Abstract: The compartmental modeling approach has been widely used for simulating contaminant transport in porous media and surface waters. Yet a commonly used compartmental model that has only first-order accuracy may introduce ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation of artificial recharge in multilayered, anisotropic, unconfined porous media is performed for radial flow configuration. The numerical studies, carried out with a saturated‐unsaturated flow model, ...

Abstract: Mathematical models are formulated to develop management guidelines for an integrated wastewater reuse plan involving the use of reclaimed wastewater to irrigate summer crops. A linear‐programming allocation model is used ...

Abstract: The operation of reservoirs often requires frequent updating of the results of the operation model. This is mainly because of errors involved in forecasting the natural inflows to the reservoirs or demands for water and ...

Abstract: An efficient algorithm for the real‐time monthly operation of a multipurpose reservoir is presented. The model is a combination of linear programming (used for month‐by‐month optimization) and dynamic programming (used for ...

Abstract: The spillway design flood is a function of social, moral, economic, and technological restrictions. Given the significant initial cost of a spillway and the very high cost of dam failure and downstream damages, the economic ...

Abstract: A nonlinear functional rainfall‐runoff model is applied to an urban watershed (Curotte‐Papineau, Montréal) and the results are compared with those from the ILLUDAS model. Simulations are performed using a 5 minute time ...

Abstract: A statistical method for deriving frequency distribution functions of minima of streamflows is presented. An innovative feature of the proposed methodology is that it does not require the specification of a parent distribution ...

Abstract: A chance‐constrained optimization model for a stream‐aquifer system is developed using an approximate solution for the transient drawdown of the water table of an aquifer by a well operating near a river. The model explicitly ...

Abstract: The determination of the design capacity and operation policy of water delivery systems for farming areas is complicated by the temporal variability of demands and the corresponding use of delivery capacity, the probabilistic ...
