The increases in extreme rainfall could increase the probable maximum flood (PMF) and pose a severe threat to critical hydraulic infrastructure such as dams protection structures. This study is conducted assess impact of climate change on PMF tropical catchment. Climate inflow data Tenmengor reservoir, located state Perak Malaysia, have been used calibrate validate hydrological model. projected...

Flooding is Pakistan's most common natural hazard, and it exacerbated by increased rainfall urbanization. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan flood-prone zones were determined superimposing six flood parameters in an ArcGIS environment: elevation, slope, accumulation, land cover, soil geometry, gap/buffer from water channel. Cellular automata based on artificial neural network (CA-ANN) along QGI...

[1] The large outflow channels of Chryse Planitia, Mars, are thought to have been carved by floodwaters discharged from an aquifer beneath a confining cryosphere. However, conventional models of groundwater flow require optimistically high permeabilities to produce, in a single flooding event, the discharge rates and volumes inferred from channel morphology. Additionally, discharge likely cease...

Statistical analysis of daily water level data from four gauging stations along the Hungarian Danube reach has been carried out with the purpose of analysing the impact of the Austrian hydropower plants on the floods of the river. Conditional probability distribution functions of annual flood load maxima and annual number of floods were generated for the periods 1957-1976 and 1977-1996. By comp...

Good knowledge on the interactions between climatic variables and malaria can be very useful for predicting outbreaks and preparedness interventions. We investigated clinical malaria transmission patterns and its temporal relationship with climatic variables in Tubu village, Botswana. A 5-year retrospective time series data analysis was conducted to determine the transmission patterns of clinic...

Flood disaster is considered as a major natural hazard due to its devastatingeffects on the affected areas. Determining the flood vulnerable areas is important fordecision makers in order to perform planning and management activities. GeographicalInformation System (GIS) is integrated with Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)used to analyze the flood vulnerable areas. The aim of this researc...
