Potential Impacts of Global Warming on Groundwater in Eastern Massachusetts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The possible impacts of climate change induced by global warming on a highly permeable, unconfined aquifer located in the humid northeastern U.S. is analyzed for the years 2030 and 2100. The groundwater model MODFLOW is ...
Evaporation and Evapotranspiration under Climate Change in New England
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Methods to estimate and generate free‐surface evaporation
Minimizing Urban Floodplain Management Regrets under Deeply Uncertain Climate Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimization modeling can reveal promising multiperiod schedules for adapting to deeply uncertain changes in flooding. We contribute a parsimonious optimization model (mixed integer program) that adjusts the efficacy of ...
Indicators of Impacts of Global Climate Change on U.S. Water Resources
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Environmental and socioeconomic indicators are selected to study the impacts of global warming on the water resources of the United States. One of the indicators, regional reservoir storage vulnerability, is a particularly ...
Challenges in Graduate Education in Integrated Water Resources Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Integrated Optimization of a Dual Quality Water and Wastewater System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When addressing urban water problems, it is no longer adequate to consider issues of water supply, demand, disposal, and reuse independently. Innovative water management strategies and opportunities for water reuse can ...
Integrated Watershed Management Modeling: Generic Optimization Model Applied to the Ipswich River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A generic integrated watershed management optimization model was developed to efficiently screen a broad range of technical, economic, and policy management options within a watershed system framework and select the optimal ...
Optimal Location of Sediment-Trapping Best Management Practices for Nonpoint Source Load Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Selecting approaches to managing nonpoint source pollution is challenging due to the complex generation and transport processes that influence the quantity of pollutant that eventually reaches a receiving water. Pollutant ...
Classic Optimization Techniques Applied to Stormwater and Nonpoint Source Pollution Management at the Watershed Scale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear and dynamic programming formulations are introduced for optimizing the placement of distributed best management practices (BMPs) at the watershed scale. The results of linear programming optimization of infiltration-based ...
Performance-Based Evaluation of an Improved Robust Optimization Formulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Much progress has been made in the standardization of uncertainty analysis techniques for simulation modeling but less progress has been made in optimization modeling. Among the various techniques used for optimization ...
