Experiences of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Pittsburgh in Collecting Real-Time Water Control Data
As a result of an ever increasing need to optimize water use, 'Reservoir Regulation' has evolved into what is now known as 'Water Control Management'. In addition to the flood control...
Mesonets--A Solution to Improving Flood Forecasting
Floods continue to cause major destruction annually despite the efforts of Federal water resources agencies. Improved flood forecasts can reduce flood damages and corresponding loss of...
Water Supply Demand Forecast
In this study, estimates of location, quantity and timing of water demands have been investigated for determination of the adequacy of an existing water supply system, the need for additional...
ENDOW, An Expert System for Screening Environmental Features for Stream Alternations
This paper discusses development of an expert system for Environmental Design of Waterways Projects (ENDOW) by stream alteration specialists who were novices in artificial intelligence....
Expert System for Mixing Zone Analysis of Toxic and Conventional Discharges
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a series of software subsystems for the analysis, prediction and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into watercourses...
Urban Stormwater Drainage Design by Modified ILLUDAS
The Illinois Urban Drainage Area Simulator (ILLUDAS) has been extended for continuous simulation by considering dry periods between storms. The model accepts predetermined hydrographs...
Design of Seepage Fields for Stormwater Disposal
Stricker Pond is a shallow twenty-acre kettle hole pond in south-central Wisconsin. The pond receives runoff from a closed watershed that is rapidly undergoing low density residential...
Interagency Standards for Automated Local Flood Warning Systems
The need exists for establishing guidelines and standards for aspects of local flood warning systems. The demand for increased flood warning systems is expected to increase due to the...
Feasibility Studies of Flood Warning-Response Plans
Local flood warning-emergency preparedness plans consist of hardware, technical activities, and formal and informal inter- and intra-organizational arrangements and commitments to performance...
Optimal Flood Warning and Preparedness Plans
This paper includes a framework for selecting the optimal investment in warning and preparedness activity. The primary factors which might influence the magnitude of cost and damage are...
Overview of a Real-Time Flood Management Model
A flood management model was developed for the operation of the six reservoirs making up the Highland Lakes System on the Colorado River in Texas. The model allows simulation of over 700...
Emerson, Iowa Flood Warning System
A flood warning system was installed in 1985 by the Corps of Engineers at Emerson, Iowa as part of Emerson, Iowa Flood Control Project on Indian Creek. The warning system consists of two...
The Santa Ana River Flood Forecasting System
A real-time flood forecasting and reservoir operations simulation system has been developed for the Santa Ana River Basin, located in southern California. The system consists of generalized...
Denver Area Real Time System
This paper presents a discussion of the development of the Denver Area Real Time System which will be used to regulate the Denver reservoir system on a real-time basis. Its main components...
Groundwater Modeling - A Management Tool
A hydrogeologic investigation within the South Mountain Complex of south central Pennsylvania was performed to develop a groundwater management program. Using LandSat imagery, low altitude...
Well Field Management Designed to Miminize Impact on Surface-Water Flow
Restrictions placed on the operation of a well field used for public water supply initiated an investigation to develop management techniques that would maximize utilization of the well...
Underground Drainage of Urban Runoff from Natural Depressions
A unique subsurface system was designed and implemented for draining such a natural depression in the City of West Lake Hills, Texas. This subsurface drainage system uses a part of the...
Evaluation of Stormwater Management Structures in Maryland Proportioned by SCS TR-55
Various state and local agencies in Maryland are requiring that the Soil Conservation Service Technical Release 55 be used to evaluate impact of urbanization on peak rates of discharge....
Heppner, Oregon Flood Warning System: An Interagency Cooperative Effort
The flood warning system is a network of event-actuated precipitation and river level gages in two flash flood prone drainage basins of 44 and 6. 8 square mile areas. These basins enter...
Minimizing the Impact of Salinity Intrusion Due to Sea Level Rise
A rise in sea level will cause saline water to intrude up estuaries including those adjacent to aquifers with major pumping centers. During a drought a significant amount of saline estuary...
