Abstract

The economic yield of a flood-plain zoning program is measured by cost-benefit analysis. The methodology entails the use of a probabilistic hydroeconomic model to evaluate expected flood damages with and without zoning. The application shows that this type of program, albeit cost-effective overall, may be unacceptable for various reasons to the various parties involved.
