This paper describes a technique that has been developed and programmed into an existing Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) computer model (6) that provides an estimate of the 'best' size of the individual components of a complex interrelated system of urban flood-control works while using techniques of analysis that are very near to the present state-of-the-art in the Corps of Engineers in hydrologic modeling, cost analysis, and economic damage-frequency analysis. 'Best' is defined as the combination of component sizes that yield the maximum value of system net benefits while observing performance standard constraints, if they exist. This capability has been developed so that a system consisting of up to six detection storage reservoirs, two within or out of basin diversions, and two pumping facilities can be automatically sized.

Effective urban drainage to manage stormwater and control flooding depends on good engineering, especially when an environmentally sustainable approach is being applied. This new text focuses on green methods and modelling techniques. It covers the principles of hydrology and drainage, low-impact-development (LID) designs, computer modelling techniques, the evaluation of existing systems, and planning for both new development and urban renewal. It outlines design procedures using examples, spreadsheet models, photos, and real-world design examples. Unlike other books, which focus on extreme events, this book covers hydrologic designs for both extreme and frequent events, and reflects the latest revolution in stormwater LID management, and takes a quantitative as well as a qualitative approach. PowerPoint® presentations and Excel® computer models are provided to follow and build on the exercises in the book. It is written especially for students on urban watershed courses, and also for those studying urban planning, landscaping, water resources, hydrology and hydraulics.
"The Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center has developed techniques that perform the spatial data analysis approach and individual structure approach and work is near completion on an integrated analysis package. The capability therefore exists to perform damage appraisals in a manner that encourages a general geographic and land use approach (thus greatly facilitating the study of nonstructural measures) while preserving the ability to analyze individual, unique structures should the need arise. This paper discusses the basic concepts of a spatial data management approach to damage appraisals and highlight(s) its integrated use with more traditional individual structure approaches. Selected example results are presented"--Page 2
