    • Great Lakes Policies and Hydrospheric and Atmospheric Research Needs 

      Stanley A. Changnon, Jr. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Public policies in the Great Lakes have traditionally developed in an ad hoc manner as specific issues occurred. Recently, the transboundary pollution problems have caused this historical approach to become inadequate. Key ...

    • Budgeting of Water Distribution Improvement Projects 

      Fadi A. Karaa; David H. Marks; Robert Clark (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      This paper presents a linear programming formulation of the resource allocation problem applied to water distribution system rehabilitation and reconstruction. The decision variables are fractions of large bundles of water ...

    • Strategy for Managing Depleted Aquifers 

      William Whipple, Jr. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Although the engineering basis for managing depleted aquifer systems has been theoretically established, governmental management of such systems has been slow to develop, due to various economic, legal and institutional ...

    • Optimization Model for Groundwater Management in Multi‐Aquifer Systems 

      Hasan Yazicigil; Mohammed Rasheeduddin (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      The use of embedding technique as a mechanism for coupling the simulation model of a particular groundwater system with an optimization model has been extended herein to multi‐aquifer systems. The combined management model ...

    • Phosphorus Models Applied to New Mexico Reservoirs 

      Susan B. Bolin; Timothy J. Ward; Richard A. Cole (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Many empirical, mass balance phosphorus models have been developed and tested on northern temperate lakes. Sixteen published models were tested on New Mexico reservoirs to determine their usefulness in simulating reservoir ...

    • Stochastic Analysis of Dependable Hydropower Capacity 

      John W. Labadie; Darrell G. Fontane; Guillermo Q. Tabios, III; Nine Fang Chou (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Indexed sequential modeling (ISM) has been proposed by the Western Area Power Administration as an alternative approach to developing firm marketable capacity, i.e., project‐dependable hydropower capacity (PDC), in contrast ...

    • Validation of SWRRB—Simulator for Water Resources in Rural Basins 

      J. G. Arnold; J. R. Williams (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      A model called SWRRB (simulator for water resources in rural basins) was developed for simulating hydrologic and related processes in rural basins. The SWRRB model was developed by modifying the CREAMS (chemicals, runoff, ...

    • Markov‐Weibull Model of Monthly Streamflow 

      Richard J. Dalphin (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      A conceptually simple, month‐to‐month lag‐1 Markov streamflow simulation model is developed and tested extensively. Streamflow in any month is represented probabilistically by a family of three‐parameter Weibull distributions ...

    • Effects of Levee Extension on Marsh Flooding 

      Flora Chu Wang (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Western Terrebonne Parish, a low‐lying coastal marsh with numerous meandering bayous and small lakes, is located in south‐central Louisiana. The area is frequently inundated by backwater, tidal, and headwater floodings. ...

    • Quality and Uncertainty Assessment of Wildlife Habitat with Fuzzy Sets 

      Bilal M. Ayyub; Richard H. McCuen (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      A method of assessing the quality of wildlife habitat based on the judgment of experts is proposed. The method uses the concepts of fuzzy sets and systems. The proposed method can be applied to describe the wildlife habitat ...

    • Prioritizing Areas for Statewide Groundwater Monitoring 

      Linda P. Le Seur; H. Allen Wehrmann; Susan C. Schock; John M. Shafer (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      A methodology for identifying and prioritizing areas in Illinois for monitoring of hazardous substances in groundwater is described. The criteria used to determine monitoring priorities are the density of hazardous ...

    • Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level Rise, and Coastal Drainage Systems 

      James G. Titus; Chin Y. Kuo; Michael J. Gibbs; Tom B. LaRoche; M. Keith Webb; Jesse O. Waddell (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases are expected to warm the earth several degrees in the next century, which would raise sea level a few feet and alter precipitation patterns. Both of these changes ...

    • Brass Model: Application to Savannah River System Reservoirs 

      Raul Colon; George F. McMahon (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      The BRASS (basin runoff and streamflow simulation) model was developed to improve the real‐time and predictive determination of flood discharges and stages, and to aid in flood management decisions within the Savannah River ...

    • Battle of the Network Models: Epilogue 

      Thomas M. Walski; E. Downey Brill, Jr.; Johannes Gessler; Ian C. Goulter; Roland M. Jeppson; Kevin Lansey; Han‐Lin Lee; Jon C. Liebman; Larry Mays; David R. Morgan; Lindell Ormsbee (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      Several models that can be used to optimally size water distribution pipes were applied to a hypothetical system. The results are summarized in this paper. The models produced solutions with costs that were within 10% of ...

    • Strategic Use of Technical Information in Urban Instream Flow Plans 

      Berton L. Lamb; Nicholas P. Lovrich (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
      A number of cities hope to follow the example of San Antonio, Texas, in developing a viable tourist/retail park near an urban river. While this is an appealing idea, problems are associated with such a task, including the ...
