Zooarchaeology in the Paraná River flood plain: GIS implementation at a regional scale

GIS Methodology for Characterizing Historical Conditions of the Willamette River Flood Plain, Oregon

Recent environmental developments have stimulated an interest in conservation and restoration of the historical Willamette River flood plain, both to protect against flooding and to provide wildlife habitat. In order to best utilize scarce resources, we characterized historical and modern river channel and flood-plain conditions to evaluate changes and help prioritize restoration sites. Using c...

Cs in flood - plain soils of the Techa river

The Techa river was contaminated in 1949-1956 from the nuclear enterprise "MAYAK". The investigations were carried out in flood plain of the Techa river in 1992-1999. In the upper and middle parts of the river the basic contaminator is I 3 7 Cs; downstream more active is 9 0 Sr. Density of contamination of soils with 9 0 Sr down the river changes from 600 to 200 kBq/m , and that with 1 3 7 Cs f...

Urban Flood Analysis Model for Plain Tidal River Network Region

Considering characteristics of high river density, special underlying surface in plain river network region, and municipal drainage system function, river network drainage unit model is proposed, which is defined as a region surrounded by main river or embankment. Flood storage variety and control projects regulation of small rivers in each unit is simulated. With drainage catchment as an objec...
