Field Test of Grassed-Swale Performance in Removing Runoff Pollution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The paper presents results of field tests, conducted in Taiwan and Virginia, of the pollutant removal efficiencies of grassed swales. Swales are a low-cost storm-water best management practice (BMP) that have been reported ... -
Appraisal of Source Head Methods for Calculating Reliability of Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents a new way of interpreting the results of the traditional demand-driven network analysis as an approximation to pressure-driven simulation so as to calculate the reliability of single-source networks. ... -
Multireservoir Modeling with Dynamic Programming and Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)For optimal multireservoir operation, a dynamic programming-based neural network model is developed in this study. In the suggested model, multireservoir operating rules are derived using a feedforward neural network from ... -
Optimal Extraction of Water from Regional Aquiferunder Salinization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A model for the optimal management of a regional aquifer under salinization is developed. The objectives of management are to maximize the total amount of water pumped for use and to minimize the total amount of salt ... -
Determining Urban Storm Water BMP Effectiveness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The goal of this U.S. EPA-funded cooperative research program with the ASCE is to develop a more useful set of data on the effectiveness of storm water best management practices (BMPs) used to reduce pollutant discharges ... -
Geographic Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, and Urban Storm-Water Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The application of geometric information system (GIS) technology to the field of urban storm-water modeling is reviewed. Then a GIS application in urban storm-water management is presented at a neighborhood scale. The ... -
One-Way Spatial Multiscale Method for Optimal Bioremediation Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Ground-water management models can be computationally intensive and field-scale application of these techniques to complex processes such as in situ bioremediation is not currently possible. A one-way spatial multiscale ... -
Hydrologic Mitigation Using On-Site Residential Storm-Water Detention
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)On-site storm-water detention systems can be used to mitigate the hydrologic effects of residential development and to provide a supplemental water supply at the scale of single residences. A three-year rainfall record ... -
Are Best-Management-Practice Criteria Really Environmentally Friendly?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)In the 1990's, a number of best management practices (BMPs) manuals have been developed that address the control of urban runoff to protect receiving water quality. More recently, several papers have investigated the ... -
Water-Sensitive Urban Planning: Modeling On-Site Infiltration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A hydrological micromodel was developed and applied to a neighborhood typical of urban development on Israel's coastal plain, over the phreatic coastal aquifer. The model was used for analyzing the effects of urban development ... -
Water Distribution Network Design Optimization: Simulated Annealing Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001) -
Waste-Load Allocation Using Genetic Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper explores the capabilities of genetic algorithms for identifying solutions to waste-load allocation problems. Three optimization model formulations are developed for examining different waste-load allocation ... -
Interior-Point Method for Reservoir Operation with Stochastic Inflows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A new method is proposed for long-term reservoir operation planning with stochastic inflows. In particular, the problem is formulated as a two-stage stochastic linear program with simple recourse. The stochastic inflows ... -
Hydrologic Assessment of Water Losses in River
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Water loss in a channel is an important component of the hydrologic budget for the design and planning of a water diversion and delivery system. Quantitative assessment of channel losses is required in the calculations of ... -
Design of Circular Infiltration Basin under Mounding Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The operation of an infiltration basin is jointly controlled by the infiltration at the land surface and the seepage through the subsurface medium. When the operation of the basin is under a back pressure due to water ... -
Goal Programming Decision Support System for Multiobjective Operation of Reservoir Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Many authors have documented the minimal use of optimization in practical day-to-day multipurpose reservoir operations. The RiverWare decision support system is a flexible general river basin modeling tool that allows water ... -
