Flood is natural phenomenon that cannot becompletelycontrolled by man. Floodis a global problem. Even urban areas whichhave good development planning and drainage systemsare susceptible to floods. Flooding in area usually associated with poor system maintenance, failure plan system, not planned properly,and climate change factors. Typically,engineering measuresare meanttoreduce severity of floo...

Flooding has taken place in Sampang every year for the last decade. However, before 2010, flooding this area only occurred on average once 5-10 years. This paper attempted to analyze flood intensities and traditional mitigation practices of indigenous people from Sampang. The authors used historical methods consisting heuristics, criticism, interpretation, historiography problem. By perusing go...

Floods are natural disasters that should be highly considered due to their threats human lives and the economy. It is also third largest disaster in world, which has claimed many properties. Therefore, this study aims identify community knowledge about floods determine efforts increase preparedness strategies. A qualitative was conducted village of Sapanan, Binamu District, Jeneponto Regency, I...

This paper deals with the failure risk of masonry constructions under the effect of floods. It is developed within a probabilistic framework, with loads and resistances considered as random variables. Two complementary approaches have been investigated for this purpose: – a global approach based on combined effects of several governing parameters with individual weighted contribution (material ...

A physically-based, distributed-parameter hydrologic model was used to simulate a recent flood event in the city of Hafr Al Batin, Saudi Arabia to gain a better understanding of the runoff generation and spatial distribution of flooding. The city is located in a very arid catchment. Flooding of the city is influenced by the presence of three major tributaries that join the main channel in and a...

The faecal indicator bacterium Escherichia coli and thermotolerant Campylobacter spp., which are potentially pathogenic, were investigated in the Toenepi Stream draining a pastoral catchment dominated by dairying. Bacteria concentrations were monitored routinely at fortnightly intervals over 12 months and intensively during storm events to compare the transport dynamics of bacterial indicator a...

In the recent years floods and accompanying landslides, have occurred quite frequently in Romania. Some of these have been isolated and others have affected large areas of Romania. One region, which suffers from floods on a regular basis, is the transboundary area of the Crisul Alb, Crisul Negru and Kőrős River. An important objective of the NATO SfP 978016 project entitled “Monitoring of extre...
