Book Analysis of Flood Control Operation of the Iowa Des Moines River Reservoir System Using Linear Programming Techniques

Download or read book Analysis of Flood Control Operation of the Iowa Des Moines River Reservoir System Using Linear Programming Techniques written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents methods, results and conclusions from the reservoir system analysis of three U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects on the Iowa and Des Moines River system. A flood control linear programming model was developed and applied to perform the analysis. The objective of the study is to address questions related to flood control operating policies followed by the USACE Rock Island District. Another goal of the study is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the linear programming model for this type of study.

Book Branch bound Enumeration for Reservoir Flood Control Plan Selection

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 Flood Mitigation Planning Using HEC SAM

Download or read book Flood Mitigation Planning Using HEC SAM written by Darryl W. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Interactive Nonstructural Flood control Planning

Download or read book Interactive Nonstructural Flood control Planning written by David T. Ford and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. 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).
