The accumulation of sediment in aquatic environments can lead to an increase flood risk due raised floodplains and water levels. Electromagnetic modeling techniques, such as Time Domain (TDEM) resistivity or lithological conductivity contrast, be utilized detect changes the subsurface. In this study, we investigated use TDEM hazard mitigation schemes by developing a 1-D forward program for cent...

Flood is the most frequently and devastating natural disaster that kills people in thousands. Its consequences are profound, particularly on people in the less developed countries as in Nigeria. Emerging evidence shows that women suffer disproportionately in all disasters as they are made more vulnerable because of their reduced access to sources of emergency intervention as well as their lack ...

introduction flood is a natural hazard that its occurrences can be observed more frequently in recent years. for better flood mitigation and control, it is needed to identify flood production factors and determine the high potential flood areas. hydrological model is a simplified representation of natural system and the rainfall-runoff model is one of the most frequently used events for flood s...

The Hungarian government is experiencing escalating costs for flood mitigation measures and for economical compensation to victims. In a joint research project between the International Institute of Applied System Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, Computer and System Science Department (DSV) in Sweden, and the Hungarian Academy of Science, the flooding problem of Upper Tisza in Hungary is investigat...

This study describes the architecture and capabilities of an open source agent-based Java platform that permits the systematic study of interactions among hydrology, climate, and strategic human decision-making in a watershed over time. To demonstrate the platform’s use and capabilities, an application is presented in accordance with ODD protocol requirements that captures, in simplified form, ...

Agricultural pesticides continue to impair surface water ecosystems, although there are few assessments of interactions with other modifications such as fine sediment and physical alteration for flood drainage. We, therefore, surveyed pesticide contamination and macroinvertebrates in 14 streams along a gradient of expected pesticide exposure using a paired-reach approach to differentiate effect...
