Download or read book Designing Water Disaster Management Policies written by Chennat Gopalakrishnan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a landmark effort to probe and analyze the theory and empirics of designing water disaster management policies. It consists of seven chapters that examine, in-depth and comprehensively, issues that are central to crafting effective policies for water disaster management. The author uses historical surveys, institutional analysis, econometric investigations, empirical case studies, and conceptual-theoretical discussions to clarify and illuminate the complex policy process. The specific topics studied in this book include a review and analysis of key policy areas and research priority areas associated with water disaster management, community participation in disaster risk reduction, the economics and politics of ‘Green’ flood control, probabilistic flood forecasting for flood risk management, polycentric governance and flood risk management, drought management with the aid of dynamic inter-generational preferences, and how social resilience can inform SA/SIA for adaptive planning for climate change in vulnerable areas. A unique feature of this book is its analysis of the causes and consequences of water disasters and efforts to address them successfully through policy-rich, cross-disciplinary and transnational papers. This book is designed to help enrich the sparse discourse on water disaster management policies and galvanize water professionals to craft creative solutions to tackle water disasters efficiently, equitably, and sustainably. This book should also be of considerable use to disaster management professionals, in general, and natural resource policy analysts. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Natural Resource Policy Research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reservoir operations are increasingly being challenged to serve the diverse and growing demand for water as hydrologic, ecologic and climatic conditions change. With the recognition of environmental benefits for reservoir-floodplain connectivity and the emergence of society's awareness of water resource degradation, significant opportunities exist to update reservoir operations. In the past, limited benefits and the comprehensive analysis required to update these operations have hindered progress. This thesis provides an evaluation framework for new operating rules that integrates flood damage, water supply, hydropower and environmental releases for a pair of central California reservoirs. Transfer of various amounts of flood storage space to other purposes is used to increase overall net benefits in a benefit cost analysis. For small to moderate reductions in flood storage space - less than 50%, revenues from water supply and hydropower offset flood damages. Transfers of 25% and 50% improve net benefits ($380,000 /yr and $620,000 /yr) while providing increased environmental releases (17 and 45 additional releases over 81 years). Transfer of 75% of flood storage space results in decreased net benefits due to elevated flood damages ( -$2.7 M/yr), but provides additional environmental releases (59 releases). Policy makers can use this approach to balance system economics and environmental outcomes.
