Random Differential Equations In Water Quality Modeling, Brad A. Finney, David S. Bowles, Michael P. Windham
Random Differential Equations In Water Quality Modeling, Brad A. Finney, David S. Bowles, Michael P. Windham
Reports
A probabilistic river water quality model is developed with the capability of determinging the joint and marginal probability density function of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) at any point in a river. The one dimensional steady-state model can be applied to a river system with any reasonable number of point loads and diversions and lateral surface and subsurface inflow. The model can simultaneously consider randomness in the intital conditions, inputs, and coefficients of the water quality equations. Any empirical or known distribution can be used for the initial condition. The randomness in the water quality equation inputs …
Estimation Of Water Surface Elevation Probabilities And Associated Damages For The Great Salt Lake, L. Douglas James, David S. Bowles, W. Robert James, Ronald V. Canfield
Estimation Of Water Surface Elevation Probabilities And Associated Damages For The Great Salt Lake, L. Douglas James, David S. Bowles, W. Robert James, Ronald V. Canfield
Reports
Rising water surface elevations in perennial terminal lakes threaten major damages to shoreline industrial plants, transportation routs, and wetlands. Falling elevations increase pumping costs for industries extracting minerals from the lake water and reduce the quality of shoreline recreation. The managers of these properties need information on future lake level probabilities for planning, and public agencies need information on both probabilities and damages to determine whether lake level control is justified. Standard methods for estimating flood frequency and damages in riverine areas do not work well for terminal lakes because of the interdependency in annual peaks and the long advanced …
Historical And Projected Municipal And Industrial Water Usage In Utah 1960-2020, Roger D. Hansen, Herbert H. Fullterton, A. Bruce Bishop, Trevor C. Hughes, Ronald Christensen, Davis S. Bowles, Kyle Matteson, Hershel G. Hester Iii, Ronald Mead, Randy Simmons
Historical And Projected Municipal And Industrial Water Usage In Utah 1960-2020, Roger D. Hansen, Herbert H. Fullterton, A. Bruce Bishop, Trevor C. Hughes, Ronald Christensen, Davis S. Bowles, Kyle Matteson, Hershel G. Hester Iii, Ronald Mead, Randy Simmons
Reports
This publication reports the results of a municipal and industrial water use inventory. Data reported covers the period 1960 through 1976. Time series information is aggregated from municipal and industrial system level to country and state totals. Total municipal and industrial withdrawals are divided between surface and groundwater sources. Yearly per capital withdrawal rates are estimated for 50 Utah municipalities and for each of Utah’s 29 counties. Per capita withdrawal rates range from a high of over 400 gallons per capita per day (gcd) in the communities of Delta, Fillmore, Hyrum, Logan, and Morgan to a low of 100 gcd …
A Mathematical Hydrodynamic Circulation Model Of Great Salt Lake For Resource Management, Gary Z. Watters, Charles T. Kincaid
A Mathematical Hydrodynamic Circulation Model Of Great Salt Lake For Resource Management, Gary Z. Watters, Charles T. Kincaid
Reports
In the Great Basin region of this country, the resource which has always been of great importance is water. In Utah, the proper management of the resources of Great Salt Lake and the watersheds tributary to it, has become a topic of increasing concern. Recently, much emphasis has been placed on developing the recreational and industrial resources of Great Salt Lake. For optimum economic and social benefits from future development plans, the lake and its tributary watersheds need to be considered in terms of a single entity. In this regard, the Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL) has conducted several studies …

Reports
A new procedure for the detection of viral antigens in fecal material was developed. The test is performed by first diluting a fecal sample with phosphate buffered saline to give a liquid consistency. The pH is then adjusted to 8.5-9.0 and the solids are allowed to settle for five minutes. Supernatant fluid from above the fecal sediment is placed on the upper surface of a well of an inverted Immulon microtiter plate and incubated for one hour at 37 degrees C to allow virus to adsorb to the plastic. The Immulon plate is then washed three times with a Tween …
Integrating Water Resources And Land Use Planning, Jim Mulder, Kirk R. Kimball, Dean T. Larson, L. Douglas James, Lance R. Rovig, Dave Labau, Ken Sizemore
Integrating Water Resources And Land Use Planning, Jim Mulder, Kirk R. Kimball, Dean T. Larson, L. Douglas James, Lance R. Rovig, Dave Labau, Ken Sizemore
Reports
Information and recommendations were developed pertaining to the integrating of water resource and land use planning at a conceptual level. In the accomplishment of this goal, the report acts as a vehicle of information transfer to facilitate recognition of the interrelationships between land use and winter resources planning by practitioners in both areas. The approach that was used includes six basic components: 1) the clarification of current planning theory as it pertains to both water and land use planning, 2) analysis and review of historical and current land use planning practices, 3) review of historical and current land use planning …
