Meteorological Aspects of Hurricane Hugo
Despite recent improvements in the accuracy of hurricane forecasting at a rate of about one-half to one percent per-year over the past decade, the population growth in coastal mainland...
Scour Around Cylindrical Piles Due to Wave Motion in the Surf-Zone
The paper discusses the results of experimental tests to study scouring phenomena around cylindrical piles during a sea storm with reference to the modelling of a beach profile in the...
An Overview of Hurricane Damage to Military Facilities and the Storm Recovery Role Played by the Southern Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Hurricane Hugo struck a major blow to the military's shore facilities at Charleston, SC and Sumter, SC. The Air Force Base at Myrtle Beach, SC suffered only minor damage....
Colorado River Probable Maximum Floods
Upper limit design rainstorms (ULDRS) were developed for three locations in the Colorado River drainage above Hoover Dam. For each location, the rainfall magnitudes, spatial and temporal...
Probable Maximum Floods at the Yucca Mountain Exploratory Shafts
This paper presents an analysis of flood flows in the Coyote Wash at the proposed high level nuclear waste repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Estimates of the hydrographs at various...
Utilization of Stormwater Runoff to Recharge Underlying Aquifer
Based on the available data and its proximity to the Capital area, Wadi Al Khawd was selected as the site of the first aquifer recharge project in Oman. The project was designed by Stanley...
Site Specific Hydrological Model for Permaculture Application
This paper presents results of a study conducted on a small pond and watershed in Waterbury, Connecticut. The Soil Conservation Service method presented in Technical Release #55 (TR 55),...
Curvilinear Long Wave Hydrodynamic (CLHYD) for Tidal Circulation and Storm Surge Propagation
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the ability of a two-dimensional long wave hydrodynamic model to simulate long wave processes in curvilinear coordinates. The series of tests...

Asymptotic Determination of Curve Numbers from Rainfall—Runoff Data
Background, general instructions, and examples are given for determining Runoff Curve Numbers (CN) from small watershed event rainfall and direct runoff data sets. In order to preserve...
Evolution of Drainage Criteria, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Storm drainage in Albuquerque, NM is a central issue in land development. To expedite municipal development while assuring public safety and preserving environmental attributes in a public...
A Multi-Level Contour Method for Tracking and Forecasting Rain Fields of Severe Storms by Weather Radars
A new automated method is developed in order to track and predict in short-term (15 min-1 hr lead times) the evolution of rain fields in time and space, as observed by weather radars....
Simulating Spatially Varied Thunderstorm Rainfall
Using data from two independent, relatively dense networks of raingages located in the vicinity of Tucson, Arizona, the spatial distribution of thunderstorm rainfall was determined as...
The Sorry State of Flood Hydrology in the Arid Southwest
Flood hydrology for urban areas of the arid and semiarid Southwest is in a sorry state. It is based in large part on precomputer manual methods. The state-of-the-art should move into the...
Design Storms and Sizing of Flood Control Facilities
Design stroms which embody the rainfall characteristics of an area are used for the sizing of drainage facilities. The selection of a design strom may significantly influence the design...
