Abstract |
A methodology for planning comprehensive flood control projects which allows the identification of optimum flood control plans over the planning period is developed. Flood-hydrology analysis provides information on the probability of occurrence of a given flood in any year of the planning period. Parametric linear programming is used to determine the optimal agricultural land-use policy corresponding to any given combination of magnitudes of the project's structural components. Discrete differential dynamic programming is presented for finding the optimal timing and size of the expansions of the structural components. Optimal expansions of the project are given for several values of economic parameters including the discount rate, the rate of land-value differential inflation, and budgetary and institutional constraints. The methodology is applied to a one-detention reservoir, two-levee flood control project for the Embarras River basin in Illinois. (Modified author abstract) |
