Modeling Phytoplankton Blooms In A Stratified Embayment, William J. Grenney Jan 1975

Modeling Phytoplankton Blooms In A Stratified Embayment, William J. Grenney

Reports

A mathematical model was developed to simulate the nitrogen limited growth dynamics of phytoplankton in a stratefied embayment. The representation of biological growth dynamics includes consideration of intracellular nutrient storage as well as the effects of temperature and light intensity. Several competing species can be represented simultaneously. Model hydrodynamics represent the effects of vertical mixing in the water column on the physical distribution of nutrients and phytoplankton. Sinking velocities of the cells are also included. The model was applied to Auke Bay, Alaska, and model responses are compared to data observed during the spring and summer of 1967.

Impacts Of Energy Development On Utah Water Resources, Barry C. Saunders Jan 1975

Impacts Of Energy Development On Utah Water Resources, Barry C. Saunders

Reports

Introduction: Choosing a theme for a conference especially one for a group of diverse disciplines such as the American Water Resources Association encompasses, is always a challenge. you find yourself torn between thigns you'd really like to talk and hear about, and topics you think will draw attendance. It was most fortunate when somebody came up with the idea of Water for Energy, becasue to my way of thinking, it met both of these ends. There is no denying that starting in late 1973, energy has been the catchword, and the energy crisis has been the bandwagon to leap upon. …

Urban Storm Runoff Inlet Hydrograph Study Volume 4; Synthetic Storms For Design Of Urban Highway Drainage Facilities., Cheng-Lung Chen Jan 1975

Urban Storm Runoff Inlet Hydrograph Study Volume 4; Synthetic Storms For Design Of Urban Highway Drainage Facilities., Cheng-Lung Chen

Reports

The main objective of this study is to develop an accurate design method for computing inlet hydrographs of surface runoff, with average recurrence intervals of 10, 25, and 50 years, from typical urban highway by flood routing technique. Knowledge of the time distribution of rainfall in heavy storms constitutes a basis for the design of an urban storm sewer system. A unified time-coordinate system and the rainfall intensity-duration-frequency relationships are used to develop the generalized synthetic (design) hyetograph equations for all types of storms. The hyetograph equations are further normalized for identifying the dimensionless parameters that play predominant roles in …

A Water-Land Use Management Model For The Sevier River Basin, V. A. Narasimhan, Eugene K. Israelsen Jan 1975

A Water-Land Use Management Model For The Sevier River Basin, V. A. Narasimhan, Eugene K. Israelsen

Reports

A hydrologic model for the Sevier River Basin above Sevier Bridge Reservoir was developed. The model considers large space increments on a monthly time increment. Additional data would improve the reliability of the model developed for some subbasins. A daily hydrologic model was also calibrated to the Circle Valley Subbasin. Data requirements for a daily model using small space increments seems to negate the possibility of the micro-model, for the present at least.

Nutrient Dynamics And Gas Production In Aquatic Ecosystems: The Effects And Utilization Of Mercury And Nitrogen In Sediment-Water Microcosms, D. B. Porcella, V. D. Adams, P. A. Cowan, S. Austrheim-Smith, W F. Holmes, J. Hill Iv, W. J. Grenney, E. J. Middlebrooks Jan 1975

Nutrient Dynamics And Gas Production In Aquatic Ecosystems: The Effects And Utilization Of Mercury And Nitrogen In Sediment-Water Microcosms, D. B. Porcella, V. D. Adams, P. A. Cowan, S. Austrheim-Smith, W F. Holmes, J. Hill Iv, W. J. Grenney, E. J. Middlebrooks

Reports

Sixteen sediment-water microcosms designed to allow complete gas, liquid, and solid mass balances of gases, nutrients, and mercury were studies under dark conditions or varying light intensity for a period of 189 days. Results indicated that the microcosm technique is a very sensitive method of analyzing microbial dynamics in sediment water systems. Gas quantity and composition changes were easy to monitor and were especially sensitive to light and nutrient variations. Nitrogen fixation occurred in all lighted systems (blue-green algae nitrogen fixers, Anabaena, and others) and was adequate to insure that no nitrogen limitation occurred even though nitrogen limitation was imposed …

Optimization Of Water Allocation, Wastewater Treatment, And Reuse Considering Nonlinear Costs, Seasonal Variations, And Stochastic Supplies, A. Bruce Bishop, Rangesan Narayanan, Suravuth Pratishthananda, Stanley L. Klemetson, William J. Grenney

Reports

Two significant, interrelated water resources problems are: (1) efficiently salvaging and reusing effluent water in order to augment limited water supplies; and (2) economically managing and treating wastewater to meet water quality standards. Using systems engineering and operations research techniques, the report focuses on the optimal management and use of water of impaired quality in a water resources system, including utilization or irrigation return flows and other poor quality water, water quantity and quality management systems, and wastewater reclamation opportunities. The study develops a mathematical programming transportation or transshipment model formulated for the Lower Jordan River Basin in Utah. The …

Process Studies And Modeling Of Self-Cleaning Capacity Of Mountain Creeks For Recreation Planning And Management, Cheng-Lung Chen, Keith D. Davis Jan 1975

Process Studies And Modeling Of Self-Cleaning Capacity Of Mountain Creeks For Recreation Planning And Management, Cheng-Lung Chen, Keith D. Davis

Reports

Reaeration process studies were conducted on a mountain creek and a large laboratory flume. The method of evaluating the dispersion coefficient, mean velocity, and reaeration coefficient for both creek and flume consisted of finding these values for a deoxygenated portion of the flow containing a conservative tracer (dye). The deoxygenated slug is measured as it moved downstream and the three values are best fit in the analytical solution of the longitudinal dispersion equation which dynamically describes the flow of the dispersing slug in the stream. The best fit was accomplished by using the method of least squares of the differences …

Urban Storm Runoff Inlet Hydrograph Study, Volume 5, Soil-Cover-Moisture Complex: Analysis Of Parametric Infiltration Models For Highway Sideslopes, Cheng-Lung Chen

Reports

The main objective of this study is to develop an accurate design method for computing inlet hydrographs of surface runoff, with average recurrence intervals of 10, 25, and 50 years, from typical urban highway by flood routing technique. The boundary-value problem of one-dimensional infiltration resulting from rainfall is formulated and solved numerically on a digital computer. The numerical solutions of this idealized mathematical model is used as a basic testing tool in the subsequent analysis of various parametric infiltration models including the Green-Ampt, Kostiakov, Philip, Horton, and Holtan equations. The time of ponding is shown to be the most important …

A Field Technique Measuring Virus Decay And Potential Aerosol Hazard From Wastewater Sprinkler Irrigation, Michael F. Torpy, Robert A. Gearheart, J. Clifton Spendlove, Rex S. Spendlove Jan 1975

A Field Technique Measuring Virus Decay And Potential Aerosol Hazard From Wastewater Sprinkler Irrigation, Michael F. Torpy, Robert A. Gearheart, J. Clifton Spendlove, Rex S. Spendlove

Reports

The increased use of domestic wastewater for irrigation purposes has stimulated a growing practice of sprinkler irrigating from oxidation ponds and other domestic wastewaters. Aerosols generated from these sprinkler irrigation systems may contain potentially hazardous pathogens. Subsequently, the aerosols can contain infective viruses which can be carried through the air to surrounding populations. Thus, a public health hazard can be created by sprinkler irrigating domestic wastewater. This study is an investigation of a means by which the virus decay rate of viruses in aerosols and the potentials hazard of sprinkler irrigation aerosol clouds may be examined. A means of injection …
