Reservoir Operations by Fuzzy Goal Programming
The reservoir operations problem is composed of obtaining optimal releases, and storages of a reservoir and downstream reach routed flows based on forecasted inflows and precipitation....
Some Hydrological Impacts of Climate Change for the Delaware River Basin
To gain insight into possible impacts of climate change on water availability in the Delaware River, two models are linked. The first model is a monthly water balance model that converts...
Modeling Groundwater Flow in San Joaquin Valley
Water supply, reallocation and conjunctive use options, within the San Joaquin and Tulare basins of the Central Valley of California, are being considered by Federal and State Planning...
Climate Change and Resulting Hydrologic Response: Illinois River Basin
In the last 20 years, the northern half of the Illinois River basin has been experiencing a wetter and cooler climate. This climate change has significantly increased Illinois River flows...
Effects of Water Erosion Processes on Drainage and Irrigation Systems
This study examines the relationship between geomorphic processes and drainage/irrigation projects. It illustrates the method of geomorphic analysis by the study of a drainage project...
Effects of Surface Drainage on Sediment Yield in Southern Delaware
Sediment surveys were conducted over a period of 16 years on two small reservoirs in the Nanticoke River basin, Delware in order to assess the effects of watershed drainage projects on...
Development and Implementation of the Wekiva River Basin Regulatory Program in Central Florida
The St. Johns River Water Management District developed a comprehensive surface water management program for the basin. Between 1987 and 1989 the District implemented basin specific design...
ROTO?A Continuous Water and Sediment Routing Model
A model called ROTO was developed to estimate water and sediment yields on large basins (several thousand square miles). ROTO is a continuous model operating on a daily time step that...
Infiltration or Roughness from Surface Irrigation Advance
Over the past several decades, a significant effort has gone into the development of mathematical models of water flow over the soil surface. Significant progress has been made in prediction...
Conjunctive Use of Surface and Groundwater
A computer model was developed by T. Sammis and Z. Samani to simulate the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. The model consisted of a groundwater simulation subroutine and a crop...
Effects of Surface Drainage on Sediment Yield in Southern Delaware
Sediment surveys were conducted over a period of 16 years on two small reservoirs in the Nanticoke River basin, Delaware in order to assess the effects of watershed drainage projects on...
Soil Water Movement in Glacial Till: A Case Study in Central South Dakota
Between 1985 and 1987, the CENDAK Drainage Steering Committee conducted several investigations to assess the drainage needs for a proposed large-scale irrigation project in central South...
Strategies to Reduce Salt Load in Drainage Water
A study of irrigation efficiency, drainage flow and trace element loading in the drainage water from a 14000 ha irrigation district on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley of California...
Reduction of Deep Percolation and Drain Water
Management of irrigated agriculture for control of toxic trace elements in agricultural drainage waters must include consideration of a variety of factors and their interactions with one...
Deep Percolation, Drainage and Water Quality
The purpose of this study is to illustrate and and qualitatively describe results of steady and transient numerical simulations examining the influence of drain spacing and depth on shallow...
Bottom Plugging Dynamics in Recharge Basins
The Orange County Water District is investigating the reasons why percolation rates in deep recharge basins rapidly decrease. The interrelationship between microbiological activities in...
Effect of Water Depth and Groundwater Table on Infiltration from Recharge Basins
The actual effect of water depth on infiltration depends on the depth to groundwater and on whether the wetted perimeter of the basin is clean or covered by a clogging layer of fine particles...
Artificial Recharge in the Southern Ogallala?Experiences with Playa Lake Water and Filter Underdrains
Ground water in southern portions of the Ogallala Aquifer has declined significantly over the past several years. Attempts to recharge playa water in the past have failed due to the clogging...
Economic factors of Drainage Water Reduction
Properly designed and maintained pressurized systems provide better irrigation control and greater infiltration uniformity. But irrigation costs are increased. Imposition of drainage water...
Blending Saline and Non-Saline Waters Reduces Water Usable for Crop Production
The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical and conceptual evidence to show that water quality protection programs which dispose of agricultural drainage waters through blending...
