Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 115, Issue 1
Abstract
In September, 1945, a Joint Committee on Design and Operation of Multiple-Purpose Reservoirs was sponsored by the Hydraulics Division of the Society to study and report on the problems involved in the planning, design, and operation of multiple-purpose reservoir systems for optimum watershed development and utilization. The chairman of this joint committee is Raymond A. Hill, M. ASCE. Mr. Cochrane died on September 25, 1948.)
