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)

Tampa Does It with Mirrors
As one of the nation's fastest growing cities, Tampa needed far more public works dollars. But the traditional source, the real estate tax, can no longer be relied on so heavily,...
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,...
Weather Modification Made Easy ? A Cookbook Recipe
This paper takes a cookbook approach to the development of a well organized and efficient cloud seeding endeavor, by discussing seven important items necessary for a successful 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...
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...
Coastal Structures '83
The objective of the conference Coastal Structures '83 was to develop in-depth discussion of the state-of-the-art and future needs concerning coastal structures. Design, construction,...
Holland's Fight Against the Sea
The Netherlands have always been threatened by the sea, its Delta Region most of all. After the catastrophic floods of 1953, the Delta Plan for the strengthening of coastal defenses and...

Progress Since 1979 in Canada
The report that follows describes the Canadian progress in urban hydrology research and in applications of research findings during the period from 1979 to 1983. The main topics include...
Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Finland
Due to a smaller scale of urban problems on Finland, active research work on urban hydrology began as late as in the mid-1970's. The major urban hydrology and related studies...
Failure of the Breakwater at Port Sines, Portugal
The objectives of the Port Sines Investigation Panel were to collect perishable data on and to identify causes of the failure on February 26, 1978, of the rubble mound breakwater at Port...
