Storm Flow from First-Flush Precipitation in Stormwater Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Regulations for mitigating nonpoint source pollution from urban areas often include a requirement for treatment of a first-flush depth of stormwater. When the stormwater treatment technology requires specification of a ...
Applications of Optimal Hydraulic Control to Ground‐Water Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground‐water simulation models are increasingly used for the analysis, design, and management of water‐resource problems including ground‐water supply and remediation. The solution to these problems involves some degree ...
Presence of Nonconvexity in Groundwater Concentration Response Functions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines the presence of nonconvexity and multiple extrema in the feasible region defined by the concentration response function. The response function is defined in the context of concentration constraints ...
Solving Unconfined Groundwater Flow Management Problems with Successive Linear Programming
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Groundwater management models are often applied to problems in which the aquifer state is a mildly nonlinear function of managed stresses. The use of the successive linear programming algorithm to solve such problems is ...
Conjunctive-Management Models for Sustained Yield of Stream-Aquifer Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conjunctive-management models that couple numerical simulation with linear optimization were developed to evaluate trade-offs between groundwater withdrawals and streamflow depletions for alluvial-valley stream-aquifer ...
Calibrated Models of Deicing Agent Solids, Pavement Texture, and Specific Conductivity of Highway Runoff
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field data and existing theory suggest that pavement texture governs the seasonal persistence of deicing agent solids and the storm scale variability of the specific conductivity of highway runoff. We measured precipitation, ...
Three-Dimensional Modeling for Estimation of Hydraulic Retention Time in a Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model is used to estimate the hydraulic residence time for a portion of the Wachusett Reservoir in central Massachusetts. The basin under consideration has several major ...
