detention rockfill dams are accounted as economically efficient structures for flood control, river bed and banks protection, flow diversion, etc. as the hydraulic behavior of these structures, when are used for flood control, is affected by the depth of water in their porous media, there are interests to predict water surface profile through the body of these structures. in this research, we d...

This study demonstrates the integration of rehabilitation and flood management planning in a steep, boulder-bedded stream in a coastal urban catchment on the South Island of New Zealand. The Water of Leith, the primary stream flowing through the city of Dunedin, is used as a case study. The catchment is steep, with a short time of concentration and rapid hydrologic response, and the lower strea...

In October 2000, the flow of the River Murray entering South Australia was increased from 32 000 to 42 050 ML day 1 by release of water from an offstream reservoir, and a downstream weir was raised by 500 mm to impound the flood and enhance local floodplain inundation. The flood was maintained for about two weeks, although the duration of inundation was longer at low elevations on the floodplai...

The Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM) is a joint initiative of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Global Water Partnership (GWP). It promotes the concept of Integrated Flood Management (IFM) as a new approach to flood management. The programme is financially supported by the governments of Japan, Switzerland and Germany. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO)...

In this study, urban pluvial flood risk is studied in an actual study area using scenario simulation method based on hydrodynamics. Real weather data and GIS (Geographic Information System) data are adopted to make the results reliable. A region in Haidian District of Beijing is selected as the study area. All the rainfall scenarios (about 200 scenarios) during an 8-year period (from January 1,...

In Malaysia, flood is one of the most common disasters that happen especially in monsoon time at the end of the year; where it will cause death and property lost. Today the human activities is the major problem that contribute for this disaster such as uncontrolled development, obstruction in river, forest harvested that damage rain catchment area and others factor that contributes to flood. In...

there are different methods for controling the flood damages which one of them is flood zoning. in this method, flood zones are determined by simulating river hydraulic behavior and its flood plain for different return periods.in other hand, soil and specially plant coverage are the most effective factor to determine manning roughness coefficient. so it is expected, seasonal plant coverage chan...

Dhaka-Narayanganj-Demra (DND) Project is one of about 700 water sector projects built by Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) in Bangladesh. It was a successful project from all considerations. But during 1998 flood, there was overtopping and breaching of embankment. At that time BWDB was able to stop much inundation by doing emergency work. Still many people are building their houses and ...
