Environmental Management Issues in Developing Countries of Southeast Asia
Acknowledging the escalating concerns regarding the environmental impact of water resource projects, a serious effort must be made to identify and review environmental issues which directly...
Reservoir System Reliability Constrained by Natural Salt Pollution
A generalized reservoir system simulation model, which incorporates salinity considerations, has been developed and is presently being applied to a system of 12 reservoirs in the Brazos...
Managing Existing Reservoirs to Meet New Challenges
The current planning and management environment for many reservoirs differs significantly from the situation which existed when the projects were initially planned and constructed. Yet,...
The Challenge of Kissimmee River Restoration
Between 1962 and 1971, the Kissimmee River in central Florida was channelized by the Corps of Engineers as part of a flood control project. Channelization has resulted in degradation of...
Funding of Wastewater Reuse Systems Under the Federal Small Reclamation Projects Act
The Small Reclamation Projects Act (SRPA) and its amendments were enacted to encourage State and local participation with the Federal government in water resources development. A key element...
Proposed Development of South Central Florida Hydrologic Ecosystem Model
The Corps of Engineers has been authorized to develop and operate a simulation model of the hydrologic ecosystem of central and south Florida. This ecosystem is fragile and complex, and...
Usefulness of Low-Cost Watershed Monitoring: A Case Study
A one-year monitoring study was conducted for Harford County, Maryland to identify water quality problems and sources in the 98 mi2 Bush River watershed....
Water Management as an Instrument for Cooperation and Reconciliation
Empirical models for identifying potential water quantity and water quality conflicts in water resources development are presented. These planning models are applied to a previously developed...
Reservoir Water Quality Modeling in Northern Portugal?Some Case Studies
In the last two decades environmental problems have become a major concern in Portugal as the effects of water pollution have gradually impaired the quality of water resources. Mathematical...
Identifying the Critical Path and Building Coalitions for Restoring Degraded Areas of the Great Lakes
Since 1985, eight Great Lakes States, the Province of Ontario, and the governments of Canada and the United States have led the development and implementation of remedial action plans...
Reuse Rules
Cities that discharge sewage effluent to surface water are under increasing pressure to reduce concentrations of heavy metals, ammonium and nitrate, and substances such as toxic organic...
Risk Based Decision Support Model for Water Delivery Systems Subject to Natural Hazards
This paper presents a prototype model for analysis of potential damage and risk to water company systems in regions subject to earthquakes. Other hazards that produce loss to water distribution...

Boston's City within a City
The Massachusetts Water Resource Authority's 11-year effort to clean up Boston Harbor is in full swing. The nerve center of the project is Deer Island, a 210 acre site that...
Tensile Terminal
Few can miss a fabric roof that covers a 1.45 million sq ft area. The one covering the Denver International Airport's Landside Terminal complex (reportedly the nation's...
River Ice Research in China
Hydraulic research in China has concentrated largely on free surface flows, sediment transport, large hydraulic structures, and hydraulic machinery. River ice research activities are expanding...
Efficiency-Based Monitoring System Design
An analytical Monitoring Efficiency Model (MEMO) is presented to support the design of monitoring well networks at hazardous waste sites. The method simulates the migration of hypothetical...
Effects of Natural Gas Storage on Gas Price Forecasts
This paper explores the effects of natural gas storage on short-term gas price forecasts. At the Southern California Edison Company (Edison), the gas price forecast incorporates a multitude...
