Devastating flash floods and uncontrollable soil erosion, largely fallout of the effects climate change, have been taking their toll on Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Apart from disrupting ecosystem, overwhelming are felt in agricultural sector as farmlands washed away. The media expected to enlighten residents FCT, Abuja, about impact change. They be aware global warming its...

We adapted a semi-distributed hydrological model (GRSD) to improve its versatility simulate flood events occurring under different conditions, especially flash floods after dry summer periods in the Mediterranean region. The adaptation introduces dependency on rainfall intensity production function. evaluation over 2008–2018 Aude catchment (France) showed that new structure does not deteriorate...

High-resolution ensemble simulations (∆x = 1km) are performed with the Met Office Unified Model for the Boscastle (Cornwall, UK) flash-flooding event of 16 August 2004. Forecast uncertainties arising from imperfections in the forecast model are analysed by comparing the simulation results produced by two types of perturbation strategy. Motivated by the meteorology of the event, one type of pert...

T HE DISASTER IN LEH. Less than 1 week after the catastrophic slow-rise flooding of the Indus River in Pakistan in late July 2010 (Houze et al. 2011), f looding of a different, more sudden type produced a disaster in the city of Leh, India, located 500 km to the east. The town of Leh, located in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir State in India, is a high-altitude cold desert valley, 3,500 ...

Abstract Flash floods are largely driven by high rainfall rates in convective storms that projected to increase frequency and intensity a warmer climate the future. However, quantifying changes future flood flashiness is challenging due lack of high-resolution simulations. Here we use outputs from continental convective-permitting numerical weather model at 4-km hourly resolution force hydrolog...

Floods are the result of natural disasters in an area due to prolonged continued and heavy rains frequently followed by a proliferation mosquitoes creation large number breeding habitats. In endemic zones for VBDs, vector mosquito species require special attention planning immediate control measures as these areas may pose threat public health. Natural continue strike unabated, flash floods rai...

The dangers of torrents and floods that taken place repeatedly in many countries of the world, Saudi Arabia is one of them, are impossible to be fully prevented or controlled. But it is possible to limit its effects and minimize its losses. That's by defining the endangered places and sitting suitable maps for them as well as conducting researches and studies that enhance the real-time flash fl...
