Flood Modeling & Mitigation

A proactive stormwater planning effort seeks to address increasingly flooded roadways, neighborhoods and critical infrastructure as rapid development and intense rain events collide in North Central Texas. The study integrates stormwater, transportation, and environmental planning in an effort to reduce risk in a region growing by 150,000 people per year.

Receive a demonstration of how to get simplified access to hydrologic model functionalities using automated approaches, including accessing and processing the necessary geospatial and climate data, preparing input files for a model by applying complex data preprocessing, and an example case of preparing input data for a hydrologic model.

In this course, over ten years of river restoration/repair case studies are presented.

The City of Aurora, Ohio, completed a stormwater master plan to identify needed improvements to address neighborhood flooding, stream bank erosion and aging infrastructure citywide. With the change in hydrology, the city has seen an increase in flooding in flood-prone areas throughout the community.

Join us for this educational, two-part webinar as prolific speaker Dr. David T. Williams presents examples of subtle misuses of HEC-RAS that could have potentially significant effects on a project’s hydraulic results.

Virginia Beach is among the top ten cities in the country at risk from sea level rise. In 2015, Virginia Beach launched the Comprehensive Sea Level Rise and Recurrent Flooding Capital Improvement Program, which is now known as Sea Level Wise. This session will discuss the effort and its aim to produce information and strategies that enable Virginia Beach to establish long-term resilience to sea level rise and associated recurrent flooding.

Flooding has long been a plague in the City of Brentwood along Deer Creek between Hanley Road and South Brentwood Boulevard with 26 floods since 1957, which caused significant public safety issues and property damage. The Brentwood Bound Project is a comprehensive plan to renew the Manchester Road corridor via three main components to the plan: Deer Creek Flood Mitigation, Manchester Road Improvements, and Deer Creek Greenway Connector.

Join us for this educational, two-part webinar as prolific speaker Dr. David T. Williams presents examples of common geometric mistakes and misunderstandings of bridge parameters using HEC-RAS that could have potentially significant effects on a bridge project’s hydraulic results.

Flagstaff Water Services has integrated real-time asset management with rain and flow gauging, weather radar, and maintenance work requests. This session will describe the integration and how it has been successful not only for community protection but for the city's reporting and compliance requirements.

Discover which preparation methods are low-cost and achieve flood control in an efficient, expedient manner.

1 PDH / 0.1 CEU

This course discusses how climate change impacts stormwater runoff, how to account for these changes in the design of stormwater and flood control facilities, and how secondary effects such as sea level rise indirectly impact stormwater runoff.

0.1 CEU/1 PDH

The first in a series of three courses focusing on the current state of affairs along our developed coast, strategy that is needed to meet these challenges, and some of the tough decisions that will need to be made regarding protecting certain coastal areas while abandoning others.

1.0 PDH / 0.1 CEU

Traditional responses to rising seas and coastal erosion have been largely defensive in nature.  Sea walls, coastal revetment and breakwaters have been constructed all up and down the American coastline.

1.0 PDH / 0.1 CEU

We have built up many coastal areas that are totally unsuitable for human occupation.  Now, as sea levels rise and storm impacts increase, these regions face agonizing decisions.
