2004 Congress asked the USACE to devise real world testing
procedures for flood-fighting technologies. Subsequently the ERDC
developed a package of standardized water tests to allow direct
comparisons of the performance of temporary floodwall systems. Now
ERDC has begun serving as a test center for the recently announced
National Flood Barrier Testing & Certification Program which is
a partnership between The United States Army Corp of Engineers
(USACE) The Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) FM
