Regional Scale Modelling of Solid Waste Flow in Storm Drains of Urban Cities:...IJERA Editor
Floods are phenomena that become more frequent and more intense due to anthropogenic activities such as poor land use, improper waste management, uncontrolled urbanization, industrialization … In developing countries, the drainage systems are most often limited (if not absent), inadequate or not adapted. Most of the storm drains are regularly filled with solid materials that are collected from the environment and conveyed by runoff. Waste management in developing countries is very poor and important fractions of the wastes produced are abandoned in nature thereby impacting severely on the environment. The Abiergué watershed was targeted to study the process of the hydrological transformation of rainfall into runoff that conveys solid waste within a drainage system. The aim of this research was to develop a model that will enable the simulation of waste flow with respect to a specific rainfall pattern. It will permit to quantify the total solid wastes in circulation in a drainage system and as such provide appropriate and significant information on the role played by these wastes which can be used for engineering new adapted systems in developing countries. It was found that the solid domestic wastes and soil sediments evolved following a linear and a quadratic pattern respectively with respect to runoffs.

There is no need to demonstrate that the flood causes many extremely negative impacts. It damages properties and endangers the lives of humans and other living things. Some high and prolonged floods can compromise vehicle traffic in areas that are not at a high level. Flooding can interfere with drainage and economic land use. Structural hazards can occur in bridges and viaducts, water and sewage systems, energy systems and other structures located in the flood area. Financial losses due to flooding are typically millions of dollars per year.

DAM Site Selection Using GIS Techniques and remote sensing to Minimize Flash ...inventionjournals
In the last few years devastating flash floods descending downstream through valleys had occurred in East Nile Locality-Sudan. A flash flood can be caused by intense rain, particularly when it takes place in a saturated area where rain has previously fallen. Under these conditions the additional rain runs off over the surface and accumulates in streams and channels at a much accelerated pace. The flooded water had caused a considerable damage in houses, roads and properties. Construction of earth dams is suggested to minimize the destructive effect of these flash floods and make use of stored water in agriculture and grazing. To determine the location of earth dams, multi criterion methods had been used. The best dam location had been achieved applying the selection criterion. The surface areas, volume of reservoirs, had been determined for every selected location Using ArcGIS. Major Landuse, landcover, stream order and location of water body had projected on the watershed area of the Soba valley to extract the residential areas, agricultural areas and grassland effected by suggested dams. Dam location selection model and volume model had been designed to repeat the steps and report the analysis results automatically.

This article presents Chapter 2 (Sustainability in Flood Management), prepared by Fernando Alcoforado, of the Flood Handbook- Impacts and Management**, prepared under the coordination of Professors Saeid Eslamian and Faezeh Eslamian and published by CRC PRESS. Chapter 2 of the Flood Handbook- Impacts and Management aims to present the necessary measures to control and manage floods and how to achieve sustainability in flood management. The methodology used consisted mainly of analyzing the existing literature to characterize the causes and consequences of floods, the measures to control floods, the flood protection measures used in Europe, North America and Asia, the measures put in place for the safety of post-flood cleanup, the benefits resulting from the floods, and the proposed measures to deal with future floods. Also analyzed was the secular experience of the Netherlands, which is the most advanced country in the world in the prevention and control of floods, and its actions in facing the consequences of global warming. Finally, what should be done to achieve sustainability in flood management was outlined.
This article has three objectives: 1) to demonstrate that there is a drastic change in the Earth's climate thanks to global warming, which is contributing to the occurrence of floods in cities that are increasingly catastrophic in their effects; 2) propose measures to combat global climate change; and 3) propose measures to prepare cities to face extreme weather events. Recently, floods have occurred that expose the vulnerability of cities in Europe and China to the most extreme weather. After the floods that killed people in Germany, Belgium and China, the message was reinforced that significant changes are needed to prepare cities to face similar events in the future. Governments need to admit that the infrastructure they built in the past for cities, even in more recent times, is vulnerable to these extreme weather events. To deal with the floods that will become more and more frequent, governments need to act simultaneously in three directions: the first is to combat global climate change; the second is to prepare cities to face extreme weather events and the third is to implement a sustainable society at the national and global levels.
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.
This Powerpoint was compiled by Sandeep Mehrotra, Chair of the Hastings Environmental Commission and Vice President, Hazen & Sawyer P.C., Environmental Engineers and Scientists. It covers Low Impact Development/Better Site Design Principles & Techniques - What they are, Why they matter in flooding and water quality. It was presented at a Stormwater Management Roundtable organized by Groundwork Hudson Valley/Saw Mill River Coalition, Greenburgh Environmental Forum, and Federated Conservationists of Westchester.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
