UTA helping TRA determine whether to convert Joe Pool Lake flood storage

(University of Texas at Arlington) Yu Zhang, an associate professor in the civil engineering department at the University of Texas at Arlington, and Victoria Chen, a professor in the Industrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering Department, are using a $50,000 TRA grant to build models and test software that will help the agency make a decision. Should the TRA decide to convert flood storage, the US Army Corps of Engineers will make the final determination whether to proceed.
