Real‐Time Sampling Strategies for Estimating Nutrient Loadings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation of water‐quality sampling strategies, applicable to real‐time sampling programs, is presented. The sampling strategies are designed to be a component of the data‐collection process for the determination ...
Cluster Analysis as Applied to Regional Flood Frequency
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A statistical technique for delineating groups of stations to be considered a region for regional flood frequency analysis is presented. The technique, which utilizes cluster analysis, allows the inclusion of a diversity ...
Modeling Coliform Bacteria Subject to Chlorination
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of chlorination on the decay characteristics of coliform bacteria were examined through the use of mathematical models. Four models were fit to data collected during periods for which the waste source was ...
Closure to “<i>Modeling Coliform Bacteria Subject to Chlorination</i>” by Donald H. Burn (June, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 3)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Water‐Quality Management Through Combined Simulation‐Optimization Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A modeling technique for water‐quality management that incorporates both simulation and optimization is presented. The proposed methodology should be of use in the allocation of waste load for a number of dischargers located ...
Copula-Based Pooled Frequency Analysis of Droughts in the Canadian Prairies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the frequency analysis of droughts using a copula with the application of regionalization in the context of a bivariate homogeneity analysis. Drought events indicated by severity and duration were extracted ...
Regional Flood Frequency with Hierarchical Region of Influence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Regional flood frequency analysis involves combining extreme-flow information from numerous stations to enhance the reliablity of the temporal characterization of extreme-flow data at sites with short periods of record. ...
River Flow Forecasting Model For Sturgeon River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A forecasting technique for predicting river flow resulting from combined snowmelt and rainfall is presented The technique incorporates Kalman filtering techniques to reflect Uncertainty in the measured data as well as ...
Regionalization of Catchments for Regional Flood Frequency Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An approach to catchment regionalization is presented, in which an agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm is used to define homogeneous regions that can be used for regional flood frequency analysis. Catchment ...
