GEOG2 2014
Heavy monsoon rains caused widespread flooding across Pakistan in June 2004. Over 1,000 people were killed and over 1 million homes were destroyed by the flooding, which was described as the worst natural disaster in Pakistan's history. Vast areas of the country were submerged, including the provinces of Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan.
Flood Magnitude VLE
Hydrologists use records of past river discharge levels over long periods to predict future flood likelihoods and return periods. They rank discharge levels and calculate recurrence intervals using a formula, which allows them to plot interval against discharge on a graph. This graph's line of best fit can then predict when the next flood of a particular magnitude might occur, known as its return period. The document asks the reader to use this process and graph to determine return periods for example discharges from the East Fork of the Carson River based on recordings from 1997 and 1955 over a 200 year period.

This document appears to list exam questions from past GCSE exams from June 2010 to June 2013 related to coastal topics. The document includes the exam years and mentions coastal questions, but does not provide any actual questions or details on content.
ANTICYCLONES QUESTIONS
An anticyclone over the British Isles in winter results in very cold weather with clear skies. Daytime temperatures are below freezing but nighttime temperatures drop much lower as there is little insulation. Radiation fogs form in low-lying areas at night due to the rapid cooling of air in contact with the frozen ground and slowly burn off in the morning due to the sun's weak heating at that time of year.
BI - ANTICYCLONES
Anticyclones are high pressure weather systems that form over the British Isles frequently. They are characterized by calm winds with widely spaced isobars, sinking air that warms and decreases humidity, causing clear skies. In winter, anticyclones bring cold days and frosts with the potential for pollution inversions, while summer anticyclones result in hot days with hazy sunshine and the risk of thunderstorms from moist air masses. Anticyclones can influence weather conditions for up to 10 days as they move slowly across the region.
Exam question 2010
The cross profile of a river changes in three key ways as it flows downstream:
(1) Near the source, the cross profile is narrow, steep-sided, and relatively deep. (2) Further downstream, the cross profile widens, becomes less deep, and the valley sides are less steep. (3) Closest to the mouth, the valley is especially broad, the sides are far from the river, and the landscape is gentle and low-lying.
Advanced hydrology & water resource engg
The document provides an overview of water resources management and hydrology. It discusses the goals of understanding hydrologic processes and solving water-related problems.

The Hydrological Cycle
Presentation showing the workings of the Hydrological cycle for AS level students
Water on the land
This document discusses water on the land and how rivers change from their source to their mouth. It explains that rivers have a steep gradient and narrow channels near their source, carrying large angular material. Downstream, the gradient gentles, channels widen and deepen, and material transported is smaller and more rounded. Floodplains also become wider and flatter towards the river mouth as the channel capacity increases.
Ch3 hydrological losses
The document discusses hydrological losses and factors affecting evaporation. It defines different types of hydrological losses including interception, depression storage, evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration. It then discusses various meteorological parameters that influence the evaporation process such as temperature, humidity, wind, radiation, and atmospheric pressure. Temperature affects evaporation rate but not always proportionally. Humidity and vapor pressure influence the vapor pressure deficit which governs evaporation rate. Wind helps carry away moisture and accelerates evaporation up to a critical speed. The nature of the evaporating surface like soil moisture levels also impacts evaporation rate.
Lesson 6 factors affecting discharge (hydrographs)
Hydrographs show variations in a river's discharge over time, usually during a rainstorm. The shape of a hydrograph is influenced by factors like land use, precipitation amounts, geology, and soil. A hydrograph has a rising limb as discharge increases and a falling limb as it decreases. Lag time is the delay between peak rainfall and peak discharge as water from precipitation moves through the landscape into the river. Urbanization can increase flooding risk by preventing water infiltration into paved surfaces.
hydro chapter_11_hydrology_by louy al hami
The document discusses key concepts in hydrology including the hydrologic cycle, precipitation measurement methods, watershed characteristics, the watershed response in the form of hydrographs, unit hydrographs, and methods to develop synthetic hydrographs for ungauged watersheds. Specifically, it covers the hydrologic cycle, precipitation measurement including arithmetic mean, Thiessen polygon, and isohyetal methods. It also discusses watershed characteristics, the watershed response in the form of hydrographs, and the development of unit hydrographs and their use in developing synthetic hydrographs for ungauged watersheds using the principles of superposition and linearity.
The hydrological cycle
The document provides information about the hydrological cycle including key definitions and processes. It explains that precipitation is an input into the cycle, while evaporation and transpiration are outputs. It also describes several transfer processes by which water moves through the cycle, such as surface runoff, infiltration, percolation, groundwater flow, and river discharge.
Hydrological Cycle (Water Cycle)
The hydrological cycle is the system which describes the distribution and movement of water between the earth and its atmosphere. The model involves the continual circulation of water between the oceans, the atmosphere, vegetation and land.
Basics of Environmental Studies
