Flood Warning Systems are not a new commodity to the hydrologic world, however, the advancements in GIS data, hydrologic modeling tools, NEXRAD, and internet capabilities have allowed for improvements in flood prediction. ...

A methodology to determine risk as a function of time varying concentration was developed and applied to three leaking underground storage tank sites for five remediation scenarios, to demonstrate the risk reduction ...

The primary objective of this project was to develop hydrologic and hydraulic models for the floodplain analysis for Brownsville, Texas and analyze mitigation alternatives within a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and ...

Biodegradation, the transformation of organic matter using microorganisms, is a promising technology for ground water cleanup. The research presented in this dissertation is aimed at developing numerical techniques for ...

Ethanol is playing a key role in current discussions on energy, agriculture, taxes and the environment. This work addresses the potential environmental impacts and behavior of subsurface fuel-ethanol releases. A continuous-flow ...

This study uses a distributed hydrologic model to assess the impact of wetland loss on flood peaks. There is large agreement among hydrologists that wetlands have significant flood-mitigation potential. However, the lack ...

The availability of high-resolution LIDAR and GIS data combined with the onset of more powerful computers has made the use of distributed parameter hydrologic models more feasible. This study employs one such model, Vflo(TM), ...

The design and performance of soil vapor extraction (SVE) systems can be evaluated using mathematical models. A lack of knowledge in how to select the appropriate model and use it properly for field settings are major ...

The present research employs remote sensing data and advanced hydrologic modeling to improve the spatial representation of an urban watershed, Whiteoak watershed, located northwest of downtown Houston, TX. During the last ...

This study evaluates a 1D and a 2D method for analyzing the combined effect of inland rainfall and hurricane-induced storm surge on a coastal floodplain. Horsepen Bayou near Clear Lake, southeast of Houston, Texas is ...
