A Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملHealth Risk Assessment of Some Heavy Metals in Groundwater Resources of Birjand Flood Plain Using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Model
Background & objectives: In general, contamination of drinking water sources by heavy metals can poses a serious threat to the living organism, especially human. Therefore, this research examines the concentration of some heavy metals in groundwater resources and their impact on consumer health. Methods: In this study, samples were collected from 17 wells in Birjand flood plain, in autumn of 2...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness, Costs and Coastal Protection Benefits of Natural and Nature-Based Defences.
There is great interest in the restoration and conservation of coastal habitats for protection from flooding and erosion. This is evidenced by the growing number of analyses and reviews of the effectiveness of habitats as natural defences and increasing funding world-wide for nature-based defences-i.e. restoration projects aimed at coastal protection; yet, there is no synthetic information on w...
متن کاملAn Approach for Filtering Lidar Data in Coastal Vegetated Areas Using Intensity Information and Multiple Echoes
Accurate digital terrain models (DTM) are one of the most important requirements for many applications in coastal management and safety, such as the calculation of the volume of dunes and dikes for the purpose of coastal protection. Airborne LIDAR sensors provide dense height information of large areas in an efficient manner, therefore such data are appropriate to derive suitable DTM. Besides r...
متن کاملflood risk zonation for karaj city using fuzzy logic
1. introduction flood is one of natural hazard which ranks the most one just like earthquake and drought according to the report of the natural hazard program of the united nations. besides physical factors, and lack proper management will increase the flood potential. therefore, in order to prevent flood damage it seems to be necessary to provide essential requirements before physical expansio...
