Task 3

TASK 3: GATE AND PUMP STATION OPTIMIZATION

Based on findings from Task 2, select gate and pump station configurations will be evaluated.

• Performance metrics: floodplain extent, number of structures / residential properties flooded, flood depth at critical facilities / watch points
• Operation of pumps and gates during a storm (e.g., Harvey 2017)
• Optimize number of pumps and their capacities for targeted flood reduction
