Engineering-Science is providing consulting engineering services for the design of a sewer system and wastewater reclamation plant for the urban portion of Malibu, California. This project...
Optimal Irrigation Planning for Drought Management in Lower Colorado River Basin
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) of Texas recently completed a Drought Management Plan (DMP) for the water supplies under its control. In developing that plan, the LCRA evaluated...
Flows of Hazardous Materials Through States by Rail
This paper presents information on the tonnages of hazardous materials passing through each of the contiguous 48 states (and the District of Columbia) by rail. The quantities are estimated...
Development of Long Beach Downtown Marina
This paper describes the planning and construction of the new Alamitos Bay Marina just offshore of Long Beach's downtown shoreline. From an engineering standpoint the construction...
The Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program ? A Model
Details of the Dean John A Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program are discussed in this paper. Eligibility, application process, and selection criteria are included....
Public Access Evolution Long Beach, California, Coastline
Historic Long Beach was built around the beachfront. Public access to this popular coastal resort was provided in many ways. The downtown has undergone a renaissance of that former regional...
Integrated Management of Sugarcane Mill Wastewater for Bioenergy Production and Drip Irrigation
Based on the previous work of wastewater characterization and relevant literature review, a combined anaerobic (UASB) and aerobic (EAFB) treatment of supernatant of settled sugarcane mill...
Salinity Problems Associated with Reuse Water Irrigation on Southwestern Golf Courses
One of the most severe of the potential reuse water quality problems is salinity. While many water supplies in the southwest have relatively high total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations,...
Automated Lysimeter for Irrigation and Drainage Control
Knowledge of crop evapotranspiration (ETc), the combined process of evaporation and plant transpiration, is important in agriculture for scheduling...
Lysimeter Studies in Irrigated Soils of South Eastern Australia
The Riverine Plain of south eastern Australia is an extensive, predominantly clay soil area with large surface irrigation schemes. Early lysimeter installations were used to estimate evaporative...
Lysimeter-based Water Balance Study in Japan
Research on the water balance of agricultural land has been conducted using lysimeters for various objectives in Japan since the 1950s. In this paper, research for two major objectives...
Water Table Lysimeter Data Interpretation
Lysimeters were used to estimate seasonal water use of wet meadows and phreatophytes in northern Utah, southeast Idaho and southwest Wyoming (1983-1990). Twelve water table lysimeters...
Percolation Lysimeters for Water Quality Sampling
A field method to measure, year-around, the quantity and quality of leachate under irrigated crops has been developed. A specific objective was to evaluate percolation lysimeters as tools...
High Saline Water-Table Effect on Wheat Irrigation
Hydraulic, weighing lysimeters were used for five years to measure the effect of high, saline water tables on irrigation requirement of wheat. Each year the wheat was grown with no water...
Temporal Ion Balance Variation of an Irrigated Soil
The research was carried out in Southern Italy, from 1983 to 1988, using two gravity lysimeters irrigated with non saline water. The objective of this study was to test wether long-term...
Installation and Operation of Large Drainage Lysimeters on Grapes
Six large (3.05 m ? 3.66 m ? 1.83 m) drainage lysimeters were installed in 1984 in the middle of a 1.2 ha trickle irrigated experimental vineyard. Each was planted to two V. vinifera grapevines....
Use of Lysimetric Measurements for Designing Major Irrigation Systems in the USSR
The bioclimatic method for calculation of crop water requirements has been widely used in the USSR in recent years. The author has analyzed the results of its application for designing...
Lysimetric Monitoring for Operation of Irrigation Systems in the USSR
The author suggests a new method for operational control of irrigation regimes which is based on monitoring of a number of critical parameters related to the yield potentials of crops....
Infiltration of Unconsumed Irrigation Water in Utah
The ground-water hydrology of Panguitch Valley and adjacent areas, south-central Utah, was studied during 1988-90. One objective of the study was to measure ground-water recharge from...
Water and Salt Movement Under Trickle Irrigation
Experiments have been conducted to study the effect of the drip irrigation parameters on the movement of water and salt in the trickle wetted soil volume. The study indicated that for...
