Exploring characteristics and drivers of flood hazard under different urban development patterns
Environmental and Sustainability IndicatorsUrban expansion can influence flooding by altering impervious area, surface runoff and the distribution of population. While the impact of urban development on flood hazards has been widely studied, the variation in flood characteristics in the context ...

Ocupación urbana de zonas con riesgo de inundación y dinámica territorial: El caso de las aglomeraciones del Gran Nador (Marruecos) [PDF]
, 2018 Flooding in the urban environment has long been a major concern for territorial actors as well as for the local population in the Great Nador region. It affects, in a recurring way, the main urban agglomerations and the peripheral zones which surround ...

Experimental modelling of urban flooding: A review [PDF]
Journal of Hydrology, 2019 Abstract We review the 45 available studies of urban flooding based on laboratory experiments. We distinguish between the studies focusing on the flow in (i) a single street intersection, (ii) surface-sewer exchanges, (iii) an array of obstacles and (iv) quasi-realistic urban districts.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Flood risk assessment in an urban area: Vila Nova de Gaia [PDF]
, 2013 This paper proposes a methodology for flood risk assessment in a non fluvial urban flood. Two hazard classifications were considered; one with water depth and flow velocity classes and other with the product of water depth and flow velocity.

Large-scale attribution of trend in UK flood flow data [PDF]
, 2012 The objective of this study is to undertake a preliminary investigation of trend in annual maximum series of peak flood data in the United Kingdom, as a precursor to developing a more complete procedure for non-stationary flood frequency estimation.

Impacts of river engineering on river channel behaviour : implications for managing downstream flood risk [PDF]
, 2020 Although knowledge of sediment transport has improved over the last 25 years, our understanding of bedload transfer and sediment delivery is still based on a limited set of observations or on models that make assumptions on hydraulic and sediment ...

Flood Protection of the Non-Urban Area
WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, 2023 Due to global warming, the risk of floods is constantly increasing due to the drying up of the soil, followed by more intense rain showers and storms. Therefore, it is essential to pay more attention to this topic now. The article deals with the design of flood protection in the municipality.
