Introduction to Hydrology & Precipitation - Module - 1.pptx
The document discusses key concepts in hydrology and irrigation engineering. It provides an overview of the course outcomes, which include understanding hydrology fundamentals like precipitation measurement and analysis, estimating runoff, and designing irrigation systems. The modules cover topics such as the hydrologic cycle, precipitation measurement, losses like evaporation and infiltration, runoff analysis using unit hydrographs, irrigation systems and crop water requirements, and design of canals and reservoirs.
L8 Boscastle
The document describes devastating flooding that occurred in Boscastle, UK in August 2004. Over 200mm of rain fell in 4 hours, with 90mm falling in one hour. This caused two rivers to burst their banks, sending a 3m high wall of water through the village. The flash flooding destroyed homes, businesses and infrastructure. Emergency services conducted a major rescue operation to evacuate stranded residents. Long-term impacts included extensive property damage, economic losses from disrupted tourism, and environmental impacts. The response involved emergency evacuations, followed by a £4.5 million flood defense scheme to mitigate future flooding.
WATERSHED CATCHMENT.pptx
This document discusses watersheds and concepts related to watershed hydrology. It begins by defining a watershed as a drainage area that contributes runoff to an outlet point. It then discusses key characteristics of watersheds including size, shape, slope, soils and land use. The document also covers watershed delineation, functions of watersheds, types of watersheds, and hydrologic analysis parameters such as outfall and watershed boundary. Finally, it discusses runoff estimation methods including the Rational Method and provides examples of applying the Rational Method to calculate peak runoff rates.
Adequacy Check of Existing Crest Level of Sea Facing Coastal Polders by the E...
The coastal embankment system has been gradually built during the last 40 years. The embankments
were originally designed to increase agricultural production by preventing salt water intrusion not to protect
against cyclonic storms. The alignment of the embankments did not consider the changing conditions in
bathymetry of the sea and thalweg migration of the rivers and therefore many embankments are located under
tidal water level and have severe toe and slope erosion problems during the monsoon season. The crest level
and embankment cross sections have not optimized the protection of hinterland and the embankment itself and
therefore the embankments typically only provide protection for the cyclones with 5-12 year return periods and
the designed crest level of the sea facing coastal polder equal to the sum of normal maximum recorded water
stage plus 1.50m. In this study to estimate the design crest level and side slope for sea facing embankment have
been established based on maximum storm surge level, wave run-up for cyclonic wave, freeboard allowing 5
l/m/s overtopping ,potential climate change impact and land subsidence. Statistical analysis of surge level and
wave run-up is carried out using Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) in MIKE Zero.

1) The March 2010 floods in southeastern New England were caused by a sequence of heavy rainfall events over 5 weeks that saturated the ground and led to record monthly rainfall totals of 12-18 inches. This caused major to record flooding across the region.
2) Historical climate data shows temperatures and precipitation increasing in Rhode Island, with more rain falling as heavier events. This has led to an increase in flood frequencies in the region's rivers.
3) Future climate change may exacerbate flooding risks by bringing more rain prior to spring green-up, heavier 1-2 inch rainfall events, and a shorter snow season with less snowpack to help mitigate flooding impacts. Proper planning is needed to adapt infrastructure and development toPrecepitation
The document discusses precipitation measurement and analysis. It defines precipitation as water that reaches the earth from the atmosphere in forms such as rainfall, snowfall, hail, etc. Rainfall is the predominant form and is measured using rain gauges, which can be non-recording or recording. Rainfall data is analyzed spatially over areas using methods like Thiessen polygons to determine average rainfall over a catchment from point measurements. Temporal variation in rainfall is also examined from hourly to annual scales to understand precipitation patterns.
Introduction to Hydrology & Precipitation - Module - 1.pptx
The document discusses key topics in hydrology and irrigation engineering including course outcomes, modules, and concepts. The 5 modules cover hydrology fundamentals like the hydrologic cycle, precipitation measurement, losses from evaporation and infiltration, runoff processes, and unit hydrographs. Later modules address irrigation systems, water requirements of crops, canal design methods, and reservoir storage capacity calculation. The importance of hydrology is emphasized for applications like water resources planning, hydraulic structures design, water supply, irrigation, flood control, and more. Measurement techniques for rainfall, evaporation, and infiltration are also introduced.

