This book was released on 1995-10-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) investigations of flood control options for the American River basin and evaluates flood control feasibility studies for the watershed, with attention to the contingency assumptions, hydrologic methods, and other analyses supporting the flood control options. This book provides detailed comments on many technical issues, including a careful review of the 1991 National Research Council report American River Watershed Investigation, and looks beyond the Sacramento case to broader questions about the nation's approach to flood risk management. It discusses how to utilize information available about flood hazard reduction alternatives for the American River basin, the potential benefits provided by various alternatives, the impacts of alternatives on environmental resources and ecosystems, and the trade-offs inherent in any choice among alternatives which does not lie in the realm of scientists and engineers, but in the arena of public decisionmaking.

This book was released on 1999-04-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacramento, California, has grown literally at the edge of the Sacramento and American Rivers and for 150 years has struggled to protect itself from periodic floods by employing structural and land management measures. Much of the population lives behind levees, and most of the city's downtown business and government area is vulnerable to flooding. A major flood in 1986 served as impetus for efforts by federal, state, and local entities to identify an acceptable and feasible set of measures to increase Sacramento's level of safety from American River floods. Numerous options were identified in 1991 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in a report known as the American River Watershed Investigation. Due to the controversial nature of many of the alternatives identified in that report, study participants were not able to reach consensus on any of the flood control options. In response, the Congress directed the USACE to reevaluate available flood control options and, at the same time, asked the USACE to engage the National Research Council (NRC) as an independent advisor on these difficult studies. In 1995 NRC's Committee on Flood Control Alternatives in the American River Basin issued Flood Risk Management and the American River Basin: An Evaluation. This report outlined an approach for improving the selection of a flood risk reduction strategy from the many available.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Proposed Major Development on American River: An Analysis of Its Utility in the Coordinated Plan for the Development of the Water Resources of California In connection with the investigation, assistance has been received from the American River Hydro-electric Company, State Reclamation Board and American River Flood Control District. The American River Hydro-electric Company furnished topographic maps of the several reservoirs and dam sites, a geological report on the dam sites, data on subsurface explorations at the site of the proposed Folsom dam and a proposed method of operating the reservoirs primarily for power. The State Reclamation Board and the American River Flood Control District, in the early stages of the investigation, furnished engineering assistance in certain phases of the study. In 1924, a general study of the American River, comparing various schemes of utilization of water resources of the basin, was made and a report§ rendered thereon by a board of engineers appointed by the Federal Power Commission and composed of representatives of the Federal Government and a representative of the State of California. The purpose of the investigation was to make a general study of the American River in California with a view to comparing various schemes of utilization of water resources, and outlining such schemes as are best suited to the needs of pow er, irrigation, and domestic supply, bearing in mind the effect produced on interests dependent on the lower Sacra mento River, notably navigation and island irrigation.
