It is then important to restore wetlands and flood plains (Brémond et al., 2013) as a policy during flood risk management (Ferreira et al., 2023). Wetlands restauration, trough planting or seeding has had significantly improvement on attenuating floods peaks (Dakhlalla and Parajuli, 2016; ...
Juvenile Cyprinidae represented more than 80% of all fish in the lower Irtysh. Illumination level had the strongest effect on fish density, fish density was significantly higher at night. Effects of local ecological heterogeneity and the water level change were relatively weak. Downstream and upstream...
Snowmelt flooding naturally occurs in the spring when the winter snowpack melts in mountainous regions. It is ideal for the snowpack to gradually melt, but unusually warm air temperatures in the spring and rainfall on the snowpack—termed a rain-on-snow melt event—can result in dangerous ...
In addition to the threat from rainfall, some minor coastal flooding, high surf and rip currents are likely along parts of the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Some wind gusts to tropical storm-force (at least 39 mph) are possible along the middle and upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coasts Mo...
Iceland is well known for its striking scenery: vast empty plains, broken by high, dark mountains capped by glaciers, whose meltwaters produce thunderous rivers and magnificent waterfalls during summertime. Indeed, flood basalts of the world are home to waterfalls ranging in size from small cascade...
s proposal marks a new approach to that problem. The plan includes tougher building codes for new buildings, constructing new flood-resistant infrastructure and helping residents understand the climate risk they face. But retrofitting or moving the structures that already exist in flood plains may be...
From the Central Plains into the mid-Atlantic, there were an average of 27.5 tornadoes occurring each day in the country in past 13 days, said the authorities. One day after a massive destructive tornado hit midwestern state Ohio, another dangerous tornado touched down in Kansas on Tuesday, st...
That there were hundreds of millions of years of rain throughout the history of the earth is evident from the existence of rivers, flood-plains, glaciers, fresh water lakes, water erosion and transportation of sediments, and many others, among them fossil raindrop imprints in formerly soft mud...
