Criteria for Recreation Site Selection on Flood Control Reservoirs-Case Studies
… recreation area development on three proposed flood control reservoirs. At that time, there was no central publication which could be used as a guide for such a project. This thesis was written to help correct this situation. The nine factors that were used in initial site selection are soils, …

Levee Stabilization Design for Flood Control in East Grand Forks, Minnesota
… failure of the structure could cause widespread flooding (Das 2002). This can be achieved by either the addition of more LWA to strengthen the underlying clay, or through the addition of sheet piles or a retaining wall, neither of which were looked at for this specific design. </p><p>It was also …

Modeling the flash gate board for water storage and flood control
… the reservoir water level from exceeding a flood plain during flooding conditions. Because of this constraint, much of the available water storage area is wasted and the available pressure head for power generation will be less than maximum during normal conditions. Crest control gates …

The socio-economic impact of a minor flood control project in rural Bangladesh
This dissertation examines how the construction of an embankment has altered the life of a village in Bangladesh. Once the academic context of the work has been established, the geographical and historical context of the project itself is outlined. There then follows a discussion of the formulation …

Aqua + Culture: Intergrating Fish, Farming, and Flood-control Systems on Four Mile Run
… The other is the function of preventing flooding by protecting crops on the dike and increasing water storage capacity with ponds. Duplicating the system to other parts of world seems impossible because of the weather conditions, technical requirements to operate the system and its …

A Study of the Recreational Impact on Nolin Flood Control Reservoir in West Central Kentucky
<p>The purposes of this study are: (1) to consider factors that influenced the creation of Nolin Reservoir, and the selection of its recreation sites, (2) to consider the growth and the variations in attendance and participation in activities as a function of quantity and quality of available …

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
… 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 throughout the Bayou but resulted in lower water elevation signal amplitudes that caused a lower tidal …

From the Civil Law Doctrine to the reasonable use theory and from the frontier thesis to community action: Flood control in Las Vegas, Nevada, 1905-1976
Flood control has long been a major problem for southwestern boom towns, and Las Vegas was no exception. From its birth in 1905 until the mid 1970s, the "Civil Law Doctrine" was the legal concept used by courts and residents to settle disputes over drainage problems; This paper will argue that the …

Willingness to pay for property and nonproperty flood hazard reduction benefits: an experiment using the contingent value survey method
… 1986 has increased attention to the ability of flood control benefit assessment methods to serve the joint need of assessing the economic and financial feasibility of a project. The Contingent Value Method is identified as an alternative flood control benefit assessment method. The findings of a …

The dynamics and resilience of river cities as coupled human-natural systems
… are challenged simultaneously by heightened flood risk and degraded river health. The prevailing approach to flood hazard mitigation--flood control, has been criticized to be ineffective for long-term flood safety. Flood control is also well-understood to be destructive to river-floodplain …

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 …
