Water Quality Telemetry, Final Progress Report, Duard S. Woffinden, Allen D. Kartchner
Reports
Water quality standards are now part of the legal code set up to control water pollution. In order to ascertain that these standards are being met, it is mandatory to monitor any river system over which control must be maintained. For optimum, usefulness, data on the monitored variables should be available on a real time basis at any time throughout the 24-hour day. Remote sampling stations and a telemetry link represent the most practical means of accomplishing this end. A water quality monitoring system utilizing radio telemetry has been developed at the Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL). The system consists …

Simulation Of The Hydrologic-Economic Flow System In An Agricultural Area, Murland R. Packer, J. Paul Riley, Harold H. Hiskey, Eugene K. Israelsen
Reports
Like the allocation of water resources among water users, the distribution of allocated water to the subusers requires an estimate of the economic costs and benefits from a number of distribution alternatives. The most satisfactory solution maximizes the benefit cost ratio. This study is based on the premise that equitable water distribution to agricultural subusers can be more easily accomplished through the use of a technique to predict the marginal value of agricultural water. A hydro-economic model is formulated to distribute the water supply to the crops and to determine the unit value of water for the given supply. By …
Analog Computer Solution Of The Unsteady Flow Equations And Its Use In Modeling The Surface Runoff Process, Utah Water Research Laboratory
Analog Computer Solution Of The Unsteady Flow Equations And Its Use In Modeling The Surface Runoff Process, Utah Water Research Laboratory
Reports
The flow of water on a watershed is usually unsteady and spatially varied, but can be adequately portrayed by the equations of momentum and continuity, commonly referred to as the unsteady flow equations. Because these equations are quasi-linear, hyperbolic, partial differential equations, they are not easily amenable to solution. Analog computer model~ of surface runoff generally have been based on simplified forms of these equations. As an improvement of those models, an analog computer solution is presented here for the unsteady flow equations. The solution involves the conversion of the partial differential equations in to a differential-difference system, and a …

Snowmelt Simulation, J. Paul Riley, Duane G. Chadwick, Keith O. Eggleston
Reports
The rapid growth in recent years of a variety of demands upon available water resources has lead to an increasing interest in more fundamental approaches to the science of hydrology. Accompanying this growth has been a need for an increased understanding of the snowmelt process. A completely adequate description of the entire physical process of snowmelt under all conditions is not yet available. The complex interrelated and variable nature of the snowmelt processes that occur simultaneously complicate the problem. A preliminary mathematical model of the snowmelt process has been developed in which processes such as pack settlement rates and energy …

Cutthroat Flow Measuring Flumes For Flat Gradient Channels, Gaylord V. V. Skogerboe
Reports
The cutthroat flume can operate either as a free or submerged flow structure. Submerged flow calibration curves and free flow equations have been developed. Rectangular cutthroat flume sizes of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 feet were studied and tested in the laboratory. Trapezoidal cutthroat flumes having zero (or V-shaped), 6-inch, and 12-inch throat widths were calibrated. The value of transition submergence is listed for each of the rectangular and trapezoidal cutthroat flumes. The most obvious advantage of a cutthroat flume is economy, since fabrication is facilitated by a flat bottom and removal of the throat section. Another advantage is …

Economic Analysis Of Alternative Flood Control Measures, L. Douglas James, Thomas M. Rachford, James Ray Villines, Clyde R. Dempsey, James Norris Cline, Carlos Fix Miller
KWRRI Research Reports
Within the last few years, the growing realization that an effective flood control program must include non-structural measures (land use management and flood proofing) has resulted in Presidential Executive Order 11296 requiring Federal agencies to seek the optimum combination of structural and non-structural measures for flood control. The requirement has created a dilemma. No methodology is available for systematic evaluation of alternative combinations of structural and non-structural measures. Prospective procedures are too time consuming to be feasible under current financial and manpower limitations.
The only way out is to perform much of the planning process by digital computer. With this …

Evaluation Of The Legal Institutions Of Diversion, Transfer, Storage, And Distribution Of Water In Kentucky, A. Dan Tarlock
KWRRI Research Reports
In 1966 Kentucky enacted a water use regulation statute which makes :important modifications in the common law doctrine of riparian rights by authorizing the state to grant permits for the use of water. The permit system is primarily designed to allow the state to gather the information necessary to conduct long range planning studies. However, the permit system can also be used to apportion water among competing users. The report examined the common law of riparian rights to determine how KRS Ch. 151 had modified it and analyzed some of the legal problems which could arise in the administration of …
Evaluation Of Runoff Coefficients From Small Natural Drainage Areas, Carlos Fix Miller, L. Douglas James
Evaluation Of Runoff Coefficients From Small Natural Drainage Areas, Carlos Fix Miller, L. Douglas James
KWRRI Research Reports
The Kentucky Department of Highways, as do most other agencies which build small drainage structures, estimates flood peaks as the product of a runoff coefficient, a rainfall intensity, and the drainage area, Available procedures were applied to 39 gaged watersheds in and near Kentucky and compared with the results of frequency analysis of historical stream gage records. The methods consistently underestimated the flood peak.
Therefore, a more intensive study (using the Stanford Watershed Model) of the runoff coefficient was undertaken by dividing it into overland flow and streamflow components. A set of curves was developed based on the 50-year event …

The Effects Of Geographical And Climatic Setting On The Economic Advantages Of Alternative Flood Control Measures, Clyde R. Dempsey, L. Douglas James
KWRRI Research Reports
It has long been realized that tributary urban development and channel improvement greatly affect the flow regime in a given watershed. A previous study used the Stanford Watershed Model to derive relationships expressing how the flood peaks in Sacramento, California, might be expected to vary with changing conditions of urbanization, channelization, and tributary drainage area. In order to observe the effects of climatic setting and geographical location on these relationships, the same type of analysis was applied to a drainage area near Louisville, Kentucky.
If reservoir storage is to be considered in a flood control program, it is necessary to …

The Ord River Regeneration Project. 3. Eight Years Of Progress, K Fitzgerald
The Ord River Regeneration Project. 3. Eight Years Of Progress, K Fitzgerald
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
REGENERATION of degraded areas in regions of marginal rainfall is a slow process under the best of conditions, but on the Ord River Catchment, where much top-soil had been removed, the problem was unusually severe.
In many areas top-soil will have to be rebuilt before vegetation can be re-established.
This will be a long, slow process and regeneration will proceed through gradual plant succession from the "pioneer" annual species through to the permanent and more productive perennial species needed for a stable catchment area.
