A new flood management programme is now underway in the Downfield area of Dundee, with a feasibility and outline design for the first phase of the sustainable drainage project now finalised for St Leonard Park. This represents the start of a new storm water drainage strategy for the St Mary’s area of the city, developed in partnership by Dundee City Council and Scottish Water, alongside ...
Has COVID-19 compounded the risk to the people affected by floods? Flooding (fluvial, pluvial, tidal and storm surge) affects the lives, livelihoods and socio-economic activities of millions of people every year and displaces them from their homesteads, communities and socio-cultural setting. ...
Building an underground water tank is one of the most vital ways of protecting your home or business against the danger and devastation of a bush fire. It can be a lengthy process, but if you plan every section of the build comprehensively and make sure your contractors are prepared for every eventuality, you’ll be able to get your underground water tank completed and doing the job it was ...
Rainfall equal to what other parts of the country experienced in 2007 could flood roads within minutes and cause river flooding soon thereafter. ...
CLIENT: Environment Agency RECLAMATION STRATEGY: Low permeability barrier CONTAMINATION: Flood defence END USE: Flood defence Project Overview There are around 7,500 km of coastal and river flood embankments in England and Wales. Effective performance of these embankments during extreme flood events is critical for the ...
“One of the issues [that Long Branch officials] found was that the drainage system ended up being a path for flood waters to re-enter the town,” said Dave Gillespie, operations manager at Valve Tech Sales. ...
The integrated flood modeling is becoming popular and a new benchmark for urban flood risk management studies. ...

In Semarang urban coastal areas experience daily flooding from the sea during high tide (tidal flooding). Flourishing residential areas have changed into unhealthy slums with the nuisance of daily flooding in parts of the city. To overcome these problems a polder system was implemented to address the tidal ...
To protect coasts against tidal flooding, the city plans to reinforce beaches, build bulkheads, and protect sand dunes that act as natural barriers. ...
Glossary Afforestation: Cultivating plants (mangroves) in an area where no plants (mangroves) grew previously Air layering: A form of vegetative propagation where a branch is stimulated to form roots while still on the parent plant by removing part of the bark and keeping the area moist Cotyledon: Leaf forming part of embryo or newly emerged seedling Ecosystem: Part of the environment that can ...
A high resolution model mesh was required to numerically simulate sediment transport in tidal marshes. The timing of flooding is dependent on the tidal marsh ground elevation, which requires accurate topographic elevation data. The tidal prism of the marsh is determined by the volume provided by tidal channels ...
Sea level rise is a gradual process, not a single event like a tsunami. Land first gets flooded temporarily during high tide or stormy weather. Salt intrusion can render soil and groundwater unusable well before permanent inundation happens. The Maldivians saw early evidence of this in April 1987, when the highest tidal waves in memory flooded a ...
African countries face a growing threat of hydro-meteorological disasters such as droughts, floods, pest infestations, water-related epidemics, storms and cyclones. ...
Tidal effect has a significant impact on flood routing in tidal rivers, conceptually taking on a resistant effect during flood tide and a dynamic effect during ebb tide. Two expressions were developed to reflect the tidal effect in this study, which consisted of the tidal wave velocity, the ...
A large 1.6 metre valve that stops tidal waters getting into the stormwater network will help stop flooding in the city centre during heavy rainfalls. High tidal levels and heavy rain cause problems in Porirua, New Zealand. ...
