Economies of Size in Municipal Water-Treatment Technologies: A Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley Case Study
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2010-07)
As the U.S. population continues to increase, the priority on planning for future water quantity
and quality becomes more important. Historically, many municipalities have primarily relied
upon surface water as their ...
Description and Comparison of the Results of the Proposed House: Habitat for Humanity at Frazier Court, Dallas, Texas, with the 2004 IECC Standard Reference House
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-09)
The Energy Systems Laboratory was requested to calculate the emissions reductions associated
with the Habitat for Humanity Housing Project at Frazier Court, Dallas Texas. This report presents the
results of the required ...
Recommendations for 2009 IECC 15% Above Code Energy Efficiency Measures for Residential Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-11)
In the 79th Legislature (2005) the Energy Systems Laboratory was required to develop three alternative methods for achieving 15% above-code energy savings in new residential, commercial and industrial construction. The ...
A Study of Institutional Factors Affecting Water Resource Development in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-09)
Despite numerous studies of and plans for the use of land and water resources of the lower Rio Grande Valley for efficient agricultural production, development has lagged and the production potential has not been realized. ...
A Study of the Economic Impact of Water Impoundment Through Validity Testing of a Comparitive-Projection Model
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-08)
An established economic simulation model for reservoir development was applied to ten reservoir projects throughout Texas. The model as a predictor of economic impact was given a difficult test because of the diversity of ...
Investigation of a Linear Model to Describe Hydrologic Phenomenon of Drainage Basins
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-12)
This investigation is concerned with the applicability of the linear convolution relationship for approximating the rainfall-runoff phenomenon for small drainage basins. A solution for the transfer function of the convolution ...
Applications of Climatology and Meteorology to Hydrologic Simulation
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1971-06)
The normal, log-normal, square-root-normal, and cube-root-normal frequency distributions of hydrometeorological data, viz., precipitation, evaporation, and streamflow, were studied for selected regions of Texas. The regions ...
Application of Specialized Optimization Techniques in Water Quantity and Quality Management with Respect to Planning for the Trinity River Basi
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1970-07)
One of the major problems in the United States today involves controlling and limiting the pollution of the nation's water resources. The quality of water in streams, reservoirs and estuaries is continually being altered ...
Electrophoretic Clarification of Water
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1970-08)
There is an ever growing need for new and superior water treatment methods which will remove the alarming growth and variety of pollutants present in our waters. Suspended particulate matter such as clay, algae, and bacteria ...
Studies of Turbulence in Shallow Sediment Laden Flow With Superimposed Rainfall
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1968-01)
The structure of turbulence has been shown to affect the sediment carrying capability of streams. Due to the random nature of turbulence, sediment movement was analyzed as a stochastic process. Starting with the Langevin ...
