Sediment Resuspension Due to Dredging and Storms: An Analogous Pair
The physics of resuspension is represented by the response of the sediment to an applied stress, either dredging operations or storm winds. In either case, once the sediments are mixed...
Dispersal of Wastewater in the Ocean--A Cascade of Processes at Increasing Scales
An engineering system for marine waste disposal is described. Design decisions are based on broad categories of input information: the complete description of the waste to be discharged;...
Analysis of Partially Filled Circular Storm Sewers
The classic design approach uses Manning's formula. Comparisons between analytical results obtained in this manner and the many available experimental results indicate substantial...
Vacuum Assisted Pipelines Operation
In the process of upgrading the sewerage facilities for Lancaster, Pennsylvania, it was decided to combine two existing facilities into one new facility. This required the design of three...
Water Supply Supplemented by Airport Storm Runoff
The quality of natural and induced storm water runoff from Oahu's Honolulu International Airport (HIA) and four outer island airports in Hawaii was evaluated for water supply...
Temperature Effects on Lasers
While lasers have markedly improved the accuracy of engineering, air temperature gradients can reduce that drastically. Based on a sewer project that used lasers to align all the pipe,...

Holland's Fight Against the Sea
The Netherlands have always been threatened by the sea, its Delta Region most of all. After the catastrophic floods of 1953, the Delta Plan for the strengthening of coastal defenses and...
Boston Tunes Up Water System
In 1977, Boston's water supply system had so many leaks and so many unmetered or undermetered customers that only about half the water entering the system was accounted for....
Annotated Bibliography on Urban Design Storms
This bibliography summarizes significant publications in the area of urban design storms. References are assigned one or more of the following classifications: (1) Time distributions (hyetographs);...
Sewers: Repairing Beats Replacing
Rehabilitating decaying sewers can be up to 70% less costly than replacing them. Yet most sewerage agencies wait until a pipe collapses before taking action, necessitating expensive emergency...
Progress Since 1979 in Canada
The report that follows describes the Canadian progress in urban hydrology research and in applications of research findings during the period from 1979 to 1983. The main topics include...
Progress Since 1979 in Sweden
During the past 20 years hard effort has been devoted to the protection of rivers and lakes from pollution. This effort has mainly been focused on the obvious sources of pollution i. e....
New Developments in Urban Hydrology in France from 1979 to 1982
The period of 1979-1982 is characterized by an important growth of the number of research studies, and financial investments for practical applications of research results. That growth...
