Reclaiming Wastewater in Phoenix, Arizona
This paper examines the role of wastewater effluent reuse in the future water resource management of the City of Phoenix. The paper seeks to explain why a proposal to renovate effluent...

The Reclaimed Water Delivery System and Reuse Program for Tucson, Arizona
The City of Tucson has implemented a reclaimed water reuse program in a community-wide effort to preserve high quality groundwater for potable and other priority uses. Presently, the system...

Management Challenges Affecting Agricultural Reuse of High-Strength Food Processing Wastewaters
Land treatment of high-strength food processing wastewaters is a viable pollution control technology. Due to the high-strength characteristics of these wastewaters, effective site management...

Optimum Irrigation Under Saline Conditions
A dynamic production function for cotton is estimated. Optimal irrigation volumes, timing, and qualities are calculated using dynamic programming. Optimal water quantities are sensitive...

Evaluation of Methods to Determine Peak Period Irrigation Water Requirements
Methods for estimating the peak period irrigation water requirement were evaluated as a component of the review of irrigation facility sizing criteria conducted for the Engineering and...

Review of the Lake Andes-Wagner Project Sizing
Benefit-cost analyses of the proposed U. S. Bureau of Reclamation Lake Andes-Wagner Project have shown the project to be marginally feasible. In an effort to improve the benefit-cost ratio,...

Irrigation with Reclaimed Wastewater?Recent Trends
Land application of municipal wastewater is a well established practice in California. Much of the reclaimed municipal wastewater (57%) in California is used for irrigation of fodder,...

Water Supply Analysis for the Milk River Basin, Montana
The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation's Milk River Irrigation Project provides water for 55,000 ha of irrigation in the Milk River basin of Montana. The project includes an interbasin...

Localized Effects of Subsidence on Flooding in a Small Urban Watershed
Extensive pumpage of groundwater in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area in the last century has caused compaction of the clay layers in the local aquifers with resulting widespread land...

Effect of Length of Precipitation Record on Recharge Estimates
The effect of the length of precipitation record on groundwater recharge estimates is examined using data from eleven precipitation gages located on the Nevada Test Site. It is concluded...

Transport Model for Aquifer Reclamation Management
A contaminant transport model which is specifically designed for management applications is developed. A key feature is the transient velocity field needed in the solution of the advection-dispersion...

Fishing the Four-Lane
Recent changes in one Montana canyon have shown that even highways and freshwater fish can happily coexist with the proper planning. Twenty years ago, the Montana Department of Highways...

Land Application of Wastewater Sludge
Prepared by the Task Committee on Land Application of Sludge of the Committee on Water Pollution Management of the Environmental Engineering Division of ASCE. ...

Going Sewerless
An in-building wastewater recycling system is an option where lack of sewers, limits on water supply, and special concerns about water quality are obstacles. The system was incorporated...

Friant Power Project: Design and Construction?Non-Federal Power at a Reclamation Facility
Friant Dam, Millerton Reservoir, provides the principal water supply for the Friant Division Central Valley Project of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau). The dam is a 319-foot high...

Safety of Dams Activities in the Bureau of Reclamation Lower Colorado Region
In the Lower Colorado Region of the Bureau of Reclamation (BuRec), there are presently eight BuRec dams and one Bureau of Indian Affairs dam being modified or studied for modification...

Stabilization of a Permafrost Subsidence in the Airport Runway at Bethel Alaska
During the construction of the extension to the Bethel Airport runway in 1969, it was necessary to construct a fill across a small gully. The subbase material in the gully contained some...

An Expert System for Site Selection
Site selection involves two phases. First, a small number of alternatives among all possible sites are identified for further evaluation, and then the selected alternatives are examined...

The Pacific Texas Pipeline Project?Deepwater Oil Terminal, Port of Los Angeles
This paper describes the implementation program and status of the Pacific Texas Pipeline Company project in the Port of Los Angeles. A brief description of this important 1. 6 billion,...

The Use of Cone Penetrometer Testing to Investigate Sand Fill Subsidence Beneath Highways
During construction of Interstate I-10 between Baton Rouge and LaPlace, Louisiana, highly organic swamp deposits were excavated and replaced with hydraulically pumped river sand. The main...
