Pakistan floods driven by climate change, say UN officials
The recent floods in Pakistan could turn out to be the worst impact of climate change to date, according to UN climate experts. Scientists at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said last week (11 August) that there is no doubt that higher global temperatures were behind the floods. 'There's no doubt that clearly the climate change is contributing, a major contributing factor,' Ghassem ...

Predicting drainage impacts
Predicting the drainage impacts on downstream peak events is complex because it involves studying many physical processes at different interdependent scales: the individual field, the drainage network, and the catchment. This group of researchers from France and North Carolina performed an experiment performed in a small subsurface-drained catchment (130 ha), east of Paris, France. The main ...

Rotork actuators survive three months submersion during disastrous flood
At the beginning of 2014 the Madeira River, the largest tributary of the Amazon, reached record heights and caused the worst flooding for a century across large areas of north-west Brazil. The water level exceeded the 1997 record level of 17.52 metres by more than seven metres, flooding the homes of 3,500 families as well as the TEVEL Porto Velho Terminal tank farm for more than three months. ...

Solinst leveloggers simplify your pumping tests
Before the advent of pressure transducers with data loggers, field technicians and drilling contractors were relegated to hours, or even days on site during conventional pumping tests, continuously monitoring water level fluctuations in a vast array of observation wells. Often requiring running from well to well, readings were taken by hand with Water Level Meters. This was time consuming and ...

New US Geological Survey information system reveals why Arizona’s groundwater levels are falling
Where in Arizona are groundwater levels falling? Where are they stable or rising? How much has the water table changed since large-scale pumping has occurred? A new online system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is designed to answer these and other questions for the most developed ground-water areas in the State. The system uses water-level measurements from wells, collected over ...

Radar water level sensor undergoes river thames trial
Environment Agency hydrologists have recently trialled a new radar water level sensor at a site by Molesey Lock on the River Thames near Hampton Court Palace. The sensor was installed during October 2008 and initial results indicate that significant time and cost savings are possible with the new technology. Water level measurements are taken at Molesey Lock for onward transmission to the ...

Why Is Water Level Monitoring Important?
Remote water level monitoring Whereas water level monitoring used to be done by manually, with engineers sent to record levels of water on a fixed, often monthly basis, the ever-increasing improvements to technology means that water level monitoring can now be done remotely. Telemetric devices allow for water levels to be recorded much more regularly. This data can then be sent to other ...

Innovative equipment for flood control
For the technical flood control, flood control reservoirs are created, which are able to absorb large amounts of water and to pass a tolerable amount, with the support of throttle bodies. Innovative equipment of BIOGEST AG is implemented here. For example, a flood control reservoir was fitted in a town in Baden-Württemberg with a ALPHEUS-Abflussbegrenzer that no external power drain on the 1900 l ...

China Drought ‘Threatening’ Global Food Security
Record heatwaves and prolonged drought conditions have hit China hard this year, with some rivers in the country – including parts of the Yangtze – drying up in the face of soaring temperatures. In August, it was reported that the Yangtze – the third biggest river in the world – reached record low water levels, with water flow more than 50 per cent below the average of ...

Water supplier fines ring-fenced for water quality projects
In 2021, water suppliers were handed a record amount in fines relating to pollution incidents around the country – and it has just been announced that this money will be funnelled back to help protect the environment and make water quality improvements in the nation’s waterways. Since 2015, fines of more than £141 million have been secured following 56 prosecutions by the ...

Everglades restoration continues despite water scarcity
South Florida experienced a severe water shortage during Water Year 2007, more than a foot below historic averages for the region. From May 1, 2006 to April 31, 2007, low rainfall reduced flows across the entire region, according the annual report released Tuesday by Florida state agencies. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and South Florida Water Management District report ...
