Boscastle (2004)
The document summarizes the impacts of the 2004 Boscastle flood in Cornwall, England. It describes how heavy rain funneled into the steep-sided valley, overwhelming the river capacity and causing widespread damage. Over 440 million gallons of water destroyed 100 cars, businesses, and buildings. While no lives were lost, the community was fragmented as people had to relocate. The £20 million flood required a £4.6 million rebuilding project to widen the river channel, install trash screens, and implement other flood management strategies to mitigate future flooding risks.

Catrine Dam. A Communities Approach to Hydro Development. Stuart BrabbsScottish Fisheries Co Ordination Centre
The Catrine Dam project aimed to regenerate the local community through sustainable hydroelectric power generation and tourism related to restoring the historic dam structures. However, the project faced numerous challenges that hindered full realization of the vision. These included inadequate consideration and protection of migratory fish during dam restoration works, unaddressed pollution issues, incomplete fish passage structures, and lack of grid capacity for the planned power output. While some improvements were made through interventions by environmental groups, key questions remain about fully achieving the original goals of community regeneration and benefits while protecting the local river ecology.Upper Stony Creek Diversions

quarrying
Quarrying provides raw materials for construction and jobs for remote areas, putting money into the local economy. However, it also causes noise, dust, visual and water pollution. Solutions include using less explosives, building quarries away from homes, monitoring water pollution, covering truck loads, and restricting operations to limit disruption.
Boscastle
On August 16, 2004, the village of Boscastle in Cornwall, England suffered a devastating flash flood. Over 6cm of rain fell in just two hours, causing over 3 million liters of water to rush suddenly through the village, damaging buildings, cars, and infrastructure. The flood waters blocked bridges and overwhelmed the local river, causing extensive property damage estimated at over 2 million pounds. While no lives were lost, the tourism-dependent economy of Boscastle was severely impacted by the flood.

This summarizes a document describing the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. It began by locating Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are diverging. The causes of the eruption were explained as magma rising to the surface due to plate movement. The effects in Iceland were minor, but the ash cloud spread over Europe, grounding flights and costing airlines billions. Measures to manage volcanic hazards in Iceland focus on evacuations and monitoring, which helped minimize loss of life during this eruption.
17 grosvenor place Norwich Ct 06360
Norwich was founded in 1658 by settlers who purchased the land from the Mohegan Tribe. It established a wharf in 1668 and families soon divided the land for farms and businesses. Today, Norwich has a total area of 29.5 square miles. Mohegan Park is Norwich's largest park, containing hiking trails, picnic areas, sports courts, and ponds across its forested land. It was the site of a deadly flood in 1963 caused by a crack in the earthworks dam holding back Spaulding Pond. Norwich operates public schools and Norwich Free Academy is the main high school for the city and surrounding towns.
Coastal Wetland Adaptation Strategies
This document summarizes coastal wetland adaptation strategies presented at two municipal workshops in October 2014. The strategies included upland actions like facilitating marsh migration and removing barriers, as well as in-marsh actions like drainage improvements, elevation enhancement, and erosion control. Specific project examples were provided from locations around Rhode Island where marsh migration was being facilitated or impeded, and adaptation techniques like creek excavation and land protection were undertaken. Partnerships between municipalities, land trusts, and state agencies were noted as important for implementing projects costing $5,000 to $15,000 each to adapt coastal marshes to sea level rise.

