Floodplain‐Management Plan Enumeration
Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 115, Issue 4
Abstract
A branch‐and‐bound enumeration procedure improves the search for an optimal floodplain‐management plan. The procedure considers all combinations of expert‐defined alternative measures. However, through bounding, it eliminates inferior combinations without exhaustive detailed evaluation. In cases for which detailed evaluation is required, we propose using Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) system‐simulation, economic‐analysis, and data‐management software. We demonstrate the procedure with an example.
