This book was released on 1983 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additional tests were conducted in an existing 1:100-scale model of the entrance of Rogue River to determine shoaling patterns wave heights, water-surface elevations, and river current velocities in the lower reaches of the river. The improvement plans involved reorienting the mouth of the river; decreasing the width of the entrance; and installation of weir sections in the north and south jetties. Among the conclusions from test results are: (1) The narrower, reoriented entrance of Plan 12 will generally result in smaller wave heights in the small-boat basin and lower reaches of the river than those obtained for existing conditions when the shoal is not present. Wave heights will be substantially higher in the new entrance area, however, than in the existing entrance. (2) Sediment will move into the new jettied entrance of Plan 12 for waves from all directions and may eventually migrate upstream and form shoals adjacent to the new structures that could restrict or prohibit navigation. and (3) the new entrance of Plan 12 will result in substantial increases in water-surface elevations (in excess of 7 ft for the higher discharges) in the lower reaches of the river when compared with stages obtained for existing conditions with the shoal removed.

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 1995-09-21 with total page 249 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.

Book excerpt: The past half century has seen an evolution in thinking from ‘flood control’ to ‘flood risk management’, recognizing that risk results from both hazard and vulnerability. Rather than rely only on engineering structures to reduce flood magnitude or extent, recent policies emphasize avoiding construction in flood-prone areas (or moving people from floodplains), reducing impacts on exposed populations through early warning systems, and insurance to aid in recovery. Implementing this new approach faces many challenges but also offers opportunities for synergies, as described in this book for a range of large floodplain rivers and smaller urban streams across North America and Europe. This book is unique in presenting the voices of those on the front lines of implementing a new paradigm in flood risk management, each river with a unique set of challenges and opportunities derived from its specific geography as well as differences in governance between the American and European contexts.
