Availability Mechanics: Logical Economics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Efforts to cure our recurring economic problems have resulted in trade‐offs among inflation, interest rates, and unemployment, and have not promoted economic growth. The failure of these efforts is due to failure to correctly ...
Discussion of “<i>Real‐Time Flood Management Model for Highland Lake System</i>” by Olcay Unver, Larry W. Mays, and Kevin Lansey (September, 1987)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Models and Realities of Reservoir Operation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Brass Model: Application to Savannah River System Reservoirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The BRASS (basin runoff and streamflow simulation) model was developed to improve the real‐time and predictive determination of flood discharges and stages, and to aid in flood management decisions within the Savannah River ...
Reallocation of Federal Multipurpose Reservoirs: Principles, Policy, and Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most federal reservoirs in operation throughout the United States serve multiple purposes, typically, flood control, hydropower, navigation, recreation, water quality, irrigation, and municipal water supply. In the decades ...
Rule-Based Storage Accounting for Multipurpose Reservoir Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The needs for conservation, efficient management, and accounting of water uses intensify as demands increase relative to supplies. Storage accounting, properly performed, can provide a framework to meet these needs and to ...
Brass Model: Practical Aspects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The BRASS (Basin Runoff and Streamflow Simulation) model was developed to provide flood management decision support for operation of Savannah River system projects. BRASS is an interactive hydrologic/hydraulic model which ...
Special Issue on Sustainability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effects of Global Warming on Hurricane‐Induced Flooding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Global simulation models used to predict climate change typically have resolutions too coarse for resolving small drainage basins, creating a major obstacle to evaluating the hydrologic impacts of climate variability. The ...
Unintended Consequences of Involving Stakeholders Too Late: Case Study in Multi-Objective Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines a case where a plan for aquifer management was constructed on the basis of a single criterion. Though the plan was constructed with stakeholder engagement, the criterion for planning success was predefined ...
