FMA Challenge 3: Difference between revisions

 

In this challenge, a typical non-urban stream of the California Central Valley will be explored. The stream originates near the Sierra Nevada Foothills and conveys runoff to the West into the Central Valley Flood Management System. The streams are natural, with large amounts of conveyance in their upper reaches. As the streams progress downstream, their conveyance capacity gradually reduces. At some point nearing the valley floor, typical levees have been constructed to contain normal floods within the conveyance systems.

 

From this challenge, it is expected you will develop skills in:<br>

*Understanding of the influence of infiltration on flood behaviour;

*Nested 1D/2D models; and
