SWMM Application in Indian River County, Florida
The EPA's Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was used to simulate drainage canal system network within Indian River County, Florida. Runoff and Extran module of the PCSWMM...

Modeling Variations in Soil Moisture and Streamflow Resulting from Climatic and Land Use Changes
A distributed parameter watershed model IWASCH has been developed to simulate variation in soil moisture and baseflow conditions for agricultural areas in Illinois, resulting from climatic...

Application of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models at a Superfund Site in Montana
The water quality model applied to the site is the EPA-supported hydrodynamic and water quality model WASP4 with a modification to enable it to better simulate riverine systems. To provide...

A Branched Hydrodynamic Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
A new and efficient hydrodynamic model is used to simulate flows in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The model solves the one-dimensional shallow water equations for flow...

An Ongoing Investigation of Residual Suspended Material Transport in Central San Francisco Bay, CA
A study of suspended material transport in San Francisco Bay, California, is presently underway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paper describes preliminary numerical model and...

Models vs. Methods in Urban Drainage Calculation
This paper summarizes the findings of a recent study at Penn State aimed at recommended hydrologic techniques for small developing watersheds. The specific desk-top methods investigated...

Comparison of Tenn-V and TR-55 on TVA Watersheds
The storm hydrograph simulation models TENN-V and TR-55 were compared as to their respective abilities to reproduce 468 storms observed on 54 watersheds. TR-55 did not represent the Tennessee...

Estimating Urban Flood-Frequency Characteristics
Methods in use by the U.S. Geological Survey to estimate flood-frequency characteristics for urban watersheds are compared with estimates based on the Soil Conservation Service TR-55 model....

Urban Watershed Data for the United States
The contents of an urban watershed data base compiled for a national urban flood-frequency study by the U.S. Geological Survey are described. The data base includes information for 269...

Probability of Extreme Precipitation by Months
Daily rainfall records during the months of October through April at rainfall gaging stations near the Kings River drainage basin in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of central California were...

Model Study of New Bonneville Lock
The filling and emptying system of the New Bonneville Lock was designed by the US Army Engineer District, Portland. The lock will be 86 ft wide by 675 ft long, with a design lift of 69.5...

Model Study of Potential Debris Problems at the Proposed Diversion of Clover Fork River, Harlan, Kentucky
A study was conducted at the Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi, using a physical and a numerical model, to evaluate the entrance conditions at a proposed tunnel diversion...

Extreme Flood Probability Estimates in Practice
Selecting the safety design flood for a dam or siting structures where flooding would cause severe social or economic disruption requires balancing the likelihood and consequences of failure...

Hydrologic Implications of Global Warming on Water Resources in California
The possible effects of climate change on the water resources of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin, as predicted by general circulation models (GCM's) were evaluated...

Climate Change and U.S. Water Resources: Results from a Study by the American Association for Advancement of Science
The time horizon of the changes that might occur is similar to the time required for planning, approval, funding, construction and economic life of such major water facilities as dams,...

Effects of Climate Change on Watershed Runoff
This paper examines forecasts of changes in watershed runoff in the Delaware River basin that result from a range of predicted effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂)...

Simulation of Precipitation by Weather-Type Analysis
A new approach that uses weather-type analysis as a basis for stochastic precipitation modeling was developed and tested for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The weather types permit the identification...

Effects of Runoff Changes and Sea Level Rise on Salinity in the Delaware River Estuary
The objective of this study is to investigate changes in the spatial distribution of salt in the Delaware Estuary resulting from climate induced changes in freshwater inflows and in the...

Impact of Risk-Based Analysis on Hydrologic Design Practices
This paper provides a brief review of the current hydrologic design practices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for safety inspection of dams and the current hydrologic design...

Hydraulic Design of Mud Mountain Dam Outlet Works Modifications
Mud Mountain Dam is a single-purpose flood control project located on the White River in western Washington State. The existing flood control outlet works consist of an upstream controlled...
