Suspended-Solids Flux at a Shallow-Water Site in South San Francisco Bay, California
Time series measurements of current velocity and suspended solids-concentration (SSC) made during December 1993 and March 1994 at a shallow-water site in South San Francisco Bay were used...
Field Determination of Flow through a Pressure Regulating Valve
This paper presents a computer methodology to calculate flow through a pressure regulating valve for different opening percentages and a given pressure differential. The methodology is...
Comparison of Worst-Case and Probabilistic Approaches to Ocean Outfall Mixing Zone Analysis
Two approaches have been used for ocean outfall mixing zone analysis: worst-case approach and probabilistic approach. This paper discusses some advantages and disadvantages of the worst-case...
Use of the Metric System in Water Resources
ASCE has advocated use of the metric system since 1876, and the Board of Direction's policy statement specifically urges use of SI in all civil engineering activities. In...
