Scientific and Engineering Issues in Design and Forecasting for Floods
The article assesses problem areas identified in publications dealing with the 1993 flood on the Mississippi and Missouri river basins. This event, because of its long duration, gave federal and state agencies an unequaled opportunity to marshal1 data-gathering teams who collected data as the event progressed. Recent development of new instruments and strategies for measuring streamflows and bathymetry quickly and accurately enhanced this opportunity Major areas deserving future emphasis are identified as development of highly trained teams for gathering, transmitting, and assembling field data during large flood events, and refinement of methods of real-time forecasting.
