for trends and for changes in the precipitation-runoff relationship. Trends were first identified...

Hysteresis Effect of Karst Vadose Zone in Spring Kr5, Mt. Kr?uterin, Austria
Hysteresis effect is considerable in Spring Kr5, involving a chain of processes of recharge-infiltration-discharge. The lag time of each process to another can be briefly summarized and...

Expected Moments Alogrithms for Flood Frequency Analysis
The Expected Moments Algorithm (EMA) is a new but conceptually simple approach for the treatment of nontraditional data in flood frequency analysis. Nontraditional data includes censored...

Systems for Forecasting Flows and Their Uncertainty
Discussed are design issues of distributed systems for operational flow forecasting. Results of sensitivity analyses are presented which illustrate forecast flow dependence on model discretization...

Application of an Optical Monitor in Automatic Control of Coagulation Dosing in Water Treatment Operations
The feasibility of applying an optical monitor in the automatic control of coagulation was assessed in this study. Prior to simulation testing, a series of batch tests was performed to...

Subcatchment Parameterization for Runoff Modeling Using Digital Elevation Models
Numerical algorithms are presented to estimate the length, width and slope of rectangular planes representing irregularly shaped overland contributing areas defined on raster Digital Elevation...

Developing Parameters for a Quasi-Distributed Runoff Model Using GIS
The widespread availability of radar precipitation data is driving rainfall-runoff modeling from lumped-input to distributed-input methods. As a consequence, model parameterization is...

Selection of Sediment Transport Relations: Part II, Ranges of Dimensionless Numbers
With a large number of sediment transport equations claiming to be applicable within various ranges of hydraulic and sediment parameters, engineers are often faced with the dilemma of...

Quail Creek: A Case Study of Restoration Using Native Materials
Quail Creek, a stream in northern Baltimore County, Maryland, was restored in 1990 using the approach developed by Rosgen to diagnose the problems, and determine the parameters for stable...

Spatial Statistics for Rainfall Forecasts Assessment
Assessments of rainfall forecasts were developed using GIS-based spatial statistical procedures applied to calibrated radar-rainfall fields in central Oklahoma. The overall objective of...

Water Use Recession in San Diego Region
Water use in the San Diego region was studied using historical records collected over a period of a half century. The results indicated that the water use in this region was historically...

3D Flow Structures?From Laboratory to Field Applications
One laboratory experiment and one field application have been modeled. For each one different sources of errors in the model results could be detected. It may be concluded that the applicability...

A Comparison of Sediment Routing Models
In this paper the authors have compared the performance of coupled linear and non-linear methods of solution from these generic types, in order to assess their suitability for use in optimisation...

Calibration of a Water Quality Model Using the Influence Coefficient Algorithm
A methodology based on the influence coefficient algorithm was established for the calibration of QUAL2E reaction coefficients. It was applied to the stream sections of the South Han River...

Derivation of New Dispersion Coefficient Equation for Natural Streams
A new simple method for predicting dispersion coefficient by using hydraulic and geometric data easily obtained in natural streams has been developed. Dimensional analysis was implemented...

Constructor Prequalification
Choosing the Best Constructor and Avoiding Constructor Failure
This comprehensive, practical manual illustrates how owners can evaluate and select constructors for various civil engineering projects using the process of constructor prequalification....
