Contaminant Loading from Fox River to Lower Green Bay
The heavily industrialized lower reach of the Fox River, downstream of the DePere Dam, and lower Green Bay, Lake Michigan, are modeled. Hydrodynamics and contaminant transports to the...

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Pollutant Transport
A numerical model for pollutant transport in coastal waters has been developed in x-y-z-t space. The simplicity of a fixed Eulerian mesh and a computationally efficient Lagrangian approach...

Model Comparisons of Oyster Recruitment in Delaware Bay
A second order particle trajectory model using surface currents from a three-dimensional model of Delaware Bay was run for a period equivalent to the larval stage of the oyster C. virginica...

Data-Collection Program for Pamlico River Estuary Model Calibration and Validation
An investigation is being conducted to collect and interpret continuous records relating to the flow characteristics of the Pamlico River Estuary, North Carolina, and to calibrate and...

Recent Progress on Hydrodynamic Modeling of San Francisco Bay, California
A hydrodynamic modeling study of the effects of freshwater inflow on circulation and mixing in San Francisco Bay has been underway since 1985. This paper describes the multidimensional...

Comparison of Computed and Observed Velocities at Three Estuarine Sites
The Generalized, Longitudinal-Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport model (GLVHT) has been applied to the Patuxent River estuary, the Raritan River Estuary and the Arthur Kill. The applications...

Multidisciplinary Hydrologic Investigations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Future climatic conditions and tectonic processes have the potential to cause significant changes of the hydrologic system in the southern Great Basin, where a nuclear-waste repository...

Water Resources: How Do We Slice the Pie?
New and better ways must be found to: reduce water consumption; preserve environmental values; conserve and protect existing water supplies; use surface and ground water conjunctively;...

A Method for Estimating Peak Flows from Small Agricultural Watersheds
An attempt was made to develop a method for estimating peak runoff from agricultural watersheds by analyzing precipitation and runoff data, and incorporating the results into a procedure...

Impact of Urbanization on Main Stream Flooding
The methodology, results and management implications of a stormwater study at an urban watershed experiencing increasing episodes of flooding along the main channel and flood plain are...

Finite Element Analysis of Hillslope Variations in Surface Runoff
Watershed management decisions are aided through an accurate understanding of hydrologic processes. The finite element method applied to surface runoff with spatially variable hydraulic...

Asymptotic Determination of Curve Numbers from Rainfall?Runoff Data
Background, general instructions, and examples are given for determining Runoff Curve Numbers (CN) from small watershed event rainfall and direct runoff data sets. In order to preserve...

Rangeland Evaluation of WEPP Hydrology
The hydrology component of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) utilizes the W.H. Green and G.A. Ampt infiltration equation to simulate the rate and volume of excess rainfall. Excess...

Microwave Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture Applied to Hydrologic Modeling
Recent advances in microwave remote sensing have demonstrated the ability to measure soil moisture under a variety of topographic and vegetation cover conditions; however, its application...

Glacial Icemelt in the Wind River Range, Wyoming
The Wind River Range of Wyoming contains the greatest concentration of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains with two of the larger glaciers being Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers. This...

Possible Climate Change and Its Impact on Snowmelt and Water Supply in California
Global climate modelers are forecasting relatively large future climate change, with warming of 2 to 5?C. These changes, if they do occur, would have major impacts on California's...

Snow Fencing to Increase Streamflow on Rangelands
Snow deposition and water yield were increased 55% and 127% respectively, and duration of surface runoff was lengthened 17 days in response to snow fencing a sagebrush-covered watershed...

Method to Predict Cropland Ephemeral Gully Erosion
Erosion of farmlands due to concentrate flow is very severe on many unprotected fields across the county. Small channels can you in large gullies of not controlled. These small channels...

Application of RUSLE to Rangelands
The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) has been revised to more accurately estimate soil loss from both crop and rangeland areas. Major revisions affecting rangeland soil loss estimates...

Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) Watershed Model: Hydrologic and Erosion Calculations
The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) watershed model is a distributed continuous simulation model developed to compute the spatial and temporal distribution of erosion and deposition...
