Development of the Río de La Plata System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A brief description of the Río de La Plata hydrographic basin, the second largest in South America and the fifth largest in the world, is given. Its location, extension, and climate are mentioned. The catchments are ... -
Major Water Resource Problems and Projects in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Some water resource problems and projects in China are outlined in this note. Major water resources problems identified here are 1) Flood damage mitigation: 2) water shortage in the north; and 3) rapid nationwide water ... -
Elements of a Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Programs for stormwater management (SWM) have been promulgated by a variety of state, regional, and local government agencies. Existing SWM programs exhibit significant variation in objectives, requirements, and the division ... -
Model for Crop Allocation in Rural Floodplains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A model for rural land‐use allocation in terms of areas allocated to floodwater storage and types of crops grown is presented. The model integrates a dynamic programming formulation with a procedure for recognizing variation ... -
Comparative Aspects of Computerized Floodplain Data Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The evolving floodplain management policies in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States are reviewed and compared. In each country, computerized floodplain information processing and retrieval systems have been ... -
Potential Hydroenergy Production by Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper presents the solution of the very specific problem of potential hydroenergy production in the North Backa hydrosystem (Yugoslavia). The system was designed for supplying water to agricultural areas by pumping ... -
Discussion of “<i>Irrigation System Study in International Basin</i>” by M. C. Chaturvedi and U. C. Chaube (April, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Near Real‐Time Forecasting of Large Lake Supplies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) has developed conceptual model‐based techniques for making outlooks of basin moisture conditions, basin runoff, water supplies, and lake levels several months into ... -
Optimal Aqueduct Capacity and Distribution Policy: Discrete Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)This paper develops methods for determining the optimal design capacities and distribution management of water delivery systems in the presence of probabilistic supplies and known transportation losses. A discrete distance ... -
Hierarchical Algorithm for Water Supply Expansion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A computational method is described for finding the approximate optimal capacity expansion plan for a surface‐water supply system. The algorithm determines the estimated least‐costly sizing, sequencing, and operation of ... -
Discussion of “<i>Explicit Pipe Network Calibration</i>” by Lindell E. Ormsbee and Don J. Wood (April, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Evaluation and Scheduling of Water Conservation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A linear programming method is suggested for evaluating and scheduling water conservation measures for deferring or avoiding a single anticipated capacity expansion project. The method is contrasted with long‐run marginal ... -
Analysis of Statistical Monitoring Network Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The need to detect anthropogenic impacts in the natural environment has increased interest in the design of cost‐effective environmental monitoring networks. A variety of statistical models have been proposed for this ... -
Reliability Indices for Water Supply Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)In the design of hydraulic structures for flood control, it has become standard practice to employ the average return period of a flood as the design event. This study introduces an analogous index for the design of a water ... -
Real‐Time Flood Management Model for Highland Lake System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A real‐time flood management (forecasting) model is developed for flood operation of the Lower Colorado River‐Highland Lake System in Texas. This model combines techniques for one‐dimensional unsteady flow routing, ... -
Water Resources Analysis Using Electronic Spreadsheets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Electronic spreadsheet software developed for microcomputers provides a means by which an engineer can prepare and analyze data, estimate model parameters, perform desktop calculations, and thoroughly document all work. ... -
Closure to “<i>Satisfying Instream Flow Needs Under Western Water Rights</i>” by Jay M. Bagley, Dean T. Larson, and Lee Kapaloski (April, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
