RISMethods for Distinguishing between Single and Multiple Discharger Situations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Designing programs to control pollutant discharges into streams is easier if the areas of water quality degradation from adjacent discharges do not overlap, so that each discharge may be treated as a single entity. ...
Evaluation of Programs for Regulating Withdrawal of Surface Water under the Riparian Legal System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The frequency of water conflicts in riparian areas has increased in recent years, forcing water agencies to consider regulating water withdrawals from streams. In this paper, we evaluate permitting programs that would be ...
No River Left Behind: A Call for Regulation in a Deregulating and Misregulating Era
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Mechanism for Fair Allocation of Surface Water under the Riparian Doctrine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The common-law Riparian Doctrine, the legal basis for water allocation in the eastern United States, restricts qualified users along a shared waterway to reasonable withdrawals. Recent water shortages and droughts have ...
Role of Effluent Permit Trading in Total Maximum Daily Load Programs: Overview and Uncertainty and Reliability Implications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many jurisdictions in the United States are currently preparing total maximum daily load (TMDL) programs for stream segments that come under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Among the options being considered by many ...
Economic Aspects of Groundwater Withdrawal Permit Transfers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The economic properties of three different permitting options for regulating ground‐water withdrawals are estimated by computer simulation of the economic return for irrigation of corn. The three regulatory options consist ...
Effects of Discharge Permit Trading on Water Quality Reliability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transferable discharge permit (TDP) programs show potential as cost-effective methods of pollution control. Nevertheless, there remain uncertainties that, if not adequately addressed, might impair their success. Concerns ...
Evaluation of Neural Networks for Modeling Nitrate Concentrations in Rivers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are applied to estimating nitrate concentrations in a typical Midwestern river, i.e., the Upper Sangamon River in Illinois. Throughout the Midwestern United States, nitrate in raw water ...
Simulation and Optimization of a Constructed Wetland for Biomass Production and Nitrate Removal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nutrient-intensive agriculture involving nitrogen application rates exceeding crop requirements results in excessive loads in surface waters, contributing substantially to hypoxia in coastal ecosystems and violations of ...
Hydrologic and Economic Implications of Climate Change for Typical River Basins of the Agricultural Midwestern United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Midwest is the largest agricultural area of the United States. Historically, the climate there has been suitable for unirrigated farming. However, the specter of climate change has created concerns about the future of ...
