Valuable Design Insights Derived from Construction and Operation of Kinzua Dam
A number of design alternatives have surfaced during more than 17 years of operating experience at Kinzua Dam which should be useful in the design, construction, and operation of other...
Flow and Scour Patterns around Gabion Structures
There is a need for simple, inexpensive and effective means for streambank protection and fish habitat enhancement. Initial results are presented of laboratory research on the performance...
Local Scour at Fish Rocks
There is a growing interest in the enhancement of rearing habitat for juvenile anadromous fish in the Pacific Northwest. This has focused attention on the need for a better understanding...
Operating Experience--Fine-Mesh Traveling Screens
Start-up and operating results for a new screenhouse at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, 50 miles (80 km) downstream from Minneapolis/St. Paul, are compared to design assumptions....
Report on Task Committee's Scope and Findings
A Task Committee for the Design of Outlet Control structures studied the state-of-the-art practices concerning the hydraulic function, water quality, public safety, maintenance and aesthetic...
Safety, Maintenance, and Aesthetic Considerations Associated with Outlet Control Structures for Stormwater Detention Ponds
Findings of the Task Committee for the Design of Outlet Control Structures, an ASCE Technical Committee, regarding maintenance, safety and aesthetic considerations for stormwater detention...
Design Accuracy of Stormwater Detention Basins
While the stormwater detention basin is the most frequently used method for controlling runoff from developing areas in the United States, there appears to be no statement of the probable...
Evaluation of Two-Stage Outlet Hydraulics
A two-stage detention basin is an effective storm water management tool. This type of basin is designed to control two storm events and it will tend to perform better than a single-stage...
Detention Pond Outlet Design for Pollution Control
Stormwater runoff detention ponds were originally developed for the control of flooding and the designs of the outlet control structure must be modified to obtain pollution control objectives....
Reservoir System Management for Water Quality
A reservoir system analysis computer model has been recently developed with the capability to simulate up to 10 reservoirs, 30 control points and 8 water quality parameters. With this...
Physical Hydraulic Modeling for a Small Hydroelectric Redevelopment
In the development of a small hydroelectric project, the operating head on the plant is usually limited. On these projects, the need to minimize head losses and eliminating other factors...
Realistic Hydrology for Basin Management
Several realistic yet simple methods to describe infiltration, soil moisture redistribution, aquifer recharge, canal seepage and stream-aquifer interaction in a river basin are presented...
Modeling Analysis for Management of Artificial Recharge
The objective of these groundwater and sediment modeling studies is to determine the net change in storage and potentiometric levels within the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin resulting...
Increased Reservoir Cost to Meet Instream Flow Needs
Low flow criteria need to be developed for determining the suitability of various low flow regimens for fish and wildlife. For choosing a desirable low flow release, the decision maker...
Information Retrieval Sources and Availability in Hydraulics
There is a very general unawareness of information available on hydraulic studies, application of these studies and import for other projects, and results of new project design methods....
Fisheries Engineering Program at Washington State University
Problems associated with the interrelationships of instream hydraulic structures, and migratory and resident fish, are in need of better analysis and design. This improvement can be realized...
Reservoir System Management for Hydropower
A study was undertaken to develop a comprehensive reservoir operation simulation model of the Cumberland River Basin, located in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. Hydropower production...
Artificially Varied Flow: River System Management
Some of the major water quality problems are heat, color, organic sediment, and total dissolved solids. To dilute these and other pollutants, substantial augmentation of flows for water...
LTER and Management of the Upper Mississippi River
The Upper Mississippi River is managed for multiple use by two federal agencies and five states. System management objectives include commercial navigation, commercial fisheries, minimum...
Utilizing a Wetland System for Urban Stormwater Management
The many benefits of utilizing wetland systems as an integral part of an urban stormwater management plan include flood protection (detention), water quality enhancement, and upgrading...
