Abstract: A highway construction site was monitored to determine the effectiveness of a temporary sediment control (rock-filter dam) that was part of the pollution prevention plan that protected storm water from leaving the site. ...

Abstract: A technique for jointly configuring and scheduling a monitoring network for an aquifer tracer test is presented. A dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is used to select among competing designs for a test to provide data for ...

Abstract: An optimal experimental design algorithm is developed to facilitate the planning and the optimal configuration and scheduling of a ground‐water‐tracer test whose data are to be used to estimate model parameters. A maximal ...

Abstract: A numerical turbidity limit that will affect highway construction sites to meet a standard turbidity value in the runoff was to be implemented in 2013. Although the limit appears to be deferred to future permits, this study ...

Abstract: A database containing more than 17,700 discharge values and ancillary hydraulic properties was assembled from summaries of discharge measurement records for 424 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gauging stations (stream ...

Abstract: This note investigates using the waste soot generated in fullerene manufacture as an adsorbent. Both oven-dried and air-activated samples of waste soot are compared with three commercially available powdered activated ...

Abstract: Characterization of hydrologic processes of a watershed requires estimation of the specific time-response characteristics of the watershed. In the absence of observations these characteristics are estimated from watershed ...

Abstract: Time of concentration

Abstract: Data from over 1,600 storms at 91 stations in Texas are analyzed to evaluate an instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) model for rainfall-runoff models. The model is fit to observed data using two different merit functions: ...

Abstract: The runoff coefficient,
