Modeling Reallocation of Reservoir Storage Capacity Between Flood Control and Conservation Purposes Kim, Tae Jin (2010-07-14)Interest in converting portions of the large volumes of flood control storage capacity in federal multiple-purpose reservoirs in Texas and elsewhere to water supply and other conservation purposes has been growing for some ...
-
Blake, John K (2016-12-12)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the pedostructure soil concept to determine the available water within soil. Specifically, the hydro-structural behavior of the soil in the pedostructure is compared to ...
