Optimization of Water Supply System Operation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)An optimization model has been developed to generate pump schedules in real-time operation for a complex water supply system by considering major difficulties posed by a complicated tariff; especially demand charges, ... -
Methodology for Optimizing Design of Integrated Tank Irrigation System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Tank irrigation has been in existence for centuries. However, optimization of the tank irrigation system is of recent origin. Even this has been attempted in piecemeal, optimizing every segment/aspect of the irrigation ... -
Risk-Cost Decision Framework for Aquifer Remediation Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The writers present a framework for increasing the effectiveness of remedial design decision-making at ground-water contamination sites where there is uncertainty in many parameters that affect remediation design. It is ... -
Performance of a Virtual Runoff Hydrograph System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A Virtual Runoff Hydrograph System (VROHS) based on artificial neural network technology was designed and developed to generate runoff hydrograph. Data from 45 lab experiment sets were used to develop the VROHS. A recurrent ... -
Water-Supply System Operations: Critiquing Expert-System Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A critiquing expert system provides computer-based–decision support for water-supply system operations of the San Francisco Water Department (SFWD). This implementation of expert-system methods augments the capabilities ... -
Discussion of “Peak Outflow from Breached Embankment Dam” by David C. Froehlich
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Design of Optimal Reliable Multiquality Water-Supply Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A methodology which integrates the optimal design and reliability of a multiquality water-supply system is presented and demonstrated. The system designed is able to sustain prescribed failure scenarios, such as any single ... -
Dependence of Water Quality and Fish Habitat on Lake Morphometry and Meteorology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The dependence of lake water temperatures, dissolved oxygen concentrations, and associated fish habitat characteristics on weather parameters and lake morphometry has been quantified from the output of verified water quality ... -
Designing Instream Flows to Satisfy Fish and Human Water Needs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The relicensing of nonfederal hydropower projects and the mandated reevaluation of federal water projects require policy makers to balance the human use of water with instream releases for environmental values. To meet the ... -
Watershed Modeling and Flood Routing for Safety Assessment of an Existing Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Hydroelectric power resources constitute a renewable and economic means of providing electricity to serve the energy needs of our modern society. As dams get older, there is a need to ensure that their conditions of safety ... -
Deriving a General Operating Policy for Reservoirs Using Neural Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Reservoir operating policies are derived to improve the operation and efficient management of available water for the Aliyar Dam in Tamil Nadu, India, using a dynamic programming (DP) model, a stochastic dynamic programming ... -
Closure to “Peak Outflow from Breached Embankment Dam” by David C. Froehlich
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Optimal Design of Water-Distribution Networks with GIS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Many powerful optimal design models have been developed for municipal water-distribution networks, but few are in practical use since they are difficult for water engineers to understand and require an extensive data base ... -
Reservoir Targets for Urban Water Supply Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Computer simulation models are widely used for planning multiple reservoir water supply systems. These models are used to investigate different options such as water supply augmentation and to establish long-term operational ... -
Discussion of “Design Heuristic for Globally Minimum Cost Water-Distribution Systems” by G. V. Loganathan, J. J. Greene, and T. J. Ahn
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Operating Rule Optimization for Missouri River Reservoir System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper describes the application of deterministic optimization to the main stem Missouri River reservoir system and the development and testing of inferred optimal operating rules from these model results. An implicit ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Culvert Composite Sampler: A Cost-Effective Storm-Water Monitoring Device
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A low-cost urban storm-water sampling device (culvert composite sampler) has been designed, developed, and field tested. The device provides an economical alternative to current procedures used for collecting flow-weighted ... -

Management Framework for Large-Scale Water Problems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Large-scale water problems require management actions by many players, but without coordinated frameworks for action, there will be gridlock, high legal expenses, and conflict-filled decision processes. However, implementing ...
