Progress in Flood Risk Assessment at Regional Scale
2013 Fourth International Conference on Digital Manufacturing & Automation, 2013Global climate changes and human activities have a profound impact on disaster environment and formation mechanism of waterlogging disaster, exacerbating the uncertainty of waterlogging disaster and highlighting complexity and difficulty coping with the water disasters of farmland. A large number of researches on risk assessment and prediction of flood

Recent Progress in Surfactant Flooding in Carbonate Reservoirs
Proceedings, 2013Surfactant Polymer (SP) flooding in carbonate reservoirs is still considered as a considerable challenge today. Indeed, adsorption of anionic surfactants onto carbonate rocks is known to be much higher than onto sandstone rocks. This limits drastically the efficiency of the process.

Recent progress in flood management in China
Irrigation and Drainage, 2006“From flood control to flood management” is a significant milestone and inevitable trend for the adjustment of water management strategies in rapidly developing China. Flood control practices on a large scale, after the 1998 floods, indicate that neither a conventional method of flood control nor a simple copying of advanced experiences in other ...

Watertight Integrity Audits to Mitigate Risks of Progressive Flooding
Offshore Technology Conference-Asia, 2014Experience in the offshore industry demonstrates that while mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) are designed to provide watertight integrity (WTI), incidents continue to test the WTI of MODUs. Owner investigations sometimes show flooding has progressed to hull compartments beyond the original breach.

Progress in Establishing Wetland Plants in Permanently Flooded UraniumTailings
Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review, 1998Abstract Trials are taking place on flooded pyritic uranium tailings near the city of Elliot Lake, Ontario to establish deep water aquatic plants. It is anticipated that the wetland eventually formed will produce organic matter that will hinder oxygen penetration into the tailings and help to keep acid production to a minimum.

Progress in natural flood retention at the Bavarian Danube
Natural Hazards, 2014The public generally expects restoring natural flood retention as an effective flood mitigation measure, given that river regulation or losses of natural retention storage space through human intervention of nature are often perceived as the cause of recent disastrous floodings.

Flood Frequency and Design Flood Estimation Procedures in the United States: Progress and Challenges
Australasian Journal of Water Resources, 2011Design flood estimation procedures in the United States have traditionally focused on two primary methods: frequency analysis of peak flows for floodplain management and levee design; and deterministic, probable maximum flood (PMF) estimates for design of dams and nuclear facilities.

The progressive lag of sediment concentration with flood waves
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1956Numerous investigations of suspended‐sediment discharge have shown that an increase in stream flow usually is accompanied by an increase in sediment concentration. The sediment‐concentration peak during a rise may precede, coincide with, or follow the water‐discharge peak.
