Water Quality Modeling of Distribution Systems
Computer modeling of hydraulic conditions in distribution systems has been widely applied over the past decade for design and operation of systems. Conversely, little attention has been...

Adapting a Pipe Network Analysis Computer Program
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) has developed a mathematical simulation model for a key portion of its distribution system. A representative portion...

State-of-the-Art Pipe Network Optimization
Within the next decade water distribution system optimization models should become everyday tools of practicing engineers. This paper examines existing models and discusses some of the...

Optimization of Looped Water Distribution Networks
The optimization algorithm developed by G. Quindry et al. can be used to obtain a least cost pipe network for a looped water distribution system. A solution is obtained under steady state...

Water Distribution Design with Multiple Demands
An iterative procedure for the layout and design of new looped water distribution systems is pesented. The procedure is also applicable to the expansion of existing systems. The approach...

Practical Optimization of Looped Water Systems
This paper describes one tool that might be part of a package to assist a design engineer in sizing pipes, determining ideal locations for booster pumps and their heads, determining heads...

A Methodology for Optimal Network Design
A methodology is developed to optimize the design of water distribution networks using reduced gradient techniques with a network simulator. The problem is reduced in complexity by incorporating...

Maintenance Management for a Large Urban Waterworks System
The Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) owns and operates a water distribution system consisting of 86,000 customer accounts and 1,100 miles of water mains. In 1984, BWSC initiated...

Oil Spill Detection by NOAA/AVHRR on Persian Gulf
An area of oil spills on the Persian Gulf was detected by the thermal-infrared channels of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on NOAA-7. AVHRR gives the temperatures of the...

Report: Persian Gulf Conference, May, '84
The First International Conference on the Impact of Oil Spill in the Persian Gulf was held at the University of Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran (I. R. I. ), from 20 May to 27 May, 1984....

Regulatory Reform in Alaska: An Oil Industry Perspective
The State of Alaska recently implemented regulatory reform procedures to streamline the permitting process and ease the regulatory burden on the regulated community, as well as the burden...

The Bowhead Whale and Offshore Petroleum Operations in the Arctic
Eskimos, environmentalist groups, and government agencies have stated their concerns about possible effects on the bowhead from offshore petroleum operations. These concerns fall into...

Bristol Bay Regional Planning: An Oil Industry Perspective
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) specified the preparation of a Bristol Bay Cooperative Management Plan (BBCMP) - a joint effort of the State of Alaska and...

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve Ocean Monitoring Program?An Introduction to Environmental Aspects of the Engineering Design Process
A model describes how determinations can be made on the effects of an engineered work or product in the environment. The engineered work can be a new waterway, a wastewater diffuser system,...

Mitigating Environmental Losses Through Project Planning
A significant amount of industry effort goes into project planning prior to preparation and submission of a permit application. Baseline studies are conducted, including preparation of...

Petroleum Development in Louisiana's Coastal Zone
The most intense petroleum development activity in the nation's coastal area has been concentrated in Louisiana. Most of Louisiana's production has occurred in...

Splitting Common-Pool Offshore Oil & Gas Revenues
The Department of Interior (DOI) and several coastal states are currently at odds over an issue with enormous financial stakes as well as far-reaching implications in federal/state relations....

Permitting for Oil and Gas Activities in the OCS Mukluk Island?Beaufort Sea, Alaska 1983
In Alaska so little land is in private ownership that the primary means for the oil industry to obtain rights for exploration and development is through State or Federal petroleum lease...

Geologic Review: A Successful Procedure for the Minimization of the Impact of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production on Louisiana Wetlands
An effective procedure to minimize the amount of wetlands impacted by oil and gas well access routes has been developed. The procedure consists of a stringent geologic review of every...

Project Mixes Oil and Water
The Prudhoe Bay Seawater Treatment Plant was nominated for an OCEA award, for its potential to coax from Alaska's north slope 1 billion barrels of oil which otherwise would...
