The effort required to develop water resources engineering models can be significant. But once developed, in many instances the models are only evaluated for a limited, or a single set of conditions. The results and predictions obtained from these evaluations are the ones used in design, presented in reports and conveyed to decision makers and the public. This approach might serve theimmediateneeds of a project; however, for most modeling efforts a...
The use of two-dimensional (2D) storm water models has increased in recent years primarily due to advances in software, hardware and the availability of surface data. These advances allow for robust and diverse applications including basinwide storm water assessments. Storm water master planning is a critical element for the development of state and local agency comprehensive plans, capital improvement projects, and associated budgets.The Josephine County Public Works Department in Josephine County, Oregon, used...

OverviewOn 20th July 2007, an unusual storm swept west across England along the approximate line of the M4 motorway. Thatcham, a town in Berkshire, was one of the worst affected. Many towns in England flooded that month from the Humber to Tewksbury. In fact there were 200 major floods worldwide in 2007 affecting 180 million people. Some of these floods were caused by rainfalls much more severe than those that crossed England but the amount of damage caused is related to whether the infrastructure can cope. In...
Horizon is an environment company focused on water treatment.In the latest years,with the improvement of industrial economy,water quality is becoming worse and worse.To prevent the pollution trend,our government has raised the standard of sewage discharge several times,so traditional process and technology of water treatment can’t apply for the environmental requirements and technology revolution and innovation are necessary.In the recent years,many company and community have improved products to meet...
