Validation and Recent Enhancement of a Three-Dimensional Curvilinear-Grid Finite-Difference Model for Estuarine, Coastal and Lake Circulation: CH3D
This paper describes the validation and recent enchancement of a three-dimensional curvilinear-grid hydrodynamic model: CH3D. The model employs finite-differences techniques and allows...
Sediment and Aquatic Habitat Associations in River Systems
This paper results from the Task Committee's effort to summarize knowledge linking sediment transport and aquatic ecology. This paper presents one element of this work: the...
Sediment Transport, Hydraulic Retention Devices, and Aquatic Habitat in Sand-Bed Channels
Streams and rivers of all sizes and in all parts of the United States flow on sand-bed channels. Scour, Transport, and deposition of sediments particles are natural processes in these...
Storm Water Management and Wetland Restoration?Ballona Channel Wetlands
A storm water management plan was engineered to provide storm water dention necessary for site develop and at the same time to allow wetland restoration. Objectives of the project were:...
River Engineering and Environmental Resources
The federal government and the Corps of Engineers (CE) are committed to preserving and enhancing environmental quality. Research and development support for this commitment in the realm...
Measurement of Hydraulic and Environmental Effects of Aeration Devices in Douglas Reservoir
The releases from Douglas Reservoir experience periods of low dissolved oxygen (DO) content during the summer months. Tests were conducted during August 1989 to determine the effects of...
Delineation of Ordinary High Water
'Ordinary high water' is used in a court of law to delineate the extent of land ownership of adjacent riparian owners on navigable rivers. The most appropriate...
Impact of Agricultural Levees on Flood Elevations
Agricultural levees are used in many low-lying areas to protect farmlands from floods. The levees are often constructed, maintained, and improved on an ad hoc basis by farmers or with...
Modelling of Stages of Nile River as a Tool for a Better Water Resources Management
As far as Egypt is concerned, the Nile is not just a river, it is rather the pulsing nerve of life. Consequently, it was essential to maintain detailed information about its levels and...
Overview of Mathematical Models?River Nile/High Aswan Dam
This paper has been directed towards the presentation of seven reliable planning tools (mathematical models) that can be used for the investigation of the planning options facing policy...
Sacramento's Proactive Stormwater Permit Program
In January 1990, with the encouragement and assistance of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board-Central Valley Region (Regional Board), the City and County of Sacramento,...
Utilization of Stormwater Runoff to Recharge Underlying Aquifer
The expanding economy in Oman has led to rapid development in the Capital area. Water is critical to sustaining this rapid growth, and new sources of water are being sought to meet the...
Dispersion of Tracers Along the Coast of Singapore
The primary objective of the present study is to model numerically the dispersion of a cloud of fine radioactive tracers along the east coast of Singapore. The results of a hydrodynamic...
Slurry Removal From a 2-D Fluidized Region
A two-dimensional fluidization experiment is performed on fine sand with a 5.08 cm diameter source pipe with horizontally opposed orifices, 0.317 cm in diameter, spaced 5.08 cm. Slurry...
