Aldicarb Transport in the Coastal Plain of N. C.
The pesticide aldicarb is extremely soluble in water which causes it to be mobile in ground water. A field study was conducted to monitor the fate of the pesticide aldicarb in a poorly...
Water Quantity and Quality for Irrigated Agriculture and Wetlands
A water balance for the Carson Division of the Newlands Project in Northwest Nevada was created to identify the potential recovery of irrigation drainage effluent from the shallow aquifer...
Management of Agricultural Drainage Pollution Considering Regional Cooperation
Increasing awareness of toxic substance discharge from agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley of California has resulted in discharge limits on individual constituents in agricultural drainage....
Introduction to Remote Sensing for Irrigation and Drainage
Remote sensing is a rapidly emerging technology that has many potential applications to irrigation, drainage and hydrologic engineering. This paper, the first of four, introduces the reader...
Applications of Remote Sensing to Drainage
This paper summarizes examples of current applications of remote sensing information to drainage. Topics covered include drainage basin parameters, drainage problem identification, salinity...
ET from Shallow Groundwater Maintained by Controlled-Drainage/Subirrigation System
Soil-water management by maintaining a shallow groundwater level (watertable) via a dual purpose subdrainage-subirrigation system, is becoming popular in humid regions of the United States...
Study of Groundwater Availability in Case of Drought
Groundwater drought events were derived by taking truncation levels through the time series of daily drawdown records from observation wells. Droughts of various truncation levels, namely,...
Critical Public Issues for Well Head Protection
New Jersey adopted in 1991 a Well Head Protection Program Plan to provide added safeguards to water supply wells. Through extensive public participation efforts the Department of Environmental...
Dry Creek Watershed Flood Control Plan: A Case Study
This paper describes the development of the Dry Creek Watershed Flood Control Plan. This study was conducted to quantify the extent of the existing and future (buildout) drainage problems...
Alternative Methods of Drainage Management in San Joaquin Valley, California
The subsurface drainage and drainage-related problems in the San Joaquin Valley cost millions of dollars to the State and local economy every year. A number of actions have been proposed...
Ongoing Monitoring Results Pilot Stormwater Disposal Facilities, Pierce County, Washington
The three stormwater disposal facilities evaluated appeared to increase in pollutant removal effectiveness after approximately 4 to 5 months of operation. This may be due to the deposition...
Dry Weather Field Screening as an Indicator for Urban Drainage System Rehabilitation
In November 1990, EPA published final rules governing National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Application Regulations for stormwater discharges. The rules affect...
Decision Analysis Model for Well Rehabilitation and Groundwater Development, Moses Lake, Washington
A decision analysis model has been developed for evaluating various well rehabilitation strategies and long-term groundwater development alternatives, as well as various investigation...
Efficient Sizing of Storm Water Treatment Ponds
An anticipated result of the NPDES storm water program will be the proliferation of regional storm water ponds that capture and treat urban land surface runoff, thereby improving the quality...
Overview of Permeable Bases
Drainable pavement systems consist of: permeable base, separator lyer, and edgegrain system. This paper focuses on permable bases. A permeable base must provide both permeability and stability....
Performance of Free Draining Base Course at Fort Campbell, Kentucky
In 1990 a free draining base course layer was constructed in the structural section of a pavement to be used as a military vehicle maintenance yard at Port Campbell, Kentucky. The Corps...
Measured and Simulated Response of a Small Semisubmersible Moored in Deep Water
Small semisubmersible platform concepts are proposed for electronic tracking ranges, single-well petroleum production, and oceanographic data collection. This paper summarizes a major...
Feasibility Study of Petroleum Development in the Ross Sea, Antarctica
This paper discusses the viability of Antarctic petroleum development and estimates when Antarctic oil production could become economically feasible. The analysis is based on a hypothetical...
Offshore Challenge
Standard design techniques weren't enough to create rigs for the Main Pass Mine, which, at 67 million long tons, is the largest offshore sulfur mine in U.S. history. The 18...
The Thermal Regime Surrounding a Longitudinal Edge Drain
Newton Airfield in Jackman, Maine, was constructed in 1986 to perform as a drained pavement system. The drainage design consisted of a permeable base course with a longitudinal edge drain...
