Tidal Flooding Study for a Seattle Watershed
The paper reports on a study to develop a correlation between rainfall volumes and tidal storm surges based on recorded rainfall and tide data. This correlation was used to establish tidal...
Control of Select Priority Pollutants in Stormwater
A simulation program to generate the runoff quantity and quality for each storm event over a 5 year period was written. Chemical loading rate data from highways was used. Runoff was considered...
On-Line Hydrologic Simulation of Lake Conroe Reservoir Releases for Downstream Flood Control
Texas A&M Watershed Model (TAMWM) is used to simulate the response of the Lake Conroe watershed following a storm event and to develop an operational policy for flood releases...
Time and Space Resolution for Continuous, Dynamic Storm and Runoff Model Studies
Continuous modelling correctly reproduces start-up values of storages and loss rates and statistics for properties of hydrographs. Kinematics of storms should be considered. The effects...
An Infiltration Based Runoff Model For Use With a Design Store
The feasibility of using an infiltration approach for routine runoff prediction has become a reality with the development of approximate infiltration models based on physical principles...
SCS User-Defined Storm Hydrograph (SCS-USH)
The Soil Conservation Service User-Defined Storm Hydrograph (SCS-USH) has been developed to provide engineers and regulatory officials with a simple microcomputer tool for defining design...
Hurricane Alicia
One Year Later
In the pre-dawn hours of August 28, 2983, Hurricane Alicia ripped its way ashore at the western tip of Galveston Island and moved northward to the Greater Houston area. This storm caused...
Hurricane Evacuation Studies, an Overview of Major Analyses
The purpose of this manuscript is to present the methods employed, the types of data generated and the interrelationships of the major analyses conducted for a hurricane evacuation study....
Analyzing Combined Sewer Overflow Events
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency/Illinois Pollution Control Board (ILEPA/IPCB) direct that combined sewer system overflows (CSO) be given sufficient treatment including 'first...
Hurricane Diana: Impact on Coastal Development
Hurricane Diana affected the coast of North Carolina during the period of September 11-14, 1984. Builders, designers, building officials and insurance adjusters responded to a written...
A German Multi Purpose Offshore Diking Project and its Effects on the Morphology and Ecology of the Adjacent Tidal Flats
Since the catastrophic storm surge of 1634, the southern part of the north Frisian coast (West Germany) is in a state of non-equilibrium. Permanent erosion takes place in this area, with...
Coastal Engineering Abstracts 1984
Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Coastal Engineering held in Houston, Texas, September 3-7, 1984. Sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Institute...
Surge Flow Applied to Overload Flow Treatment Systems
An Infiltration Model for Surge Furrow Irrigation
Weather Modification Potential — Santa Clara Valley
Santa Clara County of California has been a water deficient area. The Santa Clara Valley Water District has an obligation to the community and to the other water users in the State to...
Santa Clara Valley Weather Modification Program
This report describes a significant advancement in the Santa Clara Valley Water District's knowledge and understanding of its weather modification (cloudseeding) program,...
Sediment Recycling for Beach Nourishment, Sandy Hook, N.J.
Maintenance dredging of Ambrose and Sandy Hook Navigation Channels provided acceptable sand for nourishment of the critical zone at Sandy Hook, Gateway National Recreation Area, to protect...
Sediment Resuspension Due to Dredging and Storms: An Analogous Pair
The physics of resuspension is represented by the response of the sediment to an applied stress, either dredging operations or storm winds. In either case, once the sediments are mixed...
Analysis of Partially Filled Circular Storm Sewers
The classic design approach uses Manning's formula. Comparisons between analytical results obtained in this manner and the many available experimental results indicate substantial...
Water Supply Supplemented by Airport Storm Runoff
The quality of natural and induced storm water runoff from Oahu's Honolulu International Airport (HIA) and four outer island airports in Hawaii was evaluated for water supply...
