In-water timing restrictions are used to protect fish during critical periods of their lifecycle like spawning. They prohibit construction work within water bodies during specified dates to avoid disturbances. The restricted dates correspond to regional spawning windows and are usually not flexible, but exceptions may be made if critical habitats are not present near the work area. Contractors must carefully plan projects around these timing restrictions through consultation with fisheries specialists.

Flood management
Flooding is caused by high rainfall that overwhelms the land's ability to drain water effectively, especially when the ground is saturated. Flooding often leads to water pollution and health issues. Flood control aims to prevent or reduce flood damage through various structural measures like dams, embankments, channel improvements and river diversions, as well as non-structural measures like forecasting, zoning, fighting, proofing and insurance. Recent major floods in India have displaced over 2 million people in Bihar in 2008 and affected 28 million across India, Bangladesh and Nepal in 2007.
Flood Solutions – Soft Engineering Strategies
Soft engineering strategies for flood solutions include flood warning systems, sandbagging, and flood insurance. Flood plain zoning tries to organize flood defences so that flood-prone land is used for farming rather than housing. Soft engineering defences work with nature through land use management, wetland conservation, river restoration, and planting trees. Flood plain zoning assesses flood risk across land and restricts development in high risk areas.

Causes of flooding
This document discusses river basin management and flooding. It provides reasons for managing river basins, including for irrigation, water supply, navigation, tourism, hydroelectricity, and flood prevention. It then focuses on flooding, discussing both physical and human causes. It also discusses strategies for flood management, including hard engineering approaches like dams and levees, as well as softer approaches like land use regulation, warning systems, and insurance. Specific examples from the Tees Valley, Bangladesh, and Vaiont Dam disaster in Italy are also summarized.
Runoff management and Flood Control
Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation from rain or snowmelt flows over the land surface. Flooding also occurs due to excessive high intensity rainfall over the rate of infiltration of soils. All are natural hazards. Both of these problems are to be solved through water management practices. This module highlights all these aspects.
Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Potential & Renewable Northwest Integration
Wind generation on Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) system in the Northwest grew from almost nothing in 1998 to more than 4,515 megawatts in 2014. The majority of this existing and future potential wind resource is located in the Columbia River Gorge. BPA’s integration of wind is the highest amount as a percentage of load of any utility in the country.
With the clean energy goals of the region and the carbon emissions reductions from the EPA’s proposed Clean Power Plan Section 111(d), the Northwest is facing the retirement of over 3,000-MW of coal-fired generation, further exacerbating the need for dispatchable energy assets.
Wind energy is one of the most affordable forms of electricity today to meet these clean energy and carbon reduction goals. However, the challenges and Achilles’ heel of wind integration lie in the intra-hour variability and uncertainty of wind, making wind energy a difficult resource to dispatch.
The challenge is to find a way to make energy created by intermittent resources like wind and solar energy available on demand to meet current and future load growth. BPA experiences large, unplanned ramping events that occur within the hour and days from several hundred to several thousand megawatts. These large ramps, up and down many times, do not align with when energy is needed by residential and industrial customers.
Hydroelectric pumped storage is a superior solution that offers maximum flexibility to store energy produced on BPA’s system from wind or other renewable resources when it is difficult to utilize these resources on the power grid or integrate them into the power system and to release the energy at a time when it is needed, most often during peak load periods, at a higher value.
Additionally, the present transmission congestion, under or oversupply and overload could be reduced by having a pumped storage project located near significant high-voltage transmission to take advantage of Northwest and Southwest geographic diversity of loads and output from renewable resources, inter-regional exchanges and to mitigate the steep ramping needs, California’s “duck curve,” overgeneration risk and economic de-optimization of the power system.

