Energy Management Degree Specialization at Texas A&M University
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1984-04)
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M offers unique degree programs with a specialization in energy management. The most popular of the degree offered is a professional degree, the Master of Engineering, ...
New Irrigation System Design for Maximizing Irrigation Efficiency and Increasing Rainfall Utilization
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-05)
A new concept in irrigation system design, which has the potential of significant savings in both water and energy requirements, has been developed and is under evaluation. The system is characterized by and has been labeled ...
Single Location Doublet Well to Reduce Salt-Water Encroachment: Phase I-Numerical Simulation
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-09)
C. E. Jacob received patents in 1965 for a single location well doublet that would produce fresh water overlying salt-water without upconing of the heavier salt-water and pollution of the fresh water zone. No known evaluation ...
Impact of Alternative Energy Prices, Tenure Arrangements and Irrigation Technologies on a Typical Texas High Plains Farm
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-05)
Irrigation is a major contributing factor in crop production on the Texas High Plains. It is responsible for greatly increasing crop production and farm income for the region. Two factors, a declining groundwater supply ...
Automation of Pivot Sprinkler Irrigation Systems to More Efficiently Utilize Rainfall and Irrigation Water
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)
A study was conducted to develop automated pivot sprinkler irrigation systems and determine if such systems use less water and energy than manually operated systems. The study was conducted near Earth, Texas, using irrigation ...
Evaluation of the Impact of Texas Lignite Development on Texas Water Resources
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-07)
Fuel shortages and resultant rising fuel costs as well as federal policies prompting energy independence have served to encourage power companies to exploit available lignite deposits of the western states as a viable fuel ...
Economically Optimum Agricultural Utilization of a Reclaimed Water Resource in the Texas Rolling Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-09)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has proposed a project that would reduce the flow from saline springs and seeps within the groundwater alluvium of the Red River Basin. While the amount of salts moving through the ...
Heat Transport in Groundwater Systems--Finite Element Model
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)
Solar energy is a promising alternate energy source for space heating. A method of economic long term solar energy storage is needed. Researchers have proposed storing solar energy by injecting hot water heated using solar ...
Optimal Use of Groundwater and Surface Water to Reduce Land Subsidence
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)
Heat Transport in Groundwater Systems--Laboratory Model
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)
Solar energy is a possible alternate energy source for space heating. A method of economic long term solar energy storage is needed. Researchers have proposed storing solar energy by heating water using solar collectors ...
