Optimal Real-Time Operation of a Cascade of Hydropower Plants in Central West China
The Longxihe River hydropower system consists of four hydropower plants in series. The four reservoirs are used for flood control and power generation. Among the four reservoirs, only...
Artificially Varied Flow: River System Management
Some of the major water quality problems are heat, color, organic sediment, and total dissolved solids. To dilute these and other pollutants, substantial augmentation of flows for water...
Modifications of Dams for Recreational Boating
Many existing dams and river structures require modification, and new structures may need to include designs to allow safe white water activities. The basic problem is safety, with a long...
Sensitivity of Model Choice in Reservoir Design
The Box-Jenkins method of model construction and tests of model adequacy and fit are applied to a reservoir design problem. The sensitivity of the stochastic models used to generate synthetic...
Modeling Pool and Riffle Sequences in Alluvial Channels
A one-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to predict the hydraulic characteristics of alluvial channels under low flow conditions. For a given steady discharge, channel geometry,...
Use of LP: An Aggregate Blending Example
The use of well known linear programs which in the past were largely confined to relatively limited mainframe usage, for the management of engineered construction is explored using a well...
Measurement of Ice Forces on Structures
Methodologies and techniques are discussed for measuring ice forces on fixed structures situated in rivers and lakes. The usual method of measuring ice forces is to place a load frame...
A Guide for the Field Testing of Bridges
The history and present use of bridge testing are reviewed. The benefits of bridge testing include safety and reliability, the money saved by not constructing a new bridge, the improvement...
How about Reverse Filters
Reverse or inverted filters allow water to drain freely without carrying away suspended solids. Their pore size must be properly related to the fines being protected. Terzaghi's...
Acid Rain
Current information on acid rain is reviewed in eight papers presented at an April, 1979 session sponsored by the Research Council on Environmental Impact Analysis of the ASCE Technical...
Electronic Computation
Proceedings of the Seventh Conference on Electronic Computation, held at the Mudd Law Building, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, August 6-8, 1979. Sponsored by the Committee...
