In Brazil can be identified several environmental issues, one of the most recurrent are the floods. This phenomenon is concentrated in urban areas, in which the urbanization process has a key role being directly related ...
Do Dipteryx alata Vogel seedlings recover the quality and the photosynthetic and antioxidant responses in the post-flooding?
(2021-01-01)
Dipteryx alata Vogel is a tree species widely found in Cerrado, settling preferentially in well drained soils. Studies related to ecophysiology of D. alata may contribute to the decision making about using seedlings of ...
Computing, a Powerful Tool for Improving the Parameters Simulation Quality in Flood Prediction
(Elsevier Science, 2014-06)
Floods have caused widespread damage throughout the world. Modelling and simulation provide solutions and tools which enable us to forecast and make necessary steps toward prevention. One problem that must be handled by ...
Assessment of microscale economic flood losses in urban and agricultural areas: case study of the Santa Bárbara River, Ecuador
(2020)
To reduce and prevent significant economic flood losses, reliable tools are required to estimate potential river inundation effects. This paper focuses on the estimation of direct damages caused by flooding with different ...
Potential increase in floods in California’s Sierra Nevada under future climate projections
(2011-12)
California’s mountainous topography, exposure to occasional heavily moisture-laden
storm systems, and varied communities and infrastructures in low lying areas make it highly
vulnerable to floods. An important question ...
Flood Hazard Index Application in Arid Catchments: Case of the TaguenitWadi Watershed, Lakhssas, Morocco
(2022)
During the last decade, climate change has generated extreme rainfall events triggering flash
floods in short periods worldwide. The delimitation of flood zones by detailed mapping generally
makes it possible to avoid ...
