Download or read book The Hudson River Basin written by Ralph W. Richardson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hudson River Basin: Environmental Problems and Institutional Response, Volume 2 covers a wide array of serious and complex environmental problems, reflecting the poor state of the environment itself. Most of the environmental problems in the Hudson Basin today are the result, direct or indirect, of the tremendous population and economic growth in the 25 years following World War II. This volume contains five chapters that discuss the results of the Hudson Basin Project's task groups, which presents numerous case studies of environmental controversies or "problem situations" in the Hudson Basin. The first chapters deal with the interdependence of policy areas and the applicable technology for water and air resources in the Basin. The next chapter describes the aquatic and the terrestrial communities in the Hudson Basin. The last chapters are concerned with the human health, leisure time, and recreation within the area. This book will prove useful to environmentalists and researchers.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flood plain management has been a subject of special concern in the United States for the past two decades. A river forecasting system is an integral part of a total flood plain management program. It is particularly important in those activities associated with temporary evacuation and/or floodproofing. The flood warning system associated with a river forecast system can be one of the most cost-effective alternatives for flood plain management. This study examines flood damage reduction in four carefully selected communities in the Connecticut River Basin. Using data from these communities a basin-wide extrapolation could proceed to other flood-prone communities in the basin. Properties on the flood plain were classified into residential, commercial, industrial and automobile categories. Stage damage assessments were made for those categories for four situations: no warning (NW), limited warning time (LWT), maximum practical evacuation (MPE), and floodproofing of one-story houses (FP(l)). The investigation found that approximately $750,000 of reducible damages can be expected on commercial and residential elements of the flood plain. Although reducible damages associated with industrial structures were not evaluated, elsewhere in the Nation such values often are of the same order of magnitude as residential and commercial. Total basin-wide reducible damages, therefore, undoubtedly exceed $1,500,000 per year. The present annual cost to the National Weather Service of providing river forecasts throughout the basin is approximately $75,000. A total of $200,000 per year would be adequate to provide forecast services associated with reducible damages.

This book was released on 2000-10-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing flood damage is a complex task that requires multidisciplinary understanding of the earth sciences and civil engineering. In addressing this task the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employs its expertise in hydrology, hydraulics, and geotechnical and structural engineering. Dams, levees, and other river-training works must be sized to local conditions; geotechnical theories and applications help ensure that structures will safely withstand potential hydraulic and seismic forces; and economic considerations must be balanced to ensure that reductions in flood damages are proportionate with project costs and associated impacts on social, economic, and environmental values. A new National Research Council report, Risk Analysis and Uncertainty in Flood Damage Reduction Studies, reviews the Corps of Engineers' risk-based techniques in its flood damage reduction studies and makes recommendations for improving these techniques. Areas in which the Corps has made good progress are noted, and several steps that could improve the Corps' risk-based techniques in engineering and economics applications for flood damage reduction are identified. The report also includes recommendations for improving the federal levee certification program, for broadening the scope of flood damage reduction planning, and for improving communication of risk-based concepts.
