Patterns in Geographic Elasticity Estimates of Barge Demand on the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers
NETS activity Patterns in Geographic Elasticity Estimates of Barge Demand on the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. This paper investigates patterns in the demand for barge transportation
along the inland waterway system. Non-parametric techniques including both rolling regression and locally weighted regressions are used to visually analyze the pattern of elasticity estimates along the river at the pool level. The results of these non-parametric approaches visually indicate that barge demand elasticity may be more elastic on both the southern and northern reaches of the river, while being more inelastic toward the center of the waterway system. Based on the non-parametric analysis, higher order elasticity terms are used to parametrically investigate the pattern of elasticity along the inland waterway system. Using the parametric approach, the same patterns of elasticity arise
wherein demands are relatively more elastic on the northern and southern ends of the waterway system and relatively less elastic in the center.

PC-FINPACK Version 1.010 Documentation Report
The overall purpose of this report is to provide an overview of PC-FINPACK which is a computerized financial analysis and simulation model for water supply and waste water disposal facilities. The rationale underlying the use of financial simulation models is often the assumption that firms' managers wish to maintain a given ratio of debt to equity in the firm's balance sheet. The major postulate of the PC-FINPACK rationale (an extension of the aforesaid debt-to-equity rationale) is that the constancy of the ratio of Total Operating revenues to Total Assets is an appropriate basis for financial simulation analysis of the ccounting data for water supply and waste water disposal facilities. Development of PC-FINPACK was funded by the Partners for nvironmental Progress (PEP) Program, and implemented by the U.S. Army Engineer Institute for Water Resources to support Corps analysts in their conduct of financial analyses of projects that public sponsors are preliminarily considering for privatization.

Performance Measurement for the National Performance Review (NPR), Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and Army Performance Improvement Criteria (APIC)
This book is about measuring
organizational performance. It is the only one of its kind in that it serves as one comprehensive resource reference written specifically for measuring government performance irrespective of the mission. It goes well beyond the use of numbers and indexes to quantify resource inputs, efficiency, productivity, programs, output and outcomes. What struck me the most when writing it was the degree of overlap between the various subjects covered. The material is very holistic in character in that the subjects covered emulate a tightly knit web. For example, it was not possible to write about improvement in "program performance" by focusing solely on program-related activity mprovements. An organization is a system; a group of processes and a cluster of complex, integrated and interdependent activities. Trying to improve one element in isolation without working on the entire system is like rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic--the end results will be the same.

Performance Measures to Assess the Benefits of Shared Vision Planning and Other Collaborative Modeling Processes
Collaborative modeling has evolved as an approach to support water resources planning since the Institute for Water Resources (IWR) pioneered the Shared Vision Planning (SVP) approach in the early 1990s through the National Drought Study. To date, however, the benefits of collaborative modeling and similar approaches have not been explicitly evaluated. In 2007, IWR set out to develop performance measures to address this need. This report summarizes the work that has been completed to develop a suite of performance measures. The report presents background information on SVP and collaborative modeling processes, describes the activities conducted to identify performance measures, describes the measures, and discusses methodological considerations for applying the measures retrospectively and prospectively to evaluate the benefits of collaborative modeling in completed and active cases.

(A)Perspective on Flood Protection of Agricultural Lands
This report summarizes conclusions of the major studies of world food demand
and products, surveys program level data on the status of rural lands in the
Corps of Engineers flood control programs and investigates data and methodology
employed to evaluate the effect of drainage and flood control measures.
Key findings are that increased pressure can be expected for food and feed
grains in export markets and that alluvial soils are highly competitive producers.
Total areas of irrigated and reclaimed agricultural wetlands will increase, with almost 50% of the wetland conversions projected to occur in the
South Atlantic Gulf, Lower Mississippi and the Tennessee Water Resource
Regions.

