The Edwards Aquifer in the San Antonio Area
The Edwards Aquifer in the San Antonio area is a highly productive groundwater system consisting of the Edwards Plateau water table aquifer and the Edwards Balcones fault zone artesian...
Project Mixes Oil and Water
The Prudhoe Bay Seawater Treatment Plant was nominated for an OCEA award, for its potential to coax from Alaska's north slope 1 billion barrels of oil which otherwise would...
Alternative Approaches for Waterhammer Analysis and Pipeline Protection
This paper provides a brief review of typical waterhammer problems and their solutions for pumping systems. Alternative approaches to identify and resolve design problems are discussed....
Designing for Residual Flooding
Flood control projects should incorporate designs and responses for flooding of the protected areas due to exceedance, overtopping, or failure of the features. Design strategies for levees,...
A General Microcomputer Approach for Evaluating Ground-Water Responses
A general impulse response function for calculating responses for stream-aquifer interaction, pumping in leaky and nonleaky artesian aquifers, and two dimensional dispersion is presented....
Reliability Evaluation of Water Distribution System Components
Reliability engineering concepts are substantially developed and have been routinely and successfully applied to the evaluation of electrical and mechanical components. However, these...
Interactive Computer Aided Graphic Water Well Pumping Test Evaluation Software
A microcomputer software package was developed which allows the user to interactively evaluate pumping tests using semilog and log-log graphic methods for time-drawdown, step-drawdown,...
Using Microcomputers for Groundwater Flow Analysis
Micro-computers offer an effective and efficient method for rapid and comprehensive analyses of groundwater flow. There are now numerous codes which have been developed specifically for...
Economics of Hydrothermal Power Development
The overall performance of a hydrothermal power plant with pumped storage is more cost effective than its competitive counterparts such as oil and gas turbine-generators. The operation...
Portland's New Water Pumping and Hydropower Station
The City of Portland, Oregon, recently placed into service a 100 mgd pumping station as a major milestone in developing a backup and emergency groundwater supply. The facility is also...
A Low-Cost, Microcomputer-Based Field Data Acquisition System
This paper discusses the selection and development of a micro-computer-based data acquisition system used for collecting aquifer test data. Primary components of the data collection system...
Centrifugal Abrasion-Resistant Pumps in Intermediate Length Pipeline Systems
The success of long-distance slurry pipelines is in many cases dependent on careful preparation of the solids prior to transport. Positive displacement pumps are employed. However, for...
Series Finished Water Pumping Facilities
The paper discusses studies and design of series finished water pumping facilities for the Potomac River Water Treatment Facilities. Detailed hydraulic studies were conducted which concluded...
Littoral Environment Observation Program
This paper presents a method for determining the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical dispersivities of a thick aquifer for a free convection tracer test using only measurements from...
Production of Guideway Beams for the Vancouver ALRT
This paper describes the planning, layout and design of a large scale precast plant and innovations in production technology for the fabrication and delivery of 1040 tangent and curved,...
Automation of Booster Pump Stations