The document summarizes the work of the Kingston Waterfront Flooding Task Force in New York. The Task Force used tools like mapping and climate projections to assess Kingston's vulnerability to flooding from sea level rise and storms. It identified areas with the most risk and evaluated adaptation strategies like fortifying, accommodating, and strategic relocation. The Task Force made recommendations across many areas to improve Kingston's flood resilience, such as updating plans and codes, green infrastructure, and economic revitalization. The city council adopted the Task Force's final report to help guide future flood preparation efforts.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.
WATERSHED CATCHMENT.pdf
This document provides a solution to a hydrology problem using the Rational Method. The key details are:
1) The problem involves calculating the withdrawal rate from a reservoir given inflow, seepage loss, precipitation, evaporation, and change in storage over a period.
2) The calculations involve determining the inflow (Qin), outflow (Qout), and change in storage (ΔS) over the period using the provided data.
3) The withdrawal rate is then calculated as the difference between inflow, outflow, and change in storage. The final withdrawal rate is calculated to be 10.11 m3/s.

1. The document discusses key terms and definitions related to hydrology and fluvial geomorphology such as abstraction, bankfull stage, channelization, discharge, drainage basin, and floodplain.
2. It also discusses the impact of human activity on various components of the hydrological cycle including precipitation, evaporation, runoff, infiltration and groundwater stores.
3. Large dams and urbanization are highlighted as human activities that can seriously affect floods and river flows by changing infiltration, storage and flow rates.
L7 hydrograph
This document discusses hydrographs and the factors that influence them. It defines a hydrograph as a graphical representation of discharge over time at a particular point in a river. It also defines components of the hydrograph like the rising and falling limbs. Additionally, it discusses how watershed characteristics such as area, slope, rock type, soil, land use and precipitation patterns can impact the shape of the hydrograph. Specifically, steeper slopes and impermeable surfaces can produce a steeper rising limb while permeable soils and rocks or forested land can result in a more gradual rising limb.
Human geography revision dtm
The document discusses the demographic transition model (DTM), which describes the stages of change in birth and death rates and population growth of countries. It asks the student to draw and label the DTM, summarize each stage including key features of birth, death, and total population over five minutes. It also provides exam questions asking to describe the use of the DTM and explain what happens at stage 3.
Human geography population policies
Stage 4 of the demographic transition model is the most sustainable population stage because birth rates are low and death rates are low, leading to a stable population size. Stage 5 is less sustainable as low birth rates coupled with slightly higher death rates could cause the population to decline over time. The document discusses using case studies of China and Kerala, India to analyze population policies and their consequences through adding details to spider diagrams and classroom discussion before practicing exam questions.

Changing urban environments
Shanty towns, also known as squatter settlements, have emerged in many large cities in developing countries due to large numbers of people migrating from rural to urban areas. They are characterized by makeshift housing built from scrap materials and lack adequate facilities. Common problems associated with shanty towns include diseases from poor sanitation, hazards from unstable housing, and social and political issues. Some governments have tried relocating residents but with limited success. Improved approaches involve communities in planning and building new housing.
Geography gcse year 11 examination preparation booklet
The document provides information for students preparing for their Year 11 Geography GCSE examination. It outlines the two sections that will be examined, including topics like population change, migration, urban environments, and tourism. It also includes a glossary defining key terms used in the subject.
Rivers fieldwork booklet
The document provides information about the processes that shape rivers from their source to mouth, including erosion, transportation, and deposition of materials. Erosion can occur vertically downstream or laterally sideways as a river flows. Transportation involves four methods by which a river moves its load. Deposition happens when the river speed decreases causing it to drop larger materials first, such as when the gradient or velocity decreases or when it meets a lake.
Geography gcse mock and examination preparation booklet
The document provides guidance for students taking a geography GCSE mock exam, outlining the areas and topics that will be covered. It includes sections on plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, rivers, coastal landforms, and water supply. Students are advised to bring writing implements and a calculator.

