Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: Very Good, , course: Irrigation Engineering, language: English, abstract: This study is an attempt to identify the main causes and effect of flooding on agricultural production and the peoples living in the Lake Tana surroundings.
While most books examine only the classical aspects of hydrology, this three-volume set covers multiple aspects of hydrology, and includes contributions from experts from more than 30 countries.
This book provides a comprehensive exploration of morpho-hydro-sediment interactive processes to explain channel planform dynamics, integrating advanced quantitative techniques and assessing flood risks, including model-based mitigation strategies.

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide the dam engineering community with information on the technical characteristics of the various types of spillways that have been developed and implemented over the past four decades, as well as the hydraulic characteristics associated with these structures.
The production of this Bulletin is a joint effort by the Committees on Hydraulics for Dams and on Dams and Floods to pool resources in producing an overview of the state of the art, latest research and industry developments relating to the subject of blockage of spillways, intakes and bottom outlets by floating debris.

Primarily written as course material on flood control and drainage engineering for advanced students of civil engineering, this new fourth edition is again thoroughly revised.
Water control is essential to Japan, as more than half of its invested capital is concentrated in elevations under sea level and the majority of the island nation is exceptionally vulnerable to flooding.
The Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) is an emerging approach to managing the entire urban water cycle in an integrated way, which is key to achieving the sustainability of urban water resources and services.
Water Supply and Distribution Systems, Second edition is a comprehensive introduction to the topic of how water is delivered to homes and businesses throughout the world.
A 360-degree view of the response to flood riskAs major flooding events around the world show, the impact of flooding on the built environment can cause widespread chaos.
Every year the Swiss Commission for Flood Protection (KOHS) of the Swiss Association for Water Management (SWV) organizes a symposium where professionals, officers of public administrations, and researchers exchange their experiences on special topics and key projects in river engineering and restoration.

This volume provides an introduction for flood risk management practitioners, up-to-date methods for analysis of uncertainty and its use in risk-based decision making.
In the past thirty years, knowledge on flooding has greatly increased by moving away from purely hydrological and hydraulic science and opening up to other disciplines such as economics or human and geographical sciences.
As cities grow and climates change, precipitation increases, and with every great storm-from record-breaking Boston blizzards to floods in Houston-come buckets of stormwater and a deluge of problems.
Originally published in 1980, this book provides a penetrating and scholarly analysis of the planning of water resources, based on 10 years' of research into one of Britain's most vital industries.

Alluvial fans are ubiquitous geomorphological features that occur throughout the world, regardless of climate, at the front of mountains as the result of erosion and deposition.
Este primer número de la publicación "Construyendo Sociedad" es la materialización de una visión que se ha logrado consolidar con más de quince años de un trabajo orientado a la formación integral de profesionales, no solo desde el ámbito disciplinar, sino también desde el desarrollo de competencias que le permitan tener una perspectiva más amplia del mundo y por ende, asumir una postura ante los retos y problemas que a diario se deben enfrentar en una sociedad como la nuestra.

This book collects the papers presented at the 6th International Conference on Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (RACR-2017) held in Ostrava/Prague, Czech Republic, on June 5-9, 2017, organized by VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic.
In recent years, the continued technological advances have led to the spread of low-cost sensors and devices supporting crowdsourcing as a way to obtain observations of hydrological variables in a more distributed way than the classic static physical sensors.
