Linking Watershed Scales through Altered Waterways

Linking Watershed and Reservoir Models

Watershed nutrient management is essential in minimizing the eutrophication rate of reservoirs. A shortcoming in nutrient management of watershed-reservoir systems has been the lack of successful linking of watershed and water body models to evaluate impact of watershed management options on reservoir water quality. The objectives of this research were to 1) calibrate and validate a Soil and Wa...

Stochastic Modeling of Tanker Traffic through Narrow Waterways

In this paper a stochastic model of tanker traffic is developed to determine the probability of vessel casualties resulting from the transit traffic through a narrow waterway. More specifically, the present study models the collision and grounding probabilities in a waterway resulting from course changes due to hydrodynamic forces acting on the vessel. The computation of vessel positions and th...

Investigating driver willingness to drive through flooded waterways.

Approximately 40% of all drowning deaths involve a motor vehicle. Regardless of its significance as a cause of flood-related mortality, there is continued prevalence of driving through flooded waterways in Australia and worldwide. We aimed to understand the motivational determinates of driving through flooded waterways in low and high-risk scenarios by utilizing an augmented theory of planned b...
