Abstract: Floodways may offer efficient flood damage reduction along flat land rivers, especially if the real-time operation of the floodways is feasible. Given an observed or forecasted upstream flood hydrograph, an optimal control ...

Abstract: A decision support system based on a modified fuzzy‐composite programming method is developed to assist decision makers in solving multiple‐objective decision problems under uncertainty. The method is applied to a dredged ...

Abstract: In many areas throughout the United States, ground‐water supplies are contaminated by nitrates. Nitrate contamination has been a subject of concern because nitrate salts can induce infant methemoglobinemia and possibly ...

Abstract: A methodology is developed to estimate the human-health risk from ground-water contamination and evaluate possible regulatory actions. The methodology is illustrated considering the case of health risk from ground-water ...

Abstract: Geoelectric and well data are combined and used to delineate “best” well location areas. The best location is selected based on a compromise solution for two conflicting objectives: (1) maximum well yield (i.e., maximum ...
