Mutagenic impact on fish of runoff events in agricultural areas in south-west France [PDF]
, 2011 When heavy rainfall follows herbicide application, the intense surface runoff causes stream water contamination. Aquatic organisms are then briefly exposed to a complex mixture of contaminants.

Retrogressive Thaw Slumps Produce a Changing Disturbance Regime for Arctic Stream Invertebrates
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.Climate change is causing permafrost to thaw, resulting in the formation of large craters in the ground called thaw slumps, which deposit sediments and nutrients into rivers and continually impact stream ecosystems over time. We returned to slump impacted streams 10 years after an initial sample period and found that slumps permanently change streams ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT China has complex topography, diverse flood mechanisms, and high population exposure, making it highly vulnerable to flooding, highlighting the need for robust national‐scale hazard assessments to identify flood‐prone regions. However, most existing hazard studies are limited to regional scales or rely on empirical indicator‐based methods that

Flood Control and Drainage Design Standards for Sunken Metro Vehicle Base
Chengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiu[Objective] As a special form of space utilization for vehicle base, sunken metro vehicle base faces greater risk in flood control and drainage. However, currently there are no available specifications and standards in this regard in China. Therefore, it

STORM 1.0: a simple, flexible, and parsimonious stochastic rainfall generator for simulating climate and climate change [PDF]
, 2018 Assessments of water balance changes, watershed response, and landscape evolution to climate change require representation of spatially and temporally varying rainfall fields over a drainage basin, as well as the flexibility to simply modify key driving ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Urban flood disasters demand dynamic assessment of population risk, yet most evacuation models fail to capture the multifaceted, time‐varying nature of such events. To address this gap, this study develops the modular urban flood‐evacuation (MUFE) framework, an integrated approach to dynamic urban flood risk assessment.

Local models for rainstorm-induced hazard analysis on Mediterranean river-torrential geomorphological systems [PDF]
, 2004 Damaging hydrogeomorphological events are defined as one or more simultaneous phenomena (e.g. accelerated erosions, landslides, flash floods and river floods), occurring in a spatially and temporal random way and triggered by rainfall with different ...
