Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This 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).

An Evaluation of Post-flood Land Acquisition Programs in South Texas

Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Flooding in the United States causes billions of dollars in damages every year. This study examined the use of flood buyout as a non-structural floodplain management tool in the Guadalupe River basin of south-central Texas, an area subject to intense flood hazards. Comal and Victoria counties, two geomorphically distinct areas that initiated buyout programs following recent flood events, were involved in the research. The study objectives were to determine and compare the costs, census attributes, spatial patterns, and effectiveness of the buyout programs in the two counties. The research found that the cost per buyout property was higher in Comal than Victoria, with Victoria exhibiting a tendency for lower-income, higher-minority parcels to be purchased. The buyouts in both counties occurred in a clustered pattern, with Victoria exhibiting a higher level of clustering. Victoria County also had a higher level of effectiveness on the basis of preventing future flood damages. Although the buyout programs were successful in both counties, no solid conclusions could be drawn regarding the degree to which the differences in the results between the two counties were influenced by either the flood regime of the area, or the governmental intervention of local municipalities.
