Abstract: Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) estimates are important statistical summaries of precipitation records used for hydrologic engineering design. To make use of recent data and modern statistical methods, the IDF estimates ...

Abstract: A network flow optimization model is developed to study the operations of the Panama Canal system. The prescriptive model chooses monthly reservoir releases and storage levels that maximize the overall benefit of the system. ...

Abstract: An integrated hydrologic-economic-institutional water model was developed for the Rio Yaqui Basin, located in northwest Mexico, with the objective of assessing the impacts on agricultural economic benefits from strategies ...

Abstract: Effective storm water management plans depend on reliable rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relationships. Due to the perception of high-intensity rainfall events as occurring more frequently than expected, the ...

Abstract: For the Great Lakes region, radar-based precipitation estimates provide valuable data for over-lake areas and may help to improve mean areal precipitation estimates over land areas, particularly where precipitation gauges ...

Abstract: Flood risk assessment in many locations, especially in low-income countries, is severely hindered by a lack of hydrologic data. This study illustrates the application of regional rainfall frequency analysis, combined with ...

Abstract: Water resources planners and managers are continually faced with decisions to be made under uncertainty. In planning problems such as water supply, flood control, and ground-water remediation, the trade-offs among expected ...

Abstract: A screening model is developed to support the selection of alternatives for meeting future water demands and protecting sensitive ecosystems in the Edwards aquifer region of central Texas. Important attributes of the model ...

Abstract: A screening model called the South Florida Systems Analysis Model (SFSAM) was developed to support the Central and South Florida Project Comprehensive Review Study (Restudy). The objective of the Restudy, performed by the ...

Abstract: A dual discharge strategy has been proposed for management of the effluent from the Syracuse Metropolitan Treatment Plant (Metro). The approach involves routing the discharge to the Seneca River when assimilative capacity ...
