The introduction of parallel processing as an alternative to super-computing provides opportunities for rapid numerical integration of equations describing open-channel hydrodynamics. Parallel routing models can enhance the capabilities of deterministic watershed response models while increasing computational speed, provided these models employ cellular processors and efficient processor-management techniques. One-dimensional, open-channel conceptual cellular analogues of discretized hydrodynamic systems are illustrated, adapting existing finite-difference approaches. Cell programming can be extended to include hydrology and operations of water-control structures. Hybrid computer systems may be economically tailored in the future to specific water management applications.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is an organizational management approach that is receiving increasing attention in a wide variety of organizations, including the Ford Motor Company, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. TQM is being promoted as a comprehensive approach to solving U.S. competitiveness problems, and to improving internal organization focus and efficiency. Organizations that adopt TQM often make substantive changes in their way of doing business, in effect adopting a 'quality culture' with a different language and concepts. A brief overview of some TQM concepts is presented.
