Mass-conserving method of characteristics for streamflow modeling
W. G. Sikonia
1989, Open-File Report 89-414
A robust numerical model is presented for the computation of unsteady streamflow on steep river slopes. The one-dimensional model uses the method of characteristics on a specified space-time grid to solve the Saint-Venant equations. An additional continuity equation requirement on each space-time element provides greatly improved conservation of mass over...

Geohydrologic aspects for siting and design of low-level radioactive-waste disposal
M. S. Bedinger
1989, Circular 1034
The objective for siting and design of low-level radioactive-waste repository sites is to isolate the waste from the biosphere until the waste no longer poses an unacceptable hazard as a result of radioactive decay. Low-level radioactive waste commonly is isolated at shallow depths with various engineered features to stabilize the...
