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.
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.

ICLR Friday Forum: Dynamics of urban earthquake risk (April 2015)glennmcgillivray
On April 17, 2015 ICLR conducted a workshop entitled 'Dynamics of urban earthquake risk' led by Prof. Stephanie E. Chang of the University of British Columbia. The presentation explored the question of how urban seismic risk is changing over time. Are our cities becoming safer due to advances in earthquake engineering? Or is risk growing as a result of societal factors such as population expansion and urban development? In a case study of Metro Vancouver, a loss estimation model was developed to estimate potential losses for the same seismic event over seven decades of rapid population growth. Retrospective analysis in the first period (1971~2006) indicates whether the region has become safer, and why. Prospective analysis in the second period (2006~2041) examined how different urban growth patterns would affect seismic safety. The presentation concluded by considering the generalizability of the Vancouver results to other urban areas, as well as the importance of understanding urban risk dynamics for public policy and the insurance industry.
Stephanie E. Chang is a professor at the University of British Columbia, with the School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) and the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability (IRES). She recently held a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Disaster Management and Urban Sustainability (2004-2013). Her specialty is in the socio-economic impact of natural disasters, particularly earthquakes. She has published extensively on economic impacts of disasters, modeling disaster losses, urban risk dynamics, critical infrastructure systems and their interdependencies, economic evaluation of disaster mitigations, and urban disaster recovery. She has served on the U.S. National Research Council's Committee on Disaster Research in the Social Sciences and its Committee on Earthquake Resilience – Research, Implementation, and Outreach.
Storm intensity not increasing - factual review of engineering data - Canada ...Robert Muir
Storm Intensity Not Increasing. Review of Weather Event Statement in Insurance Bureau of Canada’s “Telling the Weather Story” prepared by Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction. Environment Canada analysis and engineering dataset review for Canada and Ontario, July, 2015. "Old extremes are the new normal".
As illustrated through these slides, Telling the Weather Story makes a statement on the increased frequency of storms and weather events, indicating that in parts of Canada, events that occurred every 40 years are occurring every 6 years, due to climate change.
The statement on increased frequency is unfounded as (based on ICLR's IPCC source and material and IBC's presentation to the Empire Club of Canada) it is based on a theoretical shift in temperature frequency from a global climate change report, and is contrary to Environment Canada’s actual analysis and data on local rainfall intensity trends.
The Telling the Weather Story statement on increased storm intensity, based on temperature theory has been i) embraced as rainfall facts and research by many organizations, ii) embellished to apply to extreme rainfall, and iii) considered in policy and economic reports. Organizations promoting the misinformation in the statement include TD Economics, The Toronto Star / thestar.com, CBC News, Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Columbia Institute Centre for Civic Governance, Civic Action, CBC Doc Zone, The Calgary Sun, CanadianUnderwriter.ca, Aviva Canada, Insurance Bureau of Canada.
Due to the unfounded Telling the Weather Story Weather Story statement, policies and efforts toward mitigating increasing urban flood damages may be misdirected to climate change mitigation, as opposed to more effective risk identification/management efforts, urban planning / stormwater management policies and infrastructure remediation / capital investment efforts that address the root causes of increased damages, not related to theoretical storm frequency shifts.
It is an inconvenient truth that increases in temperature, and in theory water vapour, have not translated into increased rainfall intensities. Research at MIT and Columbia in fact states the contrary, that rainfall intensities can decrease at higher temperatures and that intensities are governed by CAPE and not temperature.
Environment Canada has been correcting false reporting by the insurance industry on this topic of increasing rainfall frequency, for example correcting CBC reporting:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/more-than-half-of-homeowners-insurance-claims-stem-from-water-damage-broker-says-1.3291111
Or recent reporting in Canadian Underwriter, specifically on the Weather Story:
http://www.canadianunderwriter.ca/insurance/new-ibc-flood-model-shows-1-8-million-canadian-households-at-very-high-risk-1004006457/
CBC/Radio-Canada Ombudsman Guy Gendron's ruling highlights media issues with accurate extreme rain reporting here as well: https://bit.ly/2RPx7p9
Floods can be hugely destructive, but they also offer opportunities for farmers and fisherfolk. If their frequency and extent can be measured, then we will be better able to mitigate costs and maximise benefits. Digital geospatial flood inundation mapping is a powerful new approach for flood response that shows floodwater extent and depth on the land surface. IWMI research will evaluate this new technology and develop a prototype flood inundation map for South Asia. Also discussed is a project to flood map and model in a spate irrigation system in Sudan.

Analytical study on effects of water quality parameters using remote sensing ...eSAT Journals
Abstract Rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to unchecked proliferation of hazardous industries in and around Hyderabad, unchecked and unregulated distribution and management of urban resources especially green areas, water bodies and the combination of above aspects with large scale urban sprawl have all made Hyderabad an unmanaged polluting city. One of the major problems 'Water Pollution' is referred to the addition to water an excess of material that is harmful to humans, animals, or desirable aquatic life, or otherwise causes significant departures from the normal activities of various living communities, in or near bodies of water. The term water pollution refers to any type of aquatic contamination between two extremes: A highly enriched over productive biotic community such as river or lake with nutrients from sewer or fertilizer. Water bodies poisoned by toxic chemicals, which eliminate living organizing, exclude all forms of life. Many steps are being taken to keep pollutants from reaching groundwater supplies. Manufacturers should use fewer toxic raw materials. Consumers have switched to phosphate-free detergents and other less polluting household products. Pollution control measures such as the Clean Water Act have also been a big part of the protection of drinking water supplies. Reutilization and Recycling of Waste: Various kinds of wastes like paper pulp, municipal and industrial effluents, sewage and thermal pollutants can be recycled to advantage. For example, urban waste could be recycled to generate cheaper fuel gas and electricity. Removal of Pollutants- The various physicochemical techniques used for removal of chemical biological or radiological pollutants have been adsorption, electro dialysis, ion exchange and reverse osmosis etc. Keywords: Water Bodies, Water Pollution, Water Quality.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

