As climate change continues to disrupt global weather patterns, the frequency and severity of flood events have increased dramatically. Floods not only threaten lives and property, but also impact infrastructure, agriculture, and economic activity on a large scale. To mitigate these risks, modern technologies are being leveraged to create responsive and scalable ...
As climate change continues to disrupt global weather patterns, the frequency and severity of flood events have increased dramatically. Floods not only threaten lives and property, but also impact infrastructure, agriculture, and economic activity on a large ...
Long-range, wide-area network water meters and flood prevention devices add cost effective detection in tenant billing applications. ...
Real-time data is used for early warning to detect flooding and leaks. Collected data is also analyzed to provide insights on performance and enable opportunities for optimization, improving efficiency and planning future upgrades/maintenance needs. ...
One of the most common types of natural disasters is flooding. They can dominate a community, region, or in the case of massive flooding due to the devastation, it is important to be properly prepared to deal with them before they occur. This is why many environmentally conscious organizations and groups are investing in flood ...
That's why Watts and Syncta recently partnered to create SentryPlus AlertTM Technology, an innovative flood protection system that uses connected technology to detect and protect against excessive Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) discharge. ...
This year's flooding across the Midwest and the South affected nearly 14 million people, yet the full scale of the slowly unfolding disaster has been difficult to fathom. ...
Drones are used on the site level to map specific sites, detect fires or flood risks, scan burned areas for damages, operate other technology like LiDAr technology or multispectral cameras, disperse seeds, and apply herbicides and pesticides. ...
Its key objectives were to be able to improve forecast models, develop new national water cycle models, detect potential flooding events, to then analyse the danger posed and to then inform and warn the affected ...
We describe the detection methods and the results of anomalous conditions in dikes (earthen dams/levees) based on a simultaneous processing of several data streams originating from sensors installed in these dikes. Applied methods are especially valuable in cases where lack of information or computational resources prohibit computing the state of the dike with finite element and other ...
Changes in observed streamflow records for 131 catchments from the state of Victoria in southeast Australia are investigated for the 1975–2011 study period. Seven flood indices are considered which are derived from annual maximum, peak-over-threshold (POT) and monthly maximum flood series. Trend analyses are undertaken using Mann–Kendall (MK) and seasonal MK tests along with the bootstrap ...
A remote sensing approach for flood mitigation is presented. Landsat TM satellite imagery and digital topographic sheets were the main datasets for mapping a section of the Qu'Appelle River, located in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Three time-series change detection images for periods between 1988-1992, 1992-2000 and 1988-2000 demonstrate that Landsat satellite ...
Ideally, these tools should provide a clear and objective presentation of security data in such a way as to let network administrators detect or even predict network security breaches. However, most of these data are still presented only in raw text form or through inadequate data presentation techniques. ...
