<br />site elevation, and flood proofing. <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br />Day, John C. and Reuben N. Weisz <br />'~ linear programing model for use in guiding urban floodplain management." <br />Water Resources Research 12, (June 1976), pp. 349-359. <br /> <br />Modern planning seeks better solutions to urban flood problems through <br />floodplain management practices involving coordinated land use and engineering <br />approaches. Land use control can be integrated with dams, levees, channel <br />works, etc., but the physical and economic interrelationships must be taken <br />into accou . Trade-offs require quantification of the economic impacts of <br />idssimilar alternatives. A computational technique employing linear programing <br />to determine the optimum combination of flood contro~ works and land develop- <br />ment policies (including flood proofing) is applied to the Tucson situation <br />and found to yield information helpful for floodplain management. <br /> <br />Denver Regional Council of Governments, Denver, Colo.

To be published in Conference Proceedings. <br />6p. (Waterways Experiment Station Floodproofing Studies) <br /> <br />Describes a study to be completed in late 1977, the goals of which are to <br />establish useable and economical systems of floodproofing the brick veneer home <br />built on slab-on-grade, and to publish a homeowners floodproofing manual. Pre- <br />liminary results of hydrostatic loading tests show that such houses that are <br />floodproofed should not be subjected to more than 1 1/2 to 2 foot of water <br />loading. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />3 <br />
