Incorporating Climate Change, Risk, and Resilience into Hydrologic Design Procedures
In 2016, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) completed an effort to provide new design guidance for engineers and designers of hydraulic structures, drainage facilities, and highway encroachments that incorporates the best actionable climate science and risk assessment approaches. The new guidance is known as Hydraulic Engineering Circular Number 17 (HEC-17) “Highways in the River Environment–Floodplains, Extreme Events, Risk, and Resilience.” This paper summarizes selected features of the guidance including the incorporation of the uncertainty associated with hydrologic data and models into hydrologic design. Specifically, the paper describes the use of confidence limits to build more resilient infrastructure and how to incorporate climate change into hydrologic design within a framework of different levels of effort that depend on the nature of the project. Example computations are provided to illustrate key concepts.
