Abstract: Soil vapor extraction is a cost-effective technique for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) immobilized in the unsaturated zone. The design of a soil vapor extraction system (SVES) requires that the number and ...

Abstract: In a multisource, multiquality regional water distribution system, water agencies often find that it is necessary to impose blending requirements at certain control points in the system in order to secure the desired water ...

Abstract: In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the development of fast network flow algorithms aiming at solving linear programming problems with network substructures. Recognizing the fact that the basic structure ...

Abstract: Using a generalized network formulation, the nonlinear evaporation loss function of a reservoir is directly incorporated in a water-supply-optimization model. The nonlinear function is first piecewise-linearized and the ...

Abstract: A methodology is developed for the design of an automatic gate controller for an on-demand canal system. The design is based on the EL-FLO plus RESET control concept developed previously by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. ...
