Integration of heuristic knowledge with analytical tools for the selection of flood damage reduction measures
TLDR
In this paper, an expert system called Intelligent Flood Management System for the selection of appropriate flood damage reduction measures for a given area is described, which is based on hydraulic, hydrological, geotechnical, environmental and economic factors related to the river system and the area to be protected from floods.Abstract:
Heuristic knowledge has been integrated with analytical tools to support decision making for flood management. Development of an expert system called Intelligent Flood Management System for the selection of appropriate flood damage reduction measures for a given area is described. The selection of flood damage reduction measures is based on hydraulic, hydrological, geotechnical, environmental, and economic factors related to the river system and the area to be protected from floods. The knowledge base of the Intelligent Flood Management System is generic and can be used to identify a suitable flood management option for any area. The model base of the Intelligent Flood Management System consists of the hydraulic analysis package HEC-RAS, the flood damage analysis program HEC-FDA, and a model for economic analysis. The graphical user interface is developed for effective communication with the system. The developed system has been implemented to identify appropriate flood damage reduction options for the to...read more

TL;DR: Uncertainty of the upstream boundary can have significant impact on the model results, exceeding the importance of model parameter uncertainty in some areas, however, this depends on the hydraulic conditions in the reach e.g. internal boundary conditions and, for example, the amount of backwater within the modelled region.

TL;DR: Major challenges to water sustainability in the Las Vegas Valley would be due to rapid population growth as well as to climate variability, however, with the combination of reduced population growth rate and water conservation policies, the Colorado River supply could meet the future demand of the LVV most of the time.
