Nonlinear Seasonal and Long-Term Trends in a Twentieth-Century Meteorological Drought Index across the Continental United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyzing gradual trends in meteorological drought has become increasingly important as anthropogenic climate change and natural climate variability interact to complicate measurement of drought severity. Complex seasonality ...
Water Resources Adaptation to Climate and Demand Change in the Potomac River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of climate change are increasingly considered in conjunction with changes in water demand and reservoir sedimentation in forecasts of water supply vulnerability. Here, the relative effects of these factors are ...
Evolutionary Algorithm Optimization of a Multireservoir System with Long Lag Times
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A scenario of particular importance in water resources management occurs when reservoir release decisions must be made well in advance of accurate hydrologic forecasts because of long travel times between reservoir releases ...
Sorption of Naphthalene onto Natural and Surfactant-Amended Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Surfactant amendment has been proposed as a means to stabilize or mobilize groundwater contamination by modifying the soil’s natural sorption characteristics in situ. The importance of the native soil’s characteristics ...
Effects of Watershed Subdivision on Peak Discharge in Rainfall-Runoff Modeling in the WinTR-20 Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The rainfall-runoff model, WinTR-20, uses subdivision to simulate runoff behavior for complex watersheds exhibiting heterogeneous conditions or storage. It has been shown by others that subdivision generally causes the ...
