    • Maintenance of Water Rights over Time under Model State Water Code 

      William E. Cox (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      The Model State Water Code establishes procedures for definition of water rights and their maintenance over time. Provisions for maintenance become increasingly important with passage of time, as a higher portion of a ...

    • Discussion and Closure: Market Models, Protest Bids, and Outliers in Contingent Valuation

    • Differential Dynamic Programming for Estuarine Management 

      Guihua Li; Larry W. Mays (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      A differential dynamic programming (DDP) procedure is applied to solve both linear and nonlinear estuarine-management problems to determine the optimal amount of freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries to maximize fishery ...

    • Modeling Distribution System Water Quality: Regulatory Implications 

      Robert M. Clark; Lewis A. Rossman; Larry J. Wymer (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1974 and its Amendments in 1986 (SDWAA) is changing the way water is treated and delivered in the United States. Under the SDWAA the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is ...

    • Impact of Landscape Feature and Feature Placement on Agricultural Non-Point-Source-Pollution Control 

      Udoyara S. Tim; Robert Jolly; Hsiu-Hua Liao (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Management of agricultural non-point-source pollution in watersheds requires an integrated approach involving implementation of on-field and off-field management practices. An off-field management practice that is widely ...

    • Mean Annual Flood Estimation 

      Prabhata K. Swamee; Chandra Shekhar P. Ojha; Ali Abbas (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      A dimensional analysis approach to a regional analysis of annual flood peaks in much of India is described and developed. Dimensional variables were formed using the mean annual flood, the average rainfall, the rainfall ...

    • Optimal Reservoir Control for Hydropower on Colorado River, Texas 

      Quentin W. Martin (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) of Texas is both a water and energy supplier to central Texas. LCRA's power production includes hydroelectric power plants at the six dams of the Highland Lakes reservoir system, ...

    • Drought Water Rationing and Transferable Rations 

      Jay R. Lund; Robert U. Reed (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Water rationing is a common, but little studied, technique for managing urban water supplies during drought. This paper reviews a wide range of approaches for implementing water rationing for urban drought management. These ...

    • Water Rights in Texas 

      Ralph A. Wurbs (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Allocation of water in Texas evolved historically over several centuries into an essentially unmanageable system. Water management has progressed significantly in recent years with the transition of riparian rights to a ...

    • Optimal Control Approach for Sedimentation Control in Alluvial Rivers 

      Carlos C. Carriaga; Larry W. Mays (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      A new methodology is developed for determining optimal reservoir releases to minimize the downstream adverse effects in alluvial rivers. The methodology is based on describing the problem as a discrete-time optimal control ...

    • Comment on the <i>closure that </i> addresses the Paper Entitled: <i>JURY VERDICT: FREQUENCY VERSUS RISK-BASED CULVERT DESIGN</i> 

      Jonathan E. Jones (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)

    • Integrated CAD Package for Storm-Water Drainage Networks 

      K. W. Chau (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      This technical note presents the development of a computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting package (DRAINAGE) for medium-sized municipal storm-water drainage systems. The numerical model, which is designed for use on IBM/PC ...

    • Storage-Reliability-Resilience-Yield Relations for Northeastern United States 

      Richard M. Vogel; Neil M. Fennessey; Ralph A. Bolognese (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      An evaluation of time-series of streamflow at 166 basins in the northeastern United States reveals that this region is remarkably homogeneous in terms of the year-to-year variability and persistence of average annual ...

    • Optimization and Pipe-Sizing Decisions 

      Thomas M. Walski (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      An important reason for the lack of wide acceptance of pipe-sizing optimization in engineering practice is the fact that there is not one single pipe-sizing problem, but rather several significantly different types of ...

    • Generalized Network Algorithm for Water-Supply-System Optimization 

      Yung-Hsin Sun; William W-G. Yeh; Nien-Sheng Hsu; Peter W. F. Louie (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the development of fast network flow algorithms aiming at solving linear programming problems with network substructures. Recognizing the fact that the basic structure ...

    • Peak Flow and Volume Predictions Using Frequency-Equivalent Hydrographs 

      F. Amini; R. L. Smith (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
