Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In May 2020, Otago Regional Council (ORC) commissioned Jacobs to undertake a coastal morphology and climate change investigation of the Molyneux Bay - Clutha Delta area. The purpose of this investigation is to help guide decision making regarding management of this coastline and delta area, including the mouth training wall structures, floodbanks and coastal drainage channels of the Lower Clutha Flood Protection and Drainage Scheme(LCFPDS). The investigation included an assessment of coastal erosion over the next 30 to 50 years with sea levelrise and climate change, and for coastal inundation 0.2m sea level increments from 0.2m to 1.0m plus anextreme scenario of 1.35m rise. The impact that these hazards on LCFPDS infrastructure was also assessed"--Page i (second series).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water Institute of the Gulf is a not-for-profit, independent research institute dedicated to advancing the understanding of coastal, deltaic, river and water resource systems, both within the Gulf Coast and around the world. Their mission supports the practical application of innovative science and engineering, providing solutions that benefit society. Those who make policy for coastal and deltaic systems, as well as managers of natural resources, need high-quality science and engineering to guide their decisions. The Water Institute of the Gulf began operations in 2012 to address exactly this sort of challenge. Delta Waters offers advice to The Water Institute of the Gulf that it might use as part of its strategic planning process. This report focuses on strategic research to support integrated water resources management in the lower Mississippi River delta and includes international comparative assessments. The recommendations of Delta Waters promote a human and environmental systems approach to scientific research that supports integrated water and environmental resources management in the lower Mississippi River and delta, and offers ideas regarding comparative assessments with other, relevant deltaic regions around the world. This report provides input for research into common deltaic problems and challenges, identifies strategic research for The Water Institute of the Gulf, and suggests ways that the organization can utilize knowledge gained from the lower Mississippi River and delta system in developing a research program to support water management decisions in other large river/delta complexes.
Download or read book Connecting Delta Cities written by Jeroen Aerts and published by Vu Boekhandel/Uitgeverij. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, more than 50% of the entire world population lives in cities. According to the United Nations more than two-thirds of the world's large cities are vulnerable to rising sea levels, exposing millions of people to the risk of extreme floods and storms. Within the coming 30 years, the United Nations project that the number of people living in cities will increase to 60% of the world's population, resulting in even more people living in highly exposed areas. Both scientists and policy makers have addressed the issue of adapting to the challenge of climate change, and both call for embedding long term scenarios in city planning and investments in all sectors. Based on estimations of costs of estimations, it appears that investing in adaptation now would save money in the long term. This book shows the different aspects of climate adaptation. It is an independent investigation of comparative adaptation problems and progress in the cities of Rotterdam, New York and Jakarta. In this regard, each city faces different challenges; one of the lessons of the Connecting Delta Cities initiative is that while cities will follow adaptation paths that may differ, sometimes substantially, each city can learn from the others.

Download or read book Flood Management written by Makayla Lynwood and published by Larsen and Keller Education. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flood is a natural hazard that occurs due to an overflow of water from rivers, oceans or lakes, or due to the accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground. It can potentially lead to a loss of life, cause damage to buildings and other infrastructure, damage power generation and transmission, cause diseases due to release of sewage, etc. Detection of flood can occur through remote sensing and Synthetic Aperture Radar images. Various flood control strategies can be implemented for managing these effects. Planting vegetation, terracing hillsides, constructing levees, dams, floodways, retention ponds, etc. are some ways to manage floods. This textbook is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of flood management. It unfolds the innovative aspects of this field, which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
