Assessing Salinity Dynamics of Saline Wetlands in Eastern Nebraska Using Continuous Data from Wireless Sensors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The salinity level is the most important characteristic of saline wetlands. Monitoring the salinity dynamics can provide timely and accurate information for saline wetland conservation decision-making. Conducting high-frequency ...
Model Development for Estimation of Sediment Removal Efficiency of Settling Basins Using Group Methods of Data Handling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Settling basins are generally used as sediment removal structures in which flow velocity is reduced, resulting in surplus settlement of sediment particles. The accuracy of the available empirical equations for sediment ...
Assessment of Groundwater Quality under Changing Climate in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Understanding the hydrochemical composition of water resources in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA, Dodoma, Tanzania) related to climate variability is essential for sustainable development. Thus, the current study ...
Modeling of Nitrate Transport in the Vadose Zone by Considering the Mobile–Immobile Approach Using a Sand Tank Experiment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Precise process-based modeling of nonequilibrium water flow and solute transport continues to pose a significant challenge in vadose zone hydrogeology. Nonequilibrium water flow and solute transport in the vadose zone bring ...
Evaluating the Status of Wetland Conservation Integration with Multitype State Action Plans in the 50 US States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The protection of wetlands plays a critical role in ecosystem health and human welfare. This research paper explores the role of major types of state action plans, including climate action plans (CAPs), hazard mitigation ...
Sediment Outflow under Simulated Rainfall Conditions with Varying Geotechnical Properties
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The vulnerability of soil toward erosion might be reduced by having a good vegetative cover over the soil surface, slope improvement, and improving soil properties so that it is not easily detached and transported. However, ...
Biosorption of Methylene Blue Dye from Textile-Industry Wastewater onto Sugarcane Bagasse: Response Surface Modeling, Isotherms, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research focuses on the viability of removing basic dye methylene blue (MB) from water solutions by the application of sugarcane bagasse (SCB), an economic natural biosorbent. Batch experiments were conducted based ...
Transient Water Flow and Nitrate Movement Simulation in Partially Saturated Zone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water flow through vadose zone is important for soil ecology and for groundwater development. A thorough knowledge of water flow and solute transport through unsaturated zone is also needed for sustainable irrigation ...
Potential Influencing Factors Related to Digitalization of Construction-Phase Information Management by Project Owners
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Public agencies or owners that are responsible for the construction and maintenance of built infrastructure or facilities are working toward the digitalization of the project administration and delivery process, especially ...
Case Study: Economic Analysis of Statewide Roadway 3D Mapping Using Mobile LiDAR
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been using survey-grade mobile Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to scan and create three-dimensional (3D) representations of its more than 12,880 km of ...
