Reservoir System Reliability Constrained by Natural Salt Pollution
A generalized reservoir system simulation model, which incorporates salinity considerations, has been developed and is presently being applied to a system of 12 reservoirs in the Brazos...
Delaware Estuary Nonpoint Source Control Program
Preparation of the Delaware Estuary Management Plan, sponsored by the EPA and the three states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, is part of the national estuaries program. As part...
Statistical Analysis of Wastewater Flow Reduction
Changes in urban water use patterns can significantly impact wastewater flow characteristics. With the increased emphasis on water conservation programs, understanding these impacts is...
Reservoir Water Quality Modeling in Northern Portugal?Some Case Studies
In the last two decades environmental problems have become a major concern in Portugal as the effects of water pollution have gradually impaired the quality of water resources. Mathematical...
Use of Contaminant Mobility and Transport Parameters to Determine Water Testing Protocol
By 1994, EPA plans to regulate 83 contaminants in public water supplies. For rural communities and individuals who are not classified as public systems, the cost to monitor all 83 contaminants...
Statewide NPS Management Strategies
Statewide nonpoint source (NPS) management strategies are necessary because there are several different levels of authority involved, and the priority of action needs to be related to...
Optimal Aquifer Management for Controlling Land Subsidence
This paper discusses on-going research in optimal regional aquifer management that has a multiplicity of goals: water supply, subsidence control, and energy management. Current research...

Water Quality and Hydrologic Characteristics of a Wet Detention Pond
A small wet detention pond was instrumented to determine treatment efficiencies. Annual loads showed a reduction from the inflow to the outflow for ammonia as nitrogen (39%), organic nitrogen...
The Potential Fate of Particulate Contaminants from the Rehabilitated Ranger Uranium Mine
In the initial period after rehabilitation of the Ranger Uranium Mine most particulate matter released into Magela Creek will be wash load. 10% of the annual deposits on the backwater...
Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
This is the proceedings of the second ASCE specialty conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling devoted to the rapidly evolving field of marine environmental modeling. The primary focus...

Dual-System Cleanup
Engineers designing a ground water treatment system for a manufacturing plant in northern California, found that two systems are better�and cheaper�than one. Most of the ground water at...
Migration of Spilled Oil from Ruptured Underground Crude Oil Pipelines in the Memphis Area
This study evaluated the impact of an oil pipeline rupture in the recharge area of a West Tennessee aquifer. Two potential break locations were chosen in the alluvial valley of a main...

Predicting Fate and Effects of Hydrocarbons in the Oceans
Three major sources of hydrocarbons exist in the oceans. One is from oil spills related to the production and transportation of hydrocarbons. The second, while generally not spectacular,...
Designing for Control of Ice Conditions in Marinas
Each marina or small-craft harbor experiencing ice during the winter months must be designed for site specific conditions. These conditions are governed by environmental factors (geology,...
New Hydrologic Instrumentation in the U.S. Geological Survey
New water-level sensing and recording instrumentation is being used by the U.S. Geological Survey for monitoring water levels, stream velocities, and water-quality characteristics. Several...
