Physics-Based Modeling of Lakes, Reservoirs, and Impoundments
This book provides an overview of considerations that apply to modeling flow and transport in lakes, reservoirs, and impoundments using equations based on conservation principles. Specific...
New Approaches to Rehabbing Old Dams
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation takes a look at several new ways of building old dams for maximum flooding. A labyrinth spillway was built at Ute Dam near Logan, N.M. to increase reservoir...
Environmental Auditing: Planning and Implementation
This paper presents a variety of practical concepts which firms may wish to consider during the process of designing an environmental auditing program, or while reviewing the adequacy...
Remedial Measures for a Creosote Impoundment Closure
In conformance with the 1984 amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part 264 requirements, Burlington Northern Railroad (BN) constructed a double high density...
Land Disposal Construction, Monitoring and Closure
The continuous generation of hundreds of thousands of gallons of hazardous wastewater and waste process solutions each year at an aerospace development and assembly plant at Lockheed Missiles...
Risk-Based Design of Inspection Programs for Detecting Leaky Underground Storage Tanks
A mathematical framework is developed for estimating the effectiveness of large-scale inspection programs for leaky underground storage tanks. The framework incorporates the leak likelihood...
Artificial Recharge for Managing the Great Salt Lake
During the past three years, precipitation amounts throughout the drainage basin have significantly exceeded normal values. The resulting record breaking inflow volumes and lower than...
Recovery of Freshwater Stored in Saline Aquifers in Peninsular Florida
Subsurface freshwater storage has been operationally tested at seven sites in central and south Florida. Injection was into a high chloride water aquifer at six sites, and into a high...
Conjunctive Use and Managed Groundwater Recharge: Engineering and Politics in Arid Lands
In regions with alluvial groundwater basins, increasing consumer demands for water, irregular surface water flows, and high evapotranspiration rates, managed recharge and long-term conjunctive...
Simple Removal and Recovery of Irrigation Drainage Salts
This paper reports on preliminary tests of an alternative for simple removal and recovery of irrigation drainage salt. Using a novel system for evaporating waters from capillary surfaces,...
Gully Incision Prediction on Reclaimed Slopes
An investigation was conducted to estimate the potential of gully intrusion into reclaimed waste impoundments. A series of eight reclaimed impoundments exhibiting gully intrusions were...
Stochastic Design of Wastewater Storage Ponds
The authors combine the principle of mass conservation with basic ideas from probability theory and then apply Monte Carlo simulation techniques to develop a family of design charts called...
A Proposed Desilting Reservoir System in Taiwan
The paper discusses the design of a desilting system for Nanhwa reservoir, in which the reservoir is divided into two bays; water flows into the forebay for sedimentation and then over...
Remote Sensing Applications in the Model of Runoff Formation in Excess of Storage
The model of runoff formation in excess of storage applied in some humid regions of China is revised in this paper, so that the model can adopt the information provided by Landsat remote...
Sedimentation Problems of the California Aqueduct
The California Aqueduct crosses the alluvial fans of many intermittent streams on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. At two sites where watershed sediment yields were underestimated,...
Selecting a Stormwater Service Level for Urban Control
Recently, more and more emphasis is being placed on the maintenance of pre- and post-development runoff peaks from a specified design storm. The limit on post-development flood peaks requires...
Dredged Spoil Storage Basin in the Coastal Waters Near Rotterdam
The maintenance dredging for the Rotterdam harbour area amounts to 23 million m**3 per year, 10 million m**3 of which is polluted to such an extent that a controlled storage is required....
Water Resources Systems Planning: Differential Dynamic Programming Models
A Monte Carlo optimization methodology is presented for water resources systems. The planning model define the optimal storage and release policies for the reservoir system. The optimization...
Oxygenation of Releases from Richard B. Russell Dam
The oxygen injection system at the Richard B. Russell project has a continuous injection system located 1 mile upstream of the Russell damsite but also has supplemental injection capability...
Verification of a Supply Reliability Model
Three versions of an analytical model for estimating the reliability of a water supply system including capacity components and small amounts of finished water storage are presented. Simplifying...
