Currently\, benefit-cost analysis (BCA)\, as applied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) water resource projects\, is ‘tuned’ to evaluating the national economic value of projects. However\, the science of quantifying and comparing the economic\, environmental and social benefits and costs of water resources projects has advanced significantly in recent years. The discussions will look at how balancing across multiple goals and applying improved methods\, may lead to a more comprehensive and equitable assessment of how integrated water resources projects—including projects that integrate conventional engineering and NBS—add value to communities across the nation in ways that create resilience in the face of climate change. \nThis event will bring together government\, nonprofit\, academic\, and private sector collaborators to share recent progress and identify key next steps for evaluation and planning. Both the National Academies and The Water Institute of the Gulf will present from recent projects with USACE on benefits\, applications\, and opportunities of natural infrastructure and NBS and seek input from federal\, academic/NGO\, and private sector participants. \nClick here for more information and to register.
