    • Reliability of Water Distribution Systems 

      Wanger, Janet M.; Shamir, Uri; Marks, David H. (Cambridge, Mass : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986-06)
      Reliability of water distribution systems is becoming of increasing concern to water system designers and operators because of the increasing age of many systems and the decreasing availability of public money for water ...

    • A Coupled Heat, Salt and Water Balance Model of Evaporation and Stratification in Saline Terminal Lakes: An Application to the Dead Sea 

      Salhotra, Atul Mohan; Adams, E. Eric; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986-04)
      A time varying, one-dimensional, coupled heat, salt and water budget model is developed for a hypersaline water body in which the vertical stability depends on the opposing influences of temperature and salinity stratification. ...
