In the design of water networks ‘peaking factors’ are used for simulating design flows in hydraulic models. In simple terms, the dimensionless peaking factor is maximum over average consumption. Historically, utilities adopted standardized peaking factors based on their source data (treatment plant etc.) which was the most reliable source of data. But as we enter the world of big ...
Client: Grand River Conservation Authority, 400 Clyde Road, Cambridge Ontario Contact: Stephanie Shifflett, M.Sc., P. Eng.; Water Resources Engineer Key Personnel: E.J. Wexler, S. Malott, D. Kassenaar The Whitemans Creek subwatershed is located in southwestern Ontario immediately south of the Region of Waterloo (left). ...
by Venu Kandiah, PhD, P.E. Senior Water Resources Engineer The effort required to develop water resources engineering models can be significant. ...

The effort required to develop water resources engineering models can be significant. But once developed, in many instances the models are only evaluated for a limited, or a single set of conditions. ...

Prediction of scour depth has an important role in control structure management and water resource engineering issues, so a study of new heuristic expressions governing it is necessary. ...
Climate variability has always posed important challenges to water resources planners and engineers. Recent hydrologic data from different parts of the world show that the use of traditional stationary series statistical methods to assess risk and uncertainty may not produce reliable estimates. ...
For instance, in Sauce Lake in Uruguay, an important lake that supply water to the touristic area of Maldonado, experienced a cyanobacteria bloom that deteriorated considerably the water quality of the lake. This forced the water company to exempt users from payment representing a direct loss of US $4 million. ...
Five performance evaluations related criterion, namely, participation and cooperation, effective water availability, conjunctive use, economic status and agricultural education are assessed subjectively using linguistic ratings. ...
Hydrology is the science that deals with the processes governing the depletion and replenishment of water resources of the earth's land areas. The purpose of this book is to put together recent developments on hydrology and water resources engineering. First section covers surface water modeling ...
Evaporation is a major component of the hydrological cycle. It is an important aspect of water resource engineering and management, and in estimating the water budget of irrigation schemes. ...
This short forum suggest that engineering practitioners, asked about what they expect out of a fresh engineer immediately after their graduation in terms of on-job skills and technical training, prefer that an engineer be able to hit the road and run without too much on-job training. It suggests that engineering undergraduate ...
Numerous hydrologic/water quality models of run-off and soil erosion have been coupled to Geographical Information System (GIS) to determine Non-Point Source (NPS) pollutants from watersheds. Hydrology and water-resource engineering rely on observations of environmental conditions and the accuracy of environmental data. ...
A bibliometric analysis based on the Science Citation Index was carried out on biosorption technology-related publications during the time span of 1991 to 2004 in water treatment research in the ISI subject categories of environmental engineering, environmental sciences, and water resources. ...
The mountain location and resort footprint contributed to a lack of available suitable land for a new disposal field sized according to regional guidelines. The engineering firm working with the resort, Kresin Engineering Corporation, was tasked with identifying a solution that would allow them to utilize the same location as the original on-site sewage system. ...
