Development of Water Budget for Tailwater Recovery Systems in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Unsustainable groundwater use for agricultural irrigation has led to declining aquifer levels across the United States, necessitating implementation of water conservation practices. One conservation practice being implemented ... -
Prediction of Local Scour Depth Downstream of Sluice Gates Using Harmony Search Algorithm and Artificial Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Using two coupled models, this study predicts the maximum local scour depth downstream of sluice gates. The models are an artificial neural network (ANN) coupled with the harmony search (HS) algorithm, and an ANN coupled ... -
Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques for Assessing Irrigation Performance: Case Study in Southern California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents the potential of remotely sensed data in addressing spatially distributed irrigation equity, adequacy, and sustainability. The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) was implemented to map ... -
GIS-Based Method for Estimating Surficial Groundwater Levels in Coastal Virginia Using Limited Information
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In many coastal areas, high water tables are present, complicating installation of some stormwater best management practices (BMPs) that rely on infiltration. Regional estimates of the seasonal high water table (SHWT) often ... -
Development of a Low-Cost Solar-Powered Water Supply System for Small-Scale Drip Irrigation Farms in Sub-Saharan Africa: Dosing Tank and Bell Siphon Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A substantial amount of work has been done concerning the use of siphons to automatically start and stop the discharge of fluid in many applications, except for application as a water supply system for smallholder drip ... -
Closure to “Evaluation of Valiantzas’ Simplified Forms of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith Reference Evapotranspiration Model in a Humid Climate” by Koffi Djaman, Daran Rudnick, Valere C. Mel, Denis Mutiibwa, Lamine Diop, Mamadou Sall, Isa Kabenge, Ansoumana Bo

Forced Hydraulic Jump in a Diverging Stilling Basin Using Angled Baffle Blocks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The effect of angled baffle blocks for improving hydraulic jump characteristics in a gradually diverging stilling basin with an adverse bed slope was investigated experimentally. Baffle blocks with different angles of ... -
Economic Viability of Canal Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)If the flow in a pipeline is maintained by creating a pressure head by pumping, it is called a pumping main. On the other hand, the flow in a canal is maintained through an elevation difference. Being gravity sustained, ... -
Hydraulic Performance Assessment of Sprinkler Irrigation with Rotating Spray Plate Sprinklers in Indoor Experiments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A recently developed rotating spray plate sprinkler (RSPS) with a six-grooved plate (R 3) is evaluated in this paper. A set of nozzles numbered 15/128 in. (2.98 mm), 17/128 in. (3.37 mm), and 19/128 in. ... -
Combining Hydrologic Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment Approaches to Evaluate Sustainability of Water Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Designing urban water infrastructure systems for environmental sustainability requires consideration of hydrologic performance design criteria and results from life cycle assessment (LCA). The objective of this paper is ... -