Rivers and coasts revision
This document provides an overview of key concepts in rivers and coasts geography. It outlines various landforms caused by erosion and deposition along rivers and coasts. It also discusses river and coastal management strategies such as dam construction, river engineering, afforestation, and planning regulations. The document encourages students to review what they have learned and identify areas needing further revision by completing a quiz. It suggests creating a revision resource on coasts using available materials like paper, pictures, and textbooks.
Methods Of Flood Control
The document discusses methods of flood control and river management. It describes various causes of flooding such as heavy rain, urbanization, dam collapse, and snow melt. Common flood control techniques include building dams and pumping stations, barriers, altering river channels, and controlling land use near rivers. The Mississippi and Nile Rivers are discussed as examples, noting large levee systems on the Mississippi and the Aswan High Dam on the Nile, which was built to control flooding but caused environmental issues.
T1w1 b Types of flood
There are three main types of floods: coastal floods, river floods, and flash floods. Coastal floods occur in coastal areas from storms, earthquakes, or huge waves. River floods take place in floodplains and along river banks from heavy rain or snow melt. Flash floods can happen anywhere due to short periods of heavy rain, and cause water to exceed the carrying capacity of the land, resulting in overflow onto dry land and flooding. The carrying capacity of an area relates to floods because when too much water is added and exceeds the capacity of a place, flooding will occur.
Hard engineering ap
Hard engineering strategies for managing river flow include building dams and reservoirs and straightening river channels. Dams are built to generate electricity, stop downstream flooding, and provide water for nearby areas. They can give immediate flood control results but are also very expensive and may cause longer term problems. For example, the Three Gorges Dam in China reduced flood risk but required moving 1.4 million people and has significant economic and environmental costs.
L12 ap soft engineering
Soft river engineering strategies aim to manage river flow in a more sustainable way by working with the natural river system. This involves avoiding building in flood-prone areas, providing flood warnings to people, and planting trees to increase water absorption and slow flow. Specific soft engineering strategies discussed include flood warning systems, zoning floodplains to restrict development, government advice and preparation for flooding, and occasionally choosing to not intervene and let natural flooding occur.
types of flood & flood mitigation/management techniques - damages
this presentation gives a brief about what are the different types of floods depending upon area & its cause.It is further aided with mitigation or management techniques to be implemented & types of damages.
Flood mitigation
This document discusses flood mitigation strategies. It recommends allowing flood plains to function naturally by not building in them and letting flood waters spread out over flood plains rather than being confined to river banks. This helps reduce flood damage, pollution, and erosion. The document also recommends various watershed techniques to retain and infiltrate water such as terracing, cover crops, bio-swales, rain gardens, pervious pavement, and green roofs in order to reduce flood intensity and frequency while improving water quality.

1.2 rainfall discharge basin
1. A river regime shows the annual variation in a river's flow and is largely determined by climate. A flood hydrograph depicts short-term changes in discharge during storms, showing how quickly water levels rise and fall.
2. Key factors that influence hydrographs include rainfall intensity, soil moisture levels, slope, land use, and drainage infrastructure. High intensity rain on saturated ground produces rapid runoff and higher peak flows. Urban development generally increases peak flows and decreases response times.
3. Vegetation and permeable surfaces help absorb rainfall and reduce overland flow, while impermeable surfaces and lack of vegetation have the opposite effect. Drainage infrastructure can increase peak flows and decrease response times by quickly channeling water
T4: GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AND WATER GOVERNANCE THE EGYPTIAN EXPERIENCE
This document discusses groundwater management challenges in Egypt and lessons learned. It addresses issues like overuse of groundwater by agriculture leading to pollution, lack of monitoring and enforcement exacerbating unsustainability. Case studies show traditional oasis management protecting resources and more recent problems of saline intrusion addressed through brackish groundwater development and monitoring. Treated sewage reuse requires attention to groundwater impacts. Lessons emphasize integrated management, monitoring, stakeholder participation, awareness, enforcement and considering both fresh and non-fresh water resources.
Flood management Ppt
Flood management strategies aim to protect people and property from flood impacts, reduce flood risk, and monitor floods through various methods. Hard engineering methods use structural approaches like dams and levees. Soft engineering employs river basin management techniques such as floodplain zoning and restoration. The document outlines key flood management strategies used worldwide and their purposes.
L10 Soft Engineering Strategies
There are several soft engineering strategies that can be used to reduce flood risk, including flood warning systems, sandbagging, insurance, and flood plain zoning. Flood plain zoning involves assessing flood risk across different areas and restricting development in high risk zones, instead using those areas for activities like farming. Soft engineering strategies generally have lower costs and environmental impacts than hard engineering options like dams and levees. They work with natural processes and can improve habitats.
Flooding 6 Solutions To Flooding
Hard and soft engineering strategies both have costs and benefits for reducing flood risk. Hard engineering uses structures like dams, reservoirs, and channel straightening to control floodwaters, but can be expensive and disrupt natural processes. Soft engineering employs solutions like flood warnings, preparedness, and limiting development in flood-prone areas. The best approach depends on the situation and requires weighing costs versus benefits of each option.
Flood control and disaster management
Flood control refers to methods used to reduce flood impacts, such as installing berms, ripraps, sandbags, maintaining slopes with vegetation, and constructing drainage channels and structures like levees, dikes, dams, and detention basins. Floods are caused by heavy precipitation, winds, high tides, tsunamis, or dam/levee failures. Floods occur when water cannot be absorbed or contained and runs off land. Effects include property damage, erosion, habitat destruction, traffic issues, and economic losses of millions annually. Control methods include planting vegetation, terracing, and structures to hold extra water.
Active vs Passive Mitigation - FloodBreak®

