Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, the California Department of Water Resources released its Central Valley Flood Protection Plan to improve the overall flood management system for the Sacramento and Joaquin River. While the plan included several opportunities to reduce flood risk within the Sacramento River Valley, the solution was more limited in the San Joaquin River. This study investigated the possible increase of flow capacity in a bypass of the San Joaquin River system located 12 miles South from Stockton, CA, named Paradise Cut. The San Joaquin River is connected to Paradise Cut with a weir which spills during large floods and diverts water from its main river stem. In a first step, a hydraulic model of the Lower San Joaquin River was built, then calibrated and finally evaluated by simulating the 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200- and 500-year flood events. Once the model was calibrated, several feature modifications at Paradise Cut weir and its surroundings were created and evaluated hydraulically (stage, flow, out-of-system volume) and economically (construction cost, expected annual damage, benefits-cost ratio). It was found that lowering and lengthening the weir, and dredging the upper portion of Paradise Cut creates great hydraulic improvement in the upper and mid-section of the study area, but very little flood enhancement once entering the California Delta. From a solely economic stand point, the inundation reduction benefits in comparison to construction cost do not make any of the modifications feasible.

This book was released on 1995-10-21 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.

Book excerpt: The past half century has seen an evolution in thinking from ‘flood control’ to ‘flood risk management’, recognizing that risk results from both hazard and vulnerability. Rather than rely only on engineering structures to reduce flood magnitude or extent, recent policies emphasize avoiding construction in flood-prone areas (or moving people from floodplains), reducing impacts on exposed populations through early warning systems, and insurance to aid in recovery. Implementing this new approach faces many challenges but also offers opportunities for synergies, as described in this book for a range of large floodplain rivers and smaller urban streams across North America and Europe. This book is unique in presenting the voices of those on the front lines of implementing a new paradigm in flood risk management, each river with a unique set of challenges and opportunities derived from its specific geography as well as differences in governance between the American and European contexts.
