Faloon, Anna Elizabeth (2015-12-16)The engineering design discipline of hydrology and hydraulics has, for the past several decades, been largely based on probabilistic design techniques involving recurrence interval storm and flood events. The engineering ...
-
Yang, Mingyue (2016-12-09)As the demand for water resources has been increasing all around the world, intense water appropriation has led to alterations of flow regimes over time. Changes in environmental flows have impaired beneficial functions ...
-
Bastidas Pacheco, Camilo Jose (2018-01-17)Texas voters and the legislature have made water conservation an important requirement for cities. Landscape irrigation is the largest component of Texas single family residential (SFR) water use and is a prime subject ...
-
Verma, Vivek (2017-07-18)Observed and synthesized sequences of stream flow data are explored from the perspective of improving capabilities for disaggregating monthly naturalized flow volumes, representing natural undeveloped conditions, to daily ...
-
Singh, Abhishek (2016-12-15)Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is used for estimating Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) which, in turn, is used for design of major hydraulic structures, such as dams and spillways, flood protection works, and nuclear ...
-
Tillman, Dorothy Hamlin (2009-05-15)In recent years new ideas for nutrient management to control eutrophication in estuarine environments have been under consideration. One popular approach being considered in the Chesapeake Bay Program is called the “top ...
-
Ryu, Minkyu (2015-09-23)The objectives of the dissertation research are (1) to improve and expand capabilities for developing naturalized or otherwise homogenous river flows representing specified conditions of basin development for input to ...
-
Riebschleager, Kendra Jean (2009-05-15)According to the USEPA National Section 303(d) List Fact Sheet, bacterial pathogens are the leading cause of water quality impairments in Texas. The automated Spatially Explicit Load Enrichment Calculation Tool (SELECT) ...
-
Raina, Rajeev (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This study presents the development of a cell-based routing model. The model developed is a two parameter hydrological routing model that uses a coarse resolution stream network to route runoff from each cell in the watershed ...
-
Valenzuela Zapata, Milver Alfredo (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This project presents the development and design of a comprehensive interface coupled with a geodatabase (ArcGISwat 2003), for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a hydrologically distributed, lumped parameter ...
-
Ojo, Temitope O. (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The coupling of real-time measurements and numerical models will be important in overcoming the challenges in environmental and oceanographic assessments in surface waters. Continuous monitoring will take advantage of ...
-
Huang, Chi-Ying (2012-07-16)By 2006, the U.S. government has spent $15 billion to address the degradation of urban streams, including erosion of stream banks, disconnection of rivers from the floodplain, and disturbance of surface runoff pathways. ...
-
Cristancho, Camilo Andres (2017-07-17)The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has established environmental flow standards in seven river systems through a process defined by the Texas Legislature in its 2007 Senate Bill 3 (SB3). The environmental ...
-
Wurbs, Ralph; Kim, T. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-12)The Water Availability Modeling (WAM) System developed and maintained by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality includes the generalized Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) simulation model and WRAP input datasets ...
-
Rivera Ramirez, Hector David (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The main objective of this research is to devise a risk-based methodology for developing emergency operation schedules (EOS). EOS are decision tools that provide guidance to reservoir operators in charge of making real-time ...
-
Olmos Alejo, Hector Elias (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Water availability has been of great concern in the State of Texas and many other places worldwide. During 1997-2003, pursuant to the 1997 Senate Bill 1, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), its partner ...
-
Pauls, Mark (2014-03-18)As the remaining water resources in river basins around the world are appropriated for human uses, it is critical to protect environmental instream flows in order to preserve aquatic and riparian species and ecosystems. ...
-
Krishnamurthy, Ganesh (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)This research focused on expanding the capabilities of the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) for incorporating salinity considerations in assessments of water availability. A simulation modeling approach was used to ...
-
Koka, Srikanth (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This thesis presents the development of a hydrologic model in the vector environment. Establishing spatial relationship between flow elements is the key for flow routing techniques. Such a relationship is called hydrologic ...
