Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The occurrence of extreme flooding on the Truckee River in western Nevada during January 1997 offered an important opportunity to use geological information to evaluate the magnitude and frequency of large floods on the river. Geological techniques of paleoflood hydrology, sedimentology, and geomorphology were employed to address these questions in preliminary fashion by evaluating surficial and near-surface physical evidence left in the wake of flooding along the Truckee River and in a core of lacustrine sediment extracted from the bottom of Little Washoe Lake, a small lake in the Truckee River watershed that was impacted by flooding"--P. 3.

Download or read book Improving American River Flood Frequency Analyses written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Download or read book Atmospheric Rivers written by F. Martin Ralph and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the standard reference based on roughly 20 years of research on atmospheric rivers, emphasizing progress made on key research and applications questions and remaining knowledge gaps. The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research—and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts. This book is written by a global team of authors who have conducted and published the majority of critical research on atmospheric rivers over the past years. The book is intended to benefit practitioners in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and related disciplines, including students as well as senior researchers.
