Optimal Configuration and Scheduling of Ground‐Water Tracer Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A technique for jointly configuring and scheduling a monitoring network for an aquifer tracer test is presented. A dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is used to select among competing designs for a test to provide data for ... -
Role of Sociodemographic Characteristics in Projections of Water Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The effects of demographic and other socioeconomic variables (other than total population size) on differentials in per capita residential water use have received insufficient attention in water resource planning and ... -
CO2‐Induced Climatic Changes and Irrigation‐Water Requirements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Effects of -
Discussion of “<i>Water Requirements versus Water Availability in Saudi Arabia</i>” by Omar S. Abu Rizaiza and Mohamed N. Allam (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
User‐Specific Water Demand Elasticities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Water demand elasticity is estimated for six user categories: residential; commercial; industrial; government; school; and total metered. Eight generalized least‐squares, linear regression models are derived for each user ... -
Equitable Apportionment between Nevada and California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)With the recent withdrawal of the interstate compact between California and Nevada from the U.S. Senate there has arisen consideration of a suit for equitable apportionment in the U.S. Supreme Court to determine the rights ... -
Random Variables versus Uncertain Values: Stochastic Modeling and Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Recent decades have seen great progress in the use of stochastic methods to model aspects of water resource problems. However, the design implications of stochastic modeling have been relatively overlooked. In particular, ... -
Reservoir Planning for Irrigation District
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A mixed integer linear optimization model for river basin development for irrigation is presented. The model is a chance‐constrained optimization model that considers the interactions between design and operation parameters ... -
Mass Transport Modeling in Contaminated Buried‐Valley Aquifer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The U.S. Geological Survey's two‐dimensional solute‐transport and dispersion model (the method of characteristics, or MOC, model) accurately reproduces the chloride‐concentration distribution observed in a buried‐valley ... -
Reservoir Operations by Successive Linear Programming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The dynamics of a reservoir system are usually described by the repeated applications of continuity equations. Since the number of variables involved is usually double the number of equations, the feasible solutions of the ... -
Sociotechnical Analysis of Irrigation Drainage in Central California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A sociotechnical framework is used to systematically investigate interactions between water agencies and proposed technical solutions to agricultural drainage problems in California's San Joaquin Valley during 1980s. State ... -
Alternative Water‐District Organization: Screening‐Level Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Several water‐district organization alternatives are investigated using data and demand functions from a municipal water district in Northern California. A mathematical program finds optimal seasonal allocations and water ... -
On Management of Ground Water in Ross Creek Basin, Alberta, Canada
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A basin‐stability‐based hydrological model is formulated for managing the ground water in Ross Creek Basin, Alberta. The model accounts for some deficiencies in the use of the classical aquifer‐hydraulics method of pump ... -
Annual Runoff Estimation for Catchments in India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Estimates of annual runoff are needed for planning of water resources projects. There is a lack of long‐period runoff records in a large number of catchments in India. In the absence of detailed data, use of regional ... -
Closure to “<i>Optimum Diversion Plan for Hydropower Scheme</i>” by Tawatchai Tingsanchli and Carlos C. Carriaga (March, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Climatic Sensitivity of California Water Resources
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The possible effects of climate change on the combined Central Valley Project‐California State Water Project (CVP/SWP) were evaluated using a three‐stage approach. In the first stage, runoff from four headwater “study ... -
Discussion of “<i>Education—Key to Dealing with Social and Environmental Objectives</i>” by Ernest T. Smerdon (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Discussion of “<i>Adjustmlent Factors for Flood Damage Curves</i>” by Edward A. McBean, Jack Gorrie, Michael Fortin, John Ding, and Ralph Moulton (November, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Optimal Design for Storm Sewer System with Pumping Stations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The purpose of this study is to develop a working model for the least‐cost optimal design of a storm sewer system, including the construction and operational costs of pumping stations. The new model is a modification of ... -
