The document summarizes a case study of floods and landslides in Makwanpur District, Nepal in July 2004. Heavy rainfall caused rivers to overflow, destroying homes, bridges and crops. 24 people died and over 1,400 households were affected. The disasters were caused by steep slopes, soil composition, deforestation and development in at-risk areas. Solutions proposed include reforestation, infrastructure like check dams, early warning systems and restricting development in flood-prone areas. Overall the document argues for a shift toward preventative approaches rather than reactive responses to natural disasters in Nepal.

Green space suitability evaluation for urban resilience converted
The Kathmandu Metropolitan City is one of the fastest growing capital cities around. Excessive unplanned urban growth in the city leads to negative impacts on urban environments, publics, and communities. Metropolitan administrators and planners have been facing with impenetrability in making available of green space due to the unplanned urban growth tendency. The paper evaluates suitable sites for urban green space development using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) based multi-criteria analysis methods with geographical information systems (GIS). Various spatial datasets were obtained from several organizations and further processed on the GIS environment for suitable site evaluation. After the analytical hierarchy process of a pairwise comparison matrix was created and criteria weights were calculated for different factors. Variables taken for this study are school point data, health facility's location data, emergency service's locations, water bodies, emergency road network data, land use/land cover data, population data, distance to existing park, and slope. The unit of a study is a metropolitan city. Evaluations demonstrate the spatial distribution of different not suitable areas, less suitable , moderate suitable, and highly suitable area respectively, of the 4.47 %, 7.19 % of the area are high and moderate suitable area, while the largest area 78.87 % is less suitable and 9.47 % are not suitable for the development of green open space. This finding could contribute a planner for spatial planning of green space development in KMC.

Contouring
This document discusses contouring and contour maps. It defines a contour line as a line connecting points of equal elevation. The vertical distance between consecutive contours is called the contour interval, which depends on factors like the nature of the ground and the map scale. Contour maps show the topography of an area and can be used for engineering projects, route selection, and estimating earthworks. Methods of plotting contours include direct methods using levels or hand levels, and indirect methods like gridding, cross-sectioning, and radial lines. Characteristics of contours provide information about the landscape.
Footing
Footings are the lower part of a building's foundation constructed below ground level. They transfer the building's live and dead loads to the soil over a large area to prevent movement of the soil or building. Footings must resist settlement and lateral loads. Their size depends on the allowable bearing capacity of the soil, total load on the footing, and column dimensions. Shear failure can occur at the footing-column connection or within the footing itself. Combined or strap footings are used to distribute loads across property lines or between closely spaced columns.

The document discusses gazettes, which are official government publications used to notify the public of notices, orders, and other information. It notes that gazettes are published by state and federal authorities and can consolidate notifications. Gazette plans show specific boundaries or spatial information specified in gazettes, such as areas being reserved, leased, or having reservations revoked. The preparation of gazette plans involves data collection, drafting, approval by the Director of Survey, and submission of copies. Gazette plans must contain certain information and are used by Land Offices to draft gazettes for publication.
Role of GIS and remote sensing in Disaster Management
GIS and remote sensing can help manage various natural disasters in several ways:
1) For drought, they can provide early warnings, help target groundwater exploration, and monitor desertification.
2) For earthquakes, they can create seismic hazard maps, identify faults, and detect potential earthquake zones.
3) For floods, they can map inundated areas, identify flood plains, and assist post-flood assessment and management.
4) For landslides, they can provide land use data to predict occurrences, recognize landslide characteristics, and create landslide hazard zonation maps.
Dwidp presentation 1
Nepal faces significant risks from water-induced disasters like floods, landslides, and debris flows due to its steep terrain, monsoon climate, and high rates of deforestation. The Department of Water Induced Disaster Prevention (DWIDP) was established in 2000 to help manage these risks and mitigate disasters. DWIDP implements structural measures like river training works and non-structural measures like public awareness campaigns. However, challenges remain like uncontrolled development in high risk areas and lack of adequate forecasting and preparedness systems. DWIDP seeks to strengthen cooperation to better address Nepal's water disaster challenges.

