Recent developments in micro-computers have enabled water resources engineers to utilize advanced computer methods and interactive color graphics for the analysis and planning of water...
Water Resources Applications of OCAP--Ohio's CNRIS
The Ohio Capability Analysis Program (OCAP) is a computer-based natural resources information system (CNRIS) operated since 1973 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The three...
Microcomputer Analysis of Harbor Wind Drift
A microcomputer with general-purpose spreadsheet software was used to analyze wind drift on the water surface of Quincy Bay in Boston Harbor. Wind drift is the movement of the surface...
Mathematical Modeling of Ground Water Flow
Many numerical algorithms for ground water flow models have been published and are available in computer software packages. It is the job of the ground water specialist to select an appropriate...
Simulation of Groundwater Flows in Leaky Multi-Layered Aquifer
A newly developed computational methodology for simulating the groundwater flows in multi-layered aquifer is presented. The model is based on the finite element method following the Galerkin's...
Groundwater Models: Converting Research Developments into Practical Applications
One method of bridging the gap between code developer and code applier is through separate user-friendly computer programs called preprocessors that prepare data before execution of the...
Software Authoring for the Rest of Us
Extensive use of high resolution graphics, form-oriented full screen data entry, and contextual help messages have proven to be an effective means of structuring the dialogue between the...
Understanding Land and Water Resource Systems Aided by Graphics on Microcomputers
The inadequate appreciation of relations between causes of contamination and their occurrence applies to professional as well as lay individuals. Therefore, a great deal of effort is invested...
Modeling Contaminant Fate and Transport in Ground Water Systems
Determination of the fate and transport of contaminants in subsurface environments has been aided by recent advances in our understanding of ground water hydrodynamics and subsurface solute...
Two Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Subsurface Contamination by Organic Compounds - A Multiple Approach
In recent years, much attention has been focused on the migration of the soluble portion of an organic contaminant in groundwater systems. Little work, however, has been directed towards...
Modeling a Water Distribution System
Problems encountered in modeling the water distribution system for the City of Norwich, NY are discussed and the procedures used to solve each problem are described. The interpretation...
A Case Study - Toms River Water Company, Toms River, New Jersey
Toms River Water Company provides water service to Dover Township, the Borough of South Toms River and portions of Berkeley Township, all in Ocean County, New Jersey. Existing supply facilities...
Complications in the Design and Analysis of Small Water Distribution Systems
The design and operation of small treatment and distribution networks can sometimes be more complicated than the design of large metropolitan systems. More often than not, the use of standard...
Water System Model Brought Improvements in System Performance
