    • Groundwater Pollution: Technology, Economics and Management 

      Wilson, J. L.; Lenton, R. L.; Porras, J. (Cambridge : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976-01)
      A review of the technical, economic and management aspects of groundwater pollution is presented. The groundwater pollution problem is described and several of its important characteristics are pointed out. A description ...

    • An Analytical and Experimental Study of Transient Cooling Pond Behavior 

      Ryan, Patrick J.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1973-01)
      Cooling ponds offer many advantages as a means of closed cycle heat dissipation. These are simplicity, low maintenance.and power requirements, aesthetic and possible recreational values, and high thermal inertia. A cooling ...

    • Evaluation of Techniques for Numerical Calculation of Storm Surges 

      Pagenkopf, James R.; Pearce, Bryan R. (Cambridge Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1975-02)
      Two numerical models are employed to describe the water motion in a coastal region associated with the passage of a hurricane or severe storm. The first is two-dimensional, employs the vertically integrated or "tidal" ...
