Cambodia suffers from devastating droughts in the dry season and floods wet season. These events’ impacts are further amplified by ineffective water resources infrastructure that cannot retain during Water harvesting (the collection management of floodwater or rainwater runoff to increase supply for domestic agricultural use) is an approach could improve Cambodia’s resiliency against floods. De...

We describe and model the evolution of a recent landslide, tsunami, outburst flood sediment plume in southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada. On 28 November 2020, about 18 million m3 rock descended 1000 m from steep valley wall traveled across toe glacier before entering 0.6 km2 lake producing >100-m high run up. Water overtopped outlet scoured 10-km long channel depositing debris on...

Iranians have a very long history of water harvesting to address water scarcity and the consequences of frequent droughts. Among these strategies, Bandsar is a wide spread indigenous practice, which has been utilized in the central and the southern part of Khorasan province (the northeast Iran). Bandsar in Persian means a series of consecutive bands, berms, levees, or dikes. A Bandsar consists ...

This study aims at evaluating the geographical influences of rice-based protection dykes on floodwater regimes along main rivers, namely Mekong and Bassac, in Vietnamese Delta (VMD). Specifically, numerous low high have been constructed particularly upper delta’s floodplains to protect double triple rice cropping against annual flooding. For whole deltaic domain, a 1D-quasi-2D hydrodynamic mode...
