Using Role Analysis for Instream Flow Negotiations
Improved understanding of multi-agency decisionmaking has been called for but is rarely achieved, partially because there is no well known, broadly accepted technique for conducting an...
Methods and Applications of Numerical Hydrology on a Drainage Basin
A model is presented here (MOMID) to study, having considered a morphological base of the drainage basin, the unit hydrogram and the routing time along the basin itself....
Channel Entrenchment Along the Post Creek Cutoff in Southern Illinois
The Post Creek Cutoff was constructed in 1915 by the Cache River Drainage Commission to divert flow from the Upper Cache River to the Ohio River. The construction of the cutoff reduced...
Land Drainage and Estuarine Salinity Response
An investigation is being conducted to (1) quantify the short-term effects of freshwater agricultural drainage on salinity in a tidal creek and (2) evaluate the off-site effects of water-control...
Relief of an Urban Storm Drainage System
The Peaks Branch storm sewer system was designed in the 1930s to drain 5.7 square miles of East Dallas. Subsequently, development blocked the emergency overflow paths and many areas are...
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...
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...
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...
Special Hydraulic Problems Related to Coastal Louisiana Drainage Systems
The urbanized coastal areas of southeast Louisiana present unique problems for hydraulic engineers. These problems relate to the design of drainage systems serving leveed areas with flat...
A Synthetic Simulation Model of Storm Surge History and Inland Drainage in Coastal Zone Areas
In this paper, a synthetic storm surge model is proposed. With the input information of peak surge height, storm duration, and shape coefficients, this model is capable of simulating most...
Drainage Problems in a Highly-Developed Shoreline Area
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is a 42-square mile barrier island on the south-east coast Flooding of roads and properties is a continual problem in this low-lying, flat area due...
A Rational Approach to Selecting an Optimal Design Storm for Flood Control
A rational methodology is presented herein for determining the optimal design storm frequency when planning for flood protection in new urban areas. The technique was developed from an...
Elements of a Coastal Stormwater Drainage System
Several elements in the design of a stormwater drainage system that outfalls to the ocean are discussed. The paper discusses a study conducted of the Ocean Lakes Watershed near Myrtle...
Uplift Pressures in Existing Concrete Dams
This paper is a brief summary of a report of the same title prepared for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) as part of its program to study ways to economically improve dam safety....
Hydroelectric Generator Rewinding Pitfalls and Means to Ensure Success
The failure or success of generator rewinding begins well before the actual rewind, and many of the pitfalls can be avoided if owners take some very important steps prior to the rewind...
National Water Conference
This book contains papers presented at the ASCE National Water Conference held at the University of Delaware, Newark, DE, July 17-20, 1989. The National Water Conference was cosponsored...
Water Use by Naturally Occurring Vegetation
An Annotated Bibliography
This report was prepared by the Task Committee on Water Requirements of Natural Vegetation Committee, a special subcommittee of the Committee on Irrigation Water Requirements, Irrigation...
Tunnel Maintenance Operations
Maintenance considerations during both the design and operational phases are very important to good tunnel maintenance. The use of proper materials able to withstand the rigorous environment...
Improving Design of Small Hydro Plants
One objective of this paper is to show why certain features of many small hydro plants have given poor operational performance or experienced expensive maintenance problems. A second objective...
Bath County Tunnel System/Remedial Treatment Program
The Bath County Pumped Storage Project, owned jointly by Virginia Electric and Power Company and Allegheny Generating Company, is located 70 miles (112 km) north of Roanoke, Virginia....
