Exchange flows in an urban water body: Bayou St. John responses to the removal of flood control structures, future water elevation control, and water quality
… from Lake Pontchartrain, has two anthropogenic structures that regulate flow from the Lake . The City of New Orleans has plans to remove the inner control structure to improve water quality. Field and numerical methods used in this study show removing this structure increased water elevations …

Using Two-Dimensional Numerical Models to Analyze Hydraulic Effects of Constricted Flows through the Rigolets Pass between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne
… could also be used to model flow through flood control structures in the Rigolets Pass between Lake Borgne and Lake Pontchartrain. For this purpose a small scale physical model was built. It showed that bi-stable flow can develop downstream of a constriction. Small changes in the …

Model Development and Incorporation of GIS Tools for Floodplain Management
Floodplain management consists of efforts to reduce flood damage to critical infrastructure and to protect the life and health of individuals from flooding. A major component of this effort is the monitoring of flood control structures such as dams because the potential failure of these structures …

Critical Review of Inundation Mapping Procedures for Floodplain Management
Inundation mapping is a major component of floodplain management, providing critical information as to the consequences of potential failures of flood control structures, such as dams. To develop inundation maps, a dam and river system are modeled with engineering computer programs, and a …

Assessment of Future Impact of Climate Change on Structural Protections and Hydrological Extremes – Floods
The certainty of flood protection in the face of climate change is linked to the likelihood that a system will function reliably under various future flood scenarios. It is increasingly crucial to comprehend and forecast the frequency and intensity of random hydrological factors for efficient flood …
