How property owners can protect against flooding with portable cofferdams
In recent years the United States has been hit by an increasing number of extreme weather events. There is no doubt that global warming is a genuine aspect of the world’s climate, whether you believe it is man-made or not. Annual global temperatures have been on the rise since the 1880s, resulting in weather patterns that are becoming harder to predict. Flooding is one aspect of extreme ...

Project - Membre, Belgium Flood Control
The river Semois in the Wallonie district burst its banks and 120m of Geodesign Heavy Duty 1.8 m Flood Barrier was deployed in Membre, Belgium. In Vresse-sur-Semois, another 140m of Geodesign Heavy Duty 1.5 m Flood Barrier was successfully deployed. During one week, both towns were protected against the flood water with the Geodesign ...

Need Sandbags Fast? Make Your Own for Less
When sandbags are needed, time and manpower are the critical elements to be able to protect homes, businesses and communities. With flooding being the number 1 natural disaster resulting in the loss of life and devastating property damage, being able to construct temporary structures quickly to keep the flood waters at bay is critical. The SandMaster can speed up the process and reduce the labor ...

The most efficient sandbag filling machine on the market
The SandMaster takes the process of filling sandbags to a whole new level. Most sandbag filling machines simply replace the shovel and still require a piece of equipment to load the sand. That piece of equipment with the SandMaster can fill, transports, securely close and places the bags where they are needed. Maybe your community still fill bags the old fashion way, by hand. Anyone who has been ...

British Aerospace - Case Study
Background Belfor was contracted to supply flood and fire remedial works to the site and, once complete, they recommended that BAE should consider flood mitigation measures to ensure it didn’t ever happen again. Belfor and Aquobex had recently partnered to offer flood mitigation services to Belfor’s customers, and were consequently invited to make a presentation to them with their ...

Flooding: Would more time to react help you?
If you have been affected by flooding you will know that the effects are devastating. Flood waters can destroy homes, communities and wash away your treasured possessions. They are wreaking havoc on many lives across the UK ...

A real-time operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir with flood risk analysis
Risk analysis is essential to reservoir operation. In this study, a new analysis for reservoir operation is proposed to enhance the utilization rate of the flood water from the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) during the flood season. Based on five scenarios of hydrology forecasting with the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), a multi-objective optimum operation was implemented ...

EOR Analysis – Enigma Field, Wyoming (Tensleep Formation)
Andres Fernandez at the University of Wyoming has kindly given us permission to show some of the graphics that he created using RockWorks17. Andres’ work is centered on optimizing production and revenue using the Enigma field as a case study. Figure 1. Raster geo-locations of wellbores. Also showing placements of water injectors and oil producers, open (white) and closed (black) rasters, ...

Flood control and disaster management
Flood control refers to all methods used to reduce or prevent the detrimental effects of flood waters (wikipedia). Some of the common techniques used for flood control are installation of rock berms, rock rip-raps, sandbags, maintaining normal slopes with vegetation or application of soil cements on steeper slopes and construction or expansion of drainage channels. Other methods include levees, ...

Quick Sandbagging for Spring Flooding 2014
According to NOAA’s Spring Outlook for 2014, rivers in half of the continental USA are at minor or moderate risks of flooding this spring. The SandMaster sandbagging attachment may be just what your community needs to provide the protection when a flood event threatens your area. With the ability to fill, transport, securely close and place the bags where they are needed with a fraction ...

Towards interactive flood management in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Water governance in urban areas is inherently complex and challenging. During recent decades, water management has increasingly been focusing on integration of the different economic demands regarding water resources. Modern water governance takes the whole water system into account in its aim to optimise the different values of the water system, in close interaction with stakeholders. This paper ...

Nothing phases T-T controls case study
On Thursday 24th March 2011 a London Underground tube line was suspended after a station was flooded by water leaking from the fountains at Trafalgar Square. Contractors working for the Greater London Assembly accidentally chopped through a section of water pipe which feeds the fountains. The London fire brigade was called shortly after 10am with one engine on the scene to pump out water which ...

How to clean up a flood damaged Golf Course
In an article written by Jeff Kolpack of Inforum, the Forum of Fargo and Moorhead, SRS Crisafulli makes news for helping the Fargo Park District plan for quick removal of anticipated flood waters at the Edgewood Golf Course, an 18-hole, par 71 Championship course beautifully located along the Red River - the very same Red River that is likely to jump it's banks. “Enlisting the help of a ...

Streamline based black–oil simulation and its application to waterflooding
Finite–difference method is widely used for solving large–scale multiphase displacement problems. Drawbacks of finite difference methods are numerical dispersion, grid orientation, small time step size, and large computation time. To overcome these problems, streamline methods are being developed in which fluid is transported along the streamlines instead of the finite difference grid. This paper ...

Study of impacts of floods on the water quality in an arid zone: the case of the Tarim River in Northwest China
This paper presents the results of the study undertaken at the Tarim River Basin in Northwest China to analyze impacts of flooding on water quality. It was shown that irregular rainfall was the cause of flash floods that affected many ecosystems and eroded soils. Simulation results and the existence of relationships between flood volume and flood peak allowed potential model application that ...

River Floodplain Maintenance-measures influencing roughness
The maintenance of rivers and floodplains can make an important contribution to flood protection. Waters conservation used to be understood mainly as verification of fast discharges, which was achieved through regular mowing. Furthermore, the waterways had to be navigable and accordingly required water depths had to be accomplished through maintenance measures (e.g. digging). Today, sustainable ...

Using UV Fluorescence technology to monitor for organic pollutants in Flood Water
For many years the water industry has relied on traditional sampling techniques to monitor water quality in a wide range of environments. Traditional tests such as BOD, PH, Dissolved Oxygen and Ammonia have formed the bedrock of monitoring parameters. There is however other ways to establish water quality and UV fluorescence offers an up to date solution for the investigation of Organic ...

Hydrological projections based on the coupled hydrological–hydraulic modeling in the complex river network region: a case study in the Taihu basin, China
Water resources in the Taihu basin, China, are not only facing the effects of a changing climate but also consequences of an intensive urbanization process with the abandonment of rural activities and the resulting changes in land use/land-cover. In the present work, the impact of climate change and urbanization on hydrological processes was assessed using an integrated modeling system, ...

Urban pluvial flooding in Jakarta: applying state-of-the-art technology in a data scarce environment
Available data relating to major pluvial flooding events in Jakarta, Indonesia were used to investigate the suitability of two different levels of sophistication in urban modelling tools for modelling these events. InfoWorks CS v9.0 was employed to build 1D and 1D/2D models of a 541 ha area of inner city Ciliwung River catchment which has a history of being particularly badly affected by flooding ...