The document summarizes information about rivers, coasts, and natural hazards in three locations:
1) The River Derwent in Cumbria, England floods frequently due to heavy rainfall. Flooding is now managed through dredging, flood levees, monitoring, and preparing residents. These strategies help protect homes and businesses in a sustainable way.
2) The coastlines of Highcliffe and Barton-on-Sea in England face erosion. Highcliffe uses hard and soft engineering to protect valuable land, while Barton allows managed retreat since the land has little value.
3) The 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland spread ash across Europe, closing flights. Iceland is well
Science Forum Day 3 - Huanh Chu Thai - Conflicts between agriculture and aqua...
The document summarizes land and water use conflicts between agriculture and aquaculture in the delta region of Ca Mau peninsula in Vietnam. Beginning in the early 1990s, expanding rice production into saline areas led to the construction of water control systems to manage fresh water and saline water across 250,000 hectares. Since 1994, sluices have been progressively constructed to protect from salinity intrusion. However, this has created winners and losers among farmers of different income levels and locations. The document explores options for sluice operation to better control salinity and the corresponding impacts on farmers' incomes. It notes that sea level rise poses future challenges and that integrated agricultural aquatic systems will require an ongoing conflict resolution process.
QB Poster4
This document proposes a vision to enhance the waterfront in Qualicum Beach, BC in three ways:
1. Link the waterfront area to the downtown core and people through new walkways, recreational areas, and shellfish research facilities. This would strengthen connections between the ocean, town, and residents.
2. Improve resiliency by adding breakwater treatments like stair seating and expanding shellfish beds, allowing new uses of the interface between beach and seawall.
3. Inspire the plan with the strength and longevity of Japanese glass fishing floats, creating an environment that reflects Qualicum Beach's sense of place and supports living, working and playing.
Example model answers for OCR B Geography GCSE
This document summarizes coastal erosion and management strategies in two locations in the UK - Highcliffe and Barton-on-Sea. At Highcliffe, erosion was causing damage to properties at a rate of 2 meters per year, so hard and soft engineering methods were used to hold the line, including rock armor, drainage systems, and cliff reshaping. These strategies are costly but protect valuable homes. In contrast, Barton-on-Sea uses managed retreat, allowing erosion and eventual formation of a protective platform. While initially losing land, this strategy is more environmentally sustainable in the long run by not disrupting sediment transport.
History and Current Status of the Corvallis Mill Race
The document discusses the history and alterations to the Mill Race in Corvallis, Oregon over the past 200 years. It was originally constructed in the 1850s to provide a steady water supply to a flour mill powered by water wheels. Since then, it has been altered many times for changing needs through activities like straightening the channel, installing dams and spillways, and relocating portions of the channel. These changes have had unintended negative consequences and impacts on flooding and water quality. The document concludes that while the Mill Race capacity is adequate except during major flooding events, water quality could be improved by installing bioswales in the watershed.
Konovsky biological recovery of goldsborough creek 11.04.11
The document summarizes efforts to recover coho salmon populations in Goldsborough Creek through the removal of Simpson Dam in 2001. Key points:
- Coho smolt production has increased by an order of magnitude, from 10,000 to over 100,000 annually, making Goldsborough Creek now the #2 producer in South Puget Sound. This is largely due to removing the dam and opening over 25 miles of habitat.
- While habitat gains have been made through conservation and dam removal, challenges remain like improving Shelton Harbor for estuary habitat and reconnecting areas like the Simpson Railroad floodplain.
- Recent dedicated funding of nearly $5 million from various groups has supported further recovery actions, with a

Dorset coast
The document describes land use conflicts and solutions at Lulworth Cove in Dorset, England. It identifies various land users in the area, including tourists, the military, environmental groups, and local residents. Increased tourism has led to issues like traffic congestion, noise, litter, and erosion. Solutions that have been implemented include improving footpaths, limiting development, and coordinating with the military to improve access. However, some solutions like resurfacing parking areas have also introduced new problems. Effective management of competing interests in the coastal zone remains an ongoing challenge.
Lake Development Authority_CEO
The Lake Development Authority was instituted in 2002 to preserve and maintain lakes in Karnataka. An action plan was approved to survey lakes, remove encroachments, install fences, stop pollution inflows, and strengthen and rejuvenate lakes. Progress has been made with over 100 lakes developed by different agencies. 16 projects are assisted by the National Lake Conservation Plan, with 11 completed. However, many lakes remain polluted and face issues like encroachment, choked drains, and conversion to dry lakes. The Authority has limitations due to pending legislation and lack of resources.
Salt marshes in cumbria
The document describes salt marshes located in Cumbria, England. It notes that the area is very flat with identifiable pans and creeks draining salt water. The relief is low and the marshes are extensive, covering a large area. Different colors in the marshes represent varying environments and abiotic factors that influence the types of plants that can grow there. Higher areas support bushes and trees while lower flats are mostly bare mud and silt.

