5 Zone A Flood Hazard Mapping Approximate, Base Level Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) 1% Base Flood Elevations, not mapped flood profiles, floodways

6 Zone A - Musts Must be cost effective - ~900,000 miles Must be defendable (model backed) Must make choices that impact cost and accuracy

7 Zone A Choices Terrain Source Modeling Approach Hydrology Hydraulics 1D steady, 1D unsteady, 2D Assumptions & Parameters

8 2 - Flood Hazard Analysis and Mapping Process Elevation Data Terrain Data Bathymetry Data Hydrology Data Rainfall Runoff Models Flood Frequency Analysis Regression Equations Hydraulic Analysis Contraction/Expansion Friction Loss Cross Section Geometry Flood Hazard Map

9 Elevation and Terrain Data THE most important factor in determining BFEs and the extent of flooding accuracy of flood hazard maps in riverine areas found by multiple studies. Cook and Merwade (2009) found that the average width and area of inundation for a 30 m DEM are more that 25% higher compared to the that produced by using LIDAR. Solution terrain standards for regulatory mapping.

10 Hydrology Flood Frequency Analysis gage analysis Regression Equations flow function of drainage area and (maybe) other parameters, derived from gages Rainfall Runoff Models hydrologic simulations Solution 1%- and 1%+ flood profiles Upper and lower bounds of predictive error (84% limit) WSEL changes to in NC NRC study (2009)

11 Hydraulics Model choices Type 1D, steady or unsteady 2D Software HEC-RAS, Flo-2D, SWMM, ICPR, MIKE, etc. Parameters N values Expansion/Contraction Coefficients Approach Bridges Bathymetry Solution Study Types? Detailed, Limited Detailed, Approximate, FOA/LSAE

32 4 Benefit Cost Analysis Relative Return On Investment (ROI) Process Determine Total Cost Length * Unit Cost Determine Total Loss Unit Loss = Total Loss in Census Block/Block Area Total Loss = Unit Loss * Floodplain Area Determine the ROI Index Identify two scenarios to compare Calculate the change in total loss and total cost between the 2 scenarios ROI Index = ABS(Change in Total Loss/Change in Total Cost)

33 ROI Index Intended to help decision making Indicates which change in approach yields the largest change in estimated losses per dollar spent. Higher ROI Index = Greater ROI for given stream Value of ROI Index less important than comparison with that of another parameter on the same stream.

Dev. = 2.2 Average = 5.9 Std. Dev. = 12.6 Average = 42.9 Std. Dev. = 92.2 Average = 6.3 Std. Dev. = 15.0 Average = 8.1 Std. Dev. = 12.8 Average = Std. Dev. = 242.4

Dev. = 0.2 Average = 0.1 Std. Dev. = 0.3 Average = 1.7 Std. Dev. = 3.8 Average = 3.5 Std. Dev. = 7.3 Average = 3.7 Std. Dev. = 3.6 Average = 72.2 Std. Dev. = 153.3

37 ROI Index Flat Terrain Parameter Runs Compared Parameter Change ROI Index Bathymetry 2 to 1 Upgrade from DEM terrain only to surveyed bathymetry Structure 3 to 2 Upgrade from assumed structures to surveyed structures 4 to 3 Upgrade from structures as weir to assumed structures 5 to 4 Upgrade from no structures to structures as weirs Manning s 6 to 5 Upgrade from bank-channelbank to horizontal variation 7 to 6 Upgrade from one manning s n value to bank-channel-bank Average = 0.4 Std.

38 5 - Conclusions Results show sensitivity of the BFE and top width to model parameters should be considered when selecting a modeling method Type of terrain affects the uncertainty of a model Sensitivity of the BFE is more prominent in hilly areas Sensitivity of the top width is more prominent in flat areas Upgrading from single Manning s N method provides high ROI, larger impact than adding structures Benefits of improving structure modeling depends on terrain

39 5 - Conclusions Method of modeling should ideally consider: the present and future characteristics of the area being mapped topographical factors hydraulic factors population growth land available for development economic value of structures As conditions change, different variables dominate the potential for variation in BFE and top width, and indirectly influence the ROI of modeling investments.

40 Decision chart by terrain and variable type

41 Observations Decision guides can add logic to modeling choices Need to decide what is more important: BFE or Flood Zone ROI Index may not be the best way to evaluate improvements in quality but factors in inherent risk of the streams location
