These areas were already the most flood prone and could be subjected to worse flooding if stronger complete embankments were built along these rivers. A char is defined as a “mid-channel island that periodically emerges from the riverbed as a result of accretion” (Elahi, Ahmed, & Mafiz...
We apply direct market pricing methods to assess seasonal land use benefits in flood-prone and dry villages. While primary benefits are associated with rice cultivation, we find that flood-prone communities adapt their livelihoods to seasonal inundation, for instance, by using land alternately for ...
After a century of evolving flood policies, there has been a steady increase in flood losses, which has partly been driven by development in flood prone ar... LA Patterson,MW Doyle - 《Jawra Journal of the American Water Resources Association》 被引量: 41发表: 2010年 New Urbanist development...
Floodplain ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots and supply multiple ecosystem services. At the same time they are often prone to human pressures that incre
In this study, a wetland reallocation (WR) plan based on water-indicator is designed to confront various ecological crisis and flood risks on Yonding River Floodplain, China, where converting farmland to wetland (CFW) and water diversion (WD) can be considered to balance the tradeoff between ma...
To compare our estimates herein to those of the Development History Project, the area of some FoFWS within the Barwon-Darling catchment but not in the floodworks in the floodplain management plan were included in the estimates herein. This amounted to an additional 794.82 ha of FoFWS east of...

Various studies have provided strong evidence that the flooding of pastureland can indeed result in elevated concentrations of POPs in milk and meat produced on flood-prone land [52,56,57]. POPs are adsorbed on soil organic matter or in the plant rhizosphere so strongly that they are marginally...
