    • A Distributed, Physically-based, Rainfall-runoff Model Incorporating Topography for Real-time Flood Forecasting 

      Cabral, Mariza C.; Bras, Rafael L.; Tarboton, David; Entekhabi, Dara (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-10)
      We present a distributed, physically-based model of runoff generation in a catchment, for operational use in flood forecasting. The model accounts for both the infiltration-excess and saturation-excess mechanisms of runoff ...

    • Chemically Enhanced Wastewater Treatment 

      Morrissey, Shawn P.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-09)
      Many municipalities are currently under court order to provide secondary-level treatment to their wastewater. Since federal funding is no longer available to build the necessary facilities, the burden of paying for secondary ...

    • Hydraulic Model Study of Seawater Purging for the Boston Wastewater Outfall 

      Adams, E. Eric; Sahoo, Dipak; Liro, Christopher R. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, MIT, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-04)
      A 1:83 hydraulic scale model was built to study the mechanism of seawater purging in the tunneled outfall that will convey effluent from MWRA's Secondary Treatment Plant on Deer Is. out into Massachusetts Bay. Purging ...