Lake Privatisation
The document summarizes Bangalore's lake systems and the issues they face. It notes that Bangalore once had 262 lakes in 1961, but that number declined to 127 in 1986 and 117 in 2003 due to urban expansion. The lakes are interlinked in a chain and help with groundwater recharge. However, many have been leased to private companies, restricting public access. There have been protests and court cases around privatization and efforts to better protect and restore the critical lake systems.
Agua y Cambio Climático 1 glacier melt
Glaciers around the world are shrinking due to climate change, increasing glacial hazards and risks. As glaciers melt, the number and volume of glacial lakes are growing. This poses risks to infrastructure like hydropower dams, roads, and mining operations built near glaciers. Rural development in mountainous regions is also increasingly vulnerable to glacial lake outburst floods. Managing these risks requires assessing hazards, reducing vulnerability, and developing strategies to mitigate risks while maintaining water resources. Case studies in Peru, Chile, and Nepal demonstrate successful risk reduction through lake drainage and infrastructure protection.

It identifies areas of interest in Rowley, Ipswich, and Essex that are at risk, such as Route 1A in Rowley and the downtown areas of Ipswich and Essex. For each area, it provides details on current and future vulnerabilities from coastal flooding and sea level rise. It also summarizes current adaptation activities and provides recommendations for both short-term and long-term strategies to increase resiliency, such as land conservation, infrastructure improvements, and managed retreat. The document emphasizes the importance of nature-based solutions and regional partnerships to address coastal adaptation challenges across the Great Marsh region
Reservoir Dam Safety
The document discusses different types of reservoir dams and some of the risks they pose. It notes that earth dams and rock-fill dams are the most common type. Problems with dams can include pollution, loss of storage capacity, seismic activity, and failure of the dam itself. More than 2000 catastrophic dam failures have been recorded, with about 40% caused by foundation failures and 23% by spillway failures. Case studies of dam failures show they can have devastating consequences like massive flooding and loss of life if precautions are not taken.

2 - Canal & River Trust presentation Forum 2022.pptx
The restoration of the Montgomery Canal involved carefully restoring 9 broad locks, dredging 5 miles of canal, constructing a bridge, restoring historic structures, creating a 5 hectare reedbed, and installing interpretation materials. This restoration resulted in increased visitor spending, jobs, visitor days, and cycling/canoe/angling visits. It also increased boating and the number of boat movements and moorings. The restoration regenerated 24 hectares of brownfield land. Moving forward, plans include creating additional open water areas totaling 6.8 hectares and pursuing funding to support further crossings through bids and stakeholder engagement to ensure the long term sustainable future of the canal.

Larger than Life
A look at a few lifelike systems that share the essential characteristics of being Self-organisaing and Adaptive as context for ongoing series of Water and Words presentations.
Includes links to other parts of the deeper understanding building around this plus additional reading .
What Does Water Know?
Slide deck for the third of ongoing series of presentations looking at water's planet-shaping role and barriers to its recognition within knowledge systems submerged in human language.
What do Words Know?
The document discusses several hypotheses that were initially dismissed but later gained acceptance:
- Plate tectonics was proposed in the early 20th century but not widely accepted until more evidence was discovered 50 years later, showing continents could move.
- The existence of an aether to transmit light was proposed by Newton and used in Maxwell's equations, but failed to be detected in experiments. Einstein's theory of relativity explained light without an aether.
- Lamarck's idea of acquired traits being inherited, accepted for millennia, was dismissed due to experiments failing to prove it. However, epigenetics shows environmentally induced reversible heritable traits without DNA change, partially validating Lamarck.

Minding this Water Planet
Presentation using a pair of books to expand possibilities inherent in chemical and electromagnetic interaction leading to some wider speculation about the role the rich structure of H₂O has had and continues to have in shaping Life of this planet. Consequent linkage to persistent themes within our Supervenience project and wider orbit.
My ¾ time huddle
This document provides a summary of Tony Smith's quarterly huddle on 27 February 2022, covering five crazy years and motivating the group for the final quarter.

