    • Technology, Society, and Water Management 

      Warren Viessman, Jr. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)
      Social and environmental goals and objectives are continually changing and are often difficult to quantify. Furthermore, they encompass both technologic and social dimensions, the latter being the most troublesome. The ...
    • Public Involvement, Conflict Management: Means to Eq and Social Objectives 

      Jerome Belli Priscoli (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)
      Engineers, scientists, and even some social scientists prefer to look at water resources planning and management as primarily analytical. However, more and more of the water professionals' analytical work depends on ...
    • Education—Key to Dealing with Social and Environmental Objectives 

      Ernest T. Smerdon (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)
      Education is viewed from the perspective of its role in providing understanding to guide action on complex water issues involving engineering and social and environmental considerations. A case study is presented on an ...
    • Routing Procedure for Ungaged Channels 

      Daniel B. Pridal; Wesley P. James (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)
      A hydraulic streamflow routing method was developed using the continuity equation and the control volume form of the energy equation. The required input data consists of a geometric description of the cross‐section, Manning ...
    • Adjustment Factors for Flood Damage Curves 

      Edward A. McBean; Jack Gorrie; Michael Fortin; John Ding; Ralph Monlton (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      Estimates are provided for quantifying adjustments to depth‐damage tables as a result of flooding events of different types on residential dwellings. The adjustments reflect estimated changes to flood damages due to the ...
    • Spatial Correlation of Hydrologic Time Series 

      David A. Chin (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      A methodology for extracting random components and estimating the relationship between coherent components of hydrologic time series has been presented. The technique has been verified using synthetic data and validated ...
    • Operating Policies For Reservoir Pumped‐Water Interties 

      E. Earl Whitlatch; Nageshwar R. Bhaskar; Michael J. Martin (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      One means to increase effective water supply yield is to have pumpedwater intertie of reservoirs. The management of Hoover Reservoir and its associated pumped‐water intertie with Alum Creek Reservoir in the water supply ...
    • Operational Guidance During Droughts: Expert System Approach 

      Richard N. Palmer; K. John Holmes (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      Seattle, Washington, suffered its most extreme drought on record during the summer and fall of 1987. Severe and continuing water use restrictions were required to limit the drought's impact on municipal water supplies, ...
    • Editorial 

      Warren J. Viessman, Jr.; Walter M. Grayman (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)
    • Risk Analysis of Aquifer Contamination by Brine 

      Benjamin F. Hobbs; Carl Von Patterson; M. E. Maciejowski; Yacov Y. Haimes (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      Underground disposal of liquid wastes poses a danger of groundwater contamination. The prediction of their impacts is subject to many uncertainties. This paper develops and applies a risk analysis model that addresses ...
    • Flood Depth—Damage Curves By Interview Survey 

      Edward A. McBean; Jack Gorrie; Michael Fortin; John Ding; Ralph Moulton (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      Results of interview surveys for potential flood damages are used to develop depth—damage curves for structural and content groupings and alternative residence types. Statistical significance tests are used to collapse 28 ...
    • Reviewers of the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management 

      Unknown author (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
    • Grid‐Based Application of Runoff Curve Numbers 

      Dale White (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      The development and validation of a methodological approach to predicting runoff over large regions is considered. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) runoff curve number procedure is modified to allow for areal variation ...
    • Objective Rainfall Evaluation in Radar Hydrology 

      Nicolas R. Dalezios (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      A newly developed bivariate statistical analysis is compared to several rainfall analyses, namely the radar univariate analysis, the reciprocal‐distance raingage interpolation model, the Brandes field adjustment procedure, ...
    • Closure to “<i>Synthetic Unit Hydrograph</i>” by Wesley P. James, Phillip W. Winsor, and Jimmy R. Williams (January, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 1) 

      Wesley P. James; Phillip W. Winsor; Jimmy R. Williams (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
    • Representing Hydropower in Hydrothermal Power System 

      James E. Giles (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      A method is developed for evaluating a hydro‐system schedule for a large power system that has both hydro and thermal resources. The method computes thermal costs that accrue while meeting hourly generation requirements ...
    • Estimating Costs Model of Dual Water Supply Systems 

      Robert Leconte; Trevor C. Hughes; Rangesan Narayanan (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
      A mixed integer programming model is used to generate the optimal design of dual water supply systems. The water‐supply network is of branched, or nonlooped, type, and the model selects discrete pipe sizes as well as optimal ...
    • Better Than “Optimal” Method for Designing Drainage Systems 

      S. Wayne Miles; James P. Heaney (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)
