Abstract: With construction of new large-scale water storage projects on the wane in the U.S. and other developed countries, attention must focus on improving the operational effectiveness and efficiency of existing reservoir systems ...

Abstract: The long-term sustainability of irrigated agriculture is contingent on application of cost-effective water conservation measures and improved management in the face of intense competition for limited freshwater resources ...

Abstract: The MODSIM river basin network flow model is extended to directly incorporate constraints on concentrations of conservative water quality constituents. The extended model MODSIMQ is linked with the U.S. Environmental ...

Abstract: A compendium of several important articles on the application of computerized decision support systems (DSS) in water resources management is presented. The articles cover software development, hardware selection, data ...

Abstract: The predictive canal operation method (PCOM) provides optimal real-time control of irrigation canals with incorporation of current and forecasted demands. PCOM utilizes an efficient, nonlinear, optimal control algorithm ...

Abstract: Many powerful optimal design models have been developed for municipal water-distribution networks, but few are in practical use since they are difficult for water engineers to understand and require an extensive data base ...

Abstract: Detention basins are the most popular structural measure for urban flood control and have proven effective for both water quantity and quality management. Integrated, watershed-level planning of the layout and sizing of ...

Abstract: Many river systems include natural and manmade backwater areas providing habitat for a diverse community of aquatic and aviary species, including several listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Concern ...
