Making More Informed Decisions in Your Watershed When Dollars Aren't Enough
Decisions regarding potential investments in watershed resources can leave decision makers comparing "apples to oranges" when the costs of watershed improvements are measurable in dollars but the benefits are not. While traditional benefit-cost analysis simply won't work in these situations, the tools of
cost effectiveness analysis and incremental cost analysis can help by providing information to support
decision making. This paper presents a general analytical procedure for cost effectiveness and incremental cost analyses ans three example applications. The examples demonstrate the procedures applicability to planning for investments in a variety of resources, as well as to problem solving situations of different complexities.

Maritime Transportation System: Trends and Outlook
USACE major responsibilities for waterborne commerce include dredging, development and maintenance of the inland and coastal waterways and related maritime infrastructure, and navigation aids. A firm understanding of marine transportation conditions and trends is critical in discharging those responsibilities. The U.S. Maritime Transportation System (MTS) no longer exists in isolation, but must interact with ports, land carriers, customers, communities, environmental restrictions and security concerns. This second in a series of Water Resources Outlook papers is intended to develop an understanding of the challenges faced by the MTS over the next 30 years and suggests roles for the private and governmental sectors, including the Corps. It is intended to provide a strong, fact-based foundation for policy, planning and priorities.

McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System - Hydroelectric Power Generation
This report presents an analysis of the hydroelectric generating facilities
in the McClellan-Kerr River Project. Installed capacity of the federal
installations total 639 megawatts. Economic and financial questions of
production and marketing are examined (the power is sold by a federal agenc ,
the Southwestern Power Administration). Due to the rising cost of other
fuels, the power benefits are expected to rise from a project justification
estimate of $14 million to over $40 million. However, benefits are not as high as possible, primarily due to poor marketing practices by the SPA.
There are also several problems in the cost allocation formula used to rate
the on-going return on investment to the Federal Government for each dam
taken individually.

Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of Employment Generation Benefits of a Public Water Resource Development Project in Appalachia
The study seeks (1) to develop a method of measuring the employment generation benefits
from a federal water resource investment in a depressed area, (2) to relate such
benefits to the social cost and economic benefit-cost ratio, and (3) to analyze the
sensitivity of employment generation benefits to various types and locations of water
project investment within areas designated as depressed regions. The Upper Licking
River project in the Appalachian portion of Kentucky was chosen as the study area.
- The study carefully examines the sensitivity of a variety of assumptions about the
character of the location in which projects are constructed, the composition of the
demands for labor and materials in various types of engineering alternatives and
various patterns of response by otherwise unemployed factors of production.
The report concludes that conventional B/C analysis should encompass the utilization
of otherwise unemployed resources, that those impacts should extend to the analysis
of economic development induced by the project, that those benefits from utilization
vary greatly with the type and location of the project with respect to the distributior
of idle resources, with demand functions of production and the response pattern of
idle resources to incremental demand. Finally and most importantly, the report concludes
that public water resource investment decisions should be more discriminating
to the type and location of investments. This requires investigation of the foregone
benefits from alternative types and location of water projects and from competing
public works projects.

(A)Methodology for Assessing Economic Risk of Water Supply Shortages
This report develops a procedure for estimating income losses, to a defined region, associated with varying degrees of water shortage resulting in a frequency-loss
function. An empirical list of the procedure was developed for the York, Pennsylvania Water Service Area, which experienced a substantial water shortage in 1966. Study of community response to actual or potential drouth reveals a number of different perspectives - the water manager, residential, commercial and industrial users and government. This study opens the way to an alternative method of assessing the benefits for adequate municipal water supplies; it distinguishes between short-run and long-run plans; and the role which each plays in resource planning.

(A)Methodology for Planning Land Use and Engineering Alternatives for Floodplain Management: The Value of Land in Alternative Urban Uses
The report presents a methodology by which the consequences
(mainly economic in nature) of choosing various flood plain management
alternatives may be evaluated so as to achieve a stated set of objectives.
The methodology is commonly known as a trade-off analysis. It is
illustrated by two case studies, one for the Reno, Nevada area, and
the other in the Tuscon, Arizona area. The scale and depth of these
case studies was not sufficient for making decisions among actual
alternative plans and, although "optimal" plans emerge in each case
from the application of the methodology, these "optimal" plans are
illustrations which relate only in a general way to actual situations
in the areas studied and are thus not the proper basis for specific
regional decisions.

