Measurement of Hydraulic and Environmental Effects of Aeration Devices in Douglas Reservoir
The releases from Douglas Reservoir experience periods of low dissolved oxygen (DO) content during the summer months. Tests were conducted during August 1989 to determine the effects of...

Delineation of Ordinary High Water
'Ordinary high water' is used in a court of law to delineate the extent of land ownership of adjacent riparian owners on navigable rivers. The most appropriate...

Impact of Agricultural Levees on Flood Elevations
Agricultural levees are used in many low-lying areas to protect farmlands from floods. The levees are often constructed, maintained, and improved on an ad hoc basis by farmers or with...

Modelling of Stages of Nile River as a Tool for a Better Water Resources Management
As far as Egypt is concerned, the Nile is not just a river, it is rather the pulsing nerve of life. Consequently, it was essential to maintain detailed information about its levels and...

Overview of Mathematical Models?River Nile/High Aswan Dam
This paper has been directed towards the presentation of seven reliable planning tools (mathematical models) that can be used for the investigation of the planning options facing policy...
