ACE in the hole! Achieving the �perfect� flood control project.
Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Authors: Pedro Melo Rodriguez

In natural and built environments engineers often have difficulty finding the �perfect� solution between functionality, community support and landscape resources. Engineered projects meet functional aspects but often lack community support and sensitivity to the landscape. FCDMC developed a Context Sensitive Flood Hazard Mitigation tool for use in regional flood control projects to address this. The ACE tool achieves �perfect� projects by making it Acceptable, Compatible & Effective (ACE).
