As environmental uncertainty increases, incorporating resilience intoproject assessments, research recommendations, and future plans isbecoming even more critical. This US Army Engineer Research andDevelopment Center special report (SR) demonstrates how the concepts ofresilience can be applied in a uniform framework and illustrates thisframework through existing case studies on large inland river systems.This SR presents the concepts of resilience in inland river systems, theapplication of these concepts across disciplines, basic parameters of aresilience assessment, and the challenges and opportunities available forincorporating a more holistic approach to understanding resilience of theUS Army Corps of Engineers mission areas on inland rivers. Finally, theseconcepts are demonstrated in several case studies in the United States toexemplify how these parameters have been applied to improve the overallperformance of the system. |
