Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floodplain management has become a topic of high national priority in recent years. Computer simulation programs, such as HEC-1 and HEC-2, have greatly increased the efficiency with which calculations can be performed once input data are properly formatted. The objective of this study was to develop systematic procedures for the conduct of river basin floodplain studies. Guidelines are presented for standardizing watershed subdivision and the collecting, processing, and storing of stream cross section, elevation, soils, land use, and other information in computer data bases. Methodologies for accessing data bases and generating input decks for computer programs HEC-1 and HEC-2 are presented. Also discussed are procedures for interfacing these two programs such that manual input requirements are minimized. Other topics addressed include the coding of bridges, the effect of reach length on computed water surface elevation, the areal and temporal distributions of rainfall, model calibration, the automated mapping of floods, and flood damage estimation. Three software routines and some pertinent reference materials are included in four appendixes. (Author).

Book excerpt: Flood control and flood plain management investigations using spatial data management techniques are increasing in the Corps of Engineers. Pilot studies initiated in the mid-1970's were successful in consolidating analysis concepts, fostering the development of spatial data file creation and management technology and enhancing the consideration of existing and alternative future development patterns in Corps' planning studies. Over 30 studies using HEC-SAM, the Corps' spatial data management system, are now completed or underway. HEC-SAM was created through selective acquisition of commercial software, adaption of academic research products, and development by researchers at the Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC). The HEC role continues to be that of system developer and technology transfer agent. The evolution, present capabilities, and applications of HEC-SAM are described. Observations are offered on spatial technology development, implementation, and servicing. (Author).

Book excerpt: A flooding river is very hard to stop. Many residents of the United States have discovered this the hard way. Right now, over five million Americans hold flood insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program, which estimates that flooding causes at least six billion dollars in damages every year. Like rivers after a rainstorm, the financial costs are rising along with the toll on residents. And the worst is probably yet to come. Most scientists believe that global climate change will result in increases in flooding. The authors of this book present a straightforward argument: the time to stop a flooding rivers is before is before it floods. Floodplain Management outlines a new paradigm for flood management, one that emphasizes cost-effective, long-term success by integrating physical, chemical, and biological systems with our societal capabilities. It describes our present flood management practices, which are often based on dam or levee projects that do not incorporate the latest understandings about river processes. And it suggests that a better solution is to work with the natural tendencies of the river: retreat from the floodplain by preventing future development (and sometimes even removing existing structures); accommodate the effects of floodwaters with building practices; and protect assets with nonstructural measures if possible, and with large structural projects only if absolutely necessary.
