ASCE - Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize

Organization: American Society of Civil Engineers

Preferably, the award is given to a paper that is not otherwise recognized by receiving another Society prize.

Papers published by the Society during the twelve-month period ending with June of the year preceding the year of award are eligible.
