<br />, <br /> <br />developed hydrologic engineering techniques, and (c) provide assistance <br />to Corps field offices in hydrologic engineering studies. The Center <br />has recently been assigned responsibility in the area of planning <br />analysis so that its capabilities in the field of systems analysis can be <br />focused on priority components of planning problems. From the beginning, <br />flEC concentrated on computer applications and utilization in carrying <br />out each of these missions (reference 1). <br />The research and development work has resulted in the coding, testing <br />and documentation of about 30 generalized computer programs in hydrologic <br />engineering. The programs are generalized in that they can be applied <br />without modification to almost any problem in their specific area of appli- <br />cation regardless of the scope of the problem, the geographic location of <br />the problem, or the degree of detail required in a particular solution. <br />Five of the programs are large programs that combine a number of functions <br />into a single package. These five programs are in the areas of flood <br /> <br />hydrograph analysis, water surface profiles, reservoir systems analysis <br /> <br />for flood control and conservation and monthly streamflow simulation. <br />The training activities conducted or sponaored by the Center are <br />designed to improve the hydrologic engineering capabilities of the Corps <br />of Engineers in accomplishing its civil works mission. This specialized <br />training contributes to more efficient performance of technical studies <br /> <br /> <br />associated with the planning, design and operation of civil works projects. <br /> <br /> <br />The training program includes about 20 weeks per year of 1- and 2-week <br /> <br />2 <br />
