Rice bran application just after transplanting has been increasingly practiced as a herbicide-substitute for organic rice production in Korea. However, this practice is frequently reported to be unsatisfactory in weed suppression. An experiment with five treatments that combine flooding depth (shallow and deep), rice bran application level (low and high), and herbicide application was carried o...

Gas flooding has proven to be a promising method of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for mature water-flooding reservoirs. The determination optimal well control parameters is an essential step proper and economic development underground hydrocarbon resources using gas injection. Generally, the optimization in requires use compositional numerical simulation forecasting production dynamics, which com...

Characterization of rheological behavior of alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) solution and oil emulsion is difficult, due to the complex chemical components and various physiochemical reactions with oil during chemical flooding. Through rheological experiments of ASP and crude oil emulsion, this paper presents the studies on influencing factors of rheological behavior, including interfacial tensi...

On 10 May 2016, Guangdong Province, China, suffered a heavy rainstorm. This rainstorm flooded the whole city of Guangzhou. More than 100,000 people were affected by the flooding, in which eight people lost their lives. Subway stations, cars, and buses were submerged. In order to analyse the influential factors of this flooding, topographical characteristics were mapped using Digital Elevation M...

This paper considers the potential impact on human health from waterborne and vector-borne infections. It concentrates on the impact of two possible changes to climate; increased frequency of heavy rainfall events, with associated flooding and increased temperature. Flooding is associated with increased risk of infection in developing nations but not in the West unless water sources are comprom...

In central Mississippi, outplanted water tupelo seedlings survived and grew well after shallow flooding (up to 8 cm) from late February through June 1. Submersion of the seedlings, flooding until late in the growing season, reflooding, and moderate siltation reduced growth. Flooding caused changes in certain soil properties, but these changes did not seem to be the major cause of growth reducti...

Water extraction from dryland rivers is often associated with declines in the health of river and floodplain ecosystems due to reduced flooding frequency and extent of floodplain inundation. Following moderate flooding in early 2008 in the Narran River, Murray-Darling Basin, Australia, 10,423 ML of water was purchased from agricultural water users and delivered to the river to prolong inundatio...

salix integra thunb. is a shrub distributed in china along the huai river riparian zone, and plays an important role in water and soil conservation. s. integra shrub land is easily submerged during july to october due to the flooding of huai river. in order to characterize the physiological mechanisms of waterlogging tolerance of s. integra and to help rationally select waterlogging-tolerant sp...
