将威斯康星州Soldiers Grove商业区从其位于Kickapoo河泄洪道的原址搬迁的成本与传统防洪结构的成本估算进行比较，结果表明，在同等的长期效益下，搬迁的成本并不明显高于堤防和河流渠化。由于搬迁方案的目标更广泛，效益更大，因此在比较防洪策略时，应考虑到从堤防方案中获得同等长期效益的额外成本。政府收购泄洪道的财产，使业主能够在更经济可行的地方获得现代化的替代品，帮助村庄在没有洪水威胁的情况下“重新站起来”。这项研究为比较两种非常不同的替代方案的成本提供了一个框架，从当地的角度来看，这种框架比通常用于这种比较的效益/成本比率更现实。
Abstract Comparing costs of relocating the business district of Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, from its original site in the Kickapoo River floodway with cost estimates for traditional flood protection structures shows that for equivalent long-term benefits, relocation is not significantly more expensive than levees and stream channelization. Since the objectives are broader and the benefits are so much greater for the relocation alternative, the added costs of obtaining equivalent long-term benefits from the levee alternative should be taken into account in the comparison of flood protection strategies. Public acquisition of floodway property allowed owners to obtain modern replacements in more economically viable locations, helping the village to “get back on its feet” without the threat of floods. This study provides a framework for comparing costs of two very different alternatives that is more realistic from a local perspective than the benefit/cost ratios usually used for such comparisons.
