DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report presents the results of a study of Corps of Engineers involvement in nonstructural flood control alternatives. It concentrates on flood proofing and floodplain evacuation, the two alternatives implementable by the Corps that are capable of reducing existing flood damages. Its notes that the Corps has recommended and undertaken very few nonstructural projects to date. Prospects for future involvement are poor. Five major conclusions are drawn and recommendations made to effect changes in policy and procedures. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis research presents a computer-based scheme for evaluating land use and engineering alternatives for flood plain management and includes a test application. The management alternatives considered in the report include spatial and temporal distribution of urban land uses, site elevation through dirt fill, flood proofing, open space, public land acquisition and engineering measures. A linear programming approach is employed for the study. (Modified author abstract).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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).
