Adapting selected soil and water engineering technology to Thailand conditions
… developed for the purpose of applying soil and water conservation structure designs utilized in the United States for use in Thailand. Design parameters currently being used in the United States were first studied and evaluated as to their development and application. The range of application of …

Application of a discrete element model to the analysis of granular soil recovery in an offshore tubular vibrocore
… Seabed soil sampling is crucial in deep-water engineering projects or geological studies where a detailed knowledge of the seabed geology is required. Deep-sea vibrocoring is a relatively new offshore sampling technique. The system consists of a vertical, tubular core barrel with a sharp …

Pipe dream : why Utah's water managers continue to prioritize supply-side solutions
… irrigation ditches and canals to harness what water there was for their farms. Since then, Utah water managers have solved water supply problems by building large infrastructure projects. Today, Utah's population is growing rapidly, but the water supplies that enable its desert oases are not, …

Computational study of hydro-environmental processes of Poyang Lake, China
Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, plays a key role in regulating the hydrology, water quality and ecosystem in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Recent industrial development and urbanization in Jiangxi province have driven rapid increase in water consumption and …

Real–Time Imaging of Decimetre–Resolution 3D Seismic Volumes
… providing an ideal platform for shallow–water engineering, archaeology, military, and geological studies. In this thesis, I show how simple processing flows built around a combination of standard Chirp/Vibroseis techniques and well known industry methods produce effective and impressive …

Development of phenomenologically-based distribution fitting procedures and spatial processes for mixed population soil properties
… into three common processes in Soil and Water Engineering, namely, Monte Carlo simulation, stochastic field generation, and interpolation. In these procedures, data which are best represented by heterogeneous distributions are transformed to Gaussian space and existing Gaussian-based …

Coastal Overwash: Processes and Modelling
Overwash is the flow of water and sediment over the crest of a beach system when the runup level of waves or the water level, often enhanced by storm surge, exceeds the local beach or dune crest height. The impacts of overwash on coastal barriers or low lying mainland coasts are striking. Overwash …

River channel dynamics mapped with dense lidar point cloud time series
… are created by lowland rivers that drain water, sediment, and organic matter from upland landscapes. Many of these are self-formed alluvial river channels that have a bed and banks made of mobile material. Interactions between the flow and the material lining the channel cause alluvial …

Evaluation of Modern Irrigation Techniques with Brackish Water
… are becoming increasingly important in water-scarce countries especially in arid and semiarid regions. Higher crop production and better water use efficiency are usually achieved by drip irrigation as compared to other irrigation methods. Furthermore, by using drip irrigation …

Analysis and Modelling of Desalination Brines
Seawater desalination constitutes an important water supply to the population bordering the Arabian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The three regions represent about 11.8% of the world land area and the countrieshosted approximately 9% of the world population in 1950 and 2008 and are …

Modern landfill leachates – quality and treatment
… and flushing pollutants by allowing water to infiltrate into landfills is advocated as a sustainable management option for municipal solid waste landfills. However, in the case of mainly inorganic landfills, containment aimed at keeping the metals in the landfills for as long as …

Sustainable Development: Implementation in Urban Water Systems
… is also moving. Therefore, approaches advocating engineering, linear, and mechanistic paradigms to define sustainability do not make much sense. Instead, we need to resort to non-linear thinking, more commonly referred to as systems thinking. Thus, System Dynamics, one branch of systems thinking …

Bench Scale Analysis Of Experimental Fouling-resistent Low Pressure Reverse Osmosis Membranes Using High Organic Surface Water And Synthetic Colloidal Water
… membrane treatment for the production of potable water has become more prevalent in today's industry. As drinking water regulations become more stringent this trend is expected to continue. Widespread use is also a result of membrane treatment being the best available treatment in many cases. …
