Nutrients Adsorption onto Biochar and Alum Sludge for Treating Stormwater
In this study, Eucalyptus wandoo (EW) biochar and alum sludge and their mixture are used in batches to remove nutrients (ammonium-nitrogen (NH3-N), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), nitrite-nitrogen (NO2-N), and phosphate-phosphorus (PO4-P)) from synthetic ...

Abstract Urban regions situated along major river systems are increasingly facing flood risks, driven by the combined effects of rapid urbanization and intensifying climate change. The Quad Cities region, comprising Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in Illinois, is vulnerable to flood hazards caused by extreme ...

Community Voices in Action: A Framework for Flood Resilience Workshops in a Coastal Community
Abstract Coastal communities face increasing risks from hurricanes, heavy rainfall, sea‐level rise, and flooding—all of which are intensified by climate change. Many of these communities are striving to plan proactively in advance of the next severe event; involving community members alongside managers, scientists, and other stakeholders in the ...

ABSTRACT An expert mental model (EMM) explores how U.S. municipalities integrate flood risk management (FRM) into urban planning, offering insights beyond existing literature. Motivated by the challenges urban planners face in balancing flood risk with competing priorities like development, housing, and economic growth, this study combines a literature

ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most critical natural hazards threatening livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecological systems in Ethiopia's highland landscapes. This study presents a rigorously integrated, multi‐criteria flood risk assessment that combines the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with GIS‐based spatial modeling to delineate ...

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.

Can Flash Flood Risk Index Be an Early Warning Signal of Flash Floods in Ungauged Basin?
ABSTRACT Flash flooding is amongst the most severe natural hazards, causing widespread socioeconomic impacts across both wet regions and drylands. In ungauged mountainous basins, effective risk warning based on hydrodynamic modelling is challenging due to sparse hydrological observations and complex terrain.

Building Treatment and Its Effects on City‐Scale Urban Flood Modeling
ABSTRACT Physics‐based flood hydrodynamic models are widely used for predicting inundation in urban basins with complex building layouts. While the treatment of urban buildings in these models has been extensively discussed, over‐assumptions can introduce inaccuracies, uncertainties, and excessive computational effort, particularly under data‐scarce ...
