  • Computer aided flood control modeling and management system
    Patent number: 4885706
    Abstract: The present invention is used in the management of flood control systems. A database representing a plurality of watersheds and associated control systems, including monitoring and control systems, is used to simulate the effect of existing and proposed developments on the selected watershed. The effects of these analyses may be displayed either as text or graphically. By using a single database, the system may be used to manage the cumulative effect of multiple analyses and maintain the currency of proposed developments. The system includes a design module which permits the operator to interactively modify watershed parameters used in the analysis, thereby modeling proposed changes in the flood control system.
