Modeling Turbidity in a Water Supply Reservoir: Advancements and Issues
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development and testing of a “turbidity” model is documented for a water supply reservoir, Schoharie Reservoir, NY, where inorganic terrigenous particles received during runoff events in turbid density currents from ...
Simulation of Operations and Water Quality Performance of Reservoir Multilevel Intake Configurations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A predictive framework is developed and applied to evaluate benefits of multilevel intake configurations in managing temperature
Size Distributions and Light Scattering Features of Minerogenic Particles in a Stream during Runoff Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Inorganic (minerogenic) particles received from streams during runoff events cause undesirable increases in turbidity (
Modeling Turbidity and the Effects of Alum Application for a Water Supply Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High loads of inorganic particles received following runoff events from terrigenous sources can cause elevated turbidity (
River Dissolved Oxygen Model with Zebra Mussel Oxygen Demand (ZOD)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development, calibration, and application of a dynamic two-dimensional mass balance model for dissolved oxygen (DO) for rivers are documented for the first time accommodating the oxygen demand associated with zebra ...
Probabilistic Model of Ammonia and Toxicity Status for Urban Lake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of a probabilistic modeling framework to conduct a priori simulations (forecasts) of the concentration of total ammonia (T-NH
Turbidity Model for Ashokan Reservoir, New York: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Terrigenous inorganic particles delivered during runoff events cause problems of high turbidity in many lakes and reservoirs. A turbidity model, composed of a two-dimensional hydrothermal/transport submodel and a turbidity ...
Determination of Reaeration Coefficients: Whole-Lake Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Onondaga Lake, N.Y., experiences a marked annual dissolved oxygen depletion over the entire water column at fall turnover. Depletion occurs as a result of the entrainment of reduced substances that have accumulated in the ...
Sed2K: Modeling Lake Sediment Diagenesis in a Management Context
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of a vertically-segmented, mechanistic mass balance model (Sed2K) for particulate organic matter (POM) diagenesis in lake sediments is described. The model is parsimonious in its requirements for input data ...
Testing and Application of a Transport Model for Runoff Event Inputs for a Water Supply Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective simulation of the fate and transport of runoff event inflows is an important goal of many water quality modeling initiatives. The set-up and testing of a two-dimensional hydrodynamic transport model is documented ...
