Toxicant‐Loading Concept for Organic Contaminants in Lakes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The analysis focuses on a steady‐state budget model. To simplify the analysis, the mechanisms of decay and diffusive sediment feedback are ignored. These omissions result in a lower‐bound representation of the net loss ...

Rapid Calculation of Oxygen in Streams: Approximate Delta Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The “approximate delta method” is a simple procedure for simultaneous calculation of the stream reaeration coefficient, primary production rate, and respiration rate from a single-station stream diurnal profile of dissolved ...
Delta Method For Estimating Primary Production, Respiration, And Reaeration In Streams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple approach, the delta method, is derived to estimate stream reaeration, primary production, and respiration rates on the basis of diurnal dissolved oxygen measurements. The method uses three features of the diurnal ...
Modeling Impact of Storage Zones on Stream Dissolved Oxygen
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Streeter-Phelps dissolved oxygen model is modified to incorporate storage zones. A dimensionless number reflecting enhanced decomposition caused by the increased residence time of the biochemical oxygen demand in the ...
Modeling Zebra Mussel Impacts on Water Quality of Seneca River, New York
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The concentrations of dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll have declined in the Seneca River, New York since 1991 as a result of zebra mussel respiration and filtering. Recently measured data were used to approximate flux rates ...
Transient Storage and Gas Transfer in Lowland Stream
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conservative and gaseous tracers are used in conjunction with several models to characterize transport and gas transfer for a small, sluggish lowland stream, the Piako River, in New Zealand. Results obtained with the ...
Evaluating Hydraulic Habitat Suitability of Filamentous Algae Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The hydraulic habitat preference of the nuisance benthic alga Cladophora glomerata was investigated in a shallow river using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Three separate ...
Temperature Model for Highly Transient Shallow Streams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development and application of a one-dimensional heat transport model in highly transient streams governed by unsteady flow is described here. The resultant framework consists of two modules called the hydrodynamic and ...
