An Expert System for Groundwater Management with Applications to Collier County, FL
This paper describes techniques used in frequency analysis, time series model building, forecasting, up-dating, and mapping. Domain knowledge of experts is transferred into the system...

Training Water Delivery System Operators with Simulators
A graphical display training simulator has been developed on a microcomputer to mimic the operation of a multi-reservoir water delivery system. The simulator functions as a training device...

Proposal for Combining Expert Systems and Canal Design
Expert Systems can be combined with a computer aided design methodology to develop a cost effective canal system. The System should consider a feasible set of design alternatives to satisfy...

Prediction of Overland Phosphorus Transport Using a Phosphorus Enrichment Ratio
The Guelph model to evaluate the effects of Agricultural Management Systems on Erosion, Sedimentation, and Phosphorus yield (GAMESP) of Rousseau et al. was used to calibrate the phosphorus...

Flood Warning Systems as a Means for Reducing Urban Flood Losses
This paper describes the potential effectiveness of flood warning systems in reducing loss of life. The paper describes the problems associated with urban flood warning systems (or lack...

Modeling a Multiple Well Groundwater Supply System
The paper is concerned with the simulation of existing groundwater supply systems. This encompasses the delivery of the groundwater from the wells to the water treatment plant, including...

An Interactive Microcomputer Program for One-Dimensional Solute Transport in Saturated Soil-Water Systems
This paper presents a user-friendly microcomputer program for one-dimensional solute transport in saturated soil-water systems. Eight different types of adsorption isotherms, ranging from...

Detention and Filtration?Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Rapid growth in the Austin metropolitan area kindled regualtions to protect the environment. Rigid enforcement of function-oriented guidelines and increased emphasis on productivity has...

Systems Approach for Irrigation Management of Complex Projects Involving Large Number of Farmers Under Severely Arid Regions
An Irrigation Management Information System (IMIS) was developed for complex irrigation projects involving a large number of farms under severely arid conditions. This system is a computer...

Effective On-Farm Irrigation Scheduling in the Humid Southeast
An extension demonstration of a checkbook type irrigation scheduling system using a personal computer and spread sheet is described. The system incorporates typical crop water use curves,...

Aquatic Weed Control by Grass Carp in Cool Water
Diploid grass carp have significantly controlled problem aquatic vegetation during a 3-year study in a northern Colorado irrigation canal where water temperatures ranged from 0 to 25?C....

Drought in Tennessee: Implications on Irrigation System Capacity
Recent droughts in Tennessee have led to a study of the required irrigation system capacity for the state. Data from 1951 through 1988 were analyzed for probabilities of precipitation...

Managing a Drought Through Advance Water Resources Planning: The Iowa Approach and Experience
It is important for states and local governments to devise and implement strategies for dealing with their water resource needs during a drought. This paper discusses the mechanisms that...

The Water Erosion Prediction Project: Model Overview
A new generation of water erosion prediction technology is being developed by the USDA Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP). The WEPP models are a new erosion prediction technology...

Formulating a Coastal Plain Water Quality Project
In 1988, the Soil Conservation Service in Delaware helped local sponsors prepare a detailed preauthorization planning report for water quality improvement in Indian River Bay watershed,...

Managing Water Table Management Systems for Water Quality
The purpose of this paper is to briefly summarize the results of water quality studies related to water table management conducted in North Carolina over the past 15 years. Results of...

Development and Application of a Model for Urban Use of Reclaimed Water
Water for nonpotable uses can be obtained from lesser-quality sources, and reclaimed water represents a very valuable and relatively unusual source. The planning and design process for...

Determination of Optimal Capacity for Water Imports
Determination of the optimal size of water import facilities is inextricably related to the issue of establishing the optimal water price, and is made more difficult by the stochastic...

Mathematical Modeling of Water Balance in a Well Defined Pilot Area
This study developed a water balancing computer code, a type of book keeping method using a detailed version of the hydrologic balance equation. The purpose was to provide a method of...

Locating and Sizing Air Release Valves on Irrigation Systems
This writing is directed to persons involved in irrigation systems and describes the usage of air release and vacuum valves. Principles described are applicable to many other piping systems,...
