Nonparametric Framework for Long‐range Streamflow Forecasting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The extended streamflow prediction (ESP) procedure of the National Weather Service River Forecast System (NWSRFS) produces long‐range forecasts of streamflow through the use of hydrologic models and historical hydrologic ... -
Conjunctive‐Use Planning in Mad River Basin, California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A conjuctive‐use management model is presented that can be used to develop planning and operational strategies for a river basin. In contrast to previous investigations, the conjunctive‐use model explicitly incorporates ... -
Benefit‐Cost Ratios: Failures and Alternatives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Despite decades of criticism, the benefit-cost ratio remains one of the most common measures of performance employed in economic evaluation of engineering projects. This paper reviews the problems inherent in this measure ... -
Quasi‐Three‐Dimensional Optimization Model of Jakarta Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)An optimization model for the control of saltwater intrusion in the Jakarta Multiple aquifer system is presented. The optimization model incorporates a quasi‐three‐dimensional, finite‐difference simulation model of the ... -
Probability Distribution for Benefit/Cost Ratio and Net Benefit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Benefit/cost ratio and net benefit are the two most commonly used criteria for evaluating the economic merit of public development projects. Due to the existence of uncertainty in cost and benefit estimations, the benefit/cost ... -
Drought Management Plan for Lower Colorado River in Texas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The drought management plan (DMP) for the lower Colorado River of Texas is described. The plan identifies how the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) will allocate stored water in the Highland Lakes of central Texas to ... -

Role for Decision‐Support Systems in Water‐Delivery Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)In this paper, we outline the framework of a decision support system (DSS) for water‐system designers dealing with water‐quality and water‐supply decisions. These decisions include the efficient acquisition, distribution, ... -
Multistep Planning Model for Conjunctive Use of Surface‐ and Ground‐Water Resources
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A three‐step modeling approach is presented for comprehensive analysis of the planning problem involving integrated use of surface and ground water in irrigation. Applicability of the approach is illustrated by a case study ... -
Law and Natural‐Resource Development: Case of Water in Lesotho
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper examines the role of the Lesotho Water Resources Act of 1978 in national development. The paper concludes that the act could be very effective in promoting equitable and efficient use of water resources in the ... -
Conjunctive Water Use to Control Waterlogging and Salinization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A conjunctive‐use model is developed to maximize water user's return under limited and dynamic water supply for long‐term conditions. Salt distribution in the crop root zone is modeled and its effect on crop yield is also ... -
Expert Systems for Mixing‐Zone Analysis and Design of Pollutant Discharges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Water‐quality policy in the United States includes the concept of a mixing zone, a limited area or volume of water where initial dilution of an aqueous pollutant discharge occurs. Given a myriad of possible discharge ... -
Adaptive Control of Ground‐Water Hydraulics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)In operating a ground‐water management system it is likely the true aquifer response will deviate from the response predicted during the design phase. Efficient operation will require adjustments in operation based on ... -
