Recent Trends in Output, Industrial Organization, and the Willingness to Pay in the United States Inland Waterborne Commerical Transportation Industry
Nets activity Recent Trends in Output, Industrial Organization, and the Willingness to Pay in the United States Inland Waterborne Commerical Transportation Industry. An analysis of publicly available historic data regarding the domestic inland water transportation industry reveals a national industry best characterized by: (1) historically decreasing rates of growth in total industry output culminating in the current virtual stagnation of long term industry output levels; (2) continuing intra-industry, horizontal integration of inland water transportation providers leading to an increased concentration of industry market power into a handful of national carriers; and (3) slowly decreasing real levels of marginal willingness to pay for water transportation as evidenced by the declining real revenues per unit of output publicly reported by inland water transportation firms. Together, these three trends have profound implications for the Corps of Engineers management of the existing inland navigation system infrastructure and raise questions regarding the wisdom of planning for and implementing costly carrying capacity expanding improvements in the near future. In the current Federal fiscal environment with many competing demands for scarce Federal budget resources, these three trends also suggest a rationalization of the performance of underutilized segments of the existing infrastructure in the context of the net current national economic benefits they contribute.

Regional Development Impacts Linear Programming Economic Base Model (LPEB)
The overall objective of this manual is to outline a methodology which can be used to assess economic development impacts which may be generated from water development projects such as the construction and operation of waterways, recreational facilities, ports, and water impoundments. The methodology uses linear programming to estimate industrial output with and without a water resources project. The LP model estimates the impact of lowered production costs, which result from a project. Economic base modeling is used to generate estimates of the indirect impacts on industries which are affected by the increases of output in the directly affected industries.

Regional Economic Development Impact Model: Phase I Study, Final Report
A multiregional variable input-output (MRVIO) model is introduced to investigate the impact of a change in transportation costs on regional development and trade flows. The MRVIO model is a theoretically well-founded, practically useful, and policy sensitive model. The regional technical coefficients and the trade coefficients are endogenous variables to the MRVIO model. These coefficients are sensitive to the transportation costs as well as other input costs. Each industry is assumed to have a linear logarithm production frontier with a constant return to scale. From the dual relation we obtain the profit maximizing price frontiers. These prices are expressed in terms of transportation costs, wage rates, capital prices, input elasticities, and technical coefficients and the trade coefficients. Using the 1963 three-region, ten-sector interindustry flow data as a base, we investigated the impact of a change in transportation costs on trade structure, regional growth, and inflation. As expected, a decrease in transportation costs increases the input coefficients between the regions and decreases own trade coeffiicents; i.e., the purchases from other regions increase and the purchase from local markets decrease as the costs of transportation decrease. A decrease in transportation cost stimulates the regional development. However, its sensitivity differs among industries.

Regional Sediment Management: Background and Overview of Initial Implementation
This report describes the concept of "regional sediment management" (RSM), its background and application within the Corps, and issues associated with its implementation in the future. (Application within the Corps is based primarily on district experiences from an ongoing RSM demonstration program). The need for RSM is based on recognition of the regional implications of dredging and other activities in the littoral zone, as well as the appreciation for sand as a resource - much as water is a resource experiencing competing demands, along with both quantity and quality issues. RSM is an approach for managing projects involving sand and other sediments that incorporates many of the principles of integrated watershed resources management, applying them primarily in the context of coastal watersheds1. It also supports many of the recommendations identified by interagency working groups on improving dredged material management. Examining RSM implementation through demonstration efforts can provide lessons not only on improved business practices, techniques and tools necessary for managing resources at regional scales, but also on roles and relationships important to integrated water resources management.

Regionalization in the Context of Multi-Objective Planning and Evaluation
Regional and River Basin evaluation practices currently utilized by Federal planning agencies have been reviewed by a special Task Force of the Water Resources Council (WRC) and the review has resulted in the formulation of a recommended set of "Procedures for Evaluation of Water and Related Land Resource Projects. IV Fundamental in these recommended changes is the concept of planning within the context of four broad objectives. These broad objectives (or multiobjectives) are: (1) national economic development, (2) environmental quality, (3) social well-being and (4) regional development. Preparation of "Procedures ...." was achieved by means of an initial report, followed by wide discussion in public hearings and field testing, resulting in critical reviews by Federal, State and local agencies, private and academic interests.

Report of Engineering Division's Blue Ribbon Committee: Maintaining Technical Engineering Capability in Engineering Divisions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Technical engineering capability is the heart of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. By technical Engineering capability the ommittee means: the ability to design and manage the production of technical engineering designs and engineering services in a professional, timely, and cost-effective manner. For over 200 years, such design has been the Corps' professional public signature in a variety of military and civil works projects. More recently, the Chief of Engineer's White Paper has reaffirmed the Corps' ommitment to maintaining necessary in-house capability to respond to national disasters, sudden increases in workload and mobilization construction. In the past, technical capability to produce engineering designs has centered in Engineering Divisions throughout the Corps. Today, resource imitations, internal organizational alignments and external social trends threaten the technical capability of both ngineering Divisions and the total Corps to perform assigned design and construction missions.

