Description
Equilibrium of alluvial streams has been thoroughly studied in the past century. Many investigators have extended analysis to explain meandering (or braiding) of streams, and attempted to describe the hydraulic geometry of alluvial streams. This study points at the derivation of the characteristics of alluvial streams from fundamental principles. More precisely, this research aims to determine the downstream geometry of alluvial streams (channel width,...

Description
Soil erosion by rainfall is one of the major sources of sediments transported into streams. The physical processes governing rainfall erosion are very complex and no generally accepted sediment transport equation has been developed so far. Various approaches have been used in the past decades to analyze sediment transport by overland flow.

Description
This project was initiated July 1, 1964, to study the feasibility of recharging excess or flood waters to an unconfined aquifer. The study included the selection of a site; design, construction, and maintenance of structures; data collection, analysis, and economic evaluation of artificial recharge.

Description
Accurate, quantitative analysis of ecosystems is dependent on the quality of data used to describe the environment. Data quality is a major concern for the Multi-resource Management Planning Research Project, referred to as the Beaver Creek Project, administered by the Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station. The goals of the Beaver Creek Project are centered on development and testing of methodologies for management decision making in...

Description
The objective of the research program is to develop design parameters of systems for thermal/mechanical conversion of solar energy to electric power at minimum cost per kilowatt-hour generated. Systems of 3MW to 300MW sizes in a public utility network are considered. Parametric performance and cost models are derived for key elements of the system. A sequential optimization program was developed using these models to determine optimum subsystem sets...
