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 ...
-
Ferreira, Celso (2012-10-19)Coastal storm surges from hurricanes are one of the most costly natural disasters in the United States (US). Current research arguably indicates a mean sea-level (MSL) increase due to global warming, as well as an increase ...
-
Duan, Jiaming (2020-07-22)The expansion of the urban area and agriculture field in the past centuries converted many natural prairies to crop fields and residence places, which brought many problems that influenced the interactions between biosphere ...
-
Rajsekhar, Deepthi (2014-12-02)Drought is a deficiency in the hydro climatic variable of interest that is experienced for an extended period of time. In many parts of the world, it is a normal, recurring feature of climate and is therefore inevitable. ...
-
Chun, Gunil (2018-10-17)Population and economic growth have contributed to increasing water uses while available water resources are limited. Recently, the occurrence and damage of drought are increasing worldwide due to the impact of climate ...
-
Han, Sang-Ok (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This study developed a parameterization method to investigate the impacts of inhomogeneous land surfaces on mesoscale model simulations using a high-resolution 1-d PBL model. Then, the 1-d PBL model was used to investigate ...
-
Siddiqui, Muhammad Abdul Raheem (2017-07-15)The 2007 Senate Bill 3 (SB3) initiated the establishment of environmental flow standards and the incorporation of them in the Water Availability Modeling System (WAM) of Texas. This led to the creation of Water Rights ...
-
Cammarata, Juliana E (2015-12-12)The objective of this study is to determine whether exposing an asphaltic roadway to standing liquid water for a duration of twelve hours will cause sufficient moisture penetration to induce deterioration of the roadway. ...
-
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 ...
-
Chibber, Paramjit (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Time of concentration parameter is defined very loosely in literature and it is calculated rather subjectively in practice (Akan 1986). The situation becomes adverse as the terrain slope approaches zero; because the slope ...
-
Rammohan, Pavitra (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Stormwater runoff from highways can contain pollutants such as suspended solids, nitrogen and phosphorus, organic material, and heavy metals. Growing awareness leading to regulatory requirements reflects the need to protect ...
-
Garg, Gaurav (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Streamflow characteristics change over time as a result of water resources development and management projects, water use, watershed land use changes, and climate changes. The main objective of this thesis is to assess ...
-
Zhang, Jingqiu (2014-04-29)Natural attenuation is a cost effective method to treat wastewater applied into soil. The natural attenuation process includes diffusion, dispersion, microbial activity, oxidation, mineral precipitation, sorption, and ion ...
-
Tewari, Sanjay (2012-02-14)Carbon has been used electrochemically in various forms for water treatment and the carbon aerogel is one of them. Carbon Aerogels (CA) are used as electrodes due to their high surface capacity and high electrical conductivity. ...
-
Ha, Mi Ae (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This research evaluates and improves capabilities incorporated in the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) modeling system for tracking salt loads, particularly for applications dealing with natural salt pollution problems ...
-
Sukheswalla, Zubin Rohinton (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Prediction of flow is necessary for planning and management of water resources. The objective of this study is to estimate mean annual flows for the USA and mean monthly flows for the rivers of central Texas based on the ...
-
Fadel, Ziad Joseph (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Hydraulic conductivity fields (K) and degradation rate constants (a) are commonly used in predicting the fate and transport of reactive contaminants. The natural heterogeneity in aquifer porous materials and its effect on ...
-
Li, Chao (2013-04-30)One major acknowledged challenge in daily precipitation is the inability to model extreme events in the spectrum of events. These extreme events are rare but may cause large losses. How to realistically simulate extreme ...
-
Gou, Si (2014-05-30)Groundwater serves as one of the main and reliable water sources for human-being and groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs). GDEs are threatened by insufficient groundwater supply, due to increasing groundwater extraction ...
-
Santos Roman, Deborah Matilde (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The allocation of water resources is typically accomplished within the framework of water allocation systems (WAS). In general, a WAS sets priorities, applies rules, and organizes responses to a range of water allocation ...
