Using Water-Distribution System Modeling to Assist Epidemiologic Investigations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)An epidemiologic study of childhood leukemia and central nervous system cancers that occurred in the period 1979 through 1996 in Dover Township, N.J., is being conducted. Because groundwater contamination has been documented ... -
Integration of Water Quantity and Quality in Strategic River Basin Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The integration of surface water quantity and quality objectives within the framework of a decision-support tool is presented in an application to the 12,400-km -
Editor's Note
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000) -
Derived Power Production and Energy Drawdown Rules for Reservoirs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Theoretical hydropower operation rules are derived and discussed for reservoirs in parallel, in series, and single reservoirs for cases where reservoirs typically refill before they empty and for parallel reservoirs when ... -
Environmental Impacts of River Diversion: Gabcikovo Barrage System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)An hydroelectric power system known as the Gabcikovo Barrage System was completed on a section of the Danube River between Hungary and Slovakia in 1996. Originally, the utilization of the river for hydropower production ... -
Detention Storage Volume for Small Urban Catchments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)To size storm-water detention basins, a volume-based method such as that of the Federal Aviation Administration is applicable to small urban catchments. However, the reliability of such a method depends on estimation of ... -
Discussion of “Modified Pipe Network Model for Incorporating Peak Demand Requirements” by Srinivasa Lingireddy, Don J. Wood, and Alan Nelson
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000) -
Editorial
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000) -
Reliability-Based Optimal Design of Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A new approach for reliability-based optimization of water distribution networks is presented. The approach is capable of recognizing the uncertainty in nodal demands and pipe capacity as well as the effects of mechanical ... -
Stochastic Optimal and Suboptimal Control of Irrigation Canals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The Saint-Venant equations of open-channel flow were linearized using the Taylor series and a finite-difference approximation of the original nonlinear, partial differential equations. Using the linear optimal control ... -
Closure to “Optimal Allocation of Water Withdrawals in River Basin” by Jennifer M. Jacobs and Richard M. Vogel

Risk-Cost Optimization under Uncertainty for Dredged Material Disposal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Disposal of contaminated dredged material may pose risks to ecological and human populations. These risks are highly uncertain. Measures to confine the dredged material and reduce these risks are likely to increase disposal ... -
Self-Reporting Systems for Environmental Compliance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Game-theoretic models are developed to study systematically self-monitoring and self-reporting requirements for industrial and other enterprises to demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations. Two specific systems ... -
Discussion of “Optimal Allocation of Water Withdrawals in River Basin” by Jennifer M. Jacobs and Richard M. Vogel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000) -
Performance of Various Kinetic Models for Chlorine Decay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A number of computer packages have been developed for modeling chlorine decay in water distribution networks. However, there is uncertainty as to the kinetic model that they should use for the decay mechanism. This paper ... -

Worsening of the Aral Basin Crisis: Can There Be a Solution?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The Aral Basin environmental crisis in Central Asia has been described as the world's largest man-made disaster. This paper examines the causes of the Aral Sea crisis and examines some of the major nontechnical and planning ... -
Probabilistic Model for Water Distribution Reliability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999) -
Kinetics of THM Species in Finished Drinking Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and its amendments impose restrictive rules for filtration of surface water and maximum contaminant levels for total trihalomethanes (THMs) in distribution systems. Extension of these ...
