Long-Term Hydrologic Impact of Urbanization: A Tale of Two Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)At a watershed scale, land-use change can increase runoff, flooding, and nonpoint source pollution and degrade downstream water bodies. Thus it is important to assess the potential hydrologic impacts of land-use change ... -
Environmental Valuation and Its Economic Critics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)In the last few decades economists have devoted significant professional attention to developing and applying methods to place monetary values on environmental services. This paper summarizes the criticisms from within the ... -

Recurrence Analysis of Hydrologic Droughts of Differing Severity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Droughts are stochastic in nature, therefore, statistical assessment of droughts is an attractive approach for water resources planning and management. In this study, a methodology of frequency and risk analysis of hydrologic ... -
Economic Analysis of Water Service Investments and Tariffs in Cairo, Egypt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Donor agencies invested millions of dollars in the 1980s and 1990s to improve water and wastewater services in Cairo, Egypt. An economic analysis of these investments raised several issues relevant to planning and financing ... -
Practical Estimation of Inflows into Multireservoir System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Reservoir system operation requires a variety of hydrologic information, of which streamflow data are most essential. Typically, available gauged streamflows are processed to represent flows at the location of a reservoir. ... -
Economic Valuation of Resource Injuries in Natural Resource Liability Suits
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Several major federal environmental statutes enacted in the 1970s designate federal, state, and tribal resource management agencies as trustees of natural resources on behalf of the public and enable the trustees to recover ... -
Jeddah City with and without Sewerage: Cost Comparison
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Fifty years ago, Jeddah, on the Red Sea Coast of Saudi Arabia, was a very small city. In recent decades it has grown rapidly but the sewerage system has not. As a result, there is extensive on-site wastewater disposal, ... -
Determination of Low-Flow Characteristics for Texas Streams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Predictive equations for the harmonic mean flow; the 7-day, 2-year low-flow (7Q2); and the 7-day, 10-year low-flow (7Q10) of ungauged Texas streams are developed using multiple regression analysis based on meteorological ... -
Estimating Ground-Water Damages from Hazardous-Substance Releases
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)At present there are 1,194 Superfund sites throughout the United States that are on the National Priorities List, because past releases of hazardous substances have contaminated natural resources and pose a human health ... -
Valuing Beach Recreation Lost in Environmental Accidents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper reviews methods that can be used to estimate the loss in use value associated with saltwater beach recreation in the case of an environmental accident, such as an oil spill. Particular attention is focused on ... -
Value of Valuation: Introduction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The principal focus of this special issue of the -
Seasonal Risk Analysis for Floodplains in the Delaware River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Overland pollutant transport via surface runoff and flooding is a primary concern in the management of agricultural land resources in the Delaware River Basin. The Catskills is home to multiple water reservoirs that supply ... -
Cost-Benefit Analysis Based on Referendum CV: Dealing with Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)An interesting and potentially important, but little appreciated, result of the use of dichotomous-choice contingent valuation (CV) techniques is that there are about a dozen ways to deal econometrically with the data on ... -
Environmental Valuation Techniques in Water Resource Decision Making
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Economic valuation of environmental uses of water resources has the potential to bring a more balanced perspective to the allocation and management of water resources. Environmental valuation allows water resource benefits ... -
Optimal Operation of Water Distribution Pumps Considering Water Quality
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A new methodology has been developed for determining the optimal operation of water distribution system pumps with water quality considerations. The methodology is based upon describing the operation as a discrete time ... -
Parallel Computing in Water Network Analysis and Leakage Minimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)In this paper a parallel computing based software demonstrator for the simulation and leakage minimization of water networks is presented. This demonstrator, based on the EPANET package, tackles three different types of ... -
Storage Tank Management to Improve Drinking Water Quality: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The very marked chlorine decay measured in one section of the distribution system of a large North American city and the fluctuations in this decay were studied. The results obtained from operational data collection, flow ... -
Multicriteria Decision Analysis Applied to Glen Canyon Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Conflicts in water resources exist because river-reservoir systems are managed to optimize traditional benefits (e.g., hydropower and flood control), which are historically quantified in economic terms, whereas natural and ...
