Damage Reach Stage - Damage Calculation, User's Manual (DAMCAL)
Water resource planners are charged in the plan formulation process to evaluate a broad range of alternative flood damage reduction measures that will provide flood damage relief for existing and future land use conditions. The plan formulation process requires developing alternative means for accomplishing performance targets and selecting from those alternatives the ones which are the most attractive. This necessitates the systematic assessment of the economic value of the proposed alternatives. In such cases it is desirable that alternatives be compared quickly, with the comparisons based on an adopted and consistent methodology

Deciding Whether or Not to Partner Small Projects: A Guide for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Managers: Pamphlet #6, Alternative Dispute Resolution Series
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) began using Partnering, a process that seeks to promote dispute prevention, in construction contracts in 1990. Initially, Partnering was used primarily in large projects. As of early 1992, COE policy is to develop, promote, and practice Partnering on all contracts (Commanders Policy Memorandum #16 on Partnering, February 18, 1992). The use of Partnering in small projects, defined as under $3 million for the purposes of this study, varies greatly among districts. Managers of some districts Partner all small projects; others have chosen not to expend resources for small projects Partnering at all. This guide is for managers who must decide whether or not to Partner a particular small project. It is written as a deliberative tool to foster thought. The tool will not provide you with a definitive answer to the question of whether or not to partner, but rather will offer guidelines and raise key issues to inform your decision. The guide is divided into two sections. Section 1: The Decision to Partner is a how-and-when-to-Partner small projects primer. Section II: Illustrative Case Summaries provides additional information about when and why COE managers have Partnered, or not Partnered, small projects. Section 1 includes a description of Partnering, the 'Should I Partner?' tool and an 'If You Decide to Partner' segment. The 'Should I Partner?' tool includes statements to consider relative to a particular small project in the categories of complexity, coordination, and experience. 'The Should I Partner?' -- Annotated segment links the case summaries to the decision points of the tool. 'If You Decide to Partner', describes key decisions to implement Partnering, including the use of an internal or external facilitator, the length of the Partnering workshop, and the frequency of Partnering meetings. If you do decide to Partner, this

Decision-Making Chronology for the Lake Pontchartrain & Vicinity Hurricane Protection Project
The Hurricane Protection Decision Chronology (HPDC) was commissioned shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States on August 29, 2005. IWR was asked to convene an external HPDC team to collect, record, and analyze project memoranda, reports, and related documentation in order to describe and explain decision-making for the Lake Pontchartrain & Vicinity Hurricane Protection Project (LP&VHPP). The requested report was to provide an explanation, as opposed to an evaluation, of how Corps policies and organization, legislation, and financial and other factors influenced the decisions that led to the LP&VHPP protective structures in place when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. The HPDC focus on project decision-making is intended to complement the engineering forensics investigations on the performance of the LP&VHPP during Katrina, such as those conducted by the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force and other institutions.

Delay Estimation on Congested Waterways
A simulation model has been developed for estimating delays on congested waterways and a numerical method has been developed to approximate the results of the simulatiion model. The structural relations in the numerical method were largely based on exact analytic results from queueing theory while their unknown parameters were estimated statistically with results from the simulation model. The numerical method is valuable for screening improvement alternatives, while the simulation model is valuable for very detailed and accurate analysis. The simulation maoel is microscopic and event scanning. It can accomodate generally distributed trip generations and service times, unequal parallel servers, and random failure effects. Its outputs include tow travel times along waterways, tow delays at each lock, inventory levels, expected stock-out amounts for commodities transported on waterways, and variances of interarrivaland interdeparture times at each lock. The simulation model has been validated in comparisons with established theoretical results and empirical data from the U.S. inlands waterways.

Developing Seasonal and Long-Term Reservoir System Operation Plans Using HEC-PRM
The major intent of this report is to provide guidance for the use of HEC-PRM for seasonal and long-term operation planning. Seasonal and long-term operation planning are fairly different undertakings, in the level of analysis detail, the role of hydrology and uncertainty, and frequency of pilicy revision.Thus the details of setting up, conducting, and interpreting optimization model results can differ significantly between two applications. For both optimization model application, simulation modeling is an important, is not essential, companion.

Development Benefits of Water Resources Investments (Vol. 2 of 2 with Appendices)
This project, in conjunction with the complementary work done at i che
University of Chicago under the direction of Professor George Tolley, has
been focused on the question of the determination and evaluation of developmental
benefits of water resource investments. As such, it represents a
new departure in concepts of analysis for public investment decision making.
In essence, it recognizes that in addition to producing services whose value
to users would be benefits of an investment project, that the project itself
might produce additional changes in the economy of the region in which it
was located that would serve to promote (discourage) economic activities
in that area. In other words, in addition to the value of water resource
services to water service users (primary benefits) it is recognized that
water resource investments might cause an enhancement of a region's economy
by way of inducing the expansion or formation of economic activities in
that area that would not otherwise be expected to develop (secondary benefits).

Development of Prototype Software for Risk-Based Benefit-Cost Analysis of Major Rehabilitation Proposals Phases I and II
This report documents the work done on the enhancement of a prototype simulation model for the risk-based economic analysis of proposals for major rehabilitation projects of Corps of Engineers' facilities during the period from September 1993 through October 1994. The original concept, design, and prototype development of the model began in December 1992 and the initial phase of the work r the building and testing of a Phase I prototype, concluded in August 1993, with an implemented prototype. This work was documented in an unpublished technical report for the Institute for Water Resources, parts of which are abstracted herein. The success of the initial model development, in particular in terms of ease of use, flexibility and speed of operation as compared to existing, spread-sheet based methods, led to the determination to pursue further prototype development. The current work, Phase I I, included additional efforts involving review of existing rehabilitation proposals, enchancement of the model, enhancement of the user interface, and conceptual design and proof-of-concept testing of a model oriented towards navigation projects.

Dredged-Material Disposal Management Model
This formulation represents material sources and available disposal sites as nodes of the network and transportation links and carry-over storage as arcs. Application of the model defines cost-efficient dynamic schemes for allocation of material to available disposal sites. A generalized computer program was developed to define automatically the nodes, arcs and parameters of the arcs of the network, given a description of the dredged-martial disposal system. This software development technique reduces the effort required for subsequent modification of the program to analyze the system capacity-expansion problem.

An ensemble of analytical tools is used to identify capacity expansion alternatives for the Delaware River dredged-material disposal system. Characteristics of the river and riparian area are stored and analyzed with a geographic information system. Site attractiveness maps produced with these data yields an array of potential expansion sites. the least-costly schedule for acquisition of these sites is identified with branch-and-bound enumeration. For the enumeration, the operation cost of alternative expansion plans is evaluated with a network-flow programing model of the disposal system.
