RISA Hydroeconomic Simulation-Optimization Framework to Assess the Cooperative Game Theory in Coastal Groundwater Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, a cooperative game theory framework is proposed to investigate how the cooperation of groundwater consumers influences the reduction in environmental damages and benefit the stakeholders in coastal regions. ...
Shallowing of Seabed Bathymetry for Flood Preparedness: Designing Nearshore BMPs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The devastating impacts of frequent coastal storms, such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005 or Superstorm Sandy in New York City in 2012, in major low-lying metropolitan areas have had repercussions far beyond ...
Seasonal Streamflow Forecasting Using Snow Budget and El Niño-Southern Oscillation Climate Signals: Application to the Salt River Basin in Arizona
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a method for streamflow forecasting in arid and semiarid regions is presented. The proposed methodology consists of three steps. In the first step, hydrologic seasons are defined to capture coupled effects ...
Quantifying Resilience and Uncertainty in Coastal Flooding Events: Framework for Assessing Urban Vulnerability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Selecting Appropriate Project Delivery System: Fuzzy Approach with Risk Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The selection of an appropriate project delivery system that suits all project and owner needs is one of the key decisions to a successful project. Therefore, this decision should be made based on thorough analysis. In ...
Conceptual Design Framework for Coastal Flood Best Management Practices
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Over the past few decades, the development of municipal societies along flood-prone areas such as waterfronts and riverbanks has increased rapidly, causing flood-induced disasters more often than ever before. Flood defense ...
Drought Mitigation through Long-Term Operation of Reservoirs: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dealing with climate variability in a river basin presents many challenges in managing a water resources system. Occurrence of severe and persistent droughts deplete reservoirs storage to critical levels, which may lead ...
Reliability-Based Flood Management in Urban Watersheds Considering Climate Change Impacts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research has revealed the impacts of climate change on the hydrologic cycle. These impacts are intensified in the urban water system due to special characteristics of urban watersheds, such as a high percentage of impervious ...
Algorithm for Assessment of Water Distribution System’s Readiness: Planning for Disasters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water distribution systems are one of the most important infrastructures in urban areas. The objective of every urban water distribution system is to deliver enough water of acceptable quality with adequate pressure to ...
Uncertain Water Balance-Based Sustainability Index of Supply and Demand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In order to plan for future water resource development, estimating sustainable levels of water supply and demand is essential to ensure that available water can be used in a way that satisfies all sectors. Different indices ...
