Climate Change Impacts on Boston's Water Supply
The analysis of the climate sensitivity of the water supply system of the Boston area indicates that the water supply has the potential to be dramatically altered by global warming. The...

Water Policy and Management: Solving the Problems in Southern New Jersey
Southern New Jersey, which has relied solely on groundwater to satisfy its water supply needs, is depleting the primary source for that water. Symptoms of this depletion include declining...

Joint Optimization of Groundwater Remediation and Monitoring
We describe the challenge of devising optimization methods which optimize jointly the remediation and monitoring at a contaminated site. We refer to the dual control method as a promising...

Wetland Loss Rates and Agricultural Drainage
The current paper uses National Resources Inventory data to document the relation between private on-farm agricultural drainage investment activity and wetlands loss. The paper presents...

Integration of Water Rights and Network Flow Modeling in the Upper Snake River Basin
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Pacific Northwest Region and Denver Office are working to enhance the ability to integrate hydrological and institutional modeling capabilities for use...

Decision Support System for Conjunctive Use Under Complex Water Right Conditions
A prototype microcomputer based decision support system (DSS) is presented for assisting in the conjunctive use management of surface and groundwater under the water rights doctrine of...

Improving Reservoir System Operations Under Water Rights Requirements
Successful reservoir operations planning largely depends on knowing the future inflow to the system; understanding the objectives of the reservoir system; and understanding the relationship...

Stochastic Optimal Control for Determination of Freshwater Inflows to Estuaries
The objective of the research is to develop estuarine system management models based upon discrete-time stochastic optimal control. An analytical feedback control law is given. The control...

Differential Dynamic Programming for Estuarine Management
Differential dynamic programming (DDP) is applied to solve the estuarine management problem to determine the optimal amount of freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries in order to maximize...

Alternative Designs for a Water Resources Planning and Management Electronic Information Exchange Network
The proliferation of electronic bulletin boards, fax and other electronic media encourages the use of alternative information sharing and retrieval methods as a routine part of business...

Lesson Learned form Implementing M&I Optimal Water Delivery
Few municipal water delivery systems are truly optimized to deliver a quantity of water at the least cost. Both the University of Kentucky and Memphis State University have attempted to...

Computer Simulation Model of the Integrated Local Water Supply Plan for the City of Wichita, Kansas
The City of Wichita, Kansas will require additional water supply sources to meet projected future water demands. A study of options identified a supply plan with integrated use of local...

Development of Fisheries Models for the Missouri River System
This paper describes how the value of fisheries resources under various Missouri River operating alternatives was determined. The four fish communities evaluated were the reservoir cool/warm...

Determining Optimal Parameter Dimensions for Water Distribution Network Models
Water distribution systems contain a large number of pipes whose roughness factors are unknown prior to model calibration. During the calibration process, pipe roughnesses for each link...

A New Approach to Water Education: Children's Water Festivals
A number of Colorado water agencies, school districts, and municipal utilities have combined efforts recently to coordinate a relatively new concept in water education - Children's Water...

WATSUP: A Simulation Model for Water Supply Cost and Reliability
WATSUP (Water Supply) is a computer model developed to provide a prototype modeling tool for planners to estimate the costs and reliability of urban water supply systems on a regional...

Using A Risk-Based Relative Position Analysis to Initiate Water Conservation Measures
When water utilities operate with annual demands close to safe yield, they must be prepared to invoke water conservation measures during droughts to assure adequate supply. Determining...

Analysis of Missouri River System Operations Alternatives
The Corps of Engineers is conducting a study of alternative water control plans for the exiting Missouri River Mainstem System. Data on the effects of the alternatives on the various project...

Parallel SDP for Multi-Reservoir Management
The use of stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) for solving water resources problems has been restricted to problems with low dimension due to the 'curse of dimensionality'. Algorithm...

Wastewater Reclamation at Davenport, Washington
The City of Davenport, Washington went through an extended process to update their undersized wastewater treatment and irrigation reclamation systems for municipal wastewater. The process...