Microcomputer Applications in Planning Catalog
In 1985, the US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Institute for Water Resources (IWR)
performed a study entitled "Needs Assessment of Corps Planning Information Management
Systems". This study was directed at exploring the methods by which "planning managers"
within the Corps used microcomputers for management of planning studies. As an outgrowth and 'follow-on' to the previous study, the
current study, "A Process for Managing Corps Planning Information" was carried out by
IWR in 1986-1987. This study was directed towards enhancing information transfer within
the Corps, through development of an 'applications catalog' of Corps- developed planning
management microcomputer applications, and towards improving the management of
microcomputer resources, in particular in terms of developing and maintaining microcomputer applications. This catalog of Microcomputer Applications in Planning is one of the
products of the study.

(The)Mini-Trial: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Pamphlet 1
This pamphlet describes the mini-trial, one of a number of alternative dispute resolution techniques which the US Army Corps of Engineers is using in an effort to reduce the number of disputes requiring litigation. The pamphlet describes what the technique is, how it has been used, and then provides guidance on how to go about conducting the mini-trial process. What is a Mini-Trial? First of all, a mini-trial isn't a trial. There's no judge nor lengthy procedures. Decisions are reached quickly and made by managers who have managerial and, often, technical skills, not by third parties such as judges. In fact, the mini-trial is a structured form of negotiated settlement. All parties enter into a mini-trial voluntarily, and any party can drop out when it wants to. A mini-trial is successful when there is a mutual agreement. (kr)

Modified-Puls Routing in Chuquatonchee Creek
This report describes the application of modified-plus for evaluating the relative accuracy of flood routing methods to a natural river. The modified-plus method has at its core the postulate that storage depends only on outflow rate. the relationship S is presumed known for the reach of interest and for the range of outflow to be encountered. The hope that the method will yield at least approximately correct outflow hydrographs rests on the assumption that the storage depends primarily, if not only, on outflow rate. If only certain features of the outflow hydrograph, such as peak and time of peak, are desired with reasonable precision, then the dependence of S on 0 perhaps could be relaxed further, with dependence existing only for some particularly important range of 0.

Modifying Reservoir Operations to Improve Capabilities for Meeting Water Supply Needs During Drought
Reallocation of storage capacity between purpose and other modifications in the operation of existing reservoirs is an going consideration to meet future water supply needs. Conversion of storage capacity from water quality, hydroelectric power, or flood control to municipal and industrial water supply is of particular interest. Recent drought conditions experienced over large sections of the nation have focused attention on optimizing the effectiveness of single reservoirs and reservoir systems for meeting project purposes.

Monetary Measurement of Environmental Goods and Services: Framework and Summary of Techniques for Corps Planners
This report provides information on the potential applicability and use of monetary measurement techniques (also referred to herein as economic benefits estimation or valuation techniques) for environmental project planning studies within the Corps of Engineers' Civil Works Program. As will be discussed further below, in some cases it may be possible and desirable to estimate the monetary benefits associated with certain environmental outputs provided by ecosystem
restoration projects. The purpose of this report is to help project planners better understand what tools are available for estimating the monetary benefits of environmental outputs, when they may be
technically appropriate to use, and their potential resource requirements in the ecosystem restoration context.
This report attempts to address these information gaps by providing Corps planners with a
summary of selected economic valuation techniques and their resource requirements, and a
framework for evaluating their potential applicability and use for ecosystem restoration project planning. A forthcoming "Procedures Manual" will provide more detailed information on the
evaluation and potential use of these tools for planning purposes. That manual will link the information contained in this report with information from other reports prepared as part of the
EEIRP Monetary and Other Valuation Techniques Work Unit, as well as the Corps' National Economic Development Procedures Manual Series.

Multiobjective Risk Partitioning: An Application to Dam Safety Risk Analysis
Risk, a measure of the probability and severity of adverse events, has commonly been measure by the traditional Bayesian expected value approach. While a reasonable measure for some cases, the expected value approach is inadequate and may lead to fallacious conclusions when applied to risk associated with extreme and catastrophic events and where public policy issues are involved. Furthermore, risk analysis is often divided into two components: risk assessment of hazards, both natural and technological, and risk management options designed to solve or ameliorate a hazardous situation.

(A)Muskingum-Cunge Channel Flow Routing for Drainage Networks
A Muskingum-Cunge channel flow routing scheme is modified for application to large drainage networks with compound cross section and for continuous long-term simulation. The modifications consists of a decoupling and separate routing of main and over-bank channel flow, an introduction of a variable time step to increase model efficiency during periods of steady flow, and an interval determination of the numerical increment. The resulting hydrologic model is verified by comparing its flow routing results with those of hydraulic benchmark models solving the full unsteady flow equations. Test conditions consist of hypothetical flood hydrograph, long prismatic channels with simple and compound sections, and a third order drainage network. For the tested conditions, the model produces hydrograph peaks, times to peak and shapes that compare well with those of the hydraulic benchmarks. Hydrograph distortions due to overbank floodplain storage and multiple peaks from magnitude faster that that of the hydraulic benchmark models.
