Acceptance and implementation of a broad classification of flood loss reduction actions, termed nonstructural, have produced a set of measures which vary significantly with respect to physical attributes and performance. The measures may be implemented on a site-specific or broad-scaled basis, be permanent or temporary in nature, and reduce existing or future flood losses. The analyst's understanding of the engineering and economic attributes of the measures plays a major role in formulating viable alternatives in feasibility investigations. These alternatives should include integrated sets of structural and nonstructural measures. Originator-supplied keywords include: Nonstructural measures, engineering and economic analyses, relocation, flood proofing, raising, regulation, flood-warning-emergency preparedness plans, expected annual damage, plan formulation.

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.

An ensemble of analytic tools is used to identify capacity expansion alternatives for the Delaware River dredged-material disposal system. Characteristics of the river and riparian area are stored and analyzed with a geographic information system. Site attractiveness maps produced with these data yield an array of potential expansion sites. The least-costly schedule for acquisition of these sites is identified with branch-and-bound enumeration. For the enumeration, the operation cost of alternative expansion plans is evaluated with a network-flow programming model of the disposal system. (Author).
