RSS: A Construction Kit for Visual Programming of River Basin Models
With the ever increasing pressure on environmental resources, there exists strong interest in river basin models which can be used to simulate proposed policy alternatives. Traditionally,...

Development of a Raw Water Master Plan Model to Assist Long Range Drought and Water Conservation Planning for the City of Louisville, Colorado
The City of Louisville, a municipal corporation charged with meeting the water demands of almost 5,000 water accounts and faced with a diminishing supply of available senior water rights...

Application of Computer Support for Water Quality Management
A Computer-Aided Support System for operation of the QUAL2E-UNCAS river water quality model has been developed for the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, North Coastal Region....

Graphics User Interface for Water Quality Model Calibration
The UC Davis Water Resources Modeling Group developed a unique Graphical Use Interface (GUI) in the Microsoft Windows environment to facilitate use of the stream mode QUAL2E for the Russian...

Remarks on Computer-Use History in Water Resources
Over the past 50 years, use of electronic computers has radically changed water resources engineering practice. It has enhanced capabilities, reduced costs and improved reliability. It...

Hydrologic Analysis of Leveed Interior Areas
Flood damage reduction projects that include levees or flood walls usually involve special problems associated with isolated interior areas. Storm runoff patterns may be altered and remedial...

Global Approaches for the Nonconvex Optimization of Pipe Networks
Because the pipe network problem is nonconvex, two global search schemes, MULTISTART and ANNEALING, are employed to permit a local optimum seeking method to migrate among various local...

Pipe Network Optimisation Using Genetic Algorithms
A new optimization technique of generic algorithms has recently been successfully applied to pipe network optimization. In this paper a parametric analysis is carried out of the genetic...

Non Contact, Remote Sensing of Buried Water Pipeline Leaks Using Infrared Thermography
Subsurface water pipelines, sewer and buried utilities throughout America and the rest of the world range in age from hundreds of years old to brand new. They all have, however, one fact...

Empowering Stakeholders Through Simulation in Water Resources Planning
During the past two years, researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have had the unique opportunity to facilitate and observe the development of drought planning activities associated...

The Potomac Experience?A Forerunner of DPS
Thirty years ago, dramatic events were about to begin in Potomac River basin with the publication of a report of study recommending 16 major reservoirs and hundreds of small ones to solve...

The Role of Object Oriented Simulation Models in the Drought Preparedness Studies
One of the major activities in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Drought Preparedness Studies (DPS) has been the development of water resource simulation models for each study site. This...

Demonstrating Competition for a Limited Resource in the Cedar/Green Basins
An object oriented model building tool is used to develop two river basin simulation models. The models will be used to help manage the water resource during dry years in the Cedar and...

Multiparty Model Development Using Object-Oriented Programming
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) has taken advantage of recent advances in object oriented programming to build a flexible input and output model of its water supply...

A Comparison of Short Term Forecast Methods for Municipal Water Use
Water utilities routinely develop long range demand forecasts for use in the normal planning activities. In recent years, many utilities have sought to develop more short-term demand forecasts...

Agricultural Water Conservation Technology Transfer
Efforts to implement computer programs which encourage water and energy conservation in the Columbia Basin, are described. Irrigators use the irrigation scheduling program to receive recommendations...

Continuous Simulation Modeling for Sewer Systems
The peaking-factor method of sanitary sewer design was developed to simplify the calculations in determining design flow rates. This method of analysis is conservative to the point that...

Interactive Decision Support for Hydrologic, Hydraulic, & Instream Flow Criteria
Most often, impacts on natural resources from alternative river discharges are not quantified. The personal computer (PC) can provide access to useful techniques for analyzing multiobjective...

Computer Analysis of Cable-Stayed & Suspension Bridges
The finite element structural analysis of long span bridges is an area of research that has been studied within the past thirty years since the development and emergence of the digital...

F. E. Everett Turnpike: An Application of MOSS
MOSS surface modeling software is being used successfully by Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, Inc., on a major project for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to make improvements...
