Book Physical and Economic Feasibility of Nonstructural Flood Plain Management Measures

Download or read book Physical and Economic Feasibility of Nonstructural Flood Plain Management Measures written by William K. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine the physical and economic feasibility of a number of nonstructural flood control measures and develop criteria for their use. Eleven such measures are selected; this report evaluates their overall physical and economic feasibility. The measures studied are: temporary and permanent closures for openings in existing structures; raising existing structures; construction of new structures on fill or columns; small walls or levees around structures; relocating or protecting damageable property; relocating existing structures and/or contents out of a flood hazard area; flood forecast, warning and evacuation; use of water resistant materials in construction; regulation of development of flood plain land through zoning ordnances, subdivision, regulations and building codes; public acquisition of title or easement to flood plain land; and flood insurance. Cost estimates, advantages, disadvantages and references are provided for each measure. A sensitivity analysis of flood damage in relation to various hydrologic, hydraulic, and economic parameters was conducted.

Book Interactive Nonstructural Flood control Planning

Download or read book Interactive Nonstructural Flood control Planning written by David T. Ford and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of nonstructural flood-control planning are formulation, evaluation, selection, and implementation of a practicable management plan that provides optimal protection from the adverse effects of flooding. Many alternative flood-control measures can be dismissed by the water resources planner on the basis of judgement, but a substantial number will require detailed analysis before a suitable plan can be selected. This analysis is an iterative process, requiring input from the planar at each step. Software developed at the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) allows efficient data storage in a structure-oriented data bank and provides for selective retrieval and manipulation of the data from an interactive terminal. Thus the planner is able to propose nonstructural measures and to evaluate rapidly the economic and technical feasibility of those measures in a iterative scheme that allows the required input from the planner. An application of the interactive plan evaluation software is presented. Steps in creating the data bank are defined, and use of the software for subsequent accessing and manipulating the data for plan evaluation is discussed. (Author).

Book A Casebook in Managing Rivers for Multiple Uses

Download or read book A Casebook in Managing Rivers for Multiple Uses written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of rivers across the United States are now being successfully managed for a broad range of objectives. The eight case studies in this report illustrate innovative and successful strategies for multi-objective river corridor planning and management. Rivers throughout the country were chosen to represent a variety of physiographic and climatic zones and include both urban and rural communities. Key information about each project is described, including a summary of important planning and implementation aspects, a description of innovative design and technical solutions with illustrations, and a discussion of institutional arrangements and successful partnerships.
