HEC-1 and HEC-2 Applications on the Microcomputer
The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed versions of the HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph Package and the HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles programs for MS/PC-DOS compatible microcomputers...
Evaluation of Surface-Water - Ground-Water Interaction Coefficients in Water-Resources Planning Model
A water-resources planning model formulated as a mixed-integer program is used to screen and sequence proposed projects such that the present cost of meeting future water demands is minimized....
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...
Seasonal Rule Curve Reservoir Operation
This paper addresses the potential for increasing the beneficial use of existing reservoirs in the state of Texas through seasonal rule curve release policies. Seasonally varying operating...
Modified CIMIS Irrigation Scheduling Program
CIMIS, California Irrigation Management Information System, is a program that collects weather data around the state to assist irrigators in planning and scheduling their irrigations....
Irrigation Systems for the 21st Century
This book contains papers presented at the ASCE Irrigation and Drainage Division specialty conference, Irrigation Systems for the 21st Century, held in Portland, Oregon, July, 1987. Environmental...
Planning, Operation, Rehabilitation and Automation of Irrigation Water Delivery Systems
The papers included in this book were presented at the ASCE conference on planning, operation, rehabilitation and automation of irrigation water delivery systems. The conference and this...
Application of Satellite Remote Sensing for Identification of Irrigated Lands in the Newlands Project (
As one element of Operating Criteria and Procedures for the Newlands Project in west-central Nevada, the Bureau of Reclamation has compiled an irrigation water rights spatial data base....
Main Canal Headworks Hydroelectric Project
This project is being installed at the Dry Falls Dam, Coulee City, Washington, adjacent to the Main Canal Headworks which controls the irrigation releases to the Columbia Basin Project....
Impact of Economic Factors on Development of the Lower Euphrates Basin in Turkey
The case of Lower Euphrates in Turkey represents fairly well the dynamic character of multi-purpose projects with respect to technological developments and changes in economic factors....
Artificial Ice Islands for Deep Water and Production Structures
The need for an island to survive the summer melt season is introduced. To account for surface melting and erosion from waves and currents during this season, the island's...
A Laboratory Study of Factors Affecting Wetted Snow Roads
A brief review of the the literature concerning the application of water to the surface of snow roads is presented. It is demonstrated that there is no general agreement on the proper...
Problems of Spectral Analysis in Dispersion Tests
The use of dispersive surface waves and spectral analysis methods is new to the nondestructive testing of airfield pavements. Such tests are to determine whether mechanical properties...
On Analysis of Dynamic Structure/Media Interaction
A version of the Global-Local Finite Element Method (GLFEM) is applied to the analysis of soil-structure interaction under steady-state excitation. The soil medium is considered to be...
Effect of Particle Size on Sludge Dewaterability
Using a modified Buchner funnel apparatus to measure specific resistance and a sequential centrifugation/filtration procedure to fractionate a sludge, it was possible to more precisely...
Agricultural Drainage Policy in the United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural drainage policies in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) generally call for improving the root zone environment for crop production while protecting the resource...
Deferred Drainage?Prudent Policy or Tactical Folly?
The practice of deferring drains has not always worked out as planned. This is particularly true of large outlet drains such as the San Luis Drain in the Central Valley of California and...
The Local Perspective on Agricultural Drainage
This paper discusses shallow, perched groundwater and resulting agricultural drainage and salt problems that have developed in the San Joaquin Valley of California over the past 30 years....
Diamond Fork Hydroelectric Power Development
The Strawberry Valley Project was conceived in the early 1890s as an irrigation project to supply a maximum of 635 cfs of water from the Strawberry Reservoir through a 3. 8-mile-long tunnel...
