Book Flood Hazard Identification and Mitigation in Semi  and Arid Environments

Download or read book Flood Hazard Identification and Mitigation in Semi and Arid Environments written by Richard H. French and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alluvial fans are ubiquitous geomorphological features that occur throughout the world, regardless of climate, at the front of mountains as the result of erosion and deposition. They are more prominent in semi- and arid climates simply because of the lack of vegetative cover that masks their fan shapes in more humid areas. From both engineering and geological viewpoints, alluvial fans present particular fluvial and sedimentation hazards in semi- and arid regions because episodic rainfall-runoff events can result in debris, mud, and fluvial flows through complex and, in some cases, migratory channel systems. Further, in semi- and arid climates alluvial fans often end in terminal or playa lakes. Given the uniform topography of playa lakes, these features often present ideal locations for facilities such as airports; however, regardless of the engineering advantages of the topography, the episodic and often long-term flooding of these lakes attracts migratory birds. The purpose of this volume is to summarize the current state-of-the-art, from the viewpoint of engineering, in the identification and mitigation of flood hazard on alluvial fans; and to accomplish this a fundamental understanding of geology is required.

Book Engineering Hydrology

Download or read book Engineering Hydrology written by Chin Y. Kuo and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 1264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings, Engineering Hydrology, contains papers that were presented at the Symposium held in San Francisco, California, July 25-30, 1993. The objectives of the Symposium are to provide a forum for technology transfer among practicing hydrologic engineers, to present recent advances in engineering hydrology with emphasis on their applications to practical problems of engineering design and analysis, and to bridge the gap between the theory and the practical profession. The topics covered in this proceedings have a very broad range including: precipitation and runoff; drought and water supply; frequency analysis of extreme events; groundwater flow and contaminant transport; minimum stream flow and habitat; geographical information systems; watershed modeling; and global climate change.
