Randomized Stratified Sampling Methodology for Water Quality in Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Water utilities rely on samples collected from the distribution system to assure the quality of drinking water delivered to customers. However, few utilities employ a systematic sampling protocol to collect these samples. ... -
Short-Term Scheduling of Large-Scale Hydropower Systems for Energy Maximization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper describes a short-term hydro generation optimization program that is required by Fujian Electric Power Company Ltd. (FEPCL) to maximize hydropower production, given the beginning-of-study content of each reservoir ... -
Discussion of “Energy and Costs of Leaky Pipes: Toward Comprehensive Picture” by Andrew F. Colombo and Bryan W. Karney
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004) -
Strategic River Water Quality Planning Using Calibrated Stochastic Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Coordinated application of empirical and physically based stochastic models, based upon diverse and variable field data, creates a method for river water quality planning that is calibrated to account for parameter ... -
Conjunctive Use of Surface and Groundwater for Coastal and Deltaic Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A regional conjunctive use model is developed for a near-real deltaic aquifer system, irrigated from a diversion system, with some reference to hydrogeoclimatic conditions prevalent in the east coastal deltas of India. ... -
Effects of El Niño Southern Oscillation and Pacific Interdecadal Oscillation on Water Supply in the Columbia River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Decadal climate variability in the form of the Pacific Interdecadal Oscillation (PDO) is analyzed with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to assess impacts on seasonal water supply in the Columbia River Basin and to ... -
Use of Flow Meters for Managing Water Supply Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A study of water consumption data collection and processing in the context of on-line monitoring and burst detection in water distribution networks is presented using a methodology for positioning of flow meters and selection ... -
Watershed-Based Modeling with AGNPS for Storm Water Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A strategy for developing sediment transport information for storm water planning and management is described. The strategy links location-based and intensity-based development scenarios with potential water quality impacts ... -
Closure to “Energy and Costs of Leaky Pipes: Toward Comprehensive Picture” by Andrew F. Colombo and Bryan W. Karney
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004) -
Sensitivity Analysis of a Water-Quality Model Using Latin Hypercube Sampling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Decisions about water pollution control and management in river systems are increasingly based on predictions made with water quality models. Many uncertainties are associated with the development and calibration of such ... -
Managing Groundwater Levels in an Agricultural Area with Peat Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The Hula Decision Support System (HDSS) is designed to aid Hula site operators in managing groundwater levels in the Hula Lake region of Israel. Groundwater levels are managed by controlling water levels by using adjustable ... -
Undergraduate Research: Responsibility of a Research University

Optimal Operation of Multireservoir Systems: State-of-the-Art Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)With construction of new large-scale water storage projects on the wane in the U.S. and other developed countries, attention must focus on improving the operational effectiveness and efficiency of existing reservoir systems ... -
Reallocation of Federal Multipurpose Reservoirs: Principles, Policy, and Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Most federal reservoirs in operation throughout the United States serve multiple purposes, typically, flood control, hydropower, navigation, recreation, water quality, irrigation, and municipal water supply. In the decades ... -
Optimization of California’s Water Supply System: Results and Insights
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents results of a large-scale economic-engineering optimization model of California’s water supply system. The results of this 4-year effort illustrate the value of optimization modeling for providing ... -
Demand-Based Planning of Rural Water Systems in Developing Countries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)In the past decade, international donors and governments have generally required water supply systems to be financially self-sufficient, with stakeholder participation in their planning and operation to ensure sustainability. ... -
Operational Optimization of Water Distribution Systems Using a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Genetic algorithm (GA) optimization is well suited for optimizing the operation of water distribution systems, especially large and complex systems. GAs have good initial convergence characteristics, but slow down considerably ... -
Group Decision Making in Water Resources Planning Using Multiple Objective Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Water resources planning involves groups or institutions having differing objectives, responsibilities, and interests, and it requires collaboration for conflict resolution. In this paper, the characteristics and modeling ... -
