Dredged Slurry Stabilization for Seagirt Marine Terminal
The Seagirt Marine Terminal is constructed on reclaimed land on dredged spoil from the I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. Three stabilization procedures considered applicable...
Steady-Site Dispersion of Pollutants in Rivers Near Sewage or Drainage Outfalls
A theoretical model is developed for determination of concentration distribution of pollutants in a river. Pollution is caused by the disposal followed by dispersion of sewage or drainage...
Predicting Ground-Water Drainage to Surface Mines
A two-dimensional, finite-difference numerical model is used to simulate the drainage of ground water into a surface coal mine. Graphs of dimensionless head as a function of dimensionless...
High Streamflow Behaviors in the Ohio River Basin
The intensity function, which describes the severity of the flood occurrences, is a critical factor in flood control and reservoir operation. It is found that the occurrence rates of high...
Cavitation in Various Types of Shear Flow
Cavitation in turbulent shear flow depends on the intensity and spectral characteristics of the pressure fluctuations in a Lagrangian frame of reference as well as depending on the concentration...
Hydraulics and Hydrology of Border Irrigation
Proper description of the hydraulics of irrigation of farmland is necessary in management. Many descriptions of furrow or border irrigation are not adequate to describe truly physically...
Decreases in Runoff and Sediment Yield by Drainage
Runoff and sediment yield from three small agricultural watersheds were measured during four winter rainfall seasons. Following two rainfall seasons of data collection, a subsurface drainage...
Decision Making in Establishing Instream Flow Needs in Minnesota
Allocation of water for instream use depends upon how well the need and justification for instream flows can be communicated to decision makers. The analysis and presentation of instream...
Mackenzie River Breakup: Ft. Simpson to Ft. Good Hope, N. W. T.
Breakup progression on the Mackenzie River in 1982 and 1983 is described. Two types of breakup, and two types of ice jam formation associated with these, were identified. The major role...
Boston Tunes Up Water System
In 1977, Boston's water supply system had so many leaks and so many unmetered or undermetered customers that only about half the water entering the system was accounted for....
Ditch Flow Program
Seventeenth in the CE Computing BASICS series, the program in this article is for simplifying drainage calculations. The program will provide critical and normal velocities, depths and...
Water Supply
In 1982, the Washington Metropolitan Area took steps to optimize its water supply for the next 50 years or more. Using state-of-the-art water resource management techniques, the local...
Advances in Irrigation and Drainage
Surviving External Pressures
This collection of papers, presented at the 1983 ASCE Irrigation and Drainage Specialty Conference held in Jackson, Wyoming, July 20-22, 1983, cover a variety of topics related to irrigation...
In Third World Villages, a Simple Handpump Saves Lives
Millions die each year and many more suffer in the developing countries from diseases spread by contaminated water. In fact, it is estimated that 80% of all disease in the world is due...
Urban Hydrology Progress Since 1979 in Australia
This report highlights urban hydrological activity in Australia in the period 1979-1983, since the earlier reports by Aitken (1976) and Aitken and Laurenson (1979). The high level of interest...
Urban Hydrology and Catchment Research in the United Kingdom - Progress Since 1979
The Wallingford Procedure for the design and analysis of urban drainage systems was released in late 1981 for use by drainage engineers in the United Kingdom. This was the most significant...
Progress in Urban Hydrology in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1979
The importance of urban water problems have been increasingly realized in the 70's also in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). State authorities, communities, universities,...
Urban Runoff Research in Poland - Progress Since 1979
Research concerning urban hydrology in the scope necessary for drainage and urban runoff is financed in Poland within the framework of the Government Research Program Development and utilization...
Prgoress Since 1979 in India
Since India is a developing nation urban flood control benefits which are 'negative goods' have a low priority. Recently there is an increased awareness in India...
Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Venezuela
Rapid population growth and the concentration of almost 40% of the total population (1981 Census) in the narrow valleys of the northern mountain ranges, a tropical climate with a very...
