      Wilbert O. Thomas, Jr. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      In 1967 the U.S. Water Resources Council (WRC) published Bulletin 15 recommending that a uniform technique be used by all Federal agencies in estimating floodflow frequencies for gaged watersheds. This uniform technique ...

    • Water Resources Engineering Education 

      William R. Walker; Phyllis G. Bridgeman (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      Water resources engineering education may hinder the development of practitioners who must be not only technically proficient, but also capable of managing engineering problems in a social, political, and economic context. ...

    • Optimal Operation of California Aqueduct 

      M. Hossein Sabet; James Q. Coe; Henry M. Ramirez; David T. Ford (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      The goals and objectives of operation of the California State Water Project (SWP) changed significantly on March 31, 1983, when long‐term, lowcost contractual agreements for energy purchase for the Project terminated. Now ...

    • Exporting Colorado Water in Coal Slurry Pipelines 

      Dean T. Massey (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      The San Marco Pipeline Company has proposed a 1,000‐mile (1,610‐km) pipeline system to move coal slurry from southeastern Colorado to several electrical generating plants in the Texas Gulf Coast area. This area of Colorado ...

    • Capacity Expansion of Sao Paulo Water Supply 

      Benedito P. F. Braga, Jr.; Joao G. L. Conejo; Leonard Becker; William W.‐G. Yeh (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      A capacity expansion model has been developed to facilitate the planning and the optimal timing and sizing of the proposed Juquia River system in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The proposed system consists of the construction of a ...

    • Impact of Conservation on Rates and Operating Costs 

      Nishith R. Bhatt; Charles A. Cole (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      The potential impact of 20% reduction in water usage through water conservation is investigated for a small investor owned utility serving the rural residential community of Stewartstown Borough, Pennsylvania. The analysis ...

    • Satisfying Instream Flow Needs Under Western Water Rights 

      Jay M. Bagiey; Dean T. Larson; Lee Kapaloski (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      The appropriation system of water rights has been criticized for failure to provide adequate protection of instream flow values. The appropriation system is measured against 13 fundamental principles of good state water ...

    • Water Quality and Regional Water Supply Planning 

      Alan J. Lauwaert (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      A method for sizing a flow‐way to remove phosphorus from surplus rainfall runoff is presented. The flow‐way area would consist of a seasonal wetland community wherein the plants take up the nutrient. The paper presents the ...

    • Extended Streamflow Forecasting Using NWSRFS 

      Gerald N. Day (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      Extended forecasting using the National Weather Service River Forecast System (NWSRFS) is done with the NWS Extended Streamflow Prediction (ESP) program. This paper examines the theory, capabilities, and potential applications ...

    • Irrigation System Study in International Basin 

      M. C. Chaturvedi; U. C. Chaube (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      Before taking up a comprehensive study of regional irrigation development, it is necessary to identify and understand the technological options, the physical process and the allocation of water resources to pertinent ...

    • Research Agenda for Floods to Solve Policy Failure 

      Stanley A. Changnon, Jr. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
      For the first 60 yr of the 20th Century, the U.S. policy regarding floods was aimed at flood control. In the past 15 yr, policy has shifted to a goal of flood hazard mitigation. However, flood losses continue to rise and ...

    • Minimum Flow Protection in Riparian States 

      W. Douglass Dixon; William E. Cox (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)
