Aqueduct and Reservoir Capacities for Distribution Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The determination of the design capacity and operation policy of water delivery systems for farming areas is complicated by the temporal variability of demands and the corresponding use of delivery capacity, the probabilistic ... -
Cluster Analysis as Applied to Regional Flood Frequency
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A statistical technique for delineating groups of stations to be considered a region for regional flood frequency analysis is presented. The technique, which utilizes cluster analysis, allows the inclusion of a diversity ... -
Minimization of Raw Water Pumping Costs Using MILP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)With increasing demands for water, increasing costs for electrical energy, and often stagnant budgets, water utilities must begin to investigate alternative pumping policies that achieve cost savings while not sacrificing ... -
Hydraulic Geometry of Streams and Stream Habitat Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Quantification of the relationship between stream discharge and the availability of suitable aquatic habitat requires detailed information on the values of local depths and velocities as they vary through riffles and pools. ... -
Hydrodynamic Analysis of Floods in Urban System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Urban peak flows in metropolitan areas increase with urbanization. Demands for water supply, hydropower, and navigation, among other purposes, are also increased. This creates a complex water system problem that requires ... -
Water Resources Management in North China Plain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A conjunctive groundwater‐surface water planning model is presented. The optimization model maximizes the net revenue generated from the production of wheat, corn, and cotton over a one‐year planning horizon. The costs of ... -
Rainfall Intervention Analysis for On‐Line Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Rainfalls during summer season are a major cause of sporadic nonlinear transient drops in daily municipal water consumption. The nonhomogeneous, nonlinear effects induced by rainfall interventions on water use complicate ... -
On Least‐Cost Design of Aqueduct Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A new approach to solve the problem of designing an aqueduct system in areas of uniform terrain slope is developed. The approach is based on the premise that, apart from the amount of water to be allocated, the location ... -
Optimal Sequencing of Development for Hydropower Stations in Cascade
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The sequencing problem for hydropower station development is a multidimensional problem involving space‐time decisions. In this paper, a mathematical model that uses a combination of dynamic programming and mixed‐integer ... -
Floodplain‐Management Plan Enumeration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A branch‐and‐bound enumeration procedure improves the search for an optimal floodplain‐management plan. The procedure considers all combinations of expert‐defined alternative measures. However, through bounding, it eliminates ... -
Water Rights Modeling and Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A generalized model for simulation of surface water management under a prior appropriation water rights system was recently developed and applied to a major river basin in Texas. The water rights analysis model provides ... -
Management of Phosphorus and Nitrogen Inputs to Lake Rotorua, New Zealand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The water quality of Lake Rotorua has deteriorated since the 1960s because of excessive phytoplankton growths caused by increased inputs of phosphorus and nitrogen from the Rotorua city sewage treatment plant. Removal of ... -
Water Resources of GCC: International Aspects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Rapid economic development in the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council has led to major hydrologic stresses being laid on the aquifers underlying most of the Arabian Peninsula. These aquifers presently constitute ... -
Modeling Thermal Stratification in Transparent Adirondack Lake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A mixed‐layer thermal stratification model was calibrated for Woods Lake, a shallow acidic transparent lake located in the Adirondack region of New York, for most of the non‐ice‐cover period of 1985. The model was also ... -
Evaluation of Heuristic Program for Scheduling Treatment Plant Pumps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)PILOTE is a computer program that attempts to reproduce decisions of expert operators in scheduling outlet pumps at a water treatment plant near Paris, France. The program integrates both mathematical models and heuristics, ... -
Regionalization in Water Supply Industry: Status and Needs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Regionalization is often recommended to help solve the water supply industry's problems but it has received little sustained policy attention. It offers three potential classes of benefits: economies of scale, extension ... -
Chance‐Constrained Model for Management of Stream‐Aquifer System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A chance‐constrained optimization model for a stream‐aquifer system is developed using an approximate solution for the transient drawdown of the water table of an aquifer by a well operating near a river. The model explicitly ... -
Low‐Flow Frequency Analysis Using Probability‐Plot Correlation Coefficients
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Although a vast amount of literature exists on the selection of an appropriate probability distribution for annual maximum floodflows, few studies have examined which probability distributions are most suitable to fit to ...
