Classification and Behavior of Meander Migration
Meander migrations on the Mississippi River between Cairo, Illinois and Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the time period between the years 1765 and 1930 were classified into six categories based...
Continuous Modelling of Downstream River Erosion Caused by 40 Years of Urbanization
The US EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM3) was installed on an IBM-PC compatible network. The adapted program, known as PCSWMM3, and incorporating a simple algorithm for modelling...
Effects of Agriculture on Ground-Water Quality in Dade County, Florida
Multidepth wells at five test fields and a monitoring network of water-table wells in Dade County, Florida, were sampled twice during 1985 to determine concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus,...
Ground Water Strategy in California
There is great debate over when and how much new water California needs. Yet of the backbone supply, wells that could serve over 1 million people have been either removed from use or blended...
The Role of Local Government in Water Quality Management
To meet the challenge of providing safe drinking water at a reasonable cost, local governments, together with water utilities, must do more than merely fund the implementation of state...
A New Dam in California?Piece-of-Cake!