Physical and Economic Feasibility of Nonstructural Flood Plain Management Measures
The purpose of this study is to examine the physical and economic feasibility of a number of nonstructural flood control measures and develop criteria for their use. Eleven such measures are selected; this report evaluates their overall physical and economic feasibility. The measures stud ies are: temporary and permanent closures for openings in existing structures;
raising existing structures; construction of new structures on fill or columns; small walls or levees around structures;
relocating or protecting damageable property; relocating existing structures and/or contents out of a flood hazard area; flood
forecast, warning and evacuation; use of water resistant materials in construction; regulation of development of flood plain
land through zoning ordinances, subdivision, regulations and building codes; public acquisition of title or easement to flood
plain land; and flood insurance. Cost estimates, advantages, disadvantages and references are provided for each measure.
A sensitivity analysis of flood damage in relation to various hydrologic, hydraulic, and economic parameters was conducted. These parameters include elevation-frequency relationship, frequency 'skew', depth-damage relationship, value
of structure contents as a percentage of the value of a structure, type of structure, and location in the flood plain. The
effectiveness of selected nonstructural measures was then evaluated by computing the damage reduced for several levels of protection. It was found that nonstructuralmeasures have an important role along side structural measures in reducing flood
losses. Every measure investigated was found to be physically and economically feasible in some flood hazard situation, and particular applications and limitations were identified.

Plan Formulation and Evaluation Studies - A Generalized Recreation Day Use Planning Model Volume V
This report presents refined procedural guidelines for estimating reservoir recreation use and benefits for planning of water resources developments. The general planning model described and tested herein consists of the development of regional estimators for predicting recreation use at proposed reservoir projects and the operation on these estimators to derive the individual project demand schedules for estimating recreation benefits. The methodology presented is theoretically and empirically more precise thanestimating procedures currently employed and is consistent with other existing and proposed authoritative standards for evaluating water resource development.

Plan Formulation and Evaluation Studies - A Preliminary Analysis of Day Use Recreation and Benefit Estimation Models for Selected Reservoirs Volume III
This report presents a methodology for estimating recreation use and recreation benefits at existing and proposed Corps of Engineers reservoirs. It is the outgrowth of recreation use studies studies instituted by the Office of the Chief of Engineers, Washington, D.C. Multiple linear regression analysis is employed to develop two regional day use estimating models from recreation use survey data collected at nineteen Corps reservoirs in the Fort Worth and Sacramento U.S. Army Engineer Districts. The estimators developed should be applicable for estimating day use at most existing or proposed Corps reservoirs within these regions. The "travel-cost" model, which employs a "proxy for price" to derive demand schedules from the regional estimators, is presdented. The model is illustrated by deriving demand schedules for the study reservoirs and estimating their recreation benefits. The methodology presented is of considerably greater scope and intensity than other estimating procedures in current use and yields reasonable and useful results. Further improvements and refinements to the technique should result as additional recreation use data are collected and analyzed.

Plan Formulation and Evaluation Studies - Estimating Initial Reservoir Recreation Use Volume II
This report presents methodology for estimating initial recreationuse at prospective Corps of Engineers reservoirs. It is the outgrowth of recreation-use studies instituted by the Office of the Chief of Engineers, Washington, DC.
The procedure described utilizes the "most similar project" concept; i.e., an existing reservoir that is most comparable in size, operation, and anticipated recreation-use characteristics. Relating recreation-use information from an existing reservoir to a reservoir under study provides the basis for the use estimating technique.
The report provides general descriptions, pertinent project information, and recreation-use data for 52 existing Corps reservoirs. It includes detailed discussion and evaluation of a prospective reservoir project and general criteria for selecting a similar project from among those reservoirs included. For illustrative purposes, an example detailing the application of the methodology is furnished. While the methodology eliminates much of the "guess work" previously associated with estimating the recreation use and benefits for Corps reservoir projects, it is emphasized that it is by no means the "last word" or final solution. There are inherent deficiencies in the method. However, as more recreation-use data are collected and analyzed, it is planned that the technique will be revised and improved.

Planning and Evaluating Restoration of Aquatic Habitats from An Ecological Perspective
This report describes important ecological processes and characteristics that should
be considered when restoring aquatic and marine habitats. It is written for engineers, planners, and managers who do not have extensive backgrounds in ecology and for biologists new to habitat restoration. The purpose of the report is to foster discussions within multidisciplinary planning teams, not take the place of those discussions. Detailed. local knowledge and experience is the best source of information for planning habitat restoration projects. and learns of individuals that collectively have broad ranges of expertise are the best project planners (NRC 1992). Chapters 1 through 4 cover ecological issues relevant to most restoration projects, regardless of habitat type, and should be useful to all readers. Chapter 5 is divided into sections based on ecosystems; readers may want to focus only on the ecosystem-specific discussions relevant to their work.

This pamphlet introduces you to the manner in which a planner approaches, analyzes and solves a problem. It shows you an approach to problem solving that differs little from the basic approach
you used to decide what to do about being hungry this morning. And just who is a planner? It's anyone who is deliberately trying to solve a problem or achieve an objective. That means planning is done by people throughout your organization, not just in the Planning office.

