- 1998:
Dr. Ponce's version of the Muskingum-Cunge method,
published in 1978 in the ASCE Journal of the
Hydraulics Division, was incorporated as one of the
flood routing methods of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Modeling System).
- 1996: Interviewed Vic Mockus, the lead
developer of the runoff curve number method, prior

Charles S. Mott Foundation, of Flint, Michigan.
- 1990: Dr. Ponce's version of the
Muskingum-Cunge method,
published in 1978 in the ASCE Journal of the

flood routing methods of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
HEC-1 Flood Hydrology Package.
- 1989: Published the textbook
entitled
Engineering Hydrology, Principles and Practices
(Prentice Hall).
This texbook is being used in many universities around the world.
- 1979: Received the American
Society of Civil Engineers' Karl E. Hilgard Hydraulics Prize. This
prestigious prize is awarded to the author(s) of the best paper published in the Journal
of Hydraulic Engineering
in the year prior to the competition. The paper is entitled

Amazon tidal wave, or pororoca, on the estuary of the Araguari river,
Amapa, Brazil, at 8 am, January 22, 1989. The pororoca coincides with
new and full moons, and it is strongest during the equinoctial months (See "What a bore!") (Photo by V. M. Ponce).
