Using Computers to Competitive Advantage: Philosophy and Example
Assessing the Leaching Potential of Herbicides at the Ohio MSEA
The GLEAMS model was used to assess the potential for herbicide leaching at the Ohio MSEA. Input data, typical of the Ohio MSEA, was used in conjunction with precipitation data for the...
Calculation of Runoff from Rainfall Using NURP Data
Peak runoff flows and flood hydrographs are important elements in the design of drainage and flood-protection structures. The validity of methods for predicting peak flow from rainfall...
Development of a Water Conservation Program for the Spring Valley Water Company
The Spring Valley Water Company, an investor-owned water utility serving over 58,000 customers in Rockland County, New York, has developed a water conservation program that is sensitive...
Rainfall-Runoff Relations for the Puget Sound Area
Utilization of Weather Radar for Hydrologic Forecasting
New technologies to collect, analyze, store, retrieve and display hydrologic data offer significant improvements to conventional methodologies used for predicting hydrologic events. Computer...
Effect of Storm Distribution on Watershed Stormwater Management
This paper presents a case study illustrating the effect of the selection of rainfall distribution pattern upon the ability of a calibrated rainfall-runoff simulation model to replicate...
Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics of Rangitaiki and Whirinaki Watersheds
The Rangitaiki and Whirinaki watersheds in New Zealand have considerably higher storage and infiltration rates than others in New Zealand. The Rangitaiki watershed is flat compared to...
Verification of Clark County Hydrologic Modeling
The Clark County Regional Flood Control District, which includes the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area, has recently adopted hydrologic criteria which are intended to standardize the...
Reliability Assessment Method for Flood Forecasts
Peak discharge predictions produced by rainfall-runoff models and used by flood warning and preparedness agencies are subject to uncertainties in the input data, model parameters, and...
Conventional Storm Drainage Which Recharges the Groundwater
Since the demand for water is on the rise, more resourceful means of retaining and controlling the release of stormwater is needed. This retained stormwater may then be used for aesthetic...
Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities: Neglects in Practice
The Stormwater Management Facilities (SWMF) have become a required component of urban development projects in many parts of the country. In spite of differences in size, type, and physical...
Rainfall-Runoff Modeling in a Small Urban Watershed
Knights Branch watershed is located in Dallas, Texas, and it covers an area of about 5 mi2 (13 km2). Due to...
Identify the Marina User Market and Make the Customer a Part of the Planning Team: Designing and Managing for the User's Needs
A practical surveying method is described which allows a marketing firm to simultaneously - and quantitatively - analyze demographic market composition (for both upland and in-water uses)...
Knowledge Acquisition for an Expert System for Handling Customer Inquiries on Water Quality
Rack Storage Marinas in the 1990's
The rack storage marina industry has evolved from providing warehouses for boats under 25 feet, to being on the threshold of the hospitality industry with club-like facilities, serving...
Runoff Volume Frequency Estimation
An explicit formula is reported to express the volume of runoff resulting from a single rainfall event in terms of the catchment and rainfall characteristics. This formula is obtained...
Integrated Structural Engineering Solution for Design, Drafting and Analysis
Computervision Corporation is a leading CAD/CAM/CAE vendor that offers a complete integrated structural solution to customers. This structural solution allows customers to manage intricate...
Overall Resistance Parameter of Flow Arising in the Catchment-Area of a Reservoir in Steep Land
On a small reservoir catchment in mountains, the basin storage S(t) during a flood was expressed in terms of the basin discharge Q(t) and the time-varying storage parameters K(t) and P(t),...
A Method for Estimating Peak Flows from Small Agricultural Watersheds
An attempt was made to develop a method for estimating peak runoff from agricultural watersheds by analyzing precipitation and runoff data, and incorporating the results into a procedure...
