This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing Sacramento River basin bypass system is the backbone of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project, as it conveys peak flood flows through the Sacramento Valley and to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The bypass system currently includes the Sutter and Yolo bypasses and their primary control features - the Moulton, Colusa, Tisdale, Fremont, and Sacramento weirs/bypasses. The State of California is beginning to look at expanding portions of the bypass system, to increase its capacity and subsequently decrease peak flow likelihoods in mainstem rivers that run through communities in the Sacramento Valley and Delta regions. This is particularly important with the uncertainty of future flood frequencies, in part due to climate change. This study creates a pre-reconnaissance model of the Sacramento Valley flood management system to provide rapid preliminary modeling, conceptual understanding, and proof of concept regarding how critical components of this system interact during major storms to protect different parts of the Sacramento Valley, and how expansions of various elements of the system may reduce flood damage at various locations. The expansions included in the model increase the overall capacity and flexibility of the bypass system to deal with higher flood flows in a range that have a significant probability of future occurrence. In addition, the expansions reduce the cumulative flood damages expected during large floods. The software used in this study is HEC-ResFloodOpt (Hydrologic Engineering Center's Reservoir Flood Control Optimization Program). The improvements examined include widening of the Sutter Bypass, Fremont Weir, Yolo Bypass, Sacramento Weir/Bypass, the addition of Cherokee Bypass, and several combinations of those expansions. It was found that, of all the expansions to the system, the Fremont Weir is the "bottleneck" of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project and the widening of this feature has potential to greatly reduce expected flood damages from extreme events.

Book An Investigation on Forecasting Overland Flooding for the City of Merced California Using a Two Dimensional Coupled Hydraulic Model

Download or read book An Investigation on Forecasting Overland Flooding for the City of Merced California Using a Two Dimensional Coupled Hydraulic Model written by John Yang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flooding is one of the most weather related safety hazards in California and has caused massive property damage and/or loss, and human casualties. Flooding occurs due to the fact that it is a drainage basin for thousands of acres of foothills and mountain land surrounding the valley. Snowmelt and precipitation would runoff and drain to the central valley before entering the ocean. Due to its diverse natural landscape, low elevation and flat nature, California's central valley is one of the most flood prone areas in the world. California has developed many systems of flood management facilities including flood control reservoirs, levees, weirs, diversions, etc. However, potential for flood hazards in residential areas remains serious due to uncertainty in weather patterns and developments in floodplains. It is often believed that these systems will protect areas from all flood disaster. Although it is true that these systems provide a level of protection, residual risk of flooding still exists indicating that these systems were designed to reduce the risks of flooding, and not to eliminate the risk completely. Flood forecasting is one of the key flood management practices in the United States. Early flood warming has proven to be critical for better management of the flood risk to reduce flood related life loss and property damages during high water events. Availability of appropriate forecasting tools and procedures that allows timely and accurate flood forecasting helps flood emergency response managers to make necessary decisions for preparedness, response and recovery from significant flood events. The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and California Nevada River Forecast Center (CNRFC) jointly forecast flood warning stages at 96 locations along the rivers and streams in the state of California. A coupled one dimensional (1-D) and two dimensional (2-D) hydraulic modeling system has been used for this study to focus on the impact of high stages including flood, danger and beyond in the Bear Creek on the residential areas and facilities within the City of Merced, California. This study attempts to improve the understanding of application of a coupled 1-D/2-D Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) numerical model in real time forecasting of flood warning stages in the Bear Creek. This study will also improve the understanding of the impacts of these flood warning stages in terms of inundation extents, timing to support warnings and evacuation priorities, reducing human casualties and minimizing property damages by undertaking steps to recover from flood waters.