OverFlow Chart Introduction and Application to Gateway Drugs
Presentation Slides from Melbourne Emergence Meetup 11 November 2021 examining three emergence-superveience relationships centred around the Accelerating Abstraction of humans from Industrialised Apex Predator in the biosphere to ever more Documented Consumable in the map of legal fictions.
Hydro-powered Geomorphology
- The document summarizes lessons learned from a major flood that occurred along the Cumberland River in early January 2021, mobilizing large rocks and depositing them in intertidal waters while trapping silt and gradually turning wetlands into dry land.
- It discusses the failure of delayed rainfall observations to trigger emergency warnings, and the broad catchment and narrow gorge creating a delay between rainfall and peak flooding.
- The self-organization and mutual assistance of the camp/visitor community during the middle of the night flood is also summarized, as well as the lack of contextual awareness from responding police and SES volunteers initially.
Working with the System
Images (pics, maps and covers) drawn from Kororoit Institute submission to parliamentary inquiry into Ecosystems Decline in Victoria, with minimal commentary aside from section headings and recommendations, providing context for discussion of where we take this from here, both the global task of insisting on the urgent need for humans to work with rather than against until now dangerously suppressed ecosystems, and the local task of working with structures of our colonial political economy to ensure the tide is well and truly turning.
Life as Necessarily Addictive
Experimental presentation using photos of a contested local remnant site as song lines style background to initial contextualisation of the essential ubiquity of habituation and addictions.

Life's Infrastructure
December 2019 presentation to Melbourne Emergence Meetup in the scope of ongoing Supervenience project series and as corollary to November's presentation re human infrastructure projects the group has taken an interest in. Includes pictures from recent visits to Stony Creek toxic fire site and Mud Island.
Infrastructure Growing Pains
Reflections on Kororoit Institute’s and friends’ planning interventions in light of Supervenience project and where to from here, presented at Melbourne Emergence Meetup 14 November 2019.
Contains main text and images of a submission to the Australian Infrastructure Audit 2019, save for the Supervenience Project principles which are developed in other presentations and with the introductory background of that submission expanded into a longer account of the history of Kororoit Institute's interest in infrastructure. That history also draws on text of submission to VEAC re Coastal Reserves to provide a shortish explanation of the Nepean Bay Bar proposal.
Slaughtering Sacred Cows
Many people are aware of something of particular interest to them which conventional wisdom gets badly wrong but assume that one thing is all that really needs to be fixed while the status quo is otherwise fine. Once you escape your silo and start seriously looking around, it becomes obvious that most things you take for granted are pretty much stuffed too. This presentation to CVAF highlights a few of them and argues that adversary systems are no longer fit for purpose.
Informed Dissent
Presentation to Melbourne Emergence Meetup 12 September 2019 providing further context for Supervenience Project, interleaving four decades of awareness development with one of local activism and digital photography. Doesn't quite achieve declared aims of bridging Too Funny for Words with Accepting Cosmological Responsibility, but useful starting point nonetheless.
Slide 9 is a montage of frames from two minute video of the first of Josie Taylor's two reports cited on Slide 8, as a placeholder for the actual video.
Self-organised Criticality
The document summarizes Tony Smith's presentation on self-organized criticality. Some key points:
- Self-organized criticality describes how dissipative systems with extended degrees of freedom can evolve toward a minimally stable critical state through small, frequent disturbances that follow a power law distribution.
- Bak et al's 1987 paper that introduced this concept has been shown to be relevant to many natural phenomena like sandpiles, earthquakes, wildfires, etc. that maintain a critical balance.
- Smith's presentation applied self-organized criticality to better understand everyday human behaviors and systems, examining universals, animals, civilization, and modernity in terms of approaching critical thresholds.
- Reaching critical states

Gas agency management system project report.pdf
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.
Design and optimization of ion propulsion drone
Electric propulsion technology is widely used in many kinds of vehicles in recent years, and aircrafts are no exception. Technically, UAVs are electrically propelled but tend to produce a significant amount of noise and vibrations. Ion propulsion technology for drones is a potential solution to this problem. Ion propulsion technology is proven to be feasible in the earth’s atmosphere. The study presented in this article shows the design of EHD thrusters and power supply for ion propulsion drones along with performance optimization of high-voltage power supply for endurance in earth’s atmosphere.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdf
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
