Computer Methods In Water Resources Ii Groundwater Modelling And Pressure Flow

The book contains sections of the edited Proceedings of the Second International Conference in Computer Methods and Water Resources held at Marrakesh from February 20-22, 1991. It is divided into three volumes the contributions of which are classified in the following sections: Vol. 1 entitled Groundwater Modelling and Pressure Flow: Groundwater and aquifer modelling.- Hydrodynamics and contamination.- Pressure Flow. Vol. 2 entitled Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology: Open Channel Flow.- River Hydraulics (Steady State, Unsteady State, Dain Breaking).- Surface and Subsurface Hydrology.- Transport Phenomena (Free Surface Flow Wave Propagation, Coastal Dynamics, Turbulent Flow).- Environmental Aspects. Vol. 3 entitled Computer Aided Engineering in Water Resources: Water Resources Planning and Management.- Computer Aided Engineering Systems.- Data Acquisition and Processing.- Remote Sensing.- Hydraulic Structures.- Boundary Element Methods.

This report is designed to help water managers & planners who are not expert in modeling, & modeling experts in one area who are interested in surveying available models in another area. Covers: model development & distribution org's.; general-purpose software; demand forecasting & balancing supply with demand; water distribution system models; ground water models; watershed runoff models; stream, hydraulics models; river & reservoir water quality models; & reservoir/river system operation models. Inventory of selected models appendix. Tables.

Water Management Models: A Guide to Software is designed to make the inventory of modeling tools more accessible to water management professionals. The purpose of the book is to assist water managers, planners, engineers, and scientists in sorting through the maze of models to understand which ones might be most useful for their particular modeling needs. Information is provided to facilitate identification, selection, and acquisition of software packages for a broad spectrum of water resources planning and management applications.