17. Types and causes of floods 3.0 TYPES OF FLOODING 3.1 According to Duration Slow-Onset Flooding, Rapid-Onset Flooding, Flash Flooding. 3.2 According to Location Coastal Flooding, Arroyos Flooding, River Flooding and Urban Flooding. The urban area is paved with roads etc and the discharge of heavy rain can’t absorbed into the ground due to drainage constraints leads to flooding of streets, underpasses, low lying areas and storm drains. 4.0 CAUSES OF URBAN FLOODING 4.1 Natural Causes 4.1.1 Heavy Rainfall / Flash floods Water of Heavy rainfall concentrates and flows quickly through urban paved area and impounded in to low lying area raising the water level. It creates more havoc when a main drain or a river passing through the area over-flows or breaches 4.1.2 Lack of Lakes Lakes can store the excess water and regulate the flow of water. When lakes become smaller, their ability to regulate the flow become less and hence flooding. 4.1.3 Silting The drains carry large amounts of sediments and deposited in the lower courses making beds shallower thus channel capacity is reduced. When there is heavy rain, these silted drains can’t carry full discharge and result in flooding.
18. 4.2 Human Causes 4.2.1 Population pressure Because of large amount of people, more materials are needed, like wood, land, food, etc. This aggravates overgrazing, over cultivation and soil erosion which increases the risk of flooding. 4.2.2 Deforestation Large areas of forests near the rivers/catchment of cities are used to make rooms for settlements, roads and farmlands and is being cleared due to which soil is quickly lost to drains. This raises the drain bed causing overflow and in turn urban flooding. 4.2.3 Trespassing on water storm drains The areas which were essentially created by the storm water drains to let their flood waters pass freely being tress-passed for developmental purposes result in obstruction of water flow and thus contributed immensely to the fury of floods.
19. 4.2.4 Urbanisation leads to paving of surfaces which decreases ground absorption and increases the speed and amount of surface flow. The water rushes down suddenly into the streams from their catchment areas leading to a sudden rise in water level and flash floods. Unplanned urbanisation is the key cause of urban flooding. Various kinds of depression and low lying areas near or around the cities which were act as cushions and flood absorbers are gradually filled up and built upon due to urbanisation pressure. This results in inadequate channel capacity causing urban flooding. 4.2.5 Un Authorised colonies have been developed by the local colonisers on the agriculture land, earlier being used for crop has been purchased at lucrative prices from farmers, without consideration to the city plans ,drainage, sewerage etc. and thus subjected to flooding during heavy rain falls. 4.2.6 Poor Water and Sewerage Management Old drainage and sewerage system has not been overhauled nor is it adequate now .All the drainage and sewer system in many parts of Delhi has collapsed resulting in flooding. This can be seen during rainy seasons every year. 4.2.7 Lack of attention to the nature of hydrological system. 4.2.8 Lack of flood control measures. 4.2.9 Multiple authorities in a city but owning responsibility by none.
21. Impacts - loss of human life - flooding of housing, commercial and industrial properties - flooding of streets, intersections and transportation systems, causing traffic delays - recurring basement backups from surcharged sanitary sewers - inflow of stormwater into sanitary sewers - municipal waste water treatment plant by-passing - combined sewer overflows - spilling the surcharged sewers content into streets - damage to public and personal property - health hazards - disruption of services such as water supply, sewerage and power supply - delays in public transportation - cleanup demands - adverse effects upon the aesthetics - disturbance of wildlife habitats - economic losses - pollution of local waterways and receiving water bodies
22. Flood Management Planning - reducing exposure of people and property to flood hazards - reducing existing level of flood damages - minimising soil erosion and sedimentation problems - protecting environmental quality and well-being by reducing in-the-catchment pollution - improving the usefulness of floodplains - minimising receiving water pollution - reducing future after-development flow rates to pre-development levels - enhancing recreational opportunities and improving overall urban amenities - replenishing ground water - supplementing domestic water supply - capturing water for irrigation - protecting public health - providing open space and parklands - using stormwater as a resource
24. Godavari Floods August 2000 Hyderabad, Aug 28: THe Godavari river was in spate and rising rapidly all along its course in Andhra Pradesh today, posing a flood threat to five districts even as the state government was grappling with last week's havoc wrought by floods that had claimed 141 lives. low-lying areas in Karimnagar, Warangal, Adilabad, Khammam and Nizamabad were being evacuated and the district administration had been put on alert to take up rescue and relief operations. Following heavy rains in catchment areas of Pranhita in Maharashtra, Godavari level was rising rapidly all along its course from Nanded to Dowleshwaram in east Godavari districts, he said. The Godavari basin districts had received a record 42 cm rainfall since Sunday triggering a flood threat to Karimnagar, Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Nizamabaddistricts. The flood water entered 23 island villages in west Godavari district while the famous Kolleru lake in the district was in spate inundating one lakh hectares of paddy crop. In the last week's floods, 141 people had died and over 3,090 villages, spread over 13 districts, were affected with 298 villages being totally marooned. Over 54,000 houses and 12,247 roads were damaged and the preliminary estimation of losses to public property was put at Rs 776 crore.
