    • Modeling Two‐Well System in a Stratified Aquifer 

      Eiji Fukumori; Akio Wake; Emmett M. Laursen (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)
      A mathematical model and computational methods were developed for the flow behavior analysis of a stratified aquifer in response to simultaneous pumping of two fluids from both sides of the interface. A typical application ...
    • Average Annual Damage by Flood Frequency Zone 

      Nigel W. Arnell (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)
      Average annual flood damage can be calculated individually for each flood‐plain property, but a less time‐consuming approach is to estimate average annual damage using a set of typical values for buildings in specific ...
    • Simulating the Flood Mitigation Role of Wetlands 

      Hisashi Ogawa; James W. Male (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)
      A simulation methodology was developed for evaluating the flood mitigation potential of inland wetlands. The methodology accommodates widely used computer models with generally available input data. Being a watershed ...
    • Groundwater Management by Chance‐Constrained Model 

      Yeou‐Koung Tung (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)
      A stochastic groundwater management model for a confined, homogenous, and nonuniform aquifer is developed using the concept of response function in the linear system theory. The Cooper‐Jacob equation is used to develop the ...
    • Discussion of “<i>Limitations on Seasonal Snowmelt Forecast Accuracy</i>” by Dennis P. Lettenmaier (July, 1984) 

      Gerald N. Day; Michael D. Hudlow; John C. Schaake, Jr. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
    • Erratum: “Estimating O&M Cost When Costs Vary With Flow” by Thomas M. Walski (July, 1984) 

      Unknown author (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
    • Development Impacts on Water Quality: A Case Study 

      Tavit O. Najarian; Thomas T. Griffin; Vajira K. Gunawardana (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)
      The modified STORM is applied to analyze water quality impacts of a proposed large‐scale planned residential development in a New Jersey coastal community. Model adaptation to the area of interest is based on site‐specific ...
    • Development of a Habitat Time Series 

      Robert T. Milhous (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)
      A physical habitat versus streamflow function can be treated as a surrogate for an economic production function. Using the function and a time series of streamflows, a time series of physical habitats can be generated. ...
    • Planning Detention Storage for Stormwater Management 

      Vasudevan G. Loganathan; Jacques W. Deniur; Rafael I. Segarra (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      A method for estimating detention storage capacity in stormwater management is presented. A generalized storage‐overflow relationship is derived. This relationship defines real available storage (empty space in detention ...
    • Development of a Flood Management Plan 

      Duncan W. Wqod; Thomas C. Gooch; Paul M. Pronovost; David C. Noonan (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      A comprehensive flood plain management plan was developed for the City of Keene, New Hampshire, reflecting the policies of Section 73 of Public Law 93‐251. Community attitudes were investigated through questionnaires, ...
    • Optimization of Water Quality Monitoring Networks 

      Richard N. Palmer; Mary C. MacKenzie (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      Water quality and biological monitoring provide an indication of the degree to which the natural environment has been affected by anthropogenic‐activities. Currently, this monitoring is both expensive and time‐consuming. ...
    • Multi‐Objective Analysis with Subjective Information 

      Richard N. Palmer; Jay R. Lund (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      A method is presented for incorporating subjective information into multi‐objective evaluations. The method is based upon an eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis and structures multi‐objective evaluations into a series of ...
    • Lower Mississippi Valley Floods of 1982 and 1983 

      William E. Read; Michael C. Robinson (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      The 1982–83 floods on the main stem and tributaries of the Middle and Lower Mississippi River spanned a six‐month period from December, 1982–June, 1983. The flood season was initially marked by three tributary‐centered ...
    • Application of Extreme Value Theory to Flood Damage 

      Pierre Ouellette; Nassir El‐Jabi; Jean Rousselle (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      Flood plain management requires assessment of the costs and benefits of all projects under consideration. The benefits translate mainly into flood damage reduction. This study presents a methodology for estimating flood ...
    • A Simulating Cost and Quality in Water Distribution 

      Robert M. Clark; Richard M. Males (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      A spatial approach that disaggregates the water supply system into the components of acquisition‐treatment and transmission‐distribution, allows these components to be studied in isolation and in combination. Each of these ...
    • Problems with Modeling Real‐Time Reservoir Operations 

      Emre K. Can; Mark H. Houck (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      Existence of several problems associated with the optimization of real‐time operations of reservoir systems is demonstrated. The first problem presented is due to the use of imperfect streamflow (inflow to the reservoir) ...
    • Grouno‐Water Reservoir Operation for Drought Management 

      Ram S. Gupta; Alvin S. Goodman (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
