T he flow of the Los Angeles River, ever-precarious and never navigable, attracted settlement along its shifting course for centuries. When the cataclysmic 1938 flood followed on the heels of lesser, recurrent flooding, the straightening and channeling of fifty-one miles of the river began in earnest, until engineers had riven the city with a concrete conduit from the Chatsworth hills to the So...

Abstract Urban sewer system management is challenging due to its higher vulnerability flooding caused by rapid urbanization and climate change. For local decision-makers, storm water essential for urban planning development. Therefore, the main objective of this study develop a numerical model sewerage network central catchment area Algiers since it has experienced frequent overflows during win...

Early flood warning and real-time monitoring systems play a key role in flood risk reduction and disaster response decisions. Global-scale flood forecasting and satellite-based flood detection systems are currently operating, however their reliability for decision making applications needs to be assessed. In this study, we performed comparative evaluations of several operational global flood fo...

Spatiotemporal modeling of wetland environments’ hydrodynamics and water quality characteristics is key to understanding managing these ecologically important areas’ physical environmental properties. We developed a two-dimensional numerical model based on the MIKE 21 module analyze flow pollution dynamics in island-dominated Sanyang eastern China. Three simulation periods representing annual p...

Review of Mike Wayne's Marxism Goes to the Movies (London: Routledge, 2020).

Accurate estimation of input parameters is essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of hydrologic and water quality modelling. Calibration is an approach to obtain accurate input parameters for comparing observed and simulated results. However, the calibration approach is limited as it is only applicable to catchments where monitoring data is available. Therefore, methodology to estimat...

A floodplain is an area of low-lying land adjacent to a river, stream, or other water body that regularly inundated by during periods high flow. Floodplains typically have relatively flat terrain and are composed sediments deposited the river over time. Floodplain flow refers movement across surface This can occur as result spilling banks seeping into ground then re-emerging on floodplain. Bank...

Among the various factors that contribute to flood risk, heavy storms, inadequate storm drainage systems, and the concentration of population and assets have usually been considered to be fundamental factors affecting flood damage. Climate change is also a real threat, bringing heavier and more frequent storms. This study presents a methodology for comparatively evaluating the impact of the flo...
