Monthly Water Balance for Blue Nile River Basin in Ethiopia
The objective of this study was to present existing stream flow data for the Blue Nile River and tributaries within the Blue Nile River basin in Ethiopia and to use that data to provide...

Water Use Pattern of Residential and Commercial Customers
The availability of the Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) devices make it possible to read a large number of meters in a short period of time. Through the use of AMR, we monitored weekly water...

Low Flush Plumbing Fixtures and Wastewater Systems
The significance of low flush plumbing fixtures on the wastewater collection and treatment system serving a small community has been determined. Among the concerns studied were: functional...

Use of a Statistical Model to Forecast Future Wastewater Flows
Future wastewater flows are generally predicted based upon an assumed rate of population and industry growth within a treatment facility's area of influence. In a community with limited...

Seasonal Rates?The Pros and Cons: A Case Study
The Spring Valley Water Company, an investor owned water utility serving over 58,000 customers in Rockland County, New York, implemented a seasonal differential rate structure in 1980....

Optimal State Feedback Estimation in Groundwater: Application to Leaky Aquifers
The problem of groundwater flow in leaky aquifer is looked at from a stochastic point of view. Optimal estimation of hydraulic heads are achieved using Kalman filtering. The Kalman filtering...

Flow Investigation for Landfill Leachate
A two-dimensional unsteady-state moisture flow model has been developed in order to describe the leachate flow process in a landfill. The unsteady variation of leachate mound head has...

Continuous Simulation Modeling for Sewer Systems
The peaking-factor method of sanitary sewer design was developed to simplify the calculations in determining design flow rates. This method of analysis is conservative to the point that...

Managing Stormwater with a Microcontroller Operated System
Concepts of managing urban stormwater runoff with a microcontroller operated flow control system are presented. The microcontroller system allows flexible and precise flow control from...

A Raft System for Large River Hydraulic Measurements
Collection of hydraulic data in large rivers is a difficult, time consuming, and occasionally perilous task. High water velocities, considerable depths, and wide channels present obstacles...

The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...

Research of the Limit Function About Imperfection and the Approximately Calculating Method of the Internal Forces of Hyperbolic Cooling Tower
The authors use the finite elemental program, which made by themselves and makes use of finite element method with rotational shell, to calculate the deformation in hyperbolic cooling...

Simulation of ATIS Strategies to Mitigate Special Event Congestion
This research extends the performance and application of DYNASMART, a dynamic traffic simulation model which incorporates the three elements necessary for modeling traffic flow under information:...

Cycletime Simulation of Shield-Tunneling Operation
Computer simulation...

Graphical Resource-Based Object-Oriented Simulation for Construction Process Planning
Simulation is a powerful tool for construction process design and optimization. The results of a simulation provide detailed process information, such as resource utilization and idleness,...

Simulation Architecture for Advanced Traffic Management Systems
Trends in Intelligent Highway-Vehicle Systems (IVHS), specifically Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) technologies are directed toward better integration between intersection controller...

Modeling the Traffic Flow Impacts of Rehabilitation Activity on Two-Lane Highways
Researchers at the Purdue University have been involved in developing techniques for predicting the operational impacts created by one-way traffic control. These techniques estimate average...

A Short-Term Demand Forecasting Model from Real-Time Traffic Data
Developing real-time traffic diversion strategies is a major issue of Advance Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), a component of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems(IVHS). Traffic diversions...

Marsh Submergence vs. Marsh Accretion: Interpreting Accretion Deficit Data in Coastal Louisiana
The apparent imbalance between relative sea-level rise and vertical marsh accretion is frequently cited as a major factor in the problem of wetland loss in Louisiana. Rates of relative...

Influence of River Mouth Migrations on the Caucasian Black Sea Coast Development
When studying modern coastal and river-issue processes and comparing last century and modern maps some regularities were revealed. River arms, which are upstream the longitudinal sediment...
