Basin-Level Digital Elevation Models - Availability and Applications - The Red River of the North Basin Case Study
Significant strides have been made in recent years in relation to our ability to derive high resolution terrain data for environmental analyses. The increased availability of these high resolution data sources is dramatically enhancing our ability to characterize the earth's surface and thus support process modeling. Remote sensing techniques for deriving high resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) such as Light Detection and Ranging and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar have proven to be particularly successful in support of hydrological and hydraulic model applications. However, the costs for collecting and processing these data types are extremely high and therefore unavailable for large portions of the U.S.

Basset Creek Water Management Commission: Case Study #8, Alternative Dispute Resolution
This case study is one in a series of case studies describing applications of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The case study is part of a Corps program to encourage its managers to develop and utilize new ways of resolving disputes. These case studies are a means of providing Corps managers with examples of how other managers have employed ADR techniques. The information in this case study is designed to stimulate innovation by Corps managers in the use of ADR techniques. Case study, alternative dispute resolution, claims, pros and cons of ADR, decision to use ADR, ADR procedure, settlement, negotiations, evaluation.

Beach & Nearshore Placement of Material Dredged from Federally Authorized Navigation Projects
This report presents a study of various aspects of the beneficial use of sedimentary material, dredged from Federal navigation projects, for the purpose of nourishing beaches or applied otherwise in providing salutary effects on shore erosion problems in the Coastal and Great Lakes regions. Demands in those areas for this particular beneficial use of dredged material will intensify over time given the prevalence of shore erosion problems, increasing population pressures and beach use, and the diminishing availability of upland and estuarial disposal areas for dredged material.

Beach Nourishment with Dredged Material: A Study of the Institutional Constraints to the Use of Dredged Material for Beach Nourishment Purposes on the Seacoasts and Great Lakes Shorelines
This study assesses the contribution of institutional constraints to limiting the use for beach nourishment purposes of material dredged from the navigation projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This Investigationwas limited to Corps navigation projects on the seacaosts and Great Lakes shorelines.

Bechtel National, Inc.; Alternative Dispute Resolution Series Case Study #4
On April 6-10, 1988, Bechtel National Inc. and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Omaha District, used a mini-trial to settle a complex series of claims for $3.7 million. The case consisted of seven separate claims, including those of major subcontractors, totalling, at the time of the mini-trial, $21.2 million including interest. Originally filed in the fall of 1986, the claims arose from modifications and impacts due to incomplete design plans for construction for the Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC) in Colorado. The main points illustrated by this case are: (1) The advantages and disadvantages of subcontractor participation in mini-trials; (2) strategies for managing complex technical information in settlement negotiations; (3) strategies for using working groups to develop components of a settlement agreement; (4) advantages and disadvantages of using decision-makers who are outside the emotional entanglement of the dispute; and (5) opportunities to use neutrals to provide various services.

Beyond Expected Value: Making Decisions Under Risk and Uncertainty
Risk is a characteristic of a situation in which a number of outcomes are possible, the particular one that will occur is uncertain and at least one of the possibilities is undesirable. Much of the work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is involved with managing the risk associated with natural processes, such as flooding and drought. Safety and quality of human life, large amounts of money and environmental issues are all at stake in the decisions made by the Corps relating to the management of natural risks.

Bridge Hydraulic Analysis with HEC-RAS
The HEC-RAS River Analysis System is intended to be the successor to the current steady-flow HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles Program. It will also provide unsteady flow, sediment transport, and hydraulic design capabilities in the future. A single date definition of the river reach and bridge data is used for all modelling methods.This paper provides an overview of HEC-RAS representation of bridge hydraulics and the results of several bridge hydraulics investigation..

Budget Constraints and Decision Making: Development of Policy Guidelines for Planning of Civil Works Programs and Projects
The purpose of this policy study is to determine how the Corps' various planning, development and maintenance programs, the selection of Corps projects, and the decision making criteria regarding these programs and projects should adjust to the prospect of increasing budget constraints. the fundamental research question was: How will severe Federal budget constraints affect the way in which the Corps plans and recommends projects? A corollary question was: How imminent do any requires changes in Corps procedures seem?

Budget Constraints and the Corps Consideration of Public-Private Par tnerships: Where Is the Money Going to Come From?
Federal, local, and state discretionary funds are constrained and are projected downward over the next 50 years. Corps appropriated funds are hard to come by. The Corps also relies on discretionary and cost-sharing funds with state and local governments. This Water Resources Outlook paper considers the expansion of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as a potential solution to Corps financial constraints and a means to improve overall efficiency.

Business Depth - Damage Analysis Procedures
)This research is a comprehensive examination of business depth-damage analysis in the United States. Previous research on business depth damage is detailed, but limited to specific geographic areas within individual Corps of Engineer districts. This study describes and compares these efforts. It describes parameters that significantly affect depth-damage relationships and develops a framework for predicting incidence of business flood damages.
