1993 Midwestern Floods

9319821 Georgakakos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，至少影响到中西部7个州。 这项工作将集中于爱荷华州的洪水，这是整个洪水的代表，严重影响了区域经济和水资源的管理。 本项目的重点是评估现有防洪工程的性能、其设计的相关性、用于设计这些工程的模型的实用性以及洪水对该地区水系统和资源的影响。 更好地了解这场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。***

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. ***
