Impacts of Future Climate Conditions and Forecasted Population Growth on Water Supply Systems in the Puget Sound Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is evidence that long-term climate change has altered streamflow patterns in the Puget Sound region, particularly during spring and summer months, and forecasts suggests these changes will continue. This research ...
Comparison and Assessment of Zero-Rise Floodplain Ordinances
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compares and evaluates the implications of some zero-risk regulations, particularly zero-rise floodplain ordinances. An ordinance for King County, Wash., is used to illustrate the challenges of implementing such ...
Reservoir Management Optimization for Basin-Wide Ecological Restoration in the Connecticut River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evidence from ecological studies suggests that the alteration of river flows downstream of reservoirs can threaten native aquatic ecosystems and the services they offer. Innovative revisions to water management practices ...
Potential Impacts of Changes in Climate on Turbidity in New York City’s Ashokan Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper applies an approach for determining water resources vulnerability caused by climate change to the New York City water supply system (NYCWSS). The results provide potential responses of the system to changes in ...
