Impact of Polders Upon Flood Stage of Atrai River
A mathematical model study, using System 11 model of the Danish Hydraulic Institute, is made to assess the impact of flood control polders upon flood level of Atrai River in Bangladesh....
Impact of Detention Storage on Main Stream Flooding
The methodology, results and management implications are presented for a stormwater study at an urban watershed experiencing periodic flooding along the main channel. Local data were collected...
Response of a Surface Aquifer to Flood Irrigation
The response of an unconfined alluvial aquifer, and associated stream system, to recharge by flood irrigation in the New Fork River valley in western Wyoming was studied. A water budget...
Limitations of Level-Pool Routing in Reservoirs
Storage routing is defined for purposes of this study as any routing technique which expresses reservoir storage as a single-valued function of stage, and hence it is sometimes termed...
Role of Data Management in Water Control
The success of a system of software that must provide the water control user with current information, model analysis results, and forecasts of future behavior, is closely associated with...
Development of the Hydrodata CD-ROM Data Storage System
To store and retrieve data from two of the USGS WATSTORE databases - the daily and peak values files - and the Summary of the Day file from the National Climatic Data Center, the authors...
Decision Support for Short Term Export Sales From a Hydroelectric System
A stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) model was recently developed and implemented at British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (B.C. Hydro) to provide decision support for short term...
Development of a Large Network Model to Evaluate the Yield of a Proposed Reservoir
The model simulates the operation of the Colorado River system upstream of Grand Junction, Colorado, and both the West Slope and the East Slope components of Colorado-Big Thompson system....
Optimal Operational Analysis of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project
The Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District is currently investigating the feasibility of constructing a major water storage project on the mainstem of the Poudre River for water...
Electricity From Air
After a decade of research and dozens of feasibility studies at sites around the country, the first Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) plant in the U.S. is under construction at McIntosh,...
An Approach for Groundwater Plume Delineation
Product releases from underground storage tanks are in many cases very localized (point-source) and occur rapidly. When all or part of the released product reaches groundwater in a homogenous...
Climate Change Effects on Great Lakes Levels
The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory has developed conceptual models for simulating moisture storages in and runoff from the 121 watersheds draining into the Laurentian Great...
Underwater Tunnel Inspection by Virginia Power Using a Submersible Robot
The Bath County Pumped Storage Station, has three large tunnels linking the upper and lower reservoirs. The 'Hydrover' submersible remotely operated vehicle (ROV)...
Joint Economic Evaluation of Pumped Storage in Colorado
This paper summarizes a joint planning study completed in December 1988 on the economic potential of pumped-storage development. The study was unusual in water development investigations...
Storage Reallocation in Hydropower Projects of North Georgia
Over the past 40 years, the Corps of Engineers has built nine multiple purpose storage projects in Georgia, with hydroelectric power production as a major purpose. Six of the projects...
First 10 Years of Operation of
The first turbine of the La Grande hydroelectric Complex (Quebec, Canada) was commissioned in october 1979. Since then, five reservoirs, two rivers diversions, three power stations with...
Sediment Evacuation System for Impounded Rivers
Current solution techniques for the reservoir sedimentation problem are presented and their rationale questioned. The need for focusing on the overall river transport regime is emphasized....
How Many Years to Fill with Sediment, a Sediment Study of Lake Powell on the Colorado River
A study to determine the current capacity and to update information on the life expectancy of Lake Powell was conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation. The study documented the present storage-elevation...
Automation of Existing Dam Control Schemes
For installations that are already in operation, the following advantages are obtained from installing new electronic equipment: In the case that the dam or certain measuring stations...
Underwater Tunnel Inspection by Virginia Power Using a Submersible Robot
