Expert Analysis in Regulated Irrigation Canal Modelling
Application of riverine unsteady-flow numerical modelling techniques to problems of flow regulation in irrigation canals invokes the need for careful treatment of some situations not commonly...

Effects on River Mechanics Due to Reduction in Low-Season Discharge
India's diversion of water from the Ganges River 11 miles upstream from Bangladesh's western border during the low-flow season seriously adversely affects Bangladesh's irrigated agriculture,...

Farakka Barrage - It's Impacts and Possible Mitigation
The paper discusses the impacts and possible implications of the Farraka Barrage Project across the Ganges River on different sectors in Bangladesh including hydrology and river morphology,...

Impacts of Low Flows on the Alluvial Rivers of the Southwest Region of Bangladesh
The Ganges River, which flows out of China through Nepal and India and finally into Bangladesh, has been subjected to continuous scrutiny as conflicts regarding the diversion of water...

Integrated Planning for International River Basin
The integrated development of the Vardar/Axios Basin includes a system of projects scheduled to meet the needs and aspirations of Yugoslavia (in particular, the former Socialist Republic...

Transport Process of Surface Liquid Spills
A mathematical model simulating the scenarios of surface liquid spills is presented in this paper. This model describes the advance front and recession curves of surface spills based on...

Reconstruction of Concentration Boundary Condition for Unsteady Pesticide Transport Modeling
A one-dimensional unsteady contaminant transport model which used an unsteady hydraulic field was used to model pesticides (metolachlor, metribuzin) in the Iowa River/Coralville Reservoir....

Contaminant Fate and Transport Model in Pool-and-Riffle Streams
The complex nature of solute transport and transformation processes in natural streams has been investigated using numerical solution of a proposed mathematical model. This model is based...

Lake Michigan Diversion at Chicago
Water has been diverted from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River basin beginning with the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1848 to serve navigation needs. During the...

The Regulation of Lake Ontario During the Spring of 1993; a Period of Record Supplies
A wet summer in 1992 and record water supplies to Lake Ontario during early 1993 resulted in very high levels on the lake. Actions by the International St. Lawrence River Board of Control...

Estimation of Field Site Flow Parameters
The paper reports on the use of Kriging to obtain estimates of hydraulic conductivity underneath a rapid infiltration site. The parameters obtained were used in a two-dimensional groundwater...

Nonlinearity and Free-Surface Flow
The Dupuit-Forchheimer (D-F) assumption is commonly considered a viable design criterion for water resources projects and, consequently, Darcy law is used to determine the locus of free...

Flood Monitoring Network In Southeastern Louisiana
A flood monitoring network has been established to alert emergency operations personnel and the public about hydrologic conditions in the Amite River Basin. The U.S. Geological Survey...

Riparian Wetlands and Flood Stages
The paper studies concurrent flood stage records from two fourth-order streams in the hills of northwest Mississippi with similar soils, watershed relief and overall land use. The streams...

Combination of an Automated Channel Network Extracting System and a Distributed Watershed Model in Estimation Rainfall-Runoff Processes
Due to the improvement of accuracy and availability of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), hydrologic researches which utilize DEMs have gradually reached sound results. In this paper, we...

Probable Maximum Flood Estimation for New and Existing Dams
Although various attempts have been made to streamline the procedures to determine PMF hydrographs for the design of new and rehabilitation of existing dams, there still remains a great...

Long Term Predictability of River Stages under ENSO Influence
The paper explores the bases for alternative approaches to river flow and hydrologic time series forecasting. The precipitation that forces river flow contains significant modes of variability...

Natural and Dam Break Flood Routing in Mountain Rivers
The accuracy of four one-dimensional flood routing methods is assessed for extreme floods in various mountain river settings. This preliminary assessment focusses on the prediction of...

HEC River Analysis System (HEC-RAS)
The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) is developing next generation software for one-dimensional river hydraulics. The HEC-RAS River Analysis System (HEC, 1994) is intended to be the...

Modeling of Maximum Velocity in Open-Channel Flow
A great deal of information about an open channel flow is contained in the maximum velocity, which, along with the entropy parameter, can determine the mean velocity. Therefore, the maximum...
