9319821 Georgakakos The project will study the June July 1993 floods in the Mississippi River basin affecting at least seven Mid Western States. The work will concentrate on the Iowa floods which are representative of the overall flooding and have severely affected the regional economy and the management of water resources. The assessment of the performance of existing flood control works, the pertinence of their design, the utility of the models used for designing these works, and the impacts of the flood on the water systems and resources of the region will be the focus of this project. A better understanding of causes and effects of this extraordinary flood will benefit future plans for the management of this type of extreme natural events. ***

该项目将研究1993年6月至7月发生在密西西比河流域的洪水，洪水至少影响了中西部七个州。这项工作将集中在爱荷华州的洪水上，这是整体洪水的代表，严重影响了区域经济和水资源管理。评估现有防洪工程的性能、设计的针对性、设计这些工程时使用的模型的效用，以及洪水对该地区水系统和资源的影响，将是本项目的重点。更好地了解这次特大洪水的原因和影响，将有利于未来管理这类极端自然事件的计划。＊＊＊
