An integrated forecast-control system was designed to allow the profitable use of ensemble forecasts for the operational management of multi-purpose reservoirs. The system ingests large-scale climate model monthly precipitation through the adjustment of the marginal distribution of reservoir-catchment precipitation to reflect occurrence of monthly climate precipitation amounts in the extreme te...

Water transparency is a useful indicator of water quality or productivity and is widely used to detect long-term changes in the water quality and eutrophication of lake ecosystems. Based on short-term spatial observations in the spring, summer, and winter and on long-term site-specific observation from 1988 to 2013, the spatial, seasonal, long-term variations, and the factors affecting transpar...

~BSTRACT: A~ unsteady ~wo-dimens~onal (20) reservoir hydrodynamics and transport model is employed to slm~late contammate~ denSity cu~ents m the Shasta Reservoir after a chemical spill into the Sacramento River, Cahf. Three flow regimes (plungmg flow, underflow, and interflow) and their occurrence are captured by the laterally ~verag~d model. Transp~~ and mixing processes in the temperature-str...

This study assessed the economic impact of the potential reduction of timber supply to the local forest industry and the local economy from a proposed reservoir in Northeast Texas --Marvin Nichols I Reservoir. The study first evaluated the forested acres at the reservoir site and those under habitat mitigation requirements, providing a foundation for timber supply impact assessment. Then, the t...

The paper presents an application of a Stochastic Transfer Function (STF) approach and a State Dependent Parameter (SDP) transformation of model variables to the combined reservoir management and flow routing problem on the Upper Narew River, NE Poland. The management objective is to reach required flow conditions in the reaches of an ecologically valuable river. A 1-D distributed flow routing ...
