Book Environmental Fluid Mechanics   M  chanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Download or read book Environmental Fluid Mechanics M chanique des Fluides Environnementaux written by CIGB ICOLD and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dams are planned, constructed, and operated to meet human needs - generation of energy, irrigated agricultural production, flood control, public and industrial supply, supply of drinking water, and various other purposes. Dams impound water in reservoirs during times of high flood that can be used for human requirements during times with inadequate natural flows. Positive impacts of dams are improved flood control, improved welfare resulting from new access to irrigation and drinking water. Without dams there would be insufficient food to feed the world’s people and energy would be generated by burning fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. Despite this progress there remain significant concerns about the environmental impacts of dams. These environmental impacts are complex and far reaching, remote of the dam, and may occur in time with the dam construction or later and may lead to a loss of biodiversity and of productivity of natural resources. This bulletin compiles improvements in knowledge and state of the art technology to avoid or mitigate environmental impacts of dams on the natural ecosystem as well as to the people that depend upon them for their livelihood and also addresses the mitigation of environmental impacts on dams and reservoirs. Les barrages sont planifiés, construits et exploités de manière à répondre aux besoins humains. Les barrages retiennent l'eau dans les réservoirs pendant les périodes de forte crue, une eau qui peut être utilisée pour les besoins de l'homme pendant les périodes d’insuffisance des débits naturels. Les impacts positifs de barrages sont le contrôle des crues et l'amélioration du bien-être résultant du nouvel accès à l'irrigation et à l'eau potable. Sans barrages, la production alimentaire serait insuffisante pour nourrir la population du globe et l'énergie serait générée en brûlant des combustibles fossiles qui produisent des gaz à effet de serre. Malgré ces progrès, d'importantes préoccupations subsistent quant aux retombées des barrages sur l’environnement. Les impacts environnementaux sont complexes et d’une grande portée. Ils peuvent se produire au moment de la construction du barrage ou plus tard et peuvent entraîner une perte de la biodiversité et de la productivité des ressources naturelles. Le présent bulletin compile l'amélioration des connaissances et des technologies les plus récentes pour éviter ou atténuer les impacts environnementaux des barrages sur l'écosystème naturel ainsi que pour les personnes qui en dépendent pour leur subsistance. Il aborde également l'atténuation des impacts environnementaux sur les barrages et les réservoirs.

Book Congo Basin Hydrology  Climate  and Biogeochemistry

Download or read book Congo Basin Hydrology Climate and Biogeochemistry written by Raphael M. Tshimanga and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New scientific discoveries in the Congo Basin as a result of international collaborations The Congo is the world's second largest river basin and home to 120 million people. Understanding the cycling of water, sediments, and nutrients is important as the region faces climatic and anthropogenic change. Congo Basin Hydrology, Climate, and Biogeochemistry: A Foundation for the Future explores variations in and influences on rainfall, hydrology and hydraulics, and sediment and carbon dynamics. It features contributions from experts in the region and their international collaborators. Volume highlights include: New in-situ and remotely sensed measurements and model results Use of historic data to assess precipitation and hydrologic changes Exploration of water exchange between wetlands and rivers Biogeochemical processes in the Congo's forests and wetlands A scientific foundation for hydrologic resource management in the region Studies from different parts of the Congo river and its adjoining basins This book is available in English and French. The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals. Find out more about this book in this short video and this article.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette tude est r alis e dans le bassin versant du lac Togo, bassin important dans l' conomie de la r gion Maritime. L'enqu te de terrain a cibl les cultures mara ch res, de la canne sucre, de fleurs, de riz et l'usine de lavage de gravier comme activit s dont l'usage de l'eau para t important. Apr s la quantification de l'eau utilis e par ses activit s, des essais de simulation des sc narios de ces activit s ont t r alis s pour valuer les impacts de ces usages sur les d bits des fleuves l'aide du mod le HYDROTEL du syst me Gestion Int gr e par Bassin versant l'aide d'un Syst me Informatis (GIBSI). Les r sultats pr sent s montre que la simulation de chacune des activit s (mara chage, canne sucre et des plantes ornementales) montre une diminution de 2% du d bit des fleuves Zio et Haho. Par contre, la simulation d'un sc nario futur d'une surface rizi re montre une diminution de 18% du d bit du fleuve Haho et une modification de la quantit d'eau disponible pour les divers usages dans le bassin. Cette tude permet de remarquer l'influence plus ou moins d terminante de certaines activit s sur le r gime hydrologique des cours d'eau l' chelle d'un bassin versant.
