Numerical Model of Flow in a Stream - Aquifer System
Published:
November 5, 1974U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
A three-dimensional, finite difference model was developed for simulating steady and unsteady, saturated and unsaturated flow in a stream-aquifer system. The basis of the model is the finite difference form of Richard's equation for unsaturated and saturated subsurface flow. Effects of stream...Read more

Published:
January 1, 1976U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
Inadequate water is the primary constraint of agricultural production in a large portion of the developing countries. The technology for using available water supplies most efficiently is either lacking or not adapted to the available resources, in many of these countries.Read more

Published:
January 1, 1979U.S. Agency for International Development
Presents a study of the variables in waste quality as they affect the survival, reproduction, growth, production, or management of fish. An attempt is made to define 'good' water quality. Information is presented which will be of help in: determining the potential of a body of water for...Read more

United States, North AmericaA Derived Flood Frequency Distribution Based on the Density Function of Rainfall Excess
Published:
July 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development
The geomorphoclimatic theory is used, along with the joint probability density function of storm duration and storm intensity and the representation of the infiltration process, to derive the flood frequency distribution for a given catchment. The infiltration process is represented by two...Read more

Published:
July 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development
Methodologies relating river response to basin geomorphology are useful in the estimation of hydrologic behavior in regions with sparse or no data. This study describes research of potential value in traditional hydraulic routing applications. In it the infiltration losses along the streams of a...Read more
