Modeling Combined Stresses on Aquatic Ecosystems
A mechanistic ecosystem response model is being developed by incorporating exposure/response relationships for selected natural and anthropogenic stresses into an existing hydrodynamic...
Effect of Pump-Ins on California Aqueduct Water Quality
A model has been developed, based on the assumption of constant Aqueduct volume, to predict the effect of ground water pump-ins on Aqueduct water quality. Designated SuperCAMP (California...
Calibration of a Water Quality Model Using the Influence Coefficient Algorithm
A methodology based on the influence coefficient algorithm was established for the calibration of QUAL2E reaction coefficients. It was applied to the stream sections of the South Han River...

Third Party Impacts of Proposed Water Banking in the Colorado River Basin
Colorado River water is allocated to the seven Basin states based on a set of legal entitlements. Little flexibility is explicitly granted for addressing water shortages to particular...
Design Modification of Water Supply Intakes in Mountainous Regions
Existing river intakes for several water treatment plants in the mountainous areas of western Venezuela have experienced severe difficulties with deposition of sediment. Excessive sediment...
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....
Application of a Three-Dimensional Model to Assess Seawater Intrusion in the South San Diego Embayment
The San Diego Formation is a Pliocene through Quaternary age aquifer occupying the southwestern-most part of San Diego County. Though the formation is widespread, thicknesses of up to...
Strategies for Operation of Orange County Water District Talbert Seawater Intrusion Barrier, California
Heavy groundwater production in the area of coastal Orange County accounts for large seasonal fluctuations in water levels that can cause groundwater gradients to reverse seasonally. The...