Flood
This document provides an overview of flooding, including its causes, hazards, and management in India. It begins with an introduction defining flooding as caused by heavy rain or snowmelt that overflows land. It then discusses how flooding starts and ends, why it occurs, and its hazardous environmental effects such as poor soil quality, damaged trees and crops. The document outlines India's flood management approaches including modifying floods, susceptibility, and loss burden. It details structural measures like dams and non-structural measures like flood forecasting. Finally, it proposes future strategies around a focused basin-wise approach, flood plain zoning, central government role, and capacity building.
Flood
Floods occur when heavy rain or snowmelt causes a river's water levels to exceed its channel capacity, overflowing onto the flood plain. There are three main types of flooding: coastal from ocean waters, river from excessive water in river channels, and ground water from saturated soil. Individual precautions include having an emergency radio, staying off flooded roads, and avoiding electrical hazards, while after a flood it is important to check for structural damage, boil water, and reduce future flood risk.
Floods
Floods are a common natural disaster in India that occur annually in many areas. They can be caused by factors like heavy rainfall, snowmelt, dam failures, and urbanization increasing surface runoff. To control floods, methods are used like building dams and pumping stations to control water levels, constructing barriers like levees and flood walls, altering river channels by straightening or widening them, implementing land use zoning near floodplains, and taking emergency measures during floods. Countries like the US also extensively use strategies such as levees along the Mississippi River to prevent flooding in communities.

Cages can be placed offshore or in sheltered areas of oceans, estuaries, lakes, and reservoirs. Investments are low per kilo of fish produced with cage farming, and farms can be expanded gradually. The document provides information on starting a cage farming operation, including conducting feasibility studies and environmental assessments.
18. Environmental Impacts of Dams (Supply).pdf
Dams provide many benefits like improving quality of life through irrigation, flood control, hydropower, and more. However, they can also negatively impact the environment and human populations. Key impacts include displacing many people worldwide and inadequate compensation, harming terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by blocking animal migrations and altering natural river flows, and emitting greenhouse gases from reservoirs. While dams provide irrigation and hydropower, their construction often undercounts displaced people and fails to fully resettle them, compromising livelihoods. Cultural heritage sites can also be damaged or lost. Mitigation efforts are often insufficient to address these social and environmental impacts.
2008 04 Flooding: The Forecast Nick Lyness, Environment Agency
A presentation was given about the flood risk and environmental impacts of building a Severn Barrage. It was noted that while a barrage could decrease flood risk from storm surges, existing flood defences are sufficient to manage climate change risks without one. A barrage would negatively impact habitats in the Severn Estuary Special Protection Area and proposed Special Area of Conservation. It would require upgrading over 100 drainage schemes at a cost of up to £60 million and could irreversibly impact species like shad that rely on the Severn. Major environmental studies would also be needed given the vast materials required and impacts on permits.

