Southeastern Drought of 1988?A Federal Perspective
The drought that has plagued the Southeastern United States for most of the 1980's is continuing in two major river basins within the geographic boundaries of the South Atlantic...

Savannah River Basin Drought Contingency Planning
Beginning in 1986, and continuing through the present time, the worst drought in recent history created severe water shortage conditions over extensive areas of the southeastern United...

Behavior of Total Zinc in the Similkameen River
Multiple linear regression analysis was used to: develop equations that summarize the relationship between total zinc and a set of water quality characteristics measured in the Similkameen...

Flood Impact and Management of Levees in Tennessee
The construction of private levees is causing flooding and erosion problems along several tributary rivers in West Tennessee. The severity of these problems is recognized by the State...

Impact of Polders Upon Flood Stage of Atrai River
A mathematical model study, using System 11 model of the Danish Hydraulic Institute, is made to assess the impact of flood control polders upon flood level of Atrai River in Bangladesh....

Continued Development of the Columbia Basin Project?A Status Report
The Columbia Basin Project is located in central Washington State and encompasses approximately 1 million irrigable acres. Water from the project delivery system was first applied in 1952...

Proper Use of Effective Flow Boundaries
The determination of the appropriate effective flow boundaries is an important factor in the hydraulic modeling of the flow regime of a stream. It is especially critical in areas with...

Water Allocation in the Bay/Delta (California)
The California Water Resources Control Board is conducting hearings, over the period July, 1987 to 1991, to review beneficial uses of the water tributary to, within, and exported from...

Estimating Impacts of Irrigation on Streamflow
This paper presents a method for estimating the impact of irrigation withdrawals on streamflows and shows the application of that method to the Kankakee River Basin of Illinois and Indiana....

Instream Flow Requirements for Riparian Vegetation
Increasing frequency of stream diversion is requiring establishment of methods to determine instream flow requirements for riparian resources. Most methods are oriented toward fisheries....

Interstate Water Management: Implications of Recent Virgina/North Carolina Conflicts
Attempts to expand the public water supply of the urbanized southeastern corner of Virginia by transferring water from an interstate river flowing from Virginia into North Carolina has...

Must the Courts Resolve All Our Conflicts?
In June 1981, the Maryland Office of Environmental Programs issued a draft 'nutrient control strategy' for the Patuxent River as a first step in preparing a regional...

Development and Application of Hydrologic Forecast Systems
Hydrologic forecast systems generally consist of several components which include computer hardware and software to perform data handling functions and enable users to calibrate hydrologic...

Development, Calibration and Application of Runoff Forecasting Models for the Allegheny River Basin
The computer program HEC1F, developed by the Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center, performs runoff forecasting. The focus of this paper is on application of HEC1F...

Operational Forecasting in Complex River Basins with SSARR-Micro Versus Mainframe Computer
The Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation, (SSARR), model has been used for many years for river forecasting and reservoir system modeling in the Columbia River Basin. Operational...

Colorado River Microcomputer Model
This paper describes a computer model which simulates the monthly water and power operations of the twelve reservoirs in the Colorado River Basin for a given demand projection in the future....

Application of DDDP for Optimal Daily Operation of the Niagara Generating System
This paper describes the application of Discrete Differential Dynamic Programming (DDDP) to determine the optimal operation of Ontario Hydro's Niagara Generating System, on...

Short-Term Hydroelectric Scheduling Model for WAPA
An optimization model, data system, and a series of user-friendly input/output screens (the HYDRopower Optimization Program, HYDROP) have recently been implemented at the Loveland Area...

Utilization of the Ottawa River Regulation Modeling System (MORRO)
The MORRO model was developed in Canada for use by the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board (ORRPB) to integrate the operation of the Ottawa River during the spring freshet season, when...
