United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Perspectives on the Management Improvement Program As a Vehicle for Integrated Resource Planning
The USBR's Lower Colorado Regional Office (LCR) in Boulder City, Nevada, co-sponsored the first application of the Management Improvement Program (MIP) in an irrigation district...

Eastern San Joaquin County Groundwater Resource Planning Model Development and Calibration
An Integrated Groundwater Surface Water Model (IGSM) has been developed for the Eastern San Joaquin County in the Central Valley of California to evaluate the future water resources management...

Eastern San Joaquin County Groundwater Resource Planning Alternative Analysis
An Integrated Groundwater and Surface Water Model (IGSM) has been developed and calibrated for eastern San Joaquin County in the Central Valley of California to evaluate future water resources...

Interruptible Option Contracts
Interruptible option contracts have been proposed and studied in numerous parts of the Western United States as an alternative supply option for water systems in an economically higher...

The Direction of the Point Source Program
The NPDES permit programs operate under the concept of providing for a cleaner environment by restricting the release of pollutants. Over 500,000 sources are now subject to regulation...

The Effects of Water Surface Profiles on Manning's Roughness Coefficient
The Manning Equation has wide application in engineering practice. Nonetheless, certain aspects of it are still not widely understood. Often, engineers deduce the value of Manning's...

Getting Wet with Metric
Conversion from what is now the American system of units to the SI system of units is a dry subject at best. In the water resources area, however, a rather complete immersion is going...

The Use of an Equivalent Porosity Method to Model Flow in Marshes
Two dimensional modeling of marshes under unsteady flow conditions often involves description of sections that alternately wet and dry. The equivalent porosity method (King and Roig, 1988;...

Irrigation of Grain Sorghum on the Delmarva Peninsula
Irrigated grain sorghum experiments were conducted for two years on a Norfolk sandy loam soil. Full irrigation was compared to partial irrigation and no irrigation in a randomized block...

Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Storm Water Quality Assessments, Los Angeles, California
This study included a general assessment of the surface water quality conditions within the Los Angeles County area by examination of the surface water quality data collected by LACDPW...

Water Resources Planning for the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana
Water resources planning in Indian Country has produced varied results. On the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes are using an integrated approach to managing...

Regional Economic Impacts of a Land Fallowing Program?The Palo Verde Test Land Fallowing Program Case Study
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and the Palo Verde Irrigation District (PVID) implemented a two-year test land fallowing program (Program) from August 1, 1992...

Stochastic Determination of Wave Heights for Flood Control Channels
Physical model data for subcritical and supercritical flow has been collected and analyzed to determine a statistically-based relationship for wave runup heights in a trapezoidal channel....

A Knowledge Based System for the Design of Open Channels
The design of open channel facilities often calls for evaluation of a unique set of physical conditions which do not lend themselves to standard designs and textbook solutions. Consequently,...

Effect of Reservoir Hedging on Crop Yield Under Deficit Irrigation Conditions
In case of irrigation projects, irrigation scheduling at the field has a direct bearing on yield crops. Hence, the various reservoir operating policies considered have to be evaluated...

Salinity Management for the Upper Gila River
Over development and over allocation of the limited water supply of the S afford valley in eastern Arizona has resulted in serious depletion of water for irrigation in the San Carlos Apache...

Analyzing Water Balances and Ranking Maryland's Watersheds Related to Growth, Development and Loss of Habitat
One hundred thirty three watersheds comprising the entire state were analyzed for surface and ground water balance. Census population figures (1990) were allocated to the watersheds. Population...

When Toxics Meet Metal
Zero-valent iron is an emerging remediation technology that transforms chlorinated solvents to harmless substances. Engineers and researchers have been studying the process for about five...

Guidelines for Field Evaluations of Pothole Repairs
Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report describes the HITEC evaluation plan for Bondade,...

Artificial Recharge of Ground Water II
The Second International Symposium on Artificial Recharge of Ground Water was held in Orlando, Florida from July 17-22, 1995 and sponsored by the ASCE Special Standards Division, the ASCE...
