DTIC ADA219222: Proceedings of a Hydrology & Hydraulics Conference on Functional & Safety Aspects of Corps Projects Held in Crab Orchard, Tennessee on 16-19 October 1989

The Hydrology and Hydraulics Conference on Functional and Safety Aspects of Corps Projects provided an excellent forum for hydrologic engineers to present case examples and share ideas relating to functional and safety considerations of flood damage reduction projects. Hydrologic engineers play an important role in the planning, design, and operation of USACE flood damage reduction projects. Hydrologic engineers by training and experience, understand the variable nature of flooding, the limitations of technical methods used to quantify flooding and risk, and the different characteristics of flood damage reduction measures. They tend to be the technical professionals concerned with the physical performance of projects. In the mind of a hydrologic engineer, the primary purposes of flood damage reduction projects are to reduce the flood hazard to persons and damage to property. Keywords: Proceedings, Flood damage reduction, Safety.
