Flood-Control Channel National Inventory

Abstract

A survey of flood-control project design procedures and related experiences was conducted in 1985 to record the following: (a) specific information about various streams and promising improvement techniques, design methods used in the past, centers of experience for certain type projects, points of contact by name, and stream types; (b) problems and experiences pertaining to project design, environmental issues, local cooperation, operation and maintenance activities, and project review; and (c) insight into future research and guidance needs for bank protection (particularly riprap), grade control structures, and stable channel design. Keywords: Banks/waterways; Channels/waterways; Streams/classification/distributions; Water erosion; Hydrology/riprap/stabilization.
