Book Winter Low Flow Tracer Dye Studies  Athabasca River  Athabasca to Bitumount  Part I  Time of Travel

Download or read book Winter Low Flow Tracer Dye Studies Athabasca River Athabasca to Bitumount Part I Time of Travel written by David Donald Andres and published by The Study. This book was released on 1993 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report of a study carried out on the Athabasca River between the towns of Athabasca and Bitumount in February-March 1992.

Book Winter Under ice Tracer Dye Studies  Time of Travel and Mixing Characteristics

Download or read book Winter Under ice Tracer Dye Studies Time of Travel and Mixing Characteristics written by Northwest Hydraulic Consultants and published by The Study. This book was released on 1994 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the hydraulic characteristics of rivers is necessary to understand how effluents and their contaminants are mixed and transported, and where they are deposited in rivers. To properly model the transport of contaminants and pollutants within freshwater systems, the mixing or dispersion characteristics must be established. The tracer dye study focused on the calculation of mixing coefficients and travel times using field dye tests on the Peace River between Shaftsbury Ferry and Notikewan River. The test was completed under ice covered conditions in February and March 1993, the period most critical for potential impacts on the aquatic ecosystem.

Book Contaminant Fate Modelling  Athabasca  Wapiti and Smoky Rivers

Download or read book Contaminant Fate Modelling Athabasca Wapiti and Smoky Rivers written by Golder Associates and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes and presents simulation results from numerical models of the transport and fate of environmental chemicals in northern Alberta rivers. The models were developed using the USEPA WASP modelling system and were structured as one-dimensional (longitudinal) models with separate, interacting water column and bed sediment compartments. Seven selected organic chemicals were simulated over 1992-93 for the Athabasca River and over 1990-91 for the Wapiti/Smoky River system. Chemicals simulated included 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro dibenzofuran, dehydroabietic acid, and phenanthrene. The models were first calibrated for sodium and total suspended solids. Organic chemicals were simulated using a set of environmental fate constants developed from a literature search, numerical estimation software, and estimation from field data. Results of initial simulations were compared to observed data and adjustments made to selected constants to improve the calibration.

Book Challenging Legitimacy at the Precipice of Energy Calamity

Download or read book Challenging Legitimacy at the Precipice of Energy Calamity written by Debra J. Davidson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human history has often been described as a progressive relinquishment from environmental constraints. Now, it seems, we have come full circle. The ecological irrationalities associated with industrial societies have a lengthy history, and our purpose in the proposed book is not to catalogue this litany of wrongs. Rather, this book is about political responses to global environmental crisis at a crucial turning point in history, by focusing on the political discourses surrounding the tar sands in Alberta, Canada.

Book Commodity Risk Management

Download or read book Commodity Risk Management written by Geoffrey Poitras and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to cover the following general topics: development and assessment of theories for evaluating commodity risk; the role of derivative securities in managing commodity risk; and, an assessment of the actual management of commodity risk in specific situations. The primary contribution of the book is the explicit development of the often overlooked connection between risk management and speculation. The central theme is to demonstrate that commodity risk management decisions require an in depth understanding of speculative strategies. To this end, this book aims to provide a unified treatment of important concepts and techniques that are useful in applying derivative securities in the management of risk arising in commodity markets.

Book Karst Aquifers   Characterization and Engineering

Download or read book Karst Aquifers Characterization and Engineering written by Zoran Stevanović and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical training guidebook makes an important contribution to karst hydrogeology. It presents supporting material for academic courses worldwide that include this and similar topics. It is an excellent sourcebook for students and other attendees of the International Karst School: Characterization and Engineering of Karst Aquifers, which opened in Trebinje, Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2014 and which will be organized every year in early summer. As opposed to more theoretical works, this is a catalog of possible engineering interventions in karst and their implications. Although the majority of readers will be professionals with geology/hydrogeology backgrounds, the language is not purely technical making it accessible to a wider audience. This means that the methodology, case studies and experiences presented will also benefit water managers working in karst environments.
