Salt Lake City Flood Experiences
Salt Lake City experienced snowmelt floods during 1983 and 1984. Peaks during these years were very high with many historic records being set in both years. Different and unique problems...
Attitudes of Decision Makers in the Great Lake States Regarding Large-Scale Diversions
The issue of diversion has motivated leaders in the Great Lake states to hold conferences, sign resolutions, and create a task force to discuss the ways in which the region can prohibit...
Town Lake: An Environmental Impact Assessment
The City of Dallas, Texas, had little experience with environmental impact assessments of major capital improvements projects. Yet when deciding whether to build a 110,000,000 urban lake,...
Numerical Modeling of Groundwater-Lake Systems
Groundwater inflows can have important effects on the chemistry and biology of a lake ecosystem. For example, studies of lakes in Northern Wisconsin documented localization of ferromanganese...

Cost-Effective Design for Urban Lakes Dredging
The design of a dredging project for an urban lake is usually more complex than for lakes in rural areas. Three areas are special problems particular to the urban lake: chemical quality...
Confined Disposal in the Canadian Great Lakes
The dredging activities of Public Works Canada, Ontario Region, extend over most of the Canadian Great Lakes thereby significantly impacting on its environment. The paper presents a brief...
Dredging Guidelines for the Great Lakes
The International Working Group on the Abatement and Control of Pollution from Dredging Activities was established in November 1972 in compliance with the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement....
A Comparison of Seven Lake Dredging Projects
Over the past decade, dredging has been increasingly recognized as one method for restoring some of the country's numerous eutrophic lakes. While certainly not appropriate...
Mixed Layer Modelling of Stratification in Lakes
Mathematical models for vertical heat transfer processes in lakes and reservoirs are grouped into two classes: diffusion models and mixed layer models. In recent years much of the progress...
Incipient Resuspension of Silt-Clay Sediment
The laboratory study of incipient motion of fine-grained cohesive sediment under oscillatory flow, unidirectional flow and the combined effects of oscillatory and unidirectional flow is...
Modeling Effects of Toxicants on Aquatic Systems
Potential effects of chemicals on biomass production in aquatic systems are extrapolated from laboratory toxicological assays. The extrapolation requires that the effect of acute toxicity...
Stochastic Analysis and Modeling Levels of a Land-Locked Lake for Resource Development
Lakes are valuable natural resources that can be tapped for recreational, agricultural and other extensive lake side developments. Natural variability of lake levels is an important factor...
