a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: palaeoflood Sinai rainfall–runoff model boulder transport flash floods The Wadi Isla drainage basin, a narrow steep bedrock canyon and its tributaries, rises near the highest elevations of the Precambrian Sinai massif on the eastern margin of the tectonically active Gulf of Suez rift. The basin area upstream from the mountain front is 191 km 2 and downstream the ...

The Mesopotamian Plain is part of the Mesopotamia which extends for vast area bigger than plain. plain almost flat and lowland, has clearly defined physiographic boundaries with other surrounding provinces. a huge accumulation geomorphologic unit, where fluvial, lacustrine, Aeolian landforms prevail; fluvial units being abundant among others. However, estuarine marine forms also are developed, ...

So profoundly has this river modified the effects of the general grassland climate that in many places prairie has given way to woodland and forest. Several distinct forest communities along the river in southeastern Nebraska and adjacent parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa extend for short distances over the uplands, but farther along the major streams. Most of the trees and shrubs of this for...

Thick Quaternary alluvial and floodplain sediments in north Hebei Plain provide important information for understanding local paleoenvironmental paleoclimatic variations. A 120.8 m drilled core (SHBZK-1) was recovered to determine the late Pleistocene climatic fluctuations, sedimentary environment their coevolutionary relationship. Laboratory analysis, including grain size distribution, magneti...

background: in the present times, arsenic poisoning contamination in the ground water has caused lots of health‑related problems in the village population residing in middle gangetic plain. in bihar, about 16 districts have been reported to be affected with arsenic poisoning. for the ground water and health assessment, simri village of buxar district was undertaken which is a flood plain region...

The paper describes the development of CVFE a 1-D/2-D Control Volume Finite Elements model within the frame of the D e cision Support system for Inundation Risk Evaluation and Emergencies management (DESIREE) project. The CVFE approach addresses and solves the discretisation problem, by defining a double mesh: the first one is a triangular mesh of FEs over which the momentum equations can be lu...

LARS/Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana The use of computer-aided analysis techniques (CAAT) and multispectral scanner data from aircraft and satellite altitudes has shown considerable promise for water resources applications. Two areas of particular interest are: (1) temperature mapping of surface water to study the environmental impact of thermal effluents and (2) snow-cover mapping in...
