Influence of Subsurface Drainage on Soil Temperature in a Cold Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Soil temperature during springtime is an important factor for crop establishment and growth in poorly drained soils of northwest Minnesota. In this region, shallow water tables causing spring planting delays and excess ... -
Closure to “Flow Patterns and Energy Dissipation over Various Stepped Chutes” by Chaiyuth Chinnarasri and Somchai Wongwises
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008) -
Discussion of “Diagnostic Curve for Estimating Soil Dispersivity and Instantaneously Injected Mass” by Sushil K. Singh

Maximization of Water Storage in Backfilled and Lined Channels and Dimples Subject to Evaporation and Leakage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A channel or axisymmetric dimple filled with a coarse porous material and aimed at a temporary storage of infiltrated water as a perched water table aquifer is studied. The bottom shape is varied based on the criterion of ... -

Water Scarcity Effects on Equitable Water Distribution and Land Use in a Major Irrigation Project—Case Study in India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)In many river basins, upstream development and interannual variations in rainfall can cause both episodic and chronic shortages in water supplies downstream. Continued rapid development of surface and groundwater throughout ... -
Identifying Head Loss from Early Drawdowns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A method is proposed for identifying the head loss from the early drawdowns at the pumped well and an observation well. The new method is computationally simple and the calculations can be performed even on a hand-held ... -

Estimating Regional Evapotranspiration Using Remote Sensing: Application to Sone Low Level Canal System, India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Remote sensing-derived spectral data have been used in the past to partition net radiation, soil heat, and sensible heat fluxes for estimating latent heat flux as a residual of surface energy balance, and thus regional ... -
Physically Based Coupled Model for Simulating 1D Surface–2D Subsurface Flow and Plant Water Uptake in Irrigation Furrows. II: Model Test and Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)A physically based seasonal Furrow Irrigation Model was developed, which comprises three modules: The one-dimensional surface flow, the two-dimensional subsurface flow, and a crop model. The modeling principles of these ... -
Comparison of Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration Equations in Southern Spain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)ASCE and FAO-56 standardized reference evapotranspiration -
Temperature Effects on the Infiltration Rate through an Infiltration Basin BMP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Infiltration Best Management Practices (BMPs) are becoming more readily acceptable as a means of reducing postdevelopment runoff volumes and peak flow rates to pre-construction levels, while simultaneously increasing ... -
Identifying Representative Parameters of IUH
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)A simple procedure is proposed, using a linear transform, for obtaining a single representative effective rainfall hyetograph (ERH) and the corresponding direct runoff hydrograph (DRH) by processing multistorm data. Using ... -
Layout Design of Irrigation Networks in Highly Parcelled Territories Using Geographical Information System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Traditional irrigation zones in the east of Spain have been denoted by the high level of parcellation. The layout of the irrigation network design in highly parcelled territories presents an important degree of difficulty, ... -
Optimization Model for Allocating Water in a River Basin during a Drought
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Optimization of water use is a complex problem in a large scale river basin. One of the most important approaches in optimizing water use in a river basin is to find the relationship between water demand and water supply. ... -

Irrigation Water Resource Management for Sustainable Agriculture—The Ankobra Basin, Ghana
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Two irrigation water assessment methods, the USDA classification scheme and the soil infiltration potential, were applied to water from three different locations (Ankwaso, Dominase, and Prestea) of the Ankobra River basin ... -
Evaluation of Four Permeable Pavement Sites in Eastern North Carolina for Runoff Reduction and Water Quality Impacts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Four permeable pavement applications in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain were constructed and monitored to determine their effectiveness of reducing runoff quantity and improving water quality. Sites were either constructed ... -
Estimating Storage Coefficient and Transmissivity from Slug Test Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)A new accurate approximation for the well function for instantaneous charge of water for large diameter wells is proposed. Using this approximation with an optimization method, storage coefficient and transmissivity are ...
