Rapid Flood Evaluation Systems in Taiwan Metropolitan Areas

International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology, 2011
Hydrological issues in metropolises in Taiwan have become increasingly important because the storm water sewer systems of metropolises are frequently unable to meet the requirements of the existing and future metropolitan development.

Using rainfall thresholds and ensemble precipitation forecasts to issue and improve urban inundation alerts [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Urban inundation forecasting with extended lead times is useful in saving lives and property. This study proposes the integration of rainfall thresholds and ensemble precipitation forecasts to provide probabilistic urban inundation forecasts. Utilization

The Cork City Flood of November 2009 : lessons for flood risk management and climate change adaptation at the urban scale [PDF]

, 2011
Flood hazards are a pressing challenge in several Irish and European cities and their impacts seem likely to intensify as climate change brings sea level rise, changes in storm patterns and increases in rainfall.

Flood risk management and ‘fairness’: aspirations and reality

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Flood risk management in United Kingdom has been going through a process of rapid change in the last decade or so, no doubt spurred on by a series of very serious floods since the year 2000.

REMOTE SENSING MONITORING AND ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL DROUGHT IN SPRING CONSIDERING IRRIGATION AREA: A CASE STUDY OF DONGLEI IRRIGATION DISTRICT (PHASE II) [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
As one of the common natural disasters, drought is extremely destructive to agriculture. Drought has risen in recent years, so how to effectively monitor drought has become the focus of attention of relevant government departments.

Flooded Cities [PDF]

American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2020
Does economic activity move away from areas that are at high risk of recurring shocks? We examine this question in the context of floods, which displaced more than 650 million people worldwide in the last 35 years. We study large urban floods using spatially detailed inundation maps and night lights data spanning the globe’s cities.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...

Flood perception and mitigation: The role of severity, agency, and experience in the purchase of flood protection, and the communication of flood information [PDF]

, 2010
Protection of human life and property from flooding is a strategic priority in the UK. We examine how to encourage home owners to protect themselves and their residences.

Impact of Tidal Phase on Inundation and Thrust Force Due to Storm Surge

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
Impact of storm surge largely varies depending on the tidal phase during the landfall of a tropical cyclone. This study investigates comparative variance in inundation condition and thrust force for an identical cyclone during low tide and high tide by ...
