Using information from an experimental planting of non-toxic Jatropha curcas (NTJC) with minimal water and fertilization resources on rural marginal soil the objective this article is to determine sustainability raw material for producing biodiesel possibilities improving it through life-cycle assessment (LCA). Three production scenarios were studied: (MR), which focuses obtaining biodiesel; ut...

BACKGROUND Flood preparedness empowers the community to respond effectively to related hazards. However, there was no research done in the country concerning household flood preparedness. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess household flood preparedness and associated factors in the flood-prone community of Dembia district, northwest Ethiopia. METHODS A community-based cross-section...

Flood regime and vegetation flood tolerance interact to influence tree growth in riverine landscapes. We studied tree growth in floodplain and upland forests of theWisconsin River. About a century ago, levees set back from the river were constructed on this floodplain. The levee restricts some floodplain area from overbank flood events, but leaves a portion of active floodplain still inundated ...

A 2D-hydraulic flood propagation models require accurate elevation data. One of the main problems is frequent changes of land use in major cities, where frequent updating of the digital terrain model (DTM) for flood modelling might be needed. On the other hand the assessment should be based on realistic flood hazard indicator that would help to reflect the real impact of urban development on th...

This research investigates the changes of soil properties in Dasht-e Abbas plain due to the Karkheh water transfer to this plain. In thisstudy, the maps of groundwater level changes before and after the utilization of irrigation system were prepared. Furthermore, toinvestigate the changes of soil characteristics, soil samples were collected from various project implantations and control areas a...

a rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. the level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. in this study, a rain gauge network was designed for hormozganprovince in the south of iran. monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...

Reservoirs with multifunctional purposes are the most widely used as sources of water for irrigation. In China, a large number irrigation systems have been created using reservoirs flood prevention, irrigation, industrial and agricultural supply. Belarus, Soligorsk, Lyuban, Petrovich, Pogost other The useful (regulating) volume reservoir consists separate components calculated each consumer in ...

This study presents an advanced remote sensing-based steady-state flood model to improve flood management strategies. The REFIX (Regression and Elevation based Flood Information eXtraction) model is based on regression analysis and uses a remotely sensed flood extent and a high-resolution floodplain DEM (Digital Elevation Model) to estimate water heights for a given flood event. In some cases, ...

This study analyzes the duration and division of the flood season in the Fenhe River Basin over the period of 1957–2014 based on daily precipitation data collected from 14 meteorological stations. The Mann–Kendall detection, the multiscale moving t-test, and the Fisher optimal partition methods are used to evaluate the impact of climate change on flood season duration and division. The results ...