It notes that rising sea levels are causing coastal erosion, inundation, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater resources. This is forcing people to relocate further inland, but the narrow islands have limited suitable land. The impacts on communities include damage to homes and infrastructure, loss of land for farming and fishing, food insecurity, and threats to younger generations' ability to live on the islands. Adaptation strategies proposed include building stronger seawalls, planting crops further inland, conserving fresh water, and involving communities in mangrove planting and coastal zone management to enhance resilience to sea level rise.
Stream flow monitoring golabi
The document summarizes a study on monitoring stream flow in the Talakhaya watershed on the island of Rota, CNMI following revegetation efforts to reduce sediment loading. The goals were to quantify the reduction in sediment from revegetating with vetiver grass and educate the community. Monitoring equipment was installed to measure rainfall, stream levels, water quality, and discharge. Soil samples were also taken. Preliminary results showed revegetated streams had lower turbidity levels during rainfall events compared to unvegetated streams. Continued monitoring and community education were recommended to further assess the impact of revegetation.
Poope and dean 1986
This document discusses the development of design criteria for segmented breakwaters used for beach erosion control. It examines several prototype cases in the United States and draws generalizations about resultant beach response. It evaluates this experience to develop a preliminary approach for design criteria. Specifically, it summarizes 7 segmented breakwater projects in the US, describing the project parameters, beach response, and how the experience can inform general design guidance.
Seaweeds Culture
The demand of seaweeds nowadays have been increasing. In order to supply the needs, background on seaweeds culture is very important. We must know how to culture seaweeds, handle it with care, the methods to be used, and the environmental factors that may affect the growth of seaweeds.
Protection of coastal wetlands and Protection of coastal waters
Coastal wetlands and waters provide important ecological functions like flood protection, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. They are facing threats from sea level rise, development, and pollution. Effective protection requires laws and regulations to restrict harmful activities while promoting best practices. Coastal managers aim to control pollution from sources like agriculture, development, and oil/gas activities through measures like buffers, stormwater management, and spill prevention. Maintaining natural coastal ecosystems can help ameliorate pollution and protect these valuable environments.
Weather related disasters
The document discusses different types of weather-related disasters including floods, cyclones, and drought. It provides details on each type of disaster such as the definition of a flood and factors that can cause flooding. For coping with and preparing for each disaster, it recommends maintaining infrastructure like river embankments, having evacuation plans and shelters, following warnings from officials, and growing drought-resistant crops. Specific tips are given for flood and drought preparedness and conservation such as checking for leaks, using water efficiently, and not flushing trash.

Impacts of dredging on Seagrass
This document discusses the impacts of dredging on seagrass. It begins with background information on seagrass, including what it is, where it is found globally, and where it grows. It then discusses various types of seagrass and their locations. The document outlines threats to seagrass, including dredging. It defines dredging and discusses its common uses. Finally, it details the environmental impacts of dredging on seagrass, such as reduced water clarity, removal or burial of vegetation, and release of toxic chemicals.
NZCA submission on Next steps for fresh water April 2016
The New Zealand Conservation Authority (NZCA) is submitting comments on the "Next Steps for Fresh Water" consultation document. Some key points made in the NZCA's submission include:
1) The NZCA supports developing new water quality attributes to address all effects on aquatic ecosystems, and applying attributes to estuaries and coastal lakes.
2) Many current water quality standards are inadequate and should be more ambitious to improve degraded water quality over the long term.
3) The NZCA supports using macroinvertebrate community index as a new attribute but standards should align with ANZEEC guidelines to ensure ecosystem health.
4) Exceptions for significant infrastructure like hydroelectricity should not be
