Institutional and Technical Barriers to Risk-Based Water Resources Management: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Implementing risk-based Great Lakes water level management and forecasting, as recommended by the International Joint Commission, would allow managers and other interests affected by fluctuating water levels to consider ... -
Simulation/Optimization Modeling for Water Resources Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Many important advances have been made in the development of mathematical models for conjunctive water management and reservoir management. However, the conjunctive use models that have detailed stream/aquifer system ... -
Limitations of Deterministic Optimization Applied to Reservoir Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Deterministic optimization can produce suboptimal reservoir-control policies by failing to incorporate adequately the impact of low-probability events. Resulting operating policies may not efficiently balance the costs of ... -
Use of Focus Groups and Surveys to Evaluate Water Conservation Campaign
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)This paper presents an evaluation of the impacts of a three-year water conservation campaign conducted in Jordan by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. The campaign, which reached almost 45,000 individuals, was designed ... -
Derived Operating Rules for Reservoirs in Series or in Parallel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)This paper reviews a variety of derived single-purpose operating policies for reservoirs in series and in parallel for water supply, flood control, hydropower, water quality, and recreation. Such rules are useful for ... -
Fuzzy Optimization Model for Water Quality Management of a River System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999) -
Priority Preserving Unit Penalties in Network Flow Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A general algorithm is presented for determining values for unit cost coefficients that reflect water use priorities for network flow programming models of water resource systems. The overarching principle for setting unit ... -
Simulation of Water Networks Containing Controlling Elements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Theoretical models for hydraulic network analysis often assume idealized pipe networks. Practical network packages, however, allow for a variety of necessary controlling elements. Sometimes these are introduced as generalized ... -
Indicators of Impacts of Global Climate Change on U.S. Water Resources
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Environmental and socioeconomic indicators are selected to study the impacts of global warming on the water resources of the United States. One of the indicators, regional reservoir storage vulnerability, is a particularly ... -
Water Distribution Network Design Optimization: Simulated Annealing Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A simulated annealing-based heuristic has been developed to obtain the least-cost design of a looped water distribution network. A Newton search method was used to solve the hydraulic network equations. Simulated annealing ... -

Optimal Deterministic Reservoir Operations in Continuous Time
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)In 1946, Massé discussed the optimal operation of a single reservoir for hydroelectric energy production. He obtained his results by both economic reasoning and rigorous mathematical derivations using a generalized form ... -
Closure to “Optimal Location of Control Valves in Pipe Networks by Genetic Algorithm” by L. F. R. Reis, R. M. Porto, and F. H. Chaudhry

Stage-Discharge Relations on the Middle Mississippi River
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Based on measurements made on the Middle Mississippi River during the 1993 flood, stage-discharge relations for the rating curve are not single-valued. Analyses of these data suggest that the range of flow rates at a given ... -
Closure to “Multiobjective Zone TP Reduction Analyses for an Off‐Stream Reservoir” by Jehng-Jung Kao and Cheng-Hsien Tsai
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999) -
Fuzzy Relation Analysis for Multicriteria Water Resources Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)This paper is a summary of the efforts of Working Committee 4 (WC4) for the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence River Basin water levels reference study. A fuzzy relation analysis (FRA) model was used to analyze (including ordering, ... -
NileSim: A Windows-Based Hydrologic Simulator of the Nile River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The development of river basin policy and management plans involves a spectrum of concerned parties and organizations, only a small fraction of which are presented by technical professionals. Easily-used and highly-interactive ... -
