Design of Settling Basins in Irrigation Network Using Simulation and Mathematical Programming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)One of the problems in irrigation structures is sedimentation control in the inlet to the irrigation networks. Water quality for agriculture requires that the sediments be controlled at their entrance point to the networks. ... -
Water Distribution in Laterals and Units of Subsurface Drip Irrigation. II: Field Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The performance of drip irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) laterals has been compared. Two emitter models (one compensating and the other noncompensating) were assessed. Field tests were carried out with a ... -
Generalized Analytical Solutions for Groundwater Head in Inclined Aquifers in the Presence of Subsurface Drains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Analytical solutions for groundwater head in the presence of subsurface drains are important in assessing the effectiveness of an existing drainage system under a probable extreme variation in the rate of recharge and ... -
Discharge Formulas for Subsurface Drainage of Retention Pond
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Excessive runoff and its undesirable effects (erosion, siltation, and suspended load), as well as water quality degradation in agricultural landscapes, are recurrent concerns in France. Special sediment control or pollution ... -
Generalization of ETo ANN Models through Data Supplanting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper describes the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for estimating reference evapotranspiration -
Sensor-Based Automation of Irrigation on Bermudagrass during Dry Weather Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Overirrigation of lawns with limited resources of potable water has increasingly become an issue for the state of Florida. A previous study showed that soil moisture sensors systems (SMSs) could lead to irrigation water ... -
Performance of a Combined Natural Wastewater Treatment System in West Texas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A study of performance of a combined natural wastewater treatment system was conducted in an arid and semiarid area of West Texas from October 2005 to September 2007. This study investigated the organic matter and nitrogen ... -
Discussion of “Forecasting Weekly Evapotranspiration with ARIMA and Artificial Neural Network Models” by G. Landeras, A. Ortiz-Barredo, and J. J. López

Pinning Force during Closure Process at Blocked Pipe Entrance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The high design standards for the preservation of the urban water environment result in more detention basins in residential areas. The steep channel and outfall pipe from a detention basin can be hazardous to children and ... -
Interbasin Water Transfer: Economic Water Quality-Based Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The interbasin water transfer project is an alternative to balance the nonuniform temporal and spatial distribution of water resources and water demands, especially in arid and semi arid regions. A water transfer project ... -
Comparison of Different Irrigation Methods Based on the Parametric Evaluation Approach in Abbas Plain: Iran
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The main objective of this research is to compare different irrigation methods based upon a parametric evaluation system in an area of 29,300 ha in the Abbas plain located in the Elam Province, in the west of Iran. The ... -
Simulation of Radial Collector Well in Shallow Alluvial Riverbed Aquifer Using Analytic Element Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)To withdraw large quantities of groundwater from the alluvial aquifers for various uses near riverbeds, radial collector (RC) wells are often preferable to the installation of several small diameter tube wells. In regions ... -
Long-Term Operation of Irrigation Dams Considering Variable Demands: Case Study of Zayandeh-rud Reservoir, Iran
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Dependency of water demands on the climate variation occurs especially in regions where agricultural demand has a significant share of the total water demands. The variability between demands that are based on annual climate ... -
Remarks on Camp’s Criterion for Self-Cleansing Storm Sewers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This study brings to the attention the difficulty imposed by the design on the development of a self cleansing storm sewer based on a general rule of minimum water velocity of 0.75 m/s under pipe full capacity and suggests ... -
Simple Method for Quick Estimation of Leaky-Aquifer Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Simple method and explicit equations are proposed for estimating the parameters of leaky aquifers from drawdown at an observation well, which avoid the curve matching or initial estimate of the parameter. The proposed ...
