Flood Mitigation Using Channelization and Detention Given Changing Rainfall Conditions in Houston
Houston, Texas, has highly engineered its waterways to reduce flooding. However, this has been shown to be inadequate during recent storms in 2015 through 2017, including Hurricane Harvey. This study analyzed the efficacy of a large-scale structural mitigation project, Project Brays, on reducing flood levels in the Brays Bayou watershed given updated rainfall standards released in 2018. In addition, we investigated the water surface elevation (WS…
Accessibility and Recovery Assessment of Houston’s Roadway Network due to Fluvial Flooding during Hurricane Harvey
The record-breaking rainfall produced by Hurricane Harvey resulted in catastrophic and prolonged impacts on Houston’s transportation infrastructure, inundating entire neighborhoods and rendering them inaccessible to emergency response services. Harvey highlighted the vulnerability of the roadway network to severe inundation during extreme fluvial flood events and emphasized the need for a detailed roadway network accessibility characterization in…
