Surface Water/Groundwater Interaction Studies
Studies were performed on a high elevation (2440 meters or 8000 feet) valley stream system and a high (1980 meters or 6500 feet) cold desert stream system in Wyoming, to analyze the surface...
Ground Water Impacts from Irrigated Ridge-Tillage
The Northern Cornbelt Sand Plain Project is a cooperative research effort between the State Agricultural Experiment Stations, USDA/Agricultural Research Service and U.S. Geological Survey...
Conjunctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater Management
A mathematical model is presented for conjunctive management of connected surface and groundwater systems. The groundwater module is based on the linear, two-dimensional, horizontal flow...
Pump Station/Storage Opportunities for Urban Freeway Systems
This paper introduces the concept of utilizing underground storage to minimize both the initial cost and the long-term maintenance and operation costs of multiple pump stations for a freeway...
A Review of Modeling and Analysis Approaches for Optimization of Reservoir System Operations
Numerous mathematical models have been developed for sizing reservoir storage capacities and establishing operating policies during project planning, for reevaluating the operating policies...
Comparison of a Vibrational Gage and a Plummet for Continuously Measuring Fluvial-Sediment Concentrations
Obtaining sediment records for small, remote streams is difficult not only because of the logistical problems, but also because of the rapid changes in concentration that accompany the...
Model Studies of Outlet and Intake at McCook Reservoir
Two separate physical models were used to investigate the outflow and inflow into the proposed McCook Reservoir. The proposed reservoir will be located in McCook, Illinois, and will serve...
McClure Park: A Multi-Purpose Off-Stream Storage Facility for Tulsa, Oklahoma
The City of Tulsa is in the process of implementing a flood control plan for the 61 square-mile (158 km2) Mingo Creek watershed. The federally-assisted...
A Dynamic Runoff Model for Disturbed Hillslopes
A dynamic runoff model is developed for use in analyzing the hydrologic response of disturbed hillslopes. The model employs an explicit form of the Green-Ampt equation which is coupled...
Modeling of Dispersion in Natural Streams with Pools and Riffles
The non-Fickian nature of the dispersion process in natural channels with pools and riffles has been investigated through both laboratory experiments and the numerical solution of a proposed...
Combined Application of HEC-1 and HEC-2 Simulation Models in Dike Safety Analysis
The potential flood impact of a breach in a dike for a large spreading-area on a nearby waste storage facility was investigated. An HEC-1 model was used for generating breach hydrographs...
Gas Transfer Velocities and Radar Backscatter from the Water Surface
Gas transfer velocities of sulfur hexafluoride, methane, and nitrous oxide were determined in two different wind-wave tanks and related to friction velocity and radar backscatter from...
Correlation of Fractional Foam Coverage with Gas Transport Rates
Because breaking waves are believed to increase the flux of gases across the air/sea interface, it may be possible to correlate air/sea gas transport velocities with whitecap coverage....
Rehab Roundup
The concrete exterior of San Franciso's Coit Tower was damaged and the murals were being destroyed by water infiltrating the structure. Interactive Resources, Inc., Point...
Conflict in Water Management of James River, ND
Delivery of water from storage in Jamestown Reservoir to 898 acres of newly developed irrigation along the lower James River by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation during the drought of 1988...
Elevated Water Tank Inelastic Seismic Analysis
In 1988, the Seattle Water Department hired CYGNA, a consulting firm, to assess the seismic reliability of their water system, since major earthquakes can occur in the area. Their study...
Simplified Uplift Analysis of Unanchored Cylindrical Tanks
Seismic tank damage has been reported in almost every major earthquake in the past, sometimes with serious environmental ramifications, thus raising concerns about the safety of these...
The U.K. Marina Industry?An Overview
This paper is written from the point of view of an established marina developer and operator and, as the title suggests, it purports to be nothing more than an overview of a number of...
The Keppel Marina?Developing and Operating a High-Intensity Marina in Singapore
The Keppel Marina in Singapore represents a highly-efficient, high intensity use of a small land and water site area for a stack storage marina and boatyard, developed and operating within...
Operation and Maintenance Plan for Marinas
A operation and maintenance (O&M) plan for marinas is presented to describe the process and establish basic parameters that can be used as guidelines to more comprehensive site-specific...
