Risk Information for Floodplain Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The United States began structural flood control in the 1930s and added complementary nonstructural measures in the 1960s. Nevertheless, national flood damage totals continue to increase. Reversal of this trend will require ...
Conjunctive Water Use to Control Waterlogging and Salinization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A conjunctive‐use model is developed to maximize water user's return under limited and dynamic water supply for long‐term conditions. Salt distribution in the crop root zone is modeled and its effect on crop yield is also ...
Lessons from Grand Forks: Planning Nonstructural Flood Control Measures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Even though the flood of 1997 at Grand Forks, North Dakota, did not take a single life, the people suffered enormous economic damage and such large intangible losses that the city considered itself damaged to the “core.” ...
Lessons from Grand Forks: Planning Structural Flood Control Measures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the spring of 1997, the Red River Valley experienced a traumatic flood event that inundated 80% of Grand Forks, N.D., and arguably inflicted the largest economic damage per capita ever suffered by an American city and ...
Hydrosalinity Modeling of Suspended Sediments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A submodel was added to the EPA Watershed Erosion and Sediment Transport (WEST) model to quantify salt release from suspended sediments in overland and channel flow, to determine their relative contribution in total salt ...
