Interactive Nonstructural Flood-control Planning
Author: David T. Ford
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Flood control
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
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).

Application of Spatial-data Management Techniques in Corps Planning
Author: Darryl W. Davis
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Water resources development
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Spatial-data management techniques allow convenient, cost-effective representation of the spatially-varying data that are necessary for effective water and related-land resources planning. Application of the techniques began in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the early 1970's as an experiment. Since then, the techniques have been used for regional planning studies, major flood-control studies, and limited-scope investigations. The HEC-SAM software, developed and supported by the staff of the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), has made practical these applications. Keywords: Geographic information systems; Data bases.

Flood Damage Assessments Using Spatial Data Management Techniques
Author: Darryl W. Davis
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Flood control
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
"The Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center has developed techniques that perform the spatial data analysis approach and individual structure approach and work is near completion on an integrated analysis package. The capability therefore exists to perform damage appraisals in a manner that encourages a general geographic and land use approach (thus greatly facilitating the study of nonstructural measures) while preserving the ability to analyze individual, unique structures should the need arise. This paper discusses the basic concepts of a spatial data management approach to damage appraisals and highlight(s) its integrated use with more traditional individual structure approaches. Selected example results are presented"--Page 2

Developing and Managing a Comprehensive Reservoir Analysis Model
Author: Richard J. Hayes
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer simulation
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed a generalized simulation model capable of analyzing complex river-reservoir systems. The development of the model, 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems' (Eichert, 1974, 1975) has been paced by the changing mission of the Corps as well as the evolution of computer systems. HEC-5 development and management, including code development, testing, documentation, training and field application experience, is discussed. (fr).

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Alluvial fans
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
This technical paper presents a general overview of the Corps of Engineers' past involvements, present practices, and the future roles in dealing with alluvial fan flooding problems. The Corps' approach to alluvial fan flooding studies and the analytical methods they use to assess potential flood hazards are summarized. Selected case studies are presented. Six important issues that need to be considered as part of an effective alluvial fan management approach are presented. An extensive list of references is also included. (fr).
