Development of Multiobjective Management Models for Coastal Aquifers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Management models are developed and solved that are based on the advective-dispersive density-dependent miscible flow and transport processes in the aquifer. Various conflicting objectives of aquifer management are considered ... -
Evaluation of Genetic Algorithms for Optimal Reservoir System Operation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Several alternative formulations of a genetic algorithm for reservoir systems are evaluated using the four-reservoir, deterministic, finite-horizon problem. This has been done with a view to presenting fundamental guidelines ... -
Flood Retrofit of Coastal Residential Structures: Outer Banks, North Carolina
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)After Hurricane Emily struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina in August 1993, approximately 50 homeowners in the towns of Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras, N.C., elected to superelevate their houses to reduce the future ... -
Optimization of Regional Storm-Water Management Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)In order to mitigate the adverse impacts of urban drainage, storm-water detention ponds are commonly used in watersheds undergoing urban development. These ponds may occupy valuable land and involve initial construction, ... -
Historical Development of Wet-Weather Flow Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The management of wet-weather flow (WWF) is necessary to maintain the quality of urban water resources. Throughout history, strategies have been implemented to control WWF for many reasons, including flood and water quality ... -
Reliability-Based Loss Functions Applied to Manitoba Hydro Energy Generation System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)One of the major issues in planning the operation of reservoirs for energy generation is uncertainty in future reservoir inflows and energy demands. A reliability programming model addresses input uncertainty. This paper ... -
Discussion of “Multiobjective Zone TP Reduction Analyses for an Off-Stream Reservoir” by Jehng-Jung Kao and Cheng-Hsien Tsai
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999) -
Artesian Landfill Liner System: Optimization and Numerical Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Conventional landfill design attempts to control the downward seepage of leachate by using low permeability liners. The rate of leachate seepage into the underlying ground-water system can be controlled by decreasing the ... -
Screening Water Supply Options for the Edwards Aquifer Region in Central Texas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A screening model is developed to support the selection of alternatives for meeting future water demands and protecting sensitive ecosystems in the Edwards aquifer region of central Texas. Important attributes of the model ... -
Water Resources in Egypt: Strategies for the Next Century
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Knowledge of anticipated demands for water is a crucial element in water planning. The logical sequence in water resources planning is to examine the present demands of water for all purposes, to determine how the demand ... -
Mixed-Integer Chance-Constrained Models for Ground-Water Remediation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Ground-water remediation optimization models were formulated using a statistical optimization methodology, chance-constrained programming (CCP), to account for uncertainty in the coefficients of the models. Several models ... -

Is Rational Decision Making Appropriate for Management of Irrigation Reservoirs?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Existing rational metrics of performance used to identify optimal reservoir management policies are examined to determine if they adequately measure the desirability of a water release strategy. It is shown that such ... -
Discussion: Expected Probability and Annual Damage Estimators
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Cost-Effectiveness Analyses of Libya's Water Supply System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper summarizes the methods and results of economic analyses performed for the agency responsible for water supply development and operation in Libya in support of decisions regarding further investments in water ... -
Modified Pipe Network Model for Incorporating Peak Demand Requirements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In some states the design of branched pipes in rural water systems must be carried out based on pressure drops calculated using expected instantaneous peak flows. These instantaneous peak flows are based on the number of ... -
Sampling Design Methods for Water Distribution Model Calibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Field sampling is sometimes performed to support modeling activities—specifically, to estimate the parameters of a mathematical model or, more accurately, to calibrate the model. In this case, a relevant question for field ... -

Optimal Allocation of Water Withdrawals in a River Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)An increasing number of states use permit programs to coordinate and to control water resource allocations. A general approach is suggested for allocating and permitting water withdrawals in a river basin. A mathematical ... -
Risk-Cost Approach to Interim Drainage Structure Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)An interim drainage structure provides short service during the construction months of the permanent drainage structure. This study presents a risk-cost approach by which the design flood for an interim drainage structure ...
