Salinity‐Intrusion Forecasting System for Gambia River Estuary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A methodology is presented for forecasting the response of salinity movement in a tidal estuary to seasonal rainfall and freshwater inflows. The forecasting procedure uses linked stochastic and deterministic models to ... -
Application of GIS Network Routines for Water Flow and Transport
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Network routines are implemented within several geographic information systems (GISs). These routines are primarily used in traffic routing and allocation analyses, and very little work has been done on their application ... -
Wellhead Protection Area Delineation: Linking Flow Model with GIS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The protection of areas that contribute water to public wells (wellhead protection areas or WHPAs) is an important component of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) ground‐water protection strategy. ... -
Implementation of GIS for Water Resources Planning and Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The geographic information systems (GIS) implementation process starts with the initial decision to use a GIS; proceeds through system selection, installation, and training; and up to data‐base development and product ... -
Integrated Hydrologic Modeling with Geographic Information Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The use of geographic information systems (GIS) for spatial hydrologic data analysis has provided many benefits for water resources permitting and design. This paper discusses a computer model, developed to aid phosphate ... -
Geographic Information Systems in Urban Storm‐Water Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Increasing use of distributed, physically based urban storm water management models requires urban water managers to acquire, maintain, and utilize the extensive, spatially referenced data bases necessary to support these ... -
Integrated GIS and Hydrologic Modeling for Countywide Drainage Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Using geographic information systems (GIS) technology as an underlying platform for hydrologic and hydraulic models provides an effective mechanism for performing large‐area surface water and drainage management studies. ... -
Expert Geographic Information System for Texas Water Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The feasibility of using an expert geographic information system (GIS) for long‐term regional water‐resources planning is evaluated through a case study examining an existing regional water‐supply system. This system is ... -
Nonpoint‐Pollution Model Sensitivity to Grid‐Cell Size
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Nonpoint‐pollution models estimate loadings of chemicals, sediment, and nutrients that degrade water quality. Before controls can be implemented, location and severity of pollution must be identified in the watershed basin. ... -
Toward Spatial Decision Support Systems in Water Resources
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Spatial decision support systems (SDSSs) are a new class of computer systems that combine the technologies of geographic information systems (GISs) and decision support systems (DSSs) to aid decision makers with problems ... -
Redundancy‐Constrained Minimum‐Cost Design of Water‐Distribution Nets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Quantification of the amount of redundancy in a looped water‐distribution network is necessary in order to compare different designs and to use an optimization approach in the design of the system. In this work, redundancy ... -
Predicting Pipe Failure Effects in Water Distribution Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A practical way of assessing the impact of various pipe failure conditions on water distribution networks is described. The method avoids the need to undertake a full network analysis or simulation for each particular ... -
Assessing Cost of Dam Failure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper describes the initial phase of an investigation to develop a methodology for estimating the total costs of a dam failure. This methodology takes into account the fundamental issues of accounting stance, damage ... -

Flood Hydrograph Estimation for Ungaged Wadis in Saudi Arabia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Flood hydrograph determination under arid climate for countries like Saudi Arabia is essential for the assessment of water resource potential and for the design of various hydraulic structures. To meet such objectives, ... -
Modeling Monsoon‐Affected Rainfall of Pakistan by Point Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Statistical analysis showed that monsoon reduced the variabilities of rainfall occurrences in Rechna Doab, an important agricultural region of Pakistan; but besides rainfall depths, it had little effect on other rainfall ...