Going forward, the document calls for further strengthening capacity and protecting the most vulnerable from disasters.
Floods in Pakistan
Floods can have both advantages and disadvantages. While floods can replenish topsoil and spread plant seeds, they can also be destructive by damaging infrastructure, drowning people and animals, and stranding people. The 2010 floods in Pakistan were some of the worst in the country's history, affecting over 16 million people across four provinces. Causes included heavy monsoon rains, snowmelt, improper drainage systems, and inadequate dam capacity. The floods caused over $10 billion in damages by destroying crops, roads, power infrastructure, and irrigation systems. An integrated flood management plan is needed that combines approaches like constructing dams and reservoirs, improving forecasting systems, regulating development in flood-prone areas, and educating communities.

Trends in Social and Environmental Responsibility Presentation
The Mekong River is essential to the livelihoods of more than 260 million people in China and Southeast Asia and supports plentiful and varied ecosystems. However, Southeast Asia’s decades long period of economic growth has increased the demand on water and energy resources in the region. This has put the Mekong River on the spot as a primary water and hydropower source in the region. Consequent construction of dams and other interventions in the river’s ecosystem has led to physical changes in the Mekong River Basin over the last five to ten years. These Interventions in the river system has raised various concerns for policy makers and environmental conservationists alike. However, there is little agreement among experts and policy makers on the primary causes of these changes and the transboundary nature of the Mekong River complicates the search for sustainable solutions. This report aims to shed light on the impact of the changing Mekong River on Thailand and the intricate causes for its change through interviews with experts and locals in affected areas. Based on this analysis the report further makes recommendations for ways forward that ensure the inclusive and sustainable development of the Mekong River basin.

Rain water harvesting & community based flood mapping plan of action
The document summarizes a meeting between the Vice President of Myanmar and the Advisory Group of the National Water Resources Committee. They discussed a combined plan of action for a national rain water harvesting campaign and community-based flood mapping campaign in response to floods in 2015. The plan includes an immediate response, medium and long term planning through 2020, with a focus on prevention of future disasters through activities like forest restoration, watershed management, and implementing integrated water resources management.
Urban Flooding causes and Management Dr.Reddy
The document discusses urban flooding causes and management. It notes that heavy rainfall in Andhra Pradesh in September-October 2009 caused widespread flooding that displaced over 1.3 million people and killed 199. Flooding is caused by both natural factors like heavy rainfall and silted drainage systems, as well as human factors such as urbanization, deforestation, and lack of proper drainage infrastructure. Flood management requires reducing exposure to floods through land use planning, improving drainage systems, and implementing preparedness, response and recovery measures at the national, state, district and local levels in accordance with the Disaster Management Act of 2005.
KAAS Plateau Report card Feb 2013
The local community around Kaas Plateau in India, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, took steps towards sustainable development after the site's inscription. Through community meetings and committees, the village decided to monitor tourists, charge fees, and distribute funds to villages for initiatives like gas stoves to reduce cutting trees, providing fodder during drought, and solar lights for security. Future plans include expanding these activities and sustainable development projects with support from NGOs TERRE and RANWATA.
Integrated Flood Management Project
This document summarizes a project implemented in Nyando River Basin in Kenya by VIRED International and CARE Kenya to address flooding issues. The project organized flood control teams, identified vulnerable areas, and implemented both structural measures like drainage canals and non-structural measures like agricultural practices. This reduced displacements by 25% and allowed reclamation of flood plains for agriculture. New crops were successfully grown, demonstrating the project's achievement of its goals. Challenges included political interference and disputes, while successes included community capacity building and linking farmers to markets.
landslide.pdf
Rotational and translational slides, rock falls, rock toppling, lateral spreading, and debris flows are the main types of landslides. Landslides are caused by both natural factors like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, and steep slopes, as well as human factors like inappropriate drainage and slope cutting. The 1998 Malpa landslide in Uttarakhand, India killed over 200 people after heavy rains caused a massive rock fall. Proper land use planning, drainage, afforestation, and early warning systems can help reduce landslide risks.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
