Download or read book Inland Flood Hazards written by Ellen E. Wohl and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-03 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume was originally published in 2000 and presents a comprehensive, interdisciplinary review of issues related to inland flood hazards. It addresses physical controls on flooding, flood processes and effects, and responses to flooding, from the perspective of human, aquatic, and riparian communities. Individual chapter authors are recognized experts in their fields who draw on examples and case studies of inland flood hazards from around the world. This volume is unusual among treatments of flood hazards in that it addresses how the non-occurrence of floods, in association with flow regulation and other human manipulation of river systems, may create hazards for aquatic and riparian communities. This book will be a valuable resource for everyone associated with inland flood hazards: professionals in government and industry, and researchers and graduate students in civil engineering, geography, geology, hydrology, hydraulics, and ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American West at Risk summarizes the dominant human-generated environmental challenges in the 11 contiguous arid western United States - America's legendary, even mythical, frontier. When discovered by European explorers and later settlers, the west boasted rich soils, bountiful fisheries, immense, dense forests, sparkling streams, untapped ore deposits, and oil bonanzas. It now faces depletion of many of these resources, and potentially serious threats to its few "renewable" resources. The importance of this story is that preserving lands has a central role for protecting air and water quality, and water supplies--and all support a healthy living environment. The idea that all life on earth is connected in a great chain of being, and that all life is connected to the physical earth in many obvious and subtle ways, is not some new-age fad, it is scientifically demonstrable. An understanding of earth processes, and the significance of their biological connections, is critical in shaping societal values so that national land use policies will conserve the earth and avoid the worst impacts of natural processes. These connections inevitably lead science into the murkier realms of political controversy and bureaucratic stasis. Most of the chapters in The American West at Risk focus on a human land use or activity that depletes resources and degrades environmental integrity of this resource-rich, but tender and slow-to-heal, western U.S. The activities include forest clearing for many purposes; farming and grazing; mining for aggregate, metals, and other materials; energy extraction and use; military training and weapons manufacturing and testing; road and utility transmission corridors; recreation; urbanization; and disposing of the wastes generated by everything that we do. We focus on how our land-degrading activities are connected to natural earth processes, which act to accelerate and spread the damages we inflict on the land.

This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geomorphic Stability of Sandbar 43. 1l on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon in Response to Ground Water Seepage During Fluctuating Flow Releases From Glen Canyon Dam The Colorado River riparian zone and its associated resources in the Grand Canyon are influenced by the operation of Glen Canyon Dam. The'dam was constructed for several reasons, but primarily for flood control and water storage for Arizona, California and Nevada, as well as hydroelectric generation. The hydroelectric capability is designed to provide peak power generation during daily peak electrical demands. Consequently, the release of water from the dam fluctuates with power demand, and a daily surge of water continues downstream through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. Water levels in the river have fluctuated in narrow parts of the canyon as much as 4 meters in one day. A more typical fluctuation is from 1 to 3 meters. Interrelated processes occurring between the river and its riparian areas are affected by the fluctuation. This report describes the relationship of bank stored ground water to sandbar erosion occurring during fluctuating Colorado River flows. The Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam is within both Glen Canyon nra and Grand Canyon np. Nps concerns include the preservation of sandbars along the Colorado River. These sandbars have high natural resources value and are used as camping sites by park visitors floating down the river. The terms sandbars, alluvial sand deposits, selected alluvial deposits, and sediment deposits, have been used to describe what are colloquially called beaches. In this report, the term sandbar will be used to be consistent with recent reports of other investigators. The purpose of this report is to evaluate and demonstrate the role of ground water on sandbar erosion observed at Sandbar 43.1l during daily fluctuations of the Colorado River. The objectives are: 1) to confirm that ground water is a contributing factor to erosion; 2) to quantify sandbar erosion rates directly associated with ground water seepage from the sandbar; and 3) present a hypothesis of ground water related processes contributing to sandbar erosion.
