Field investigations indicate that unpaved roads are the largest sediment source on St John, US Virgin Islands. Crosssectional measurements of eroded road surfaces were used to establish an empirical relationship to predict annual road surface erosion as a function of road gradient and contributing

โฆ Synopsis
The TRANSYT program is one of the most extensively used programs for the production of signal coordination plans. The impediments to the development of signal coordination plans are associated with data collection and data input. GIS oers a natural solution to these problems. This paper presents the SIGTRAF system, which uses GIS-T technology for the production of coordination plans using TRANSYT. This system is able to extract topological information from the GIS-T, thus simplifying the process of coding TRANSYT models. A case study was performed, providing insight on how the GIS-Tรs thematic mapping capabilities can be used to visually compare dierent timing plans.

The eco-socio-economic balance of a region can be preserved by proper land-use planning, particularly in hilly watersheds where erosion caused by rainfall is an ever-present threat.

Groundwater analysis involves understanding both spatial and temporal changes. Changes in many different types of media have been modeled in the past with finite-difference and finite-element meshes. In the same way, groundwater can be represented as a finite-element analysis problem. This document
