Modern and Historic Mapping of Tidal Marshlands of San Francisco Bay, California
In this work, studies were made of two marshland sites shown on the old maps that presently remain subject to tidal action. For each site, historic maps dating from the 1850's were accurately...

Geologic Review: A Successful Procedure for the Minimization of the Impact of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production on Louisiana Wetlands
An effective procedure to minimize the amount of wetlands impacted by oil and gas well access routes has been developed. The procedure consists of a stringent geologic review of every...

Federal Policies in Water Resources Planning
The adequacy of current federal policies and institutional arrangements for water resources planning is assessed. Conclusions and recommendations are presented in five key areas: (1) Water...

Engineering Surveying Manual
This manual is directed at the engineering manager who is responsible for planning and executing engineering projects which require the assistance of specialists in engineering surveying....

An Instrumented Soil-Pipe System: Automated Data Acquisition and Management
A 16-in. natural gas pipeline near Racine, Wisconsin, had been in service for some 30 years. In 1982 road widening operations on a line parallel with the pipe resulted in a heavily trafficked...

Survey of Computer Use in Hydraulics and Hydrology
The surveyed population consists of the 58 member firms of the Consulting Engineers Council of Colorado practicing in the area of water resources. 90 percent of these firms use computers...

Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Thermal Compliance Monitoring Network: Utilization of Data
An automated water temperature monitoring network was designed to measure ambient and downstream heated river temperatures at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) in Wheeler Reservoir. The...

Urban Stormwater Investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey
Urban stormwater hydrology studies in the U. S. Geological Survey are currently focused on compilation of national data bases containing flood-peak and short time-interval rainfall, discharge...

Watershed Research at Konza?Tallgrass Prairie
The Konza Prairie Research Natural Area is the only tallgrass prairie site in the network of Long-Term Ecological Research sites. Watershed research at Konza is designed to assist in increasing...

Exfiltration Trench Design as Part of a Stormwater Management Plan
The paper discusses a program structured to assist the design consultant or the agency reviewer by means of a menu driven format. A flood routing microcomputer program developed by the...

Automation of a River Model
The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) has used physical models to study sedimentation problems since 1931. With the recent advent of new technology, it was realized...

Measurement of Hydraulic Conductivity Variation
For a confined, sandy aquifer, the dependence of the horizontal hydraulic conductivity on the vertical coordinate has been measured using single-well tracer injection/recovery experiments....

Recent Developments in Hydrologic Instrumentation
The availability of space-age materials and implementation of state-of-the-art electronics is making possible the recent developments of hydrologic instrumentation. Material developments...

Littoral Environment Observation Program
This paper presents a method for determining the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical dispersivities of a thick aquifer for a free convection tracer test using only measurements from...

Computer Management Concepts for Student Engineering
This paper presents many of the principles and concepts being taught to engineers of the future concerning their use of computer related activities. For example, from the cost/risk/benefit...

Encouraging and Controlling Use of Automation
Judicious use of automation can greatly enhance the productivity of an engineering staff. Integration of multiple computing processes with technology such as plotting, digitizing, total...

Limits on Dynamic Measurements and Instrumentation
The implementation of the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) into portable instrumentation has contributed to advances not only in signal analysis but also to new and improved transducers for...

Shallow Seismic Exploration in Soil Dynamics
Methods of shallow seismic exploration of soils are continually developing and evolving. Advances in techniques and equipment for performing crosshole and downhole tests, new data on interpretation...

Microcomputer Software Support at the State Level
This paper describes a case where the organizational approach to microcomputer control was taken and contrasts the results with optimal individual systems within the group. In this context,...

Field Data Collection for Traffic Studies
