Abstract: Water resources managers always are searching for cost-effective monitoring programs that provide maximum information for minimum cost. Monitoring of sediment discharges from streams and rivers is one of the expensive ...

Abstract: Nonpoint source pollution affects the quality of numerous watersheds in the Midwestern United States. The Illinois State Water Survey conducted this study to (1) assess the potential of artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...

Abstract: This case study paper presents results on the application of the HEC-6 model to the main stem of the Kankakee River in Illinois, a distance of about

Abstract: Applications of artificial neural networks in simulation and forecasting of hydrologic systems have a long record and generally promising results. Most of the earlier applications were based on the back-propagation (BP) ...

Abstract: The Illinois River is a tributary of the Mississippi River that connects Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. Starting in 1848 when the Illinois and Michigan Canal began to open, the Illinois River has experienced some ...

Abstract: An application of the Hydrologic Simulation Program–FORTRAN (HSPF) model was developed for the entire Illinois River basin. During the simulation period from 1985 to 1995, simulated monthly and annual flows correlated well ...

Abstract: Hydraulic structure failure such as the failure of the spillway of a dam may afford the opportunity to evaluate the impacts of this type of event on the formation and migration of a scour channel upstream of the spillway. ...
