Fish Diversion in Hydropower Intake
Hydraulic model studies were conducted to develop a fish screening system to be used in the turbine intakes of Priest Rapids Development on the Columbia River, Washington. The system studied...
Microcomputer Applications in Flood Management
Historically Salt Lake City has been subject to flooding from spring snow melt runoffs. Even though the volume and the rate of runoffs were similar during both years, the 1984 runoff created...
Exfiltration Trench Design as Part of a Stormwater Management Plan
The paper discusses a program structured to assist the design consultant or the agency reviewer by means of a menu driven format. A flood routing microcomputer program developed by the...
3-D Orthogonal Curvilinear Circulation Modelling
A three-dimensional circulation model has been developed using an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The model as constructed is capable of simulations on a variety of time and...
Three-Dimensional Simulation of Flow, Salinity, Sediment, and Radionuclide Movements in the Hudson River Estuary
The three-dimensional, finite difference model FLESCOT was applied to a 106-km reach of the Hudson River estuary in New York between Chelsea and the mouth of the river. It predicted the...
Hydraulic Study Requirements for Bulb Type Hydropower Units at a Navigation Lock and Dam
A replacement Lock and Dam at Alton, Illinois on the Mississippi River is presently under construction. This paper presents the results of studies performed for adding six bulb type hydropower...
Unique Utilization of a Physical Model to Develop a Construction Sequence of a Major Cofferdam
Lock and Dam 26 Replacement is being constructed on the Mississippi River about 2 miles downstream of the existing Locks and Dam No. 26 at Alton, Illinois. This paper discusses the unique...
Microcomputer Program for Daily Weather Simulation
Extensive climatic data have been collected by the National Weather Service and other agencies, and are available in printed form or on magnetic tapes. The published data are expensive...
Macro Data Acquisition Systems on Minicomputers
Selection of the proper minicomputer for a real-time data system is a careful design process based on system requirements. Hardware should be purchased after requirements are set and not...
Computer Techniques for Acquisition and Reduction of Cross-Section Data
DuPage County, Illinois, has initiated a county-wide stormwater management program for planning and flood mitigation purposes. Field data with horizontal and vertical control are obtained...
Water System Analysis?Modeling Hydraulics
The work described in this paper is part of the planning and design effort for expanding and improving the water supply system for St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. The parish is...
Near Real-Time Climatic Data in Illinois
The need for making real-time climatic data available for use was recognized in Illinois, and a concerted effort began in 1983 to develop a system for collecting and disseminating near...
A Microcomputer Dispersivity Evaluation Method for Thick Aquifers
The Littoral Environment Observation (LEO) program uses volunteer observers recruited to obtain daily visual observations of such coastal variables as breaker height, wave period, direction...
Development of a Practical Method Simulating Oil Spill Migration (OSPIM) in Soils
Many ground-water modeling studies can be performed on currently available microcomputers. The greatest problem associated with the proliferation of ground-water modeling software for...
Application of a Detachable Gondola Ropeway in an Urban Transport Environment: New Orleans, La.
The first United States application of the detachable, monocable, gondola ropeway system as an urban transportation system is presented. The system is the Mississippi Aerial River Transit...
Automated Analysis of High Accident Locations
Identification of high accident locations and associated accident causative factors as well as determination and evaluation of appropriate remedial measures at these sites are continuing...
Feasibility Assessment, Planning and Programming of Downtown People Mover Installations
Based on the author's personal experience, this paper sets forth suggested guidelines for progressing from initial feasibility studies through implementation of automated...
How Will People Movers Affect Downtown Areas?
The year 1980 was a pivotal one for the downtown automated people mover development process in both Detroit and Miami. In that year both cities completed their preliminary engineering/environmental...
The Possibility of People Mover Cost Reduction in Japan
One of the major problems preventing the introduction of people movers into urban areas is their expensive unit cost in comparison with existing transport technologies. In this paper,...
Urban Experience with AGT in North America
This paper gives a brief historical review of events behind the four Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) system deployments which are approaching public operations during 1985 and 1986. Particular...
