  1. Hydraulic and Hydrologic Considerations in Planning

  2. Objective • Class will provide: • Brief overview of planning to set the stage • Context for why H&H is important for planners • Course strategy

  3. What Three Things are Necessary before You Begin a Planning Study? • Local Sponsor • Authorization • Appropriation

  4. What Do You Do As A Planner? • Formulate solutions to water resources problems • Develop decision documents

  5. Types of Decision Documents • Section 905(b) Analysis • Feasibility Report • Limited Reevaluation Report • General Reevaluation Report • Continuing Authorities Report • Federal Interest Determination • Detailed Project Report • Planning and Design Analysis

  6. USACE Civil Works Mission Areas • Storm/Flood Risk Management • Coastal areas • Riverine flooding • Navigation • Inland • Deep Draft • Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration

  7. Why Do Planners Need to Understand Hydrology and Hydraulics?

  8. Why Do Planners Need to Understand Hydrology and Hydraulics? Because everything we do involves water • Reducing risk of flooding • Improving navigable channels or harbors • Restoring the function and structure of aquatic ecosystems

  9. Planning Phases • Reconnaissance phase • Feasibility phase

  10. H&H Engineer’s Role • Reconnaissance Study • Knowledge of existing H&H information/conditions • Professional judgment of potential solutions • Input into scope, schedule and cost of Project Management Plan • Feasibility Study • Develop hydrologic and hydraulic information and data • Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analysis • Support plan formulation efforts • Support communication with sponsor, stakeholders, and public • Help create decision documents

  11. Course Strategy

  12. Course Strategy • Academics • Differentiate between hydrology and hydraulics • Cover basic concepts of each • Enable you to “talk the language” • Application • Coastal Risk Management • Flood Risk Management • Navigation • Ecosystem Restoration • Developing Scope, Schedule, and Costs • Field Trip/Exercises to reinforce learning

  13. Encourage class participation • Welcome questions on your studies • Opportunities for hands-on • Field Trip • Class Exercises • Class Goal: Be able to more effectively interact with H&H engineers on your PDTs Class Interaction

  14. Objective • Class will provide: • Brief overview of planning to set the stage • Context for why H&H is important for planners • Course strategy
