| Abstract: | This training document is intended to illustrate how a variety of structural and nonstructural flood control measures can be analyzed using computer program HEC-5C, "Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation System." Originally developed in 1973 by Bill S. Eichert, the program has undergone several significant changes to make it a more useful tool in the formulation and assessment of flood control systems. A major addition was the development, by Darryl Davis and Harold Kubik, of an economic routine to compute average annual damages at specified damage centers within the system. This in turn leads to damages reduced or inundation reduction benefits. Its full computational capabilities are described in references 1 and 2. This document is divided into three parts and illustrates how this model can be used in planning to formulate and assess alternative systems of both structural and nonstructural measures. The first part is a discussion of some basic principles of flood control planning; part II illustrates the application of many of the principles described in part I; the third part contains supportive computer output developed as part of the application in part II. |