Resource Significance: A New Perspective for Environmental Project Planning
Resource significance is one of the metrics used in the decision making process of selecting environmental projects for implementation. The theory being that the more "significant" resources, as defined in Institutional, Technical, and Public parameters, will be carried into the implementation phase of project planning. This report provides a brief discussion of the sources for determining resource significance. It also provides summary statistics of 95 programs developed for purposes of ranking projects based on certain levels of significance. Among these are Federal, Regional, State, Nonprofit and Historical programs. The report presents summaries of selected existing programs that can assist in the identification and description of the significance of environmental resources. Included are discussions of models for prioritizing National and Regional environmental resource priorities as well as models which use established sets of scientific or TECHNICAL criteria, INSTITUTIONAL criteria, PUBLIC support or opinion and models which promote interagency cooperation to establish environmental resource priorities.

Review and Evaluation of Programs for Determining Significance and Prioritization of Environmental Resources
This report presents summary abstracts of ninety-five Federal, regional, state and nonprofit organization programs that evaluate environmental projects and/or determine the significance of, or prioritize environmental resource areas or activities_ The abstracts present information on the programs's goals and objectives; the types of activities associated with the program; the sources of priority recognition; and the process of determining the "significance" of environmental resources, or which environmental resources deserve a level of priority for mitigation protection, or restoration efforts. A comparative analysis of these programs was conducted to facilitate some generalizations about the determination of national and regional resource priorities, the bases for determination of significance, and the potential applicability of the process or products to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' environmental program.

Review of GIS Applications in Hydrologic Modeling
The use of computers in hydrologic analysis has become so wa esprea that it provides the primary source of data for decision making for many hydrologic engineers. Since so much of hydrology is linked to processes at the earth's surface, the connection to the topographic, computer-based methodology known as the geographic information system (GIS) is a predictable step in the evolution of hydrologic engineering. As with many other exercises in computer representations of reality, applications of GIS for the purpose of aiding hydrologic modeling are subject to the skeptical classification of "interesting toys." The purpose of this review is to delineate and assess the progress made in the development of GIS applications in hydrology.

(A)Review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Selection & Evaluation Process for Water Resources Development
The report presents findings from a review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' selection and evaluation criteria for water resources development projects. The review was requested by Congress in Section 719 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (PL-662). The report identifies the importance of various factors in the selection and evaluation process and their potential bias against rural areas and areas with greater percentages of low-income individuals. Findings are based on a conceptual review and a survey of 489 Corps studies and projects in various stages of the selection and evaluation process.

Revitalization of Corps of Engineers Projects
The Corps presently has stewardship responsibility for operation and maintenance of about 1,600 projects, and has oversight and inspection responsibilities for hundreds of local flood damage reduction (LFDR) projects for which local governmental agencies have assumed operation and maintenance responsibility. The aging of many of these projects generates concerns that some projects may no longer be, or need to be, serving the purposes for which they were authorized and developed; and, that other projects may not be meeting changing needs and opportunities. The study focused on the varying capabilities of these projects to meet changing water and related land resources needs and priorities, and on the adequacy of present policies and statutory authorities to ensure improved responsiveness.

Risk Analysis Framework for Cost Estimation
This report is a product of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Risk Analysis for Water Resources Investments Research Program managed by the Institute for Water Resources. This report documents research investigating the possibilities of incorporating risk analysis techniques into the Corps' cost estimating processes. The general purpose of this report was to identify the concept of uncertainties that are inherent in the production of a project cost estimate and how the application of risk and uncertainty techniques can serve to manage staff and decision-makers with improved information. The case study is key in illustrating how these general concepts can be adapted and applied to a specific project. The idea is that although each individual Civil Works project is different from any other, the same theoretical concepts can be applied to the specific features of any project by Corps knowledge in their field about the project being planned. Therefore, the goal of this report is not only to illustrate the presence of uncertainties and their potential effects, but also to show Corps field and headquarters personnel of the feasibility and benefits of researching, refining, and adopting such analytical procedures in actual practice.

(A)River, A Region and a Research Problem
This research was undertaken in an effort to develop a theoretical framework of an empirically feasible procedure for assessing the broad economic, social, political and environmental impact of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Multiple Purpose Project. The report presents a methodology for projecting the efficient location of water related industry via regional linear programming. The spatial general equilibrium approach allows an analysis of the without condition, generally intractable in expost analysis. Methodology for analyzing other social, political and environmental impacts are advanced, with less empirical and comprehensive theoretical content. Yet the strategy of general equilibrium analysis is maintained.

Runoff Prediction Uncertainty for Ungauged Agricultural Watersheds
A common approach to deriving flood-flow-frequency curves for an ungauged watershed is to simulate a design storm with an event-oriented watershed model. As with most models, a significant problem with this approach. is model parameter estimation. One approach to the problem is to estimate watershed model parameters from generally available information such as topographic maps and soil maps. Probably the most difficult part of the problem is estimating loss rates from this type of information.

Runoff Simulation Using Radar Rainfall Data
This approach has been of practical value because data available from typical sparse rain-Gage network are generally inadequate to justify more spatially detailed simulation methods. The availability of new generation radar rainfall data enhances the attractiveness of distributed simulation approaches that take into account spatial variations of rainfall and watershed characteristics.
