This thesis documents the development and application of a branch and bound enumeration algorithm for the selection of an optimal flood control plan. An application is presented in which optimal reservoir flood control plans for a three reservoir system are selected. Computer program HEC-5 is used to simulate the reservoir system to determine the modified condition flow-frequency curves, EAD is used to evaluate expected annual damage reductions and the HEC-DSS programs are used to manage the large amounts of data required for the computations. The branch and bound enumeration algorithm provides a systematic evaluation of plans with the HEC programs and expedites identification of the optimal plan by eliminating the need to evaluate all alternative plans. Keywords: Optimization; Planning; Flood control; Plan selection; Systems analysis; Economic analysis. (jhd).

This manual provides guidance and criteria for hydrologic analysis of interior areas. An interior area is defined as the area protected from direct riverine, lake, or tidal flooding by levees, floodwalls, or seawalls and low depressions or natural sinks.

The purpose of this document is to assist Corps of Engineers field office personnel in evaluation of NED benefits for nonstructural measures by use of economic concepts, interpretation of regulatory procedural documents and numeric examples. The report is intended to be used as a guide in NED benefit analysis studies of nonstructural measures. It describes the applicability of different benefit classifications (inundation, intensification and location) with respect to implementation of various nonstructural measures. Narrative examples and summary tables for quick reference are contained in the main body of the text and numeric examples displaying simplified computations are contained in an appendix. (Author).
