Of all weather-related disasters that occur in the United States, floods are the main cause of death, and most flood-related deaths are attributed to flash floods. Whenever a weather-related disaster involves 30 or more deaths or more than $100 million in property damage, the National Weather Service (NWS) forms a survey team to investigate the disaster and write a report of findings. All NWS s...

This paper presents the results of geohazards mapping and evaluation their role in modifying urban landscape Poznań, Poland. Information on specific to an lowland area (river floods, flash mass movement, wind erosion) because increasing climate change was compiled into a geomorphological map. The most spatially widespread Poznań include: (a) moraine hills/uplands: erosion, floods (4.9% city are...

BACKGROUND Persistent and heavy rainfall in the upper and middle Huaihe River of China brought about severe floods during the end of June and July 2007.

Abstract. Floods in urban areas are one of the most common natural hazards. Due to climate change enhancing extreme rainfall and cities becoming larger denser, frequency, magnitude, impact these events expected increase. Pluvial floods can occur within minutes. A fast reliable detection system should thus be implemented flood-prone warn public upcoming save lives reduce damage. The purpose this...

Forested watersheds offer access to vital natural resources, i.e., water supply for drinking, agriculture and industry, transport routes, and hydroelectric energy. Ecosystem services provided by these watersheds are numerous and, in addition to good quality water, include reduced peak river flow during storms; increased availability of groundwater and base flow in streams during seasonal dry pe...
