Weather Modification Versus Drought?No Contest
The Colorado River Municipal Water District has sponsored a summertime West Texas cloud-seeding program to increase rainfall in each year since 1970. Because of the program's...
Satellite Remote Sensing for Regional Crop Inventories
LANDSAT 4 and 5 Satellite spectral images of the Columbia Basin were obtained during the 1984, 1985 and 1986 growing seasons by Cropix, Inc. of Hermiston, Oregon. A field classification...
Establishing a Monitoring Program for Formulating Water Quality Objectives in a Transboundary Reach
A systematic approach to the establishment of a monitoring program for formulating water quality objectives in the Similkameen River should include the following interactive steps: 1)...
Report of Task Committee on the Collection and Publication of Basic Water Resources Data
In 1983 members of the Irrigation and Drainage Division's Committee on Surface Water expressed concern over reductions in funding for data collection and publication programs in the United...
The Applicability of Satellite Altimetry Data to Tidal Models
Different tidal regimes require different data assimilation schemes. In all cases, however, it is better to perform a separate tidal solution before assimilation. For proper assimilation...
Spatial Attenuation of Major Pennsylvania Storms
To utilize point estimates for more expansive areas, reduction factors are necessary to account for the attenuation of storm magnitude with increasing area. The spatial attenuation of...
Experiences of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Pittsburgh in Collecting Real-Time Water Control Data
As a result of an ever increasing need to optimize water use, 'Reservoir Regulation' has evolved into what is now known as 'Water Control Management'. In addition to the flood control...
The Estimation of Rainfall for Flood Forecasting Using Radar and Rain Gage Data
The use of radar-rainfall data in combination with rain gage measurements may improve rainfall estimates over those based on either form of measurement alone. A set of rainfall analysis...
Interagency Standards for Automated Local Flood Warning Systems
The need exists for establishing guidelines and standards for aspects of local flood warning systems. The demand for increased flood warning systems is expected to increase due to the...
The Santa Ana River Flood Forecasting System
A real-time flood forecasting and reservoir operations simulation system has been developed for the Santa Ana River Basin, located in southern California. The system consists of generalized...
Denver Area Real Time System
This paper presents a discussion of the development of the Denver Area Real Time System which will be used to regulate the Denver reservoir system on a real-time basis. Its main components...
Effect of Length of Precipitation Record on Recharge Estimates
The effect of the length of precipitation record on groundwater recharge estimates is examined using data from eleven precipitation gages located on the Nevada Test Site. It is concluded...
Flood Forecasting with Minimal Data
The Corps of Engineers' HEC-1 program has been used with a specialized pre-processor program to provide interim emergency flood forecasting for a 4000 sq mi (10,360 sq km) watershed in...
Heppner, Oregon Flood Warning System: An Interagency Cooperative Effort
The flood warning system is a network of event-actuated precipitation and river level gages in two flash flood prone drainage basins of 44 and 6. 8 square mile areas. These basins enter...
Drought Analysis in the Ohio River Basin
This study formulates the drought series, including drought occurrence time, duration, and deficit volume by the use of daily streamflows and a tracer level of one-half mean value. The...
Fault-Tolerant Design for Data Acquisition and Flood Forecast Systems
An innovative fault tolerant flood warning system is currently being installed in the Passaic River Basin. The new system is designed to automatically tolerate the failure of major components...
Modified CIMIS Irrigation Scheduling Program
CIMIS, California Irrigation Management Information System, is a program that collects weather data around the state to assist irrigators in planning and scheduling their irrigations....
Full-Scale On-Site Wind Induced Data From a Tall Building
Under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation (NSF), a large amount of data accumulated in a study of the behavior of a tall building under the influence of winds will be made...
Field Experiments for Wind Pressures
A project is underway at Texas Tech University to acquire wind and building surface pressure data in the field. Objectives of the project are to obtain a reliable data base for external...
On Steel Connection Data Bank at Purdue University
The aim of the establishment of the steel beam-to-column connection data bank program at Purdue University in 1986 was to provide the necessary data base for the determination of the moment-rotation...
