Book Synopsis Interactive Nonstructural Flood-control Planning by : David T. Ford

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of nonstructural flood-control planning are formulation, evaluation, selection, and implementation of a practicable management plan that provides optimal protection from the adverse effects of flooding. Many alternative flood-control measures can be dismissed by the water resources planner on the basis of judgement, but a substantial number will require detailed analysis before a suitable plan can be selected. This analysis is an iterative process, requiring input from the planar at each step. Software developed at the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) allows efficient data storage in a structure-oriented data bank and provides for selective retrieval and manipulation of the data from an interactive terminal. Thus the planner is able to propose nonstructural measures and to evaluate rapidly the economic and technical feasibility of those measures in a iterative scheme that allows the required input from the planner. An application of the interactive plan evaluation software is presented. Steps in creating the data bank are defined, and use of the software for subsequent accessing and manipulating the data for plan evaluation is discussed. (Author).
Book Synopsis Floodplain Management by : Bob Freitag
Download or read book Floodplain Management written by Bob Freitag and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Branch-bound Enumeration for Reservoir Flood Control Plan Selection by : Teresa Helen Bowen
Download or read book Branch-bound Enumeration for Reservoir Flood Control Plan Selection written by Teresa Helen Bowen and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis documents the development and application of a branch and bound enumeration algorithm for the selection of an optimal flood control plan. An application is presented in which optimal reservoir flood control plans for a three reservoir system are selected. Computer program HEC-5 is used to simulate the reservoir system to determine the modified condition flow-frequency curves, EAD is used to evaluate expected annual damage reductions and the HEC-DSS programs are used to manage the large amounts of data required for the computations. The branch and bound enumeration algorithm provides a systematic evaluation of plans with the HEC programs and expedites identification of the optimal plan by eliminating the need to evaluate all alternative plans. Keywords: Optimization; Planning; Flood control; Plan selection; Systems analysis; Economic analysis. (jhd).

Book Synopsis Two-dimensional Floodplain Modeling by : D. Michael Gee
Download or read book Two-dimensional Floodplain Modeling written by D. Michael Gee and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A two-dimensional horizontal finite element numerical model (RMA-2) was applied to a 15 mile (24 km) river channel-floodplain reach in West Germany. Previous applications of such models have been restricted to much smaller scales. The results indicate that finite element schemes may successfully estimate river stage in large scale floodplain applications. Computed stage hydrographs compared well with observed data using loss coefficients within expected ranges. Two-dimensional flow models have been applied to certain classes of river channel problems. Applications have included detailed analyses of flow patterns near structures such as bridges and floodplains. In all these problems the scale of interest has been small, e.g. reaches of river a few river widths long. Many estuary studies have been done that were of large scale; some of these utilized a hybrid (numerical plus physical) modeling technique. In a review of the application of finite element methods to river channels, Samuels reported that the river channel was resolved separately from the floodplain in only two studies. Missing in previous work is attention to large scale floodplain modeling. The work reported in this paper focuses on the feasibility and accuracy of applying a two-dimensional flow model to a large floodplain. Traditional floodplain studies have used semi-empirical flow routing with steady, one-dimensional computation of water surface elevations to define inundated areas. Keywords: Army Corps of Engines.

Book Synopsis Application of the Finite Element Method to Vertically Stratified Hydrodynamic Flow and Water Quality by : Robert C. MacArthur
Download or read book Application of the Finite Element Method to Vertically Stratified Hydrodynamic Flow and Water Quality written by Robert C. MacArthur and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer program RMA-7 has been expanded to be able to simulate density induced flows and water quality conditions typically found in deep reservoirs. The mathematical basis for the program and methods of implementing the code for various kinds of flow are discussed. Results from two different applications are presented. The first example simualtes flow conditions that were measured in a physical model of a deep reservoir. Results are also included for simulations of the circulation, temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations for Lake Taneycomo, Missouri. Comparison of measured and computed results from both applications shows that the RMA-7 model provides reasonably accurate results for both flow circulating and water quality. (Author).
