A Linear Programming Approach to Floodplain Land Use Planning in Urban Areas

Author

  • John C. Day

Abstract

Floodplain land use management is a new approach to flood loss prevention which will complement engineering works and lead to more intelligent use and development of urban floodplain areas. Land use management may be structured as an optimization problem. Nonlinear or dynamic programming is inappropriate, and a linear programming assignment model is shown to be capable of identifying constrained efficiency combinations of spatial and temporal urban floodplain use, site elevation through land fill, and floodproofing of buildings. Sensitivity testing, however, is required because of possible nonlinearities.
