Figure 1. The species richness of aquatic macro-invertebrates among three stream types. The same number of species was found in the forest and urban streams. There was an insignificantly higher number of species found in the agriculture stream. Figure 2. The biotic index of the three types of streams was calculated by the sum of total tolerance values divided by the sum of total number of individuals. The forest stream had the lowest FBI value, followed by the urban stream and the agriculture

private road entrance on the east end, making trespassing required to access the riverfront. In addition, the banks along the river are steep and highly susceptible to erosion. No access to the water is possible with these conditions. The site is completely within the flood zone and temporary flood protection only exists a fourth of a mile beyond the site. The area along the river and mill creek is in the floodway, meaning even minor flooding affects the area. The rest of the site is within the 100-year

The aim of this research is to develop a set of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of water-related climate change adaptation interventions at the local community level in Thai Binh province. This will help authorities at high levels, NGO officers, local residents and other beneficiaries as they can evaluate the “effectiveness” of water-related interventions. The robust indicators will help to adjust the adaptation targets for given times, to ensure the accountability to stakeholders, to provide

money, fixing the drainage system, and by coming up with procedures or regulations for future constructions, so people can build their new establishments on higher grounds. It has been stated by the Weather Channel that, “In June of 2016, the Brazos River crested just over 4 feet above its previous record flood stage at Richmond, Texas” (Tom Moore). Beings that Collage Station is located in a Bryan Valley, the area is mostly flat terrain with occasional hills and slow absorbing soil, packed with large

on water tremendously. The Pueblo flood facts are as follows; the flood occurred in 1921 in the month of June. The first flood occurred due to heavy rain that fell over a small area called Dry Creek which lies just above Pueblo, The Rise in the River caused the banks to overflow, this occurred on the evening of June 2nd. The Second Flood, which is known as the main flood took place on the night of June 3rd and will be the main focus of this paper. The Third flood occurred on the morning of June

Watershed Management Plan: Portland, Oregon Portland, Oregon is one of the most sustainable cities in the U.S and is well-known for its urban appeal. Various bureaus within the city have consistently found ways to incorporate sustainability at a time when managing economic pressures and increased demands for natural resources have otherwise been challenging. It comes as no surprise then, that efforts in restoring watershed health play a large role in the city’s overall agenda. Every watershed

During the Autumn/Winter of 2013/14, an unusually high frequency of depressions moved across the Somerset Levels, causing both fluvial and pluvial flooding on a prodigious scale. The two main rivers which flow through the Levels (River Tone/Parrett), burst their banks, spilling into the already heavily saturated flood plain. An emergency was declared and subsequently allowed the Somerset council to request financial and physical aid to the region. This essay highlights the key reasons the Somerset

University of New South Wales CVEN9611 –Urban Hydraulic Structures Assignment Stefan Felder Submitted by: Garth Cooper Student Number – z3189074   Question 1 Toowoomba City is located 125km from Brisbane in Queensland on the Western side of the Great Dividing Range. It consists of two main creek catchments, east creek and west creek catchments. In January 2011 there was a main flooding event which caused a large flood event that is described as an “Inland Tsunami”. Figure 1 - Catchment map of Toowoomba

during extreme events. Peak reduction is achieved by setting up areas within aside the river network that can be flooded in a controlled manner when the river stage reaches critical levels. In addition, peak flows are reduced by reservoirs, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS, Pasche et al., 2008), retarding basins, infiltration basins, and through targeted land management plans such as afforestation and river restoration (Reinhardt et al., 2011). Reduction of vulnerability It includes all adaptation

Hatchet Book Report In the novel Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen the theme is survival of the fittest. In Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen the book binds you to continue reading it until the very end. It like you are there with Brian and had a very descriptive image what it would look like standing next to him. “ A book is a magical thing that lets you travel to far-away places without leaving your chair” - Katrina Mayer. The plot of Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen is very interesting because of how you could
