Managing Microcomputer Applications
The authors have recently completed a study of microcomputer usage in Corps of Engineers planning activities. The study developed a training document for Corps managers, entitled 'Managing...

Living with a Macintosh in an IBM World
The Macintosh computer is widely praised for several characteristics: high resolution graphics, common program user interface, user friendliness including extensive use of a mouse, and...

Making Microcomputer Based CADD Systems Productive
The introduction of microcomputer based CADD systems has made CADD affordable to small engineering firms. Many have not been able to make their CADD system productive. The sources of poor...

Using the Microcomputer in the Software Development Process
The migration of the computer from the controlled environment of a computer room to the office desk-top provides the software engineer with a convenient and effective tool for enhancing...

Rehabilitation Strategies for Urban Drainage Systems?A European Perspective
Rehabilitation of urban drainage system is needed in many old European cities. This is in part due to the required structural upgrading of the existing sewerage system. But rehabilitation...

Water Distribution Systems Analysis Package
A computer software package for water distribution systems analysis has been developed for the city of Fort Worth, Texas, to overcome the problems of time consumption and human error,...

An Analysis of Hourly Water Use in Austin, Texas
While it is possible to calculate water use over a fairly short period of time, this only yields a single value for peak use. It does not give a comprehensive understanding of the frequency,...

Water Distribution Network Calibration Considering Multiple Loading Conditions
Through time a water distribution network's carrying capacity is reduced as material collects on pipe walls. The impact varies with each pipe in the system and occurs at an...

Methodology for the Optimal Reliability Based Design and Analysis of Pumping Systems for Water Distribution Networks
A methodology has been developed for the optimal (minimum cost) reliability based design of pumping systems. Two computer simulators, a reliability simulator and a hydraulic simulator,...

Optimal Pump Operation Using Nonlinear Programming
This paper focuses on the operational control problem of determining the optimal pump operation policy for a given distribution system. The optimal pump policy is defined as that schedule...

IWR-Main?Version 5.1?An IBM-PC or Compatible Water Use Forecasting System
The IWR-MAIN water use forecasting system is a sophisticated and flexible computer program designed for estimating and forecasting municipal water requirements. The IWR-MAIN system is...

CADD Applications in Water Resources Design
CADD can provide substantial benefits, in terms of speed and ease of revisions, in the design of civil engineering projects, including water resources facilities. However, current design...

A Front End Expert System for the Calibration of SWMM Runoff Block
An expert system is discussed which acts as a front end to the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) for the purpose of preparation of data input and parameter selection. The structure of...

Master Plan of a Reclaimed Water System
Arizona cities are under a state mandate to reduce water consumption as a result of the 1980 Arizona Groundwater Management Act. Since reclaimed water use is not included in the overall...

Instituting Increasing Block Rate Pricing as a Water Conservation Measure
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the benefits of an increasing block rate pricing policy as a water conservation measure. By changing the pricing structure, demands will change...

Great Lakes Levels: Toward Systematic Decision Making
The International Joint Commission (IJC) has authority given by the governments of Canada and the United States to use existing works to regulate the lakes system according to agreed-to...

Application of a GIS to a Ground Water Classification System
New more effective methods of ground water management are being developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) including an anticipatory conceptual State ground...

TRUMPET: A TR20plus Watershed Model?Version 1.04
The TRUMPET watershed model is a microcomputer application which expands upon the widely used SCS TR20 hydrology computer program by providing user-friendly, interactive input and file...

Computerized Bridge Coding for HEC-2 Applications on I.B.M. P.C.
A computer program for conversion of survey field notes directly into SB, BT, and GR cards with simultaneous cross-section plot is described. It was designed to simplify the coding of...

Water Conservation and Floodplain Regulation at Barrett Dam?San Diego, CA
Barrett Dam is owned and operated by the City of San Diego, California. This paper describes the response of the dam to heavy storms that occurred in Southern California in 1980. Computer-generated...
