Originality/value: The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach by not only considering the direct impacts of floods on health but also exploring the social and cultural dimensions of riverside communities. This integration of health, environment, and social sciences enhances th...

Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flo
The study concludes that the impacts of floods in the Niger Delta are varied and on two dimensions of deleterious and beneficial; and hence recommends that agrarian communities should be supported to commence planting earlier to avoid been cut up by flood; governments and NGOs should focus on ...
Floods in the Sierra Nevada are produced by snowmelt, winter rain- fall and rain-on-snow events, summer thunderstorms, and failure of impoundments. Floods routinely modify channel conditions and there- fore affect aquatic and riparian communities. Riparian vegetation has a variety of interactions ...
In addition, local capacities of school communities which are more apparent in times of small-scale floods are also neglected. The study then argues that meaningful policies and actions which aim to reduce disaster risk and thus address global learning crisis in the education sector should fully ...
Lacina:,Long-Term Impacts of the 1997 Floods in the Morava River Basin. Geografie Sbornik CGS, 105, 2, pp. 141 154 (2000). In 1997 disastrous floods, unparalleled since meteorological and climatic measurements have been carried out, took place in the catchment of the Morava river and other...
The extreme rainfall events in the unusually wet year of 2010 brought about major changes in the floodplains of several streams in Hungary. On the small watercourses in low mountain or hill environments flash floods were generated. In the floodplains of medium-sized rivers, like the Kapos River...

Agricultural practices may be adaptable, but changes like increased temperatures, water stress, diseases, and weather extremes create chal...
Communities living around the Simiyu wetlands are vulnerable to seasonal fluctuations as their socio-economic ac- tivities are highly dependent on rainfall since 87% of respondents practice rainfed agriculture. It is concluded that incidences of climate variations are increasing and have implications for...
