Revising a Reservoir Rule Curve for Multiple Uses
The Jackson Hydroelectric Project generates power, supplies municipal water, provides flood control, maintains anadromous fishery minimum instream flows and studies various reservoir rule...
Risk Consideration in Water Supply Reservoir Capacity Design
This study develops a method for estimating the risk in reservoir capacity design by applying frequency analysis to the mass curve method. It provides a means for the engineer to use familiar...
Risk Management for Water Supplies During Droughts
This paper describes a method for deriving policies for the operation of public water supplies under impending and actual drought conditions. Unlike previous models based on optimization...
Determining Impacts of Sediment Using Cesium-137
Tecumseh Lake, in east-central Oklahoma, completed about 1934, has been identified by the Oklahoma Water Resource Board as a water supply critical to future development of the state. Aerial...
Stochastic Model for the Management of a Stream-Aquifer System
The management of a system of groundwater and surface water requires that the hydraulic connection of the two sources be investigated. The inherent uncertainties that exist in the data,...
Managing Microcomputer Applications
The authors have recently completed a study of microcomputer usage in Corps of Engineers planning activities. The study developed a training document for Corps managers, entitled 'Managing...
Living with a Macintosh in an IBM World
The Macintosh computer is widely praised for several characteristics: high resolution graphics, common program user interface, user friendliness including extensive use of a mouse, and...
Making Microcomputer Based CADD Systems Productive
The introduction of microcomputer based CADD systems has made CADD affordable to small engineering firms. Many have not been able to make their CADD system productive. The sources of poor...
An Analysis of Hourly Water Use in Austin, Texas
While it is possible to calculate water use over a fairly short period of time, this only yields a single value for peak use. It does not give a comprehensive understanding of the frequency,...
The Remedial Action Plan for the Fox River, Wisconsin
The nature of and need for Remedial Action Plans (RAP) in 42 areas of the Great Lakes is reviewed with special attention given to the Fox River and Lower Green Bay area. A brief historical,...
Hydrogeology of a Barrier Island System, Nags Head, North Carolina
The purpose of this research was to understand the dynamics of the water table prior to the start of municipal pumping and to predict the effect that the pumping would have upon the water...
IWR-Main?Version 5.1?An IBM-PC or Compatible Water Use Forecasting System
The IWR-MAIN water use forecasting system is a sophisticated and flexible computer program designed for estimating and forecasting municipal water requirements. The IWR-MAIN system is...
A Front End Expert System for the Calibration of SWMM Runoff Block
An expert system is discussed which acts as a front end to the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) for the purpose of preparation of data input and parameter selection. The structure of...
Water Assurance Districts: A New Concept in Local Government
Society has long utilized local governmental units to implement numerous water management functions. This paper discusses a new and relatively unique local organizational structure now...
Water Supply Critical Areas
Due to the serious overuse of groundwater resources which has led to the continued decline of the potentiometric surface of certain aquifers below sea level, and to real and potential...
Conflict Management Task Committee Approach
The Task Committee on Conflict Management (coordinated by the Social and Environmental Objectives and Impacts Committee, WRPMD), was established to develop guidelines for use by water...
The Conservation Foundation's Handbook on Resolving Water Resource Disputes
As part of a cooperative effort with the ASCE's Water Resources Planning and Management Division, The Conversation Foundation is working to develop a handbook for resolving...
Great Lakes Levels: Toward Systematic Decision Making
The International Joint Commission (IJC) has authority given by the governments of Canada and the United States to use existing works to regulate the lakes system according to agreed-to...
A Linear Dynamic Programming Model for the Optimal Allocation of Water in Groundwater Dependent Areas
The purpose of this paper is to describe an efficient computer-aided planning method using linear and dynamic programming together with a finite difference groundwater model to determine...
Application of a GIS to a Ground Water Classification System
New more effective methods of ground water management are being developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) including an anticipatory conceptual State ground...
