Optimal Flood Mitigation over Flood Propagation Approximations
Globally, flooding is the most frequent among all natural disasters, commonly resulting in damage to infrastructure, economic catastrophe, and loss of life. Since the flow of water is influenced by the shape and height of topography, an effective mechanism for preventing and directing floods is to use structures that increase height, e.g., levees and sandbags. In this paper, we introduce the Op...
متن کاملOil bio-degradation in permeable pavements by microbial communities.
This paper reports on continuing research at Coventry University into the improvement of highway water quality following flow through a permeable pavement. Such pavements have been shown elsewhere to be efficient in-situ bio-reactors, capable of degrading large quantities of clean motor oil. Further laboratory research, reported here, demonstrates that a commercially obtained oil degrading, mic...
متن کاملFlood Characteristics and Mitigation Issues
Among various natural disasters floods make the largest impact in terms of number of casualties, people affected and property lost. Flood data during the past 30 years show that flood events that cause significant impacts have increased at a steady rate. Available data suggest that this increase could be attributed to increasing population and exposure, increasing property values located in vul...
متن کاملInvolving Homeowners in Flood Mitigation
Early efforts to mitigate flood hazards emphasized structural solutions such as dams and levees. More recent strategies have stressed regulatory, nonstructural measures. In neither case, however, has homeowner involvement been given a very important role. Frustrated with the limited success of past efforts, floodplain managers recently have become more interested in encouraging homeowners to ta...
متن کاملFactors Influencing Stormwater Mitigation in Permeable Pavement
Permeable pavement (PP) is used worldwide to mitigate surface runoff in urban areas. Various studies have examined the factors governing the hydrologic performance of PP. However, relatively little is known about the relative importance of these governing factors and the long-term hydrologic performance of PP. This study applied numerical models—calibrated and validated using existing experimen...
