Flood occurs as a result of rising global temperatures, more precipitation, increased runoff, and an increase in the rate urban flooding. The goal this research is to calculate flood risk assessment selected catchment Nigerian metropolis Uyo. Secondary data were obtained from Landsat images study area using correlational design. Using supervised categorization landuse area, watershed pattern, l...

Applications of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model typically involve delineation of a watershed into subwatersheds/subbasins that are then further subdivided into hydrologic response units (HRUs) which are homogeneous areas of aggregated soil, landuse, and slope and are the smallest modeling units used within the model. In a given standard SWAT application, multiple potential HRUs ...

in order to determine optimum landuses (in accordance with natural capability) and improve the current land management, landuse planning process was applied by using gis. within the framework of system analysis approach basic ecological and socio-economic , data were mapped. the mapped data were digitized and imported to idrisi and arc/info to build a database ,along with other descriptive data...

Negative impacts of gully erosion in marly areas are severe due to improper landuse practices such as irrigation, tillage, overgrazing and degradation of vegetation cover. The objective of this research was to evaluate gully thresholds related to plant vegetation cover and landuse change in the Agriculture (AG), Fair Rangeland (FR) and Weak Rangeland (WR) areas of Ghaasr-e-Shirin, Kermanshah, I...

An analysis andmulti-model approach, based on a statistically derived Global Environmental Stratification (GEnS) and using a downscaled ensemble (n = 63) of CIMP5 Earth System Models applied across four representative concentration pathways (RCP), has been used to project the impact of climate change on spatial distribution of bioclimatic zones and ecosystems within the biodiverse rich Xishuang...

The extension of urban perimeter markedly cuts available productive land. Hence, studies in urban sprawl analysis and modeling play an important role to ensure sustainable urban development. The urbanization pattern of the Greater Asmara Area (GAA), the capital of Eritrea, was studied. Satellite images and geospatial tools were employed to analyze the spatiotemporal urban landuse changes. Objec...
