Observation and Simulation of Surface Waves in Two Water Supply Reservoirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Observations and model predictions of progressive surface waves were made for Cannonsville and Schoharie Reservoirs, located in southeastern New York State. These reservoirs are deep with steep bottom slopes and relatively ...
Impact of Lake Acidification on Stratification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of documented acidification‐based increases in transparency, i.e., decreases in diffuse light attenuation,
Weather‐Based Variations in Thermal Stratification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-dimensional mixed-layer mathematical model of thermal stratification was used to evaluate the sensitivity of stratification conditions in a future reservoir to natural variations in attendant meteorological conditions. ...
River Dissolved Oxygen Model with Zebra Mussel Oxygen Demand (ZOD)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development, calibration, and application of a dynamic two-dimensional mass balance model for dissolved oxygen (DO) for rivers are documented for the first time accommodating the oxygen demand associated with zebra ...
Turbidity Model for Ashokan Reservoir, New York: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Terrigenous inorganic particles delivered during runoff events cause problems of high turbidity in many lakes and reservoirs. A turbidity model, composed of a two-dimensional hydrothermal/transport submodel and a turbidity ...
Validation of Water-Quality Model for Seneca River, N.Y.
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The validation of a water-quality model for the Seneca River, a deep, stratifying, slow-moving river located in central New York, is documented. Model validation is supported by comprehensive field monitoring and kinetic ...
Effects of Discharge of Spent Cooling Water from an Oligotrophic Lake to a Polluted Eutrophic Lake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water quality and related management issues for a proposed lake source cooling (LSC) facility discharge of water from oligotrophic Lake Ontario to polluted eutrophic Onondaga Lake, NY, are considered in the context of ...
Entrainment‐Based Flux of Phosphorus in Onondaga Lake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The upward transport of phosphorus from the upper stratified layers of hypereutrophic Onondaga Lake, mediated by entrainment events, was estimated for the spring-to-fall intervals of 1980 and 1981. The estimates were based ...
Erratum for “Modeling Resuspension in a Dynamic Water Supply Reservoir” by Emmet M. Owens, Rakesh K. Gelda, Steven W. Effler, P. J. Rusello, Edwin C. Cowen, and Donald C. Pierson
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Resuspension of Mercury-Contaminated Sediments from an In-Lake Industrial Waste Deposit
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The resuspension and transport of particulate mercury
