The practice of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the planning processes of infrastructure projects has created significant awareness in many parts of the world on the benefits of environmentally sound and sustainable urban development. In the Philippines, the construction of structural flood mitigation measures (SFMMs) gets high priority from the national government to immediately addre...

High floods in watercourses are of great interest. because of the potential hazards they pose to people and low-lying land near rivers. In many parts of the world, inundations are common and in northwest Europe there are high discharges almost every year, occasio...

Abstract. Flooding has always been a devastating hazard for social and economic assets activities. Especially, lowland areas such as coastal regions can be more vulnerable to inundations. The combination of different natural hazards observed at the same time is definitely worsening situation in affected regions. goal this study conduct distinctive multi-hazard analysis considering flood with co...

The increased demand for natural resources, economic growth and graph can influence the reduction of individual land use coverage, which makes water infiltration difficult. objective was to evaluate, through morphometric parameters land-use occupation, flooding susceptibility in Campestre creek watershed. An analysis indexes performed with help tools presented SPRING 5.4.3 software. characteris...

Increased temperature rates have the potential to change rainfall regime in a given region, as well intensify its extreme events, which may lead significant and negative socioeconomic environmental impacts on urban populations. However, knowledge about extent of changes Rio de Janeiro City (RJC) remains incipient; thus, it is necessary applying indices climate help better understanding this phe...

Nowadays, climate change not only leads to riverine floods and flash but also inland excess water (IEW) inundations drought due extreme hydrological processes. The Carpathian Basin is extremely affected by fast-changing weather conditions during the year. IEW (sometimes referred as logging) formed when, limited runoff, infiltration, evaporation, surplus remains on surface or in places where gro...