Moving stories lesson 8 - Population Pyramids
The document discusses using population pyramids to predict population change. It provides population data for the UK in 2010 and 2050 broken down by age and gender. Population pyramids visually depict this data using bars to show male and female populations in each age group. Comparing pyramids from different times allows predicting how a population will change in the future. The homework is to create a 3D population pyramid for the UK in 2050 using materials like Lego bricks or jelly babies and compare it to the 2010 pyramid.
Summer Competition
The Geography Department at the Appleton School is holding a Geosquishing competition over the summer of 2010. Students are asked to take photographs of famous or infamous locations that they visit on their travels and "GeoSquish" or squeeze the location between their hands. Photographs should be submitted to a geography teacher or emailed to phunt@theappletonschool.org by September 18, 2010. The winner will have their geosquished image printed on a mug.
Edgar Frost
Eddie Frost was born in 1920 in London and enlisted in the British army in 1940 at age 20. He trained as a glider pilot and took part in Operation Varsity, the largest airborne operation of World War 2 over the Rhine River in Germany in March 1945. During the dangerous landing, Eddie's glider encountered heavy fire and he was killed at just 25 years old. He was buried in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery in Germany.
Ethiopia Goods
A shipment of goods was sent from Ayder High School in Mekelle, Ethiopia. The shipment included jewelry like necklaces and earrings made from local stones in various colors, Ethiopian-style t-shirts with shells on the bottom, women's scarves, wool scarves saying "Love Ethiopia", and children's summer outfits of short-sleeve t-shirts and skirts in various colors. Silver rings were also included.

Method Table
This document discusses methods for data collection but provides no details about any specific methods, concepts, descriptions, importance, problems, limitations, or potential developments. It only includes a header for a "Method Linked concept Description" but no corresponding information.
Geography Controlled assessment
The document provides guidance on how to get maximum marks on a geography controlled assessment. It recommends that the introduction should explain the hypothesis being tested, what data will be collected and where, as well as why the theme is important to study. Key terms associated with the theme, such as quarrying and land use, should also be defined. Maps of different scales should be used to locate the study area and show where data will be collected. A method table is then outlined listing the types of data to be collected, such as through questionnaires, surveys, and field sketches, to analyze factors like land use, the environment, and economic benefits.
Food miles
This document discusses the origins and food miles of common lunch ingredients like spring onions, tomatoes, bread, radishes, and ham. It finds that while some items like bread and ham came from the UK and traveled 0 km, other items such as spring onions from Egypt and radishes from Israel traveled over 3,500 km each. In total, the ingredients for this typical lunch traveled around 7,464 km, which is the equivalent distance from Benfleet, UK to Brazil.
George and paige presentation
This document summarizes a geography course for gifted and talented fifth graders. The students learned about wave formation and different types of waves. They also studied various sea protections like groynes, sea walls, and beach rebuilding. To demonstrate their learning, the students worked as a team to create a 3D model using paper, sticks, and pom-poms to show different sea defenses. They enjoyed making the creative model the most and hope others find their presentation informative.
Alice
The document summarizes a student's geography course on coastal protection. It details that the student learned how tides and waves are formed, how coastlines are protected, and construction methods and costs for rip rap and groynes. The student made a model demonstrating these concepts using materials like tissue paper, straws, and lolly sticks, and enjoyed making the model and meeting new people in the course.
Callum
Our model represents how our coastlines are protected from erosion. We first made a base and added crepe paper to represent land and beach. Then we added coastal defences like sea walls, rip rap, and groynes. We layered green paper over hills and included details like a JCB digger. Both Callums enjoyed making the model and being with friends and their teacher on the geography course.
Chloe
This document summarizes a student's learning in a gifted and talented geography course. The student learned about coastal landforms like rip rap, groynes, sea walls, and revetments, as well as how waves are formed. They made a model of a beach out of paper and glue showing these landforms. Their favorite part of the course was making the model.
Eleanor
This student summarizes what they learned in a geography course for gifted and talented students. They learned about coastal landforms like groynes and rip rap, how waves are formed, and the costs associated with coastal construction projects. To demonstrate their learning, the student created a simple model of a coastal area out of paper, sticks, and straw, showing features like a sea wall, groynes, rip rap, sand, sea, and cliff. They enjoyed making the model and a course video, and conducting outdoor demonstrations of wave formation.
