Recent Studies on the Optimal Operation of Reservoir Systems in China
Many researchers and engineers have examined the problem of optimal operation of hydro-electric systems in order to exploit the potential of electric power generation. At the same time,...

Estimating Power Plant Cooling Water Demand
The Fayette Power Project (FPP) includes three generation units, with more than 1,500 megawatts of generating capacity, supplying electricity to more than a million Central Texans. The...

Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse for Malibu, California
Engineering-Science is providing consulting engineering services for the design of a sewer system and wastewater reclamation plant for the urban portion of Malibu, California. This project...

Wetland Valuation Based Upon Multi-Purpose Performance Evaluation
Wetland protection and restoration have become a top priority in water management. A wide variety of benefits are ascribed to wetland protection, e.g., flood control, water quality improvement,...

Environmental Restoration Project in Poland
Swedish-Polish project aiming at integrated environmental restoration of an degraded area in southern Poland is described. The project aims to demonstrate that an integrated approach,...

CSO Pollution Abatement Project Performance
The City of Trenton, NJ combined sewer overflow (CSO) pollution abatement project has been in operation for more than four years. Daily records include composite BOD₅...

Getting the Job Done Creating the Lynn Water and Sewer Commission
The Lynn Water and Sewer Commission was created in 1982 to provide a means for the City of Lynn, Massachusetts, to improve the water and sewerage service to its residents. This paper describes...

1991 Update on Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Metropolitan Chicago
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) owns intercepting sewers and seven water reclamation plants, but 125 local communities own the local sewers which...

Reliability of Model Prediction for Pump and Treat Strategies
For the remediation of aqueous phase plumes extending over large areas simulation models are often used to predict the response of the aquifer system and the contaminant concentrations...

Using a GIS to Better Manage Water Resources in Texas
This paper examines five GIS applications under development in two state agencies in Texas responsible for the management and regulation of water resources, response to and remediation...

Stormwater/Wastewater Management: How an Application Can Drive a GIS
Decision makers are finding that a much-needed application may be the key that drives the creation of a city- or county-wide Geographic Information System (GIS). A start-up GIS developed...

Utility System Demand Forecasting Using Land Use Coefficients
In rapidly changing areas where several divergent paths of future growth are possible, there are advantages to forecasting future water demands and wastewater flows using the water and...

Source Identification and Ranking of Wet Weather Discharges in an Urban Area
A study has recently been completed to characterize the pollutant loadings to the Providence River, RI during wet weather conditions. A total of 11 land based sampling stations including...

A Turbulence Model for Transverse Mixing in Rivers
A two length-scale turbulence model is developed to simulate transverse mixing prosesses in rivers. The dispersion of the effluent from the MUC (Montreal Urban Community) sewage treatment...

Computation of Flow Fields Induced by Hydroplant Releases into Lower Lock Approaches
A turbulence-based computational procedure was developed and applied to the prediction of flow fields in navigation installations induced by hydropower releases. The procedure uses a depth-averaged...

Effects of Hurricane Hugo On Water and Wastewater Systems of the Charleston Commissioners of Public Works
Hurricane Hugo had a major impact on the operations of the Charleston Commissioners of Public Works in their effort to provide safe water and wastewater service to their customers. Through...

Moored Systems for Time Series Observations of Bio-optical and Physical Variability in the Coastal Ocean
Recently, multivariable moored systems (MVMS) have been developed to study the ecology and physics of the upper ocean. Concurrent MVMS measurements provide time series of beam attenuation...
