A numerical model called CORALSIM has been developed for the Key Largo Coral Reef National Marine Sanctuary in the Florida Keys. The model was developed as a management tool to study the...
Micro-Computer Water Develoment Screening Models
A micro-computer screening model was developed to analyze the physical and economic efficiencies of a large number of alternative options associated with a given water development project....
Large Scale Water Resources Systems Planning-Approach and Case Study
Planning approach for large scale water resource systems planning backed by models has been developed. Four hierarchial stages are identified and mulitlevel multiobjective models have...
The Water Resources Models of the Instream Flow Group
The Instream Flow Group of the US Fish and Wildlife Service has five analytical systems designed to assist in the development of instream flow criteria for water resources projects. Models...
Computer Model for Wastewater Reclamation
This paper describes how an efficient computer model can be constructed and used to evaluate planning options for wastewater reclamation. The situation in the City of Scottsdale, Arizona,...
Personnel Policies for Operations Management in the Computer Age
The human factor is an essential ingredient and the key element in successful computer applications for water resources or any other field. Engineers in general, and engineering managers...
Parameter Identification in Water System Models
Parameter identification (PI) is an automatic model calibration technique with which the unknown physical parameters in a mathematical model are determined from a constrained optimization...
Digital Simulation of Flows in Hawaiian Soils
In attempting to numerically solve the nonlinear equation for flows in porous media, the Galerkin process, which bears a great similarity to direct methods of the calculus of variations,...
Reliability and Risk Assessment for Water Supply Systems
Analytical methods for computing the reliability of water supply systems are described and demonstrated. A case study serves to show how risk, which is the economic loss due to shortfalls,...
Reliability Analysis of Urban Water Supply
The high economic and environmental costs of large water supply projects are forcing engineers to consider not only alternative means of increasing system reliability, such as interconnections,...
A Post-Audit of the Potomac Eutrophication Model
An unusual, unexpected, and unpredicted event - the Potomac Algae Bloom of 1983 - prompted a post-audit examination of the primary tool being used for guiding the continuing development...
A Riverine Toxic Spill Model
In the event of a spill of toxic material reaching the main stem of the Potomac River, predictive information regarding its location and concentration would aid in the minimization of...
Hydraulic Profile Computation Using CADD
The data preparation can also be performed by directly recording onto a computer tape the aerial survey cross section ground points and the field survey work. A computer program can then...
BAKWATR (3)--Computation of Gradually Varied Flow
The BAKWATR computer program computes profiles of gradually varied flow in open channels of irregular shape using a microcomputer. Channel cross sections are defined by a series of points...
Optimal Muskingum River Routing
The Muskingum method of river routing is well established and frequently used. An attempt is made to improve the method by optimal selection of the model parameters. The common linear...
Setup and Usage of Multitasking Microcomputers for Water Management Problem Solving
Software and hardware that were developed in the evolution of the microcomputer from the Altair to today's state of the art multitasking systems are discussed. The rationale...
Groundwater Models in Choosing Water Treatment Methods
This paper presents an example of the use of groundwater models to identify the source of contamination and then design a treatment scheme. Included is a discussion of several different...
Simultaneous Withdrawal of Saline/Fresh Waters in a Stratified Aquifer
The objective of this study is to develop computational tools for simulating the flow behavior of an aquifer in response to simultaneous pumping of two stratified fluids from both sides...
