Abstract
This paper describes an effort to establish a scientific basis for systematically analyzing and incorporating the uncertainties into the optimal design of water resources engineering projects. Optimization models can be used to select the magnitudes of design variables in order to minimize total expected project costs. By such optimal risk-based design procedures, a proper trade-off analysis among the potential flood damages, the design uncertainties, and the cost of the project is performed in determining the design.
