In this paper, the problem of flooding management at the Ebro River in Spain is presented. The Ebro river presents flooding episodes in the city of Zaragoza in spring when snow melts in the Pyrenees. To avoid flooding in living areas, some lands outside the city are prepared to be flooded. This paper presents a hybrid model predictive control approach to determine and fix the level of flooding ...

The occurrence of major avalanche episodes in the Eastern Pyrenees (NE Spain) is estimated by means of the Poisson and the negative binomial distributions, assuming that they are rare events. The differences observed in their spatial distribution along the seven regions in which Eastern Pyrenees have been divided, suggests us to look for spatial variations in the relationship between extreme av...

— The ecological functioning of the Senegal River estuary and Lower Delta was negatively affected by the construction of the Diama dam in 1986. As from 1994, managed flood releases were used to rehabilitate part of the floodplain and to create an artificial estuary. By simulating the pre-dam hydrodynamics, ecosystem functions were restored. This allowed the local inhabitants to resume their tra...

The integration of sedimentological and structural data in the western end of the Ripoll syncline allows a clearer understanding of the palaeogeography of the area between the oblique termination of the Pedraforca thrust sheet and the frontal Vallfogona thrust during middle Eocene times. In this region, a 2.5-km thick clastic succession corresponding to the Bellmunt and Milany sequences infille...
