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.

Book excerpt: Flooding is a fact of life along the Red River. The disastrous flood of 1997, while a rare event, was neither unprecedented nor unforeseen. As the 1997 International Red River Basin Task Force report, Red River Flooding: Short-Term Measures concluded, "The flood of 1997 or an even larger one could happen any year." The Task Force conducted historical, geological and statistical analysis that supports this conclusion. In this report, the Task Force explores the implications associated with large floods"that is, floods of the magnitude of 1997 or larger"for the people, communities, and governments in the Red River basin. It responds to the concerns of the public and experts about the preparation needed to avoid or reduce damage from large floods. The report also discusses issues of particular concern arising from the 1997 flood. While the Task Force studied some aspects of response and recovery issues, this report focuses on preparedness and mitigation for major floods

Download or read book Flood Risk Management and the American River Basin written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes progress made by the International Joint Commission in addressing the causes & effects of damaging floods in the Red River basin. It first reviews the flood-related characteristics of the basin, the history of flooding in the basin, the flood of 1997 and its impacts, current recovery & risk mitigation measures, and the state of hydrologic & hydraulic modelling of the basin. It then makes 40 recommendations regarding measures that should be initiated within the short term to help reduce the adverse effects of flooding in the basin. The appendix contains a draft plan of studies that will be undertaken by the International Red River Basin Task Force to support preparation of its final report on problems related to Red River flooding.
