Data Automation for Water Supply Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The available daily water supply of a multi‐reservoir river system, the Upper Snake River in Idaho, is managed more efficiently using an automated system of data collection, transmission, and processing. Streamflow, ... -
Minnesota's Hazardous Waste Siting Criteria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The Minnesota Waste Management Board (WMB) is in the process of siting a hazardous waste land disposal facility, using regional and site‐specific criteria. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has the responsibility ... -
National Water‐Use Information Program
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The National Water‐Use Information Program is a cooperative program between the states and the Federal Government. The purpose of the program is to determine how much fresh and saline surface water and ground water is ... -
Water Allocation Conflicts on the Canadian Prairies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The conflicts between water demands for energy production and irrigation development on the Canadian prairies and the available supply are reviewed. The water requirements for energy production in the western provinces of ... -
Ground‐Water Management in Arizona
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Arizona, which has had a long history of ground water overdraft, has recently adopted a Ground Water Code that is designed to not only restrict and control withdrawals and uses of ground water, but also to reduce rates of ... -
Regional Versus Local Water Supply Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The Metropolitan Washington, D.C., area water supply study being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers presents an approach in planning for water supplies that can lead to regional management. The challenge, however, ... -
Automated Weather Data Network for Agriculture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A system has been developed in Nebraska to automatically collect hourly weather data from remote agricultural weather stations. Standard weather sensors are coupled to an on‐site microprocessor. A central minicomputer ... -
Ground Water and Federal Reserved Rights
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)There has been a great deal of concern in the Western States regarding the concept of federally reserved water rights. History has shown that the federal government has reserved rights to both surface and ground waters on ... -
Spacing of Wells for Heat Pumps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)An approach to selecting the spacing of wells for ground‐water heat pumps is developed. Breakthrough times for different well spacings are tabulated taking into account typical ground‐water velocities, well flow rates, and ... -
Regional Monthly Rainfall‐Runoff Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A simple regional model for basins with either linear or nonlinear monthly rainfall‐runoff behavior is presented. The structure of the model depends on two key parameters: (1) An order parameter -
Integrated Sizing of Water Storage and Conveyance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A methodology employing dynamic programming is presented for integrating the optimal design of water supply, treatment, and conveyance systems, where demands for water may vary over a year. The analysis begins with the ... -
Managing Water Quality by Mixing Water from Different Sources
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Water from sources even within a short distance can vary markedly in quality such as salt concentration. The variation may be so great that one is suitable and the other unusable. Processes for improving the quality of ... -
Features of Federal Law That Encourage Adoption of Land Application of Wastewater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Federal statutes and regulations and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and policies tend to aid and encourage land application of municipal wastewater effluents and sludges and make that method of treatment ... -
Optimal Operation of Multiple Reservoir Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The national interest in hydroelectric power generation has focused increased attention on the potential for greater energy production from existing and planned reservoir systems. A methodology is presented for determining ... -
Weather Station Siting and Consumptive Use Estimates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The environment of a weather station site is important in estimating consumptive use by irrigated crops. Consumptive use may be overestimated when air temperature and vapor pressure data from a weather station with an arid ... -
Multiobjective Approaches to River Basin Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The impact of alternative water development strategies upon an urbanized area in the semi‐arid Southwest is examined within a multiobjective context. The main stem of the Santa Cruz River Basin is taken as a case study. ... -
Economic Feasibility of Flood Control Improvements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Although severe flooding problems continue to occur throughout the nation, economic justification of flood control improvements is becoming increasingly more difficult. Reasons for the difficulties in formulating economically ... -
Strategic Planning for a National Waterways System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Risk and Uncertainty dictated the study design developed for the Congressionally mandated National Waterways Study (NWS). The need for the strategic planning concept adopted for the NWS is explained in terms of the current ...
