The Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is currently performing a study of flooding problems of Abilene, Texas. This is the first study under the General Investigations authority...
Benefits from Floodplain Management Activities in Relation to Operating South Holston Dam
Floodplain management activities have primarily been directed toward avoiding floodplain siting where practical; where siting is unavoidable, elevating structures, facilities, or equipment...
Review of the Design, Construction, and Operation of the Lake Carolyn Flood Control Pump Station
A review of the design, construction, and initial operation of the Lake Carolyn Flood Control Pump Station in Irving, Texas is presented. Staged water resource development design concepts...
Causes and Possible Control Measures of Flood in Bangladesh
Intensity and frequency of occurrence of devastating floods in Bangladesh have increased significantly over the past two decades. Large scale deforestation in the upstream reaches of Ganges,...
Water for Texans?Using the Water Development Fund
This paper is presented to provide information on the Texas Water Development Fund. The Fund is available as a source that can provide financial assistance to political subdivisions of...
The Application of Microcomputers to Site Location Planning for Emergency Services
The paper presents an overview of the application of FIRE-ROUTER, a microcomputer package designed to assist in fire station location planning. Subjects covered include route finding,...
Scheduling Fixed Route Bus Services Using Simulation
The paper discusses the development and applications of a Monte Carlo simulation Program (BUS - MONITOR) for estimating and evaluating the quality of service of fixed route, many to many...
Transit Route Planning Using Data Downloaded from UTPS
A comprehensive evaluation of alternative bus routing and service patterns was recently performed for the Alameda-Contra Costa (AC) Transit District, the principal public transit operator...
Characteristics of Flood-Producing Rainstorms in the Midwest
At the Midwestern Climate Center, a comprehensive re-evaluation and updating of heavy rainstorm frequency relations for 9 Midwestern states is in progress. A special effort is being made...
Climate Change and Resulting Hydrologic Response: Illinois River Basin
In the last 20 years, the northern half of the Illinois River basin has been experiencing a wetter and cooler climate. This climate change has significantly increased Illinois River flows...
Impact of Urbanization on Main Stream Flooding
The methodology, results and management implications of a stormwater study at an urban watershed experiencing increasing episodes of flooding along the main channel and flood plain are...
An Application of Remote Sensing to Distributed Hydrologic Simulation
Hydrologic processes affecting flood flows occur primarily at the surface of the earth. Furthermore, the role of vegetation on the hydrologic response is very important in flood flow forecasting....
Utility of a GIS in Watershed Management?A Case Study
A geographic information system data base was established for a small watershed in Shelby County, Tennessee, for both surface and subsurface water attributes. The surface water portion...
Environmental Compliance and River Maintenance on Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico
River maintenance activities within the boundaries of the Santo Domingo Pueblo on the Rio Grande have departed from the traditional channelization philosophy and employed engineering methodologies...
Watershed Hydrograph Simulation Through Dendritic Channel Networks
In this paper, a linear dendritic simulation model based on the finite difference implicit scheme is presented. In this model, a dendritic matrix solution algorithm for simultaneous solution...
Influence of Tillage on Hydrology in Western Iowa
USDA Agricultural Research Service has operated four field-sized watersheds in the deep loess soils of western Iowa since 1964. Throughout this time, two watersheds were cropped to corn...
Maricopa County Hydrology Procedure
The Flood Control District of Maricopa County has developed a procedure to be used for flood hydrology in Maricopa County, Arizona, and the Flood Control District has prepared a Hydrologic...
ROTO?A Continuous Water and Sediment Routing Model
A model called ROTO was developed to estimate water and sediment yields on large basins (several thousand square miles). ROTO is a continuous model operating on a daily time step that...
Floodplain Management for Alluvial Fan Areas
