Abstract: An ensemble of analytical tools is used to identify capacity expansion alternatives for the Delaware River dredged‐material disposal system. Characteristics of the river and riparian area are stored and analyzed with a ...

Abstract: To identify efficient dredged‐material disposal management strategies for the Delaware River navigation system near Philadelphia, the system operation problem is formulated and solved as a generalized minimum cost network ...

Abstract: Reallocation of storage may increase a reservoir's capability to satisfy municipal and industrial water‐supply demands. The reallocation, however, simultaneously may decrease the reservoir's capability to satisfy competing ...

Abstract: An automated flood-warning decision-support system (FW-DSS) increases flood warning lead time for Sacramento County, California, and thus has the potential to save lives and reduce flood damage. The FW-DSS components measure ...

Abstract: A branch‐and‐bound enumeration procedure improves the search for an optimal floodplain‐management plan. The procedure considers all combinations of expert‐defined alternative measures. However, through bounding, it eliminates ...

Abstract: A personal computer (PC) based decision-support system (DSS) can provide real-time information for improved flood prevention and control in the Trinity River basin in Texas. The DSS components (1) retrieve, process, and ...

Abstract: A flood warning system yields direct and indirect, tangible and intangible benefits. To achieve this, the system includes hardware, software, plans and procedures, and personnel that work in an integrated manner to increase ...
