The Scientific Assessment and Strategy Team (SAST) was formed by direction of the White House to provide technical guidance on recovery efforts and future floodplain management issues in the upper Mississippi River basin as a result of the unprecedented flooding that occurred there during the spring and summer of 1993. The SAST conducted a series of watershed modeling studies to analyze the potential reduction in peak runoff for various nonstructural watershed management practices. The results of those studies are summarized. In addition to the potential peak flow reductions, the potential reductions in total runoff volume are compared for various nonstructural watershed management approaches. Those approaches include maximization of infiltration through land management changes, maximization of wetland storage, and installation of small flood prevention structures to temporarily store water. The watershed management practices, watershed modeling studies, and potential reductions in surface runoff are detailed.
