Climatic Change and Ensuing Risks Facing Water Resources Managers
Global climatic changes will have a significant effect on the utilization of regional water resources and will influence markedly the operation and management of water storage and delivery...
Overview of AWARE: A Software Tool for Balancing Power and Nonpower Values in Water Resource Planning
Decision Focus Incorporated has developed a software tool for the Electric Power Research Institute to help utilities and other water resource planners examine the social trade-offs between...
An Innovative Institutional Arrangement Which Incorporates the Risk Preferences of Water Users
An innovative institutional arrangement that incorporates the risk preferences of water users is being refined in Australia. It is especially relevant for river and reservoir management...
Reliability-Centered Management of Wood Transmission Lines
Through implementing reliability-centered management concepts, more cost-effective management of wood pole transmission lines may be achieved. By identifying individual structures and...
Earthquake Ground Motion Modeling with Stochastic Line Source
Principles of geophysics and stochastics are applied to develop an earthquake model, in which the earth medium is idealized as consisting of stratified elastic layers, responding to seismic...
Soil/Structure Seismic Investigation of Safety-Related Structures
This paper promotes an improved understanding of the type of earthquake motions felt at V.C. Summery, Perry and Krsko nuclear power plants. An analytical investigation is performed to...
Fatigue Life Variability and Reliability Analysis of a Wind Turbine Blade
Wind turbines must withstand harsh environments that induce many stress cycles into their components. A numerical analysis package is used to illustrate the sobering variability in predicted...
Tapping Shallow Groundwater with Horizontal Wells
In recent years, horizontal wells have become an economical water supply source alternative for many shallow water table areas in Florida. Horizontal wells typically utilize 15 to 20 cm...
Wellfield Protection Program in Broward County, Florida
The Potable Water Wellfield Protection Program was initiated early in 1981. It examined land uses in the County, made an inventory of potential ground water pollution sources, compiled...
Groundwater Management in Southern Florida
A water supply plan was developed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for Hendry County, Florida as part of the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. In the course of...
Ground Water Management in Arkansas
Arkansas has historically enjoyed plentiful water and has typically resolved water conflicts with case by case application of common law. As agricultural, industrial and domestic water...
Use of the TETrans Model in Predicting ET Effects on Groundwater Quality
Recently Corwin and Waggoner (1991) developed a contaminant transport software package referred to as TETrans, (acronym for Trace Element Transport). TETrans is a useful preliminary assessment...