Port Efficiency and Trade Flows
NETS Port Development, Internal Transport Systems and International Trade Report. Growing international trade and increasing congestion focus attention on trade
facilitation. Ocean ports are a central and necessary component in facilitating trade.
Yet, there is only limited comprehensive information available on the efficiency of
ports, much less evidence of the effect of port efficiency on trade. We develop and apply a straightforward approach to estimate port efficiency. The approach uses detailed data on U.S. imports and associated import costs, yielding estimates across ports, products, and time. These measures are incorporated into a gravity trade model where we estimate that improved port efficiency significantly increases trade volumes.

(A)Preliminary Assessment of Corps of Engineers' Reservoirs, Their Purposes and Susceptibility to Drought
A study undertaken to evaluate the future performance of various flood control alternatives on the Arkansas River near La Junta, CO. The major study component was the application of HEC-6 to simulate long term changes in the stream profile. A complicating factor was the existence of eleven major irrigation diversions and fours tributaries in the 100 mile long study reach. This paper describes the development of representative data for the long term analysis, operation of the model, calibration and simulation strategies employed, interpretative of model results and computation aspect of this application.

Preliminary Review and Analysis of Flood Control Project Evaluation Procedures
This study clarifies the economic consequences and effects of programs designed to
protect or otherwise manage flood plains. A firm basis is established to appropriately
distinguish between the source of change of a flood plain development
from its economic effects. Alternative techniques for the measurement of benefits
is presented. The study makes the following major findings:
1. Where the development in the flood plain will be the same with and
without the project, benefits attributable to the project will equal total
damages reduced.
2. Where there is project induced growth, the benefits attributable to
the project are equal to the net increase in productivity of the economy due to
the relocation of activities both inside and outside the flood plain.
3. Benefits from project induced growth (so-called "land enhancement"
benefits) can be measured by the difference between the net income (profits)
of activities which move into the flood plain with protection and the net income
they could earn outside the flood plain.
4. In the absence of direct observation of change in net income, benefits
from project induced growth can be measured in terms of simulating damages reduced
to new activities that would locate in the flood plain with protection.

Probable Maximum Flood Estimation - Eastern United States
I n 1982, the National Weather Service (NWS) published criteria for developing
the spatial and temporal precipitation distribution characteristics of
Probable Maximum Storms. The criteria, which are int~nded for use in the
United States east of the 105th meridian, involve four variables: (1) location
of the storm center. (2) storm-area size, (3) storm orientation, and (4) temporary arrangement of precipitation amount. A computer program has been developed which applies the NWS criteria to produce hyetographs of spatially averageraged precipitation for a basin, or for each subbasin if the basin is subdivided. The basis and operational characteristics of the
program are described, and an application is illustrated in which the program is used in conjunction with a precipitation-runoff simulation prog~am (HEC-l) to compute a Probable Maximum Flood.

Procedural Guidelines for Estimating Residential and Business Structure Value for Use in Flood Damage Estimations
This report documents alternative procedures for determining
residential and business structure value and the applicability of
each of those methods for use by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in
flood damage reduction studies. Reproduction cost, replacement
value, depreciated replacement value, market value, and income
capitalization methods are described and analyzed. The report reviews each method to determine its consistency with the National
Economic Development benefit standard and Corps of Engineer procedures for evaluating damages. Practical considerations are detailed for the application of suggested valuation methods. Alternative procedures are detailed for application based on budget and
time considerations as well as the availability and usefulness of
existing data. The report includes information on sample design and
consideration for conducting structure valuation as part of a risk based analysis.

Project Planning in Collaboration with Government Entities - Practical Approaches
This handbook explores ways that the Corps District planner can identify opportunities to collaborate throughout all phases of the planning process. The handbook briefly touches on collaborative activities across Federal agencies, at the regional level, and at the project level in order to inform the District planner that these resources are available for use. The handbook also encourages the District planner to initiate collaborative activities with others as appropriate during the planning process to produce plans that cross Federal agency missions and authorities. Cost-sharing among collaborating partners is also discussed.

