Purpose:
a. This publication describes study processes performed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hydrologic engineers for Federal flood damage reduction project. The goal is to enable Corps staff and cost-share partners to gain an understanding of hydrologic engineering procedures, including the study scope, strategies, and methods of analysis. With a common understanding, the study team members can clearly define and grasp the choices available for performing the hydrologic engineering study and arrive at a mutual agreement on study requirements.
b. Appropriate references to other pamphlet, manuals, documents, and texts are included if more detailed explanations are desired. References shown throughout this document may be found in Appendix A.
