Diyala Governorate was recently exposed to high flood waves discharged from Hemrin Dam. Since the dam at its full capacity during period, these were River. Because of reduction in River 750m3/s, cities and villages on both sides river banks inundated. Thus, study's objective is design a escape out River, discharge wave through it. The simulation done by using HEC- RAS software. Two hundred twen...

ALOS PALSAR data is used to analyse the flood dynamics of two semi-arid river systems and to characterise and define wetland typologies that result from infrequent and highly variable river flood regimes. The two sites, the Gwydir and the Paroo rivers, are both located within the Murray Darling Basin of eastern Australia. The methods developed have the potential to provide cost effective monito...

River channels and their flood plains are among the most naturally dynamic ecosystems on earth, in large part due to periodic flooding. The components of a river's natural flood regime (magnitude, frequency, duration and timing of peak flows) interact to maintain great habitat heterogeneity and to promote high species diversity and ecosystem productivity. Flood regimes vary within and among riv...

Two competing flood control and drainage management (FCDM) systems, namely, the ‘silt-dredging and regulative-drainage management (SRM)’ and the ‘tidal river-basin management (TRM)’ systems were implemented in the Southwest coastal zone of Bangladesh as a safeguard for agricultural production. The fundamental difference between these two FCDM systems is that SRM is characterised as a hard engin...

Floods in the U.S. kill an average of 162 people each year and cause $3.4 billion in property damage. Flood control programs have been successful in lowering, but not eliminating, the risks to lives and property. Since the late 1960s, the federal government has emphasized flood insurance as a primary tool for improving location and flood-proofing decisions, as well as for reimbursing flood loss...

This paper describes a workflow management system that was implemented according to the requirements of a Flood forecasting application [1] developed in the CrossGrid project [2]. The flood forecasting application contains several simulation models (meteorological, hydrological, hydraulic) implemented as the grid jobs. A need for a cascade execution of these models has been a motivation for cre...
