Cisterns for Water Conservation and Flood Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)In this paper the potential contribution of privately owned cistern systems to both water conservation and flood control in arid and semi‐arid regions is examined. Although it is demonstrated that, given the current cost ... -
Discussion of “<i>Synthetic Unit Hydrograph</i>” by Wesley P. James, Phillip W. Winsor, and Jimmy R. Williams (January, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Multicriterion Selection of Wastewater Management Alternatives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Multicriterion decision‐making (MCDM) techniques are used to analyze a multiobjective wastewater management problem in order to select an appropriate management scheme. A specific case study consisting of 15 alternative ... -
Issues in Rule Base Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)An expert system is an efficient human‐computer system designed to automatically produce decisions that normally require the application of both factual and heuristic information by a human expert. Expert systems do not ... -
Multicriterion Stormwater Management Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Both theory and experience indicate that, while detention basins designed to control peak discharge are effective in controlling peak rates, the basins are ineffective in controlling the degradation of erodible channels ... -
Design of Sewage Lagoons Using Stochastic Streamflow Sequences
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A risk‐based design procedure for hydrograph‐controlled release sewage lagoons is derived. This procedure is based on a stochastic analysis of flood interarrival time, duration, and volume. By modeling streamflow as a ... -
Nonpoint Source Pollution Monitoring Program Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper describes a computer‐aided methodology designed to aid in the determination of water quality and ecological change resulting from nonpoint sources of water pollution. The nonpoint monitoring program design ... -
Dempster's Rule of Combination in Soil‐Loss Prediction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Soil erosion has long been a major problem to mankind and continues to threaten soil conservation worldwide. To deal effectively with this problem, the first step is to obtain a reasonably accurate prediction of the soil ... -
General Water Supply System Simulation Model: WASP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)WASP is a mass‐balance quasi‐simulation computer package developed to facilitate analysis of the performance of the head works and transfer components of a water supply system under different operating policies and changes ... -
Regression Estimates for Topological‐hydrograph Input
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Physiographic, hydrologic, and rainfall data from 18 small drainage basins in semiarid, central Wyoming were used to calibrate topological, unit‐hydrograph models for celerity, the average rate of travel of a flood wave ... -
Modeling Distribution‐System Water Quality; Dynamic Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Interest is growing in determining the quality variations that exist in drinking water distribution systems. This paper is dedicated to understanding distribution‐system quality issues and to the development of a model ... -
Discussion of “<i>Floodway Delineation and Management</i>” by D. Earl Jones, Jr. and Jonathan E. Jones (March 1987, Vol. 113, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Wet Weather Water Quality Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)An integrated, rainfall‐runoff and runoff‐receiving waterquality modeling protocol was developed to quantify the impact of combined sewer overflow events on in‐stream dissolved oxygen concentration. Modeling assumptions ... -
Closure to “<i>Floodway Delineation and Management</i>” by D. Earl Jones, Jr. and Jonathan E. Jones (March 1987, Vol. 113, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Cost‐Benefit Analysis of Flood‐Plain Zoning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The economic yield of a flood‐plain zoning program is measured by cost‐benefit analysis. The methodology entails the use of a probabilistic hydroeconomic model to evaluate expected flood damages with and without zoning. ... -
Water Distribution Reliability: Analytical Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Probabilistic reliability measures for the performance of water distribution networks are developed and analytical methods for their computation explained. The paper begins with a review of reliability considerations and ... -
Discussion of “<i>Minimizing The Cost of Coping With Droughts: Springfield, Illinois</i>” by Benedykt Dziegielewski and James E. Crews (October, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 4)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Water Distribution Reliability: Simulation Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Following a companion paper on analytical methods, this paper presents simulation as a complementary method for analyzing the reliability of water distribution networks. For this simulation, the distribution system is ... -
