Sensitivity of Model Choice in Reservoir Design
The Box-Jenkins method of model construction and tests of model adequacy and fit are applied to a reservoir design problem. The sensitivity of the stochastic models used to generate synthetic...
Stochastic Analysis and Modeling Levels of a Land-Locked Lake for Resource Development
Lakes are valuable natural resources that can be tapped for recreational, agricultural and other extensive lake side developments. Natural variability of lake levels is an important factor...
Reservoir Planning Using Marketable Water Rights
The needs and approaches for developing efficient methods for the allocation of natural water supplies and efficient planning methods for the design and operation of reservoirs and other...

Will Southern California Revert to a Desert?
The nearly 13 million people in Southern California - one-half of California's population - face the prospect of water shortages in the near future. These people depend on...
Special Drought Operations of Oroville Reservoir
Special operations of Oroville Reservoir during the 1976-77 California drought resulted in good spawning conditions in the Feather River for migrating king salmon. Special cold water releases...
Development of the Rio De La Plata Hydrographic Basin
The rivers and climate of the basin are described. Available and developed hydropower sites are presented. The international consequences of various water management schemes are discussed....
Goals and Objectives in Design of Detention Outlets
Goals are the broad general purposes of the detention pond and its outlet works. A typical goal for a detention pond would be to help manage storm runoff so as to maintain historic conditions...
Fluorescent Tracer Mixing Experiments in Glenmore Reservoir, Calgary
Mixing studies using salt and dye as tracers were conducted in Glenmore Reservoir which is the major water supply for the City of Calgary, Alberta. The purpose of the studies was to find...
Economics and Groundwater
The increasing use of groundwater has resulted in greater lifts, and coupled with increased energy costs is focusing more attention on the economics of groundwater use. The proceedings...
Checking Out Computer Programs
Instead of reading through program listings, the authors propose that you check out computer programs by acquiring and evaluating the program's user documentation, evaluating...
Jordans Precast Airport
The design and construction of the New Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan required extensive innovation and site adaptation to integrate international standards with the...
Evaluating Pump Characteristics in Developing Countries
How do you assess normal operating characteristics for pumps used in small water supply systems when no information on the pumps is available and when the technicians have little technical...
Superplasticizers: Reducing Water in Concrete
Superplasticizers or high-range water reducers are new types of chemical admixtures which when incorporated into concrete can cause significant increases in its slump but without any loss...
Asphalt: Great Expectations
A $50 million, five year research program has been proposed for research into asphalt as part of the larger ($150 million) Strategic Transportation Research Study (STRS). The research...
Disinfecting with Ultraviolet Radiation
The benefits of disinfecting treated effluent to meet discharge permits with ultraviolet radiation instead of ozone or chlorine are that it does not produce toxic chemical residuals like...
A Standard for the Measurement of Oxygen Transfer in Clean Water
This standard was developed to measure the rate of oxygen transfer from diffused gas and mechanical oxygenation devices to water. The standard is applicable to laboratory scale oxygenation...
Research Needs Related to the Nation's Infrastructure
