    • A Stochastic Dynamic Programming Model for the Operation of the High Aswan Dam 

      Alarcon, Luis F.; Marks, David H. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979-11)
      With the construction of the High Aswan Dam in Egypt, reliable irrigation throughout the whole year and the use of water for the generation of a high percentage of the electricity needs of the country are possible. Moreover, ...

    • Stochastic Modeling of Groundwater Systems 

      Gelhar, Lynn W.; Ko, Peter Y.; Kwai, Herman H.; Wilson, John L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974-09)
      This research developed important new results on the use of spectral analysis techniques to evaluate groundwater resources. The linear theory of aquifer spectral response in the frequency domain is developed, including ...

    • Salinity Effects on Velocity Distributions in an Idealized Estuary 

      Harleman, D. R. F.; Hoopes, J. A.; McDougall, D.; Goulis, D. A. (Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962-01)
      An experimental and analytical investigation of the two-dimensional (i.e. longitudinal and vertical) convective-diffusion processes in an idealized laboratory estuary. The estuary is idealized to obtain steady-state salinity ...
