Modeling and managing water systems is a notoriously difficult task, one made simpler by PRSYM, a new object-oriented software package created by a consortium of public utilities, government...
Robustness of Reservoir Storage Reallocation Decisions to Climate Change
An Evaluation of Drainage Conditions in the San Joaquin Valley
The discovery of deformities and deaths of aquatic birds at Kesterson Reservoir in 1983 substantially altered the perception of agricultural subsurface drainage water threats in the San...
Impact of Sedimentation Caused by Runoff
As water is pumped into a reservoir, sedimentation caused by runoff can be an important factor in the reservoir's storage capacity. This report discusses various studies conducted...
Drought in California: When Does It Begin and When Does it End?
California recently endured a six-year period of drought. While the public, media and control agencies like simple definitions to classify water conditions, in a state as large and varied...
Preliminary Studies of a Karst Warm Spring in Mt. Kr?uterin, Austria
A warm spring occurs at the west foot of Mt. Kruterin, characterized by relatively higher temperature (17.4?C) and sulfate concentration (162 mg/L) against with the regional background...
Plans for Testing and Evaluating the New Autoventing Turbines at TVA's Norris Hydro Project
As part of TVA's Hydro Modernization Program, the two 59-year old Francis turbines at Norris Dam have been upgraded with new units. In conjunction with TVA's...
The Importance of Water Depth for Sparger Performance
As part of TVA Hydro Modernization Program, the two 59-year old Francis turbines at Norris Dam have been upgraded with new units. In conjunction with TVA's Reservoir Releases...
Aeration of Reservoirs and Releases TVA Porous Hose Line Diffuser
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has developed an efficient and economical aeration diffuser design that has been installed and operated successfully at five TVA hydropower projects,...
Picacho Reservoir Enhancement Study for Water Recharge, Reparian Enhancement, and Water-Based Recreation Purposes
This study was conducted for the Pinal County Department of Civil Works in Florence, Arizona. It investigated the feasibility of a major enhancement and expansion of Picacho Reservoir,...
Survival of Coliform Microorganisms in Sediments from a Treated Water Reservoir
Experiments were performed seeking the source of coliform contamination in a treated drinking water reservoir operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. In recent years...
Reservoir Sediment Management Practices of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (Department), which includes the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, owns and operates 15 major flood control dams. Most of these...
Debris Basin Design Procedures
Debris basins are widely used in the southwestern areas of the United States, with the majority of the structures located in the Southern California area. More and more development is...
Watershed Characteristics and Hydrological Parameters vs. Sediment Yield?Northern Regions of Pakistan
In order to manage, restore, or effectively maintain a watershed it is necessary to know what is really going on inside that watershed, which includes the effects of watershed and hydrological...
Design of the Inlet/Outlet Tower for the Eastside Reservoir Project
The Eastside Reservoir is currently being constructed near Hemet, California, by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. When completed in 1999, water will enter and be...
Using Probabilistic Balancing Rules in the Development of Multi-Purpose Multi-Reservoir Systems Operation Models
This paper focuses on the development of short-term (real-time) reservoir operation strategies by the incorporation of Probabilistic Balancing Rules (PBR). Probabilistic Balancing Rule...
Optimization and Simulation in Design and Operation of Reservoirs
Due to stochastic nature of rivers, their volumetric yields are random variables. Spatial and temporal redistribution of Water makes the reservoir construction a must. Therefore, water...
Optimum Storage Reallocation and Gate Operation in Multipurpose Reservoirs
This research is intended to integrate long term operation rules and real time operation policy for conservation and flood control in a reservoir, the familiar yield model has been modified...
