Promoting comprehensive improvement and high-quality development an important guarantee long-term stability part promoting ecological protection In this paper, four new indexes (flood risk intensity index, accessibility biological abundance remote sensing index) were extracted from geospatial data images, a quantitative evaluation mod...

Floods represent one of the most prevalent natural hazards in Europe, despite being an integral part of the river dynamics. It has been suggested that changes in climate and land use might lead to an altered magnitude and frequency of flood events. However, the mechanisms underlying such changes in flood generation still need to be elucidated. In this study, we develop a conceptual framework to...

Floods along the Atlantic coast of Limbe are most predominant natural disaster posing serious threats to man and environment. Without adequate information about risk levels why implementation locally appropriate adaptation measures less effective, flood disasters will continue become more rampant disastrous. The ability accurately identify, measure evaluate various vulnerabilities affected peop...

[1] Annual maximum peak discharge time series from 572 stations with a record of at least 75 years in the eastern United States are used to examine flood peak distributions from a regional perspective. The central issues of this study are (1) “mixtures” of flood peak distributions, (2) upper tail properties of flood peaks, (3) scaling properties of flood peaks, (4) spatial heterogeneities of fl...

Floods are among the most devastating natural hazards in society. Flood forecasting is crucially important in order to provide warnings in time to protect people and properties from such disasters. This research applied the high-resolution coupled hydrologic–hydraulic model from the University of California, Irvine, named HiResFlood-UCI, to simulate the historical 2008 Iowa flood. HiResFlood-UC...

This study investigates the influence of the flood pulse on the reproductive biology of the auchenipterids Tocantisia piresi (Miranda Ribeiro, 1920) and Auchenipterus nuchalis (Spix & Agassiz, 1829) from the middle Xingu River in the Brazilian state of Pará. The specimens were collected every three months between April, 2012, and January, 2014, covering four distinct periods (flood, ebb, dry, a...

Distributed watershed models constitute a key component in flood forecasting systems. It is widely recognized that models because of their structural differences have varying capabilities of capturing different aspects of the system behaviour equally well. Of course, this also applies to the reproduction of peak discharges by a simulation model which is of particular interest regarding the floo...
