Runoff on susceptible terrains that is not associated with adequate drainage causes soil erosion, as gullies. Gullies and drainage continue to be major issues in reclamation projects since soil erosion can be reactivated after the application of recovery

Short-term variability in Greenland Ice Sheet motion forced by time-varying meltwater inputs: implications for the relationship between subglacial drainage system behavior and ice velocity. [PDF]
High resolution measurements of ice motion along a -120 km transect in a land-terminating section of the GrIS reveal short-term velocity variations (

Limiting the influence of regulated electrical drainage on track circuits [PDF]
For the past two years, the authors of this paper have been working on the development of a new regulated electrical drainage system for tram tracks, which may also be used on railways in the future.

Present firesafety measures were conceived to deal with hypothetical fires spreading by destruction of successive compartment boundaries. A new firesafety system, referred to as the “fire drainage system,” is designed to cope with real-world fires spreading mainly by convection.

Study of the mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is critical to estimate its potential contribution to global sea-level rise in the future. As the largest drainage system, the Lambert Glacier–Amery Ice Shelf drainage system plays an important role in

THE ROLE OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM PLANTS IN DRAINAGE PURIFICATION
Turkmenistan is located in the center of the Eurasian continent, far from the world ocean, in the desert and semi-desert zones of the temperate zone. The main part of its territory (80%) is occupied by the Karakum desert. As such, the majority of the country's population lives in oases, i.e. river valleys and foothills with underground streams. However,

Assessing Stormwater Nutrient and Heavy Metal Plant Uptake in an Experimental Bioretention Pond [PDF]
With the purpose to study a solution based on Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to reduce and treat stormwater runoff in urban areas, a bioretention pond (BP) was realized in the Agripolis campus of the University of Padova, Italy.

Efficient Design of Road Drainage Systems [PDF]
Excess surface water on roadways due to storm events can cause hazardous scenarios for traffic. The design of efficient road and transportation facility drainage systems is a major challenge. Different approaches to limit excess surface water can be found in the drainage design standards of different countries.
