ESTABLISHMENT OF REMOTE-SENSING BASED MONITORING PROGRAM FOR HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF THE SACRAMENTO DELTA

This project employs a sensor-based and model-aided approach to provide engineers and decision makers with systematic tools to assess the health and provide early warning of deteriorating levees in the Sacramento Delta. The modeling tool integrates the use of measured data with the concept of performance limit states to effectively achieve a performance-based, network-level health assessment of the levee system.