Public Involvement in the Corps of Engineers Planning Process
This report discusses the design, implementation and management of public
involvement programs as integral parts of the Corps of Engineers water
resources planning process. The approach to program development suggested
relies on several key concepts; first that planning should be viewed as consisting
of several sequential stages, each of which has a definable Output and
therefore represents an implicit or explicit decision point; second, that
public involvement programs can and should be approached on a stage-by-stage basis; third, that there should be public checkpoints at the end of each stage
to provide the public and the reviewing elements of the Corps with citizen
inrit as to the adequacy and responsiveness of the planning to date; fourth,
that these public checkpoints are not in themselves adequate, but are only the
culmination of active participation during each planning stage by limited
segments of the public; and fifth, that decision-making responsive to public
concerns requires the explicit consideration of public input before key
dezisions are made at each state. The report includes chapters on developing
public involvement programa,forumsfor obtaining citizen input, guidelines
for developing public information programs, monitoring and evaluation of
programs, and staff organization and budgeting for public involvement
activities.

Public Involvement Techniques: A Reader of Ten Years Experience at the Institute for Water Resources
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was signed into law on January 1, 1970. This was a fitting
symbol heralding the changes which would sweep through water resources decision making and management in the decade of the seventies. No decade in recent memory has produced such rapid and fundamental changes in water resources policies, procedures, and operations. NEPA required that planners conduct a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impacts of proposed Federal actions to insure that these
impacts were given adequate consideration in agency decisions. The U.S. Water Resources Council (WRC) issued Principles and Standards for water resources planning which established two equal national objectives;
economic development and environmental quality. In addition, the Principles and Standards further deemphasized the traditional focus on primarily economic decision variables, by establishing an evaluation
framework consisting of four accounts--national economic development, environmental quality, regional economic development and social well-being. These changes in the traditional "ground rules" for water
resource development prompted fundamental and far-reaching responses by Federal water resource agencies.

Public Participation in Designing Our Environmental Future: Working Paper #7, Alternative Dispte Resolution Series
A new democratic spirit and a new ecological spirit are two of the most powerful transformational forces in today's world. The interaction between these forces is driving much change in industrialized, reindustrializing, and even third world countries. The democratic spirit calls us to individual freedom, empowerment and transformation. The ecological spirit calls us to a new collective consciousness, collective restraint and a new relationship with nature. But will these forces work to bring people together or to create more adversarial relations? Both spirits confront us with a complexity at a time when increasingly we are mesmerized by 60-second sound bites. Both spirits confront us with new responsibilities to understand and accept uncertainty at a time when we in the industrialized world seem constantly to seek a risk- free environment. At a time when people complain about government and bureaucracy, it seems that both spirits confront us with dependence on technical experience and the concomitant increases in bureaucracy and regulation. Both spirits call us to anticipate and to employ long term vision. At the same time, we seem to be inextricably pushed by rapid rates of change into a short- term focus. In North America, we have been adapting traditional democratic institutions to the often conflicting challenges presented by these forces. Here in Central and Eastern Europe, you are responding to similar challenges while also experiencing a revolution in decision making institutions.

Public Participation in Water Resources Planning
Public concern over the use of the nation's natural resources has led to increased
citizen participation in the public works planning process. This report focuses on
the development of water resources in relation to the role of the planner in
communicating and interacting with the publics in planning. It describes the
institutional and behavioral aspects of planning as a process of social change,
offers a descriptive model of the planning process, and with this as a framework
discusses methods and approaches for developing public participation in planning
studies. Six public participation program objectives are set forth to guide the
organization of citizen involvement in planning studies. Initially, the planners
should identify concerned local interests and establish working relationships with
them in order to legitimize the study. A number of methods for working with the
public are described, including information campaigns, sample surveys, group advocacy,
informal contact with local interests, community workshops, citizens' committees,
special task forces, public inquiries, and public hearings. The use of a factor
profile is discussed as a method for presenting, discussing and evaluating the
social, environmental and community effects, together with the economic effects of
alternative planning proposals.

Public Workshops on the Puget Sound and Adjacent Waters Study: An Evaluation (with Appendices)
Public demands for a greater role in decisions concerning the use of the nation's
natural resources have led planners to the adoption of various methods for public
participation in the water resources planning process. This report documents one of
the early efforts to involve the public in a comprehensive basin study--the Puget
Sound and Adjacent Waters Study in the State of Washington. The study, conducted by -
a Task Force of the Pacific Northwest River Basins Commission, used as the public
participation mechanisms a series of public workshops designed to enable public review
of the planning documents and to give local interests an opportunity to recommend
changes to the preliminary findings of the Puget Sound Task Force. The report is
largely a case study, describing the background of the study and the factors leading
to the decision to conduct the workshops, a description of the organization and
functioning of the workshops, and an evaluation of their success in meeting the goals
for which they were established.
