Computing Flood Damage Reduction Accomplishment
Following flood events, the damage reduced by a federal flood damage reduction project must be computed to inform the public and assist officials in making decisions. This paper will describe...
Mitigation of Flood Hazard on Alluvial Fans
A number of investigators have suggested that the limits of the traditional, stochastic, one-dimensional model of alluvial fan flooding have been reached and that there are one- and two-dimensional...

Cooperative Approaches in Achieving Additional Water Conservation at Prado Dam
The Orange County Water District (OCWD) has successfully negotiated multi party agreements that provide for the use of Prado Basin for water conservation while ensuring protection of the...
Design Alternatives for Protection of the Santa Ana River Interceptor Sewer
The Santa Ana River Interceptor Sewer (SARIS) line buried within the floodplain of the Santa Aria River is being threatened by long term degradation of the river bed at the pipeline crossings,...
Selection of the Form of Calculated Flood Hydrograph in Projecting Water Release Facilities
Traditionally, in evaluating hydraulic structures, river flood runoff hydrographs are determined by maximum flood water volume and discharge, duration of the flood and some other parameters,...
Glacier-Generated Floods and Debris Flows
Sudden release of glacially impounded water causes catastrophic floods, known as outburst floods, and ocasionally spawn debris flows that pose significant hazards in mountainous areas....
Runoff Forecasting Using a Local Approximation Method
Forecasting of hydrological events, particularly floods, is an important topic of concern for hydrologists. Flood hazards can be prevented or their effects minimized if prior warning of...
