<p>In this paper data about actual infrastructure performance of two railway tracks in the mostly populated area of the Netherlands are correlated with regional<br />climate data in order to model future performance and apply appropriate interventions to cope ...

The Spring of 2011 brought heavy rainfall and snowmelt throughout the Midwest, resulting in record flow rates and flood stages on the Lower Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico. In many locations, the flood crested at levels above those ...

Water-related disasters most perceived by the public are those caused by large-scale riverine floods. There is evidence, however, that the most deadly events, which are driven by extreme precipitation, are those that are difficult to predict, such as debris ...

This chapter provides information on the potential and magnitude of mud floods and mudflows that may develop in Aspen due to rainfall events, snowmelt, or rain on snow events. This chapter also provides guidance on the design process for sites at risk for ...

Minimization differences on Cellular Automata approach to predict new inundated area of hot mudflow on LUSI mud eruption disaster which occurred in Sidoarjo area is proposed. There are three characteristics of hot mudflow that is unique such as surface material ...

In summary, the Centerville Neighborhood Revitalization Plan includes Five Star Rated row homes, duplexes, and stacked town homes, a solar energy system to power common areas and a state of the art stormwater management system to protect against flooding and ...

Since its inception in 1835, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has been responsible for providing much of the earth science related information that is required by government, the public and institutions. These requirements have evolved over time, with emphasis ...
