The importance of flood monitoring is steadily increasing as heavy rainfall events become more frequent, requiring monitoring even in previously unaffected areas. This development calls for comprehensive and reliable monitoring to respond to flood events in a timely manner and minimize damage. However, the planning of a monitoring station can seem complex and overwhelming. In this blog ...
Pump station, river water quality, Shantang Reservoir, flood control dam, drainage station, hydrological station, urban water supply pipe network, water-saving project, etc. are all integrated into a unified intelligent real-time monitoring, opening a new mode of "Internet + water control". ...
Estimating peak river discharge, a critical issue in engineering hydrology, is essential for designing and managing hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and bridges. In the UK, practitioners typically apply the Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) statistical method which estimates the design flood as the product of a relatively frequent flow ...
The integrated flood modeling is becoming popular and a new benchmark for urban flood risk management studies. ...

In addition, cautiousness should be taken when applying it in hydrologic modeling for flooding forecasting since CMPA underestimates heavy rain (>16 mm/h). ...
Unexpected flash flooding is one of the periodic hydrological problems affecting the city of Tabuk in Saudi Arabia. ...
A further exploration on precipitation big data is discussed because estimation of precipitation is an important part of hydrology for managing floods and droughts, and understanding the global water cycle. ...
Land use/cover change (LUCC) is one of the crucial factors influencing the hydrological process, thus the flood characteristics in time and space. Therefore the evaluation of the change of flood characteristics implies an integrated analysis of LUCC and hydraulic simulation. In this study, the effect of LUCC on flood is ...
During the southwest monsoon high rainfall intensities with spatial and temporal variation causing severe floods are threatening the region. The study aims to analyze the hydrologic aspects of monsoon floods using statistical and frequency analysis. ...
A large floodplain of the River Findhorn, northeast Scotland, was investigated using hydrogeological and hydrochemical methods (including residence time indicators) to characterise groundwater/surface-water coupling and groundwater flooding. The study demonstrated widespread stratification within the floodplain: shallow (<8 mbgl) deposits are highly permeable (100 m/d); deeper deposits ...
With a paradigm shift from flood protection to flood risk management that emphasises learning to live with the floods, flood forecasting and warning have received more attention in recent times. However, for developing countries, the lack of adequate and good quality data to support traditional hydrological ...
A barrier to this is the inability for stakeholders to share information relating to water observations data: traditional hydrological information systems have relied on internal custom data formats to exchange data, leading to issues in data integration and exchange. ...
In addition to streamflow and rainfall, this procedure uses as inputs meteorological variables not employed in the model calibration. The main hydrological processes involved in transformation of rainfall into runoff are mathematically expressed using a set of key variables. ...
River flood risk map prediction is a combination of hydrological modelling, hydraulic modelling, river flood visualisation and river flood risk mapping. Two hydraulic models were applied in this research regarding their capabilities in river flood risk studies. These are MIKE11 developed by Danish Hydraulic ...
Hanson Aggregates Provision of hydrological, hydraulic and flood risk services Hydro-Logic has been engaged since 2002 on a series of investigations for Hanson Aggregates throughout England. ...
Yateley Leisure Provision of hydrological, hydraulic and flood risk services Hydro-Logic was appointed in 2007/08 to undertake a series of flood risk assessments for sites in Yateley that had previously been used for mineral extraction. ...
Flood risk is a combination of the likelihood of flooding and the potential consequences arising. There are different maps depending on the chosen hydrological scenario (see flood hazard maps). The flood risk maps should consider information about: the number of potentially affected inhabitants the type of ...
Unusually large precipitation events in 1999 and 2000 caused flooding in some Miami neighborhoods that were built in low-lying areas before established stormwater management regulations. As a result of the failure of existing stormwater infrastructure, the county commission created a Flood Management Task Force which received support from the Florida Department ...

The impact of climate change on floods and droughts in Huaihe River Basin is studied using a coupled land-surface hydrology model and continuous wavelet transform technique. ...
Summary The effects of flooding on interactions between streams and shallow aquifers are poorly studied due to the unpredictable nature of flooding events. This study examines groundwater-surface water interactions in a constructed experimental meander over several simulated flood events using hydrologic and thermal monitoring. ...
