New Developments in HEC Programs for Flood Control
Since the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) started in 1964, the evolution has been toward packaged programs that perform a variety of computation options. Two examples are the flood...

Water Infrastructure: Research and Education Needs
Problems with infrastructure have received considerable attention but not much has been written about implications for research and education. Education and research should be aimed at...

The Effect of Storms on Pollution Loading Estimates
A rather extensive field and modeling program is underway in the Sandusky Bay/Nearshore region of Lake Erie and the objective of this paper is to summarize the preliminary results of a...

Traveling Trickler Center Pivot Design
There have been a number of proposals to improve the center pivot irrigation system in order to overcome the inherent inefficiency from high evaporation losses and energy requirements....

Hansen Dam Sediment Modeling Study Impact of Water Supply vs. Flood Control Operational Modes on Sediment Deposition in the Reservoir Area
The analysis of scour and deposition in Hansen Reservoir by modeling the interaction between the water-sediment mixture, sediment material forming the stream's boundary and...

Annual Sediment Loads of Illinois Streams
Incorporation of sedimentation surveys for 24 Illinois lakes was needed to provide somewhat long-term average sediment yields of Illinois streams. For each suspended sediment station a...

Hydraulic Modeling for Ecological Research
Because of the problems and expenses of a continuous data collection program for large rivers, it was decided to develop an integrated hydrodynamic and biological model for the Illinois...

Water Quality and Hydrodynamics in a Shallow Lake
Hydrodynamics and water quality are closely coupled in a shallow lake via horizontal transport and sediment resuspension. The latter process is examined thru modeling and in situ field...

Submerged Vanes for Sediment Control in Rivers
A procedure is developed for a rational design of a system of submerged vanes for depth control in alluvial-river channels. The vanes are vertical, small-aspect ratio foils installed on...

An Optimization Model for Use in Analysis and Design of Wastewater Treatment Systems
The objective of present wastewater treatment plant design is to provide a cost effective processing system for a given waste-water. Generally each of the unit processes is designed to...

Flow and Sediment Transport in Curved Channels with Nonuniform Bed Material
Described is a scheme for controlling the exchange of grain sizes between bed and bed load in a curved alluvial channel. The scheme is an integral part of a model for simulating spatial...

A New Technique for Measuring Fine Sediment Accumulation in Gravel Bed Streams
The collection and analysis of bed material samples has been a standard practice for determining the quantity of fine sediments (less than 3. 4 mm diameter) in stream gravels. However,...

Sediment Intrusion into the Substrate of Gravel Bed Streams
A physically-based model was developed to simulate the intrusion of fine sediments into stream gravel substrates and its effects on intragravel flow. The model is capable of simulating...

Ecological Impacts of Sediment Transport to Tropical Reservoirs
Sediment transport and siltation influence both the longevity and ecology of tropical reservoirs. The sediment load to these systems is typically seasonal and affects ecological processes...

Automated Control for Central Arizona Project Distribution Systems
Computer based automatic control for three extensive open channel water distribution systems is described. Radio telemetry allows a central computer to execute control logic at individual...

Technology Transfer: Consultants and Counterparts
The results of an investigation into the transfer of technical knowledge between and among foreign consultants and their host country counterparts at two large-scale development projects...

Sedimentation at Canal In-Line Structures
This paper describes the procedures used to compute the transport capabilities of existing canals and the process for predicting sediment deposition that will occur at or near the modified...

Modeling Erosion and Sedimentation in Irrigation
Sediment yield and erosion modeling approaches for sprinkler and surface irrigation are discussed. Empirical approaches, such as the ULSE, and other regression approaches and their applicability...

Utopia Under Glass
We stand within sight of the day when our reserves of fossils fuel will be inadequate to maintain the type of energy inefficient cities we have grown used to. This exercise in urban planning...

Highway Infrastructure
Opportunities for Innovation
Our national commitment to financing the rebuilding of America's highway intrastructure represents a very expensive, long term investment. The challenge facing highway engineers...
