Natural Hazards Science: Reducing America’s Risk from Floods David Ford David Ford Consulting Engineers

Keep people and property out of flood waters

Keep flood waters away from people and property

Start Estimate flow consistent with risk Compute water level for that flow Map potentially flooded area Design & build or regulate

Superhighway

Compute water level for that flow Map potentially flooded area

Dirt road

Start Estimate flow consistent with risk

Record history Predict future Driving directions

1997 Flood New regulatory flood Old regulatory flood Peak Flow, CFS Consumnes River near Michigan Bar, CA

Start Estimate flow consistent with risk Simulate performance Evaluate potential damage Design & build or regulate

Bottom line… USGS provides data and develops methods needed for wise water and land management decisions.
