<br />-- <br /> <br />Alternative flood management plans for the Connecticut were developed and <br />evaluated. They included completely nonstructural as well as combinations of <br />structural and non-structural alternatives. Nonstructural measures providing <br />a range of levels of protection, including floodproofing, were evaluated in terms <br />of their costs and flood damage reduction potential. The report contains a <br />description of the approach to plan formulation, cost evaluation and damage re- <br />duction estimation. Information on the existing situation on the Connecticut <br />Main St~and four major tributaries is presented along with the plans formu- <br />lated and the evaluation results. <br /> <br />CheneY, Miller, Ellis and Associates, Inc.

PB-238 498) <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Nonstructural flood management techniques in use in the Connecticut River <br />Basin, including flood proofing, are described in detail and their advantages <br />and limitations are discussed, along with the effectiveness of nonstructural flood <br />management at the state levels in the basin. A framework is presented for ap- <br />plying information on nonstructural measures to actual flood plain situations <br />in the basin, and selected examples of nonstructural flood management at the <br />community level are discussed. Information on basin flood plains and communi- <br />ties is presented for use in selecting possible combinations of technically <br />feasible flood management programs and in evaluating their potential effectiv~- <br />ness in controlling flood losses in the basin. <br /> <br />Day, John C. <br />"A recursive progr8llllling model for nonstructural flood damage control." <br />Water Resources Research 6, (Oct. 1970), pp. 1262-1272. <br /> <br />Presents a computational technique for evaluating land use alternatives <br />based on the economic value a community gains from its land. A linear program- <br />ming model is developed that identifies economically efficient combinations of <br />l)spatial and temporal planning of urban land use, 2) site elevation through <br />landfill, and 3) flood proofing of buildings. <br /> <br />Day, John C.
