ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS: Evaluations of Flood Risk Management Projects Could Benefit from Increased Transparency

Abstract

The Corps, among other things, constructs flood risk management projects to reduce flood damage in threatened communities nationwide in collaboration with nonfederal sponsors. The Corps prepares feasibility studies to inform decision makers whether a proposed project warrants federal investment. In the studies, the Corps formulates and evaluates alternative plans for achieving the projects objectives and assesses whether the benefits of constructing it outweigh its costs.
