About the Authors…
Theodore V. Hromadka II, Ph.D., Ph.D., Ph.D., PE obtained his doctoral degrees in Mathematics, Civil Engineering and Computer Modeling. Ted is the author of more than 300 technical papers, 20 books and numerous key reports or procedure manuals, including the Hydrology Manuals for the counties of Orange, San Bernardino, Kern, Imperial and San Joaquin, California. Ted is considered an expert in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, water quality, Best Management Practices, sediment transport, groundwater modeling, water supply and other topics. He has participated in the preparation of 50 city or county-wide Master Plans of Drainage.
Richard H. McCuen, Ph.D. is a professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Maryland at College Park. He has degrees in Civil Engineering from both Carnigie-Mellon University and Georgia Institute of Technology. He has published over 210 refereed journal papers and authored 12 books. He was recently the editor of the journal Water Resources Bulletin. He has consulted with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Soil Conservation Service, and many projects with private engineering firms.
Johannes J. De Vries, Ph.D. is currently a private consultant and the Northern California program representative with the Water Resources Center in Davis, CA. He frequently teaches courses in hydraulics and hydrology and water management at the University of California at Davis. He is a prominent consultant to federal, state, and local agencies and private engineering firms. His overseas experience includes several projects in India and Argentinia. He has over 95 refereed journal publications.
James Clements, MS has participated since 1969 in various aspects of computer technology and system analysis including large scale scientific and engineering applications, development of human engineering standards for computer interfacing, telecommunications, distributed intelligence data base systems, and massive software conversions. Jim has contributed to the rapid evolution of computer machinery from mainframes to micros and software state-of-the-art methodologies.
Chung-Cheng Yen, Ph.D received his doctorate degree in engineering from the University of California, and has been involved in water resources research since 1980. His research work has been concentrated upon uncertainty analysis in both surface water and groundwater analyses of numerical methods, such as the Complex Variable Boundary Element Method and the Best Approximation Method. His publication list includes over 40 refereed journal and full-conference papers, and 3 books.
Mark H. Seits, MS has been involved in water resources engineering since 1981. He has participated in the perparation of two regional hydrology manuals, several city master plans of drainage, and numerous commercial/ industrial drainage studies. He is also well experienced in the preparation of water resources related computer software. Mark is currently employed by Huitt-Zollars, Inc. of Dallas, Texas.
Willard M. Snyder, Ph.D. has an extensive background in hydrology, hydraulics, and numerical methods. He has published over 125 technical papers and is the originator of multivariate statistics in hydrology. He has long experience with the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, watershed research, and numerical modeling of the environmental impact of agricultural systems.
Timothy J. Durbin, MS, President of Hydrolic Consultants, Inc., of Davis, CA, has over 25 years experience, both with the USGS and private firms, in the field of groundwater modeling. He has delveloped computer programs which are widely used for the simulation of groundwater flow, solute and heat transport, and multi-phase flow. He has extensive experience in the application of computer models to practical problems.
