Water Conservation at the Antarctic Wasa Base - Results 1989-90
The Swedish WASA base was erected in the Norwegian sector of Antarctica during the 1988-89 summer season. The base was on a nunatakk and consisted of a dwelling house with full living...
The PowerBarge
Following a brief description of the prefabricated floating PowerBarge concept, the range of application and expected cost and time savings is presented. Environmental benefits are described...
A GIS Approach to Urban Water System Planning
Procedures for projecting future water needs have ignored the spatial distribution of consumers. However, with a GIS approach to water demand forecasting and supply planning the spatial...
Estimating Power Plant Cooling Water Demand
The Fayette Power Project (FPP) includes three generation units, with more than 1,500 megawatts of generating capacity, supplying electricity to more than a million Central Texans. The...
Analysis of Water Banking Projects as Additions to the California State Water Project
The California State Department of Water Resources (DWR) is evaluating the feasibility of adding Water Banking programs to the State Water Project (SWP) to augment its delivery capability...
Automated Sensitivity Analysis for FORTRAN Models
For complex computer models used in engineering design and assessment, a cost-efficient procedure for identifying the parameters that are important to a given model prediction is a necessity....
When to Connect Your New Supply
The use of risk analysis is important to a water utility. The economic losses to the local economy as a result of water shortages can be astronomical. On the other hand, the high rates...
Water Supply Uncertainties with Federal Permitting
Providing water in a semiarid region has historically been one of the most important responsibilities of government. This task was made more difficult by the uncertainties involved with...
Integrating Water Conservation Into Water Supply Planning
Consideration of water demand reduction strategies is increasingly important in water resources planning. Although more research is needed to improve the reliability of water savings data,...
Effectiveness of Demand Management Strategies
Good quality water is a valuable resource that should be used wisely. It is necessary that water supply authorities develop water conservation plans. In order to develop a water conservation...
Water Demand Management: Perspectives of a Raw Water Provider
The Salt River Project (SRP) is a major power and raw water provider in the Phoenix metropolitan area. SRP provides raw water for municipal, industrial, urban irrigation, and agricultural...
Demand Management in New York City
The paper discusses the New York City municipal waater supply system and the various methods being utilized to reduce aggregate demand. Subjects covered include water consumption, metering,...
Guidelines for Water-Resource Planning under Cliamte Change
This study combines the use of several standard tools of hydrology (synthetic hydrology, flood risk analysis, reservoir simulation) with newer considerations of increased demand for water...
