Flood of Change: the Vanport Flood and Race Relations in Portland, Oregon
… and the analysis of events leading up to a 1948 flood that destroyed the housing project and resulted in a refugee and housing crisis will comprise the middle of the paper. Lastly, an examination of whether or not an improvement in race relations occurred following the community’s response in …

Extreme rainfall, flood scaling and flood policy options in the United States
River flood and rainfall have been shown to exhibit scale invariance behavior over a range of space and time scales. Although various approaches have been taken to investigate and model the various scaling aspects of rainfall and floods, little theoretical work has been done on the relation between …

Kewekapawetan: Return After the Flood
The people of South Indian Lake Manitoba are slowly leaving behind a long period of social crisis brought on by the damming of their namesake lake in the 1970’s. The environmental devastation still exists, but the community returns to their original village site once a year for a gathering called …

Flood Risk Analysis on Terrains
… how water flowsacross a terrain and creates floods by filling up depressions. This thesis examines a number of flood-risk related problems. One such problem is answering terrain-flood queries: given a terrain represented as a triangulated xy-monotone surface, a rain distribution and a volume …

Flood Processes in Semi-arid Streams: Sediment Transport, Flood Routing, and Groundwater - Surface Water Interactions
Flooding in semi-arid streams is highly variable but distinguished from its humid counterpart in terms of forcing conditions, landscape response, flood severity, and stream-aquifer connectivity. These floods have the potential for great benefit in a water-limited environment, but also great …

Flood potential of Poyang Lake, China
… 2]) connected to the Yangtze River. Flooding hazards in Poyang Lake regions have become more severe in recent years. To reduce flood potential downstream, including Poyang Lake, and also to generate hydroelectric power and to improve navigation, Three Gorges Dam is being built in the …

Flood Survival Strategies of Overwintering Snakes
This thesis investigates snake flood survival during hibernation and how anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate variability may affect habitat quality and overwintering survival. Chapter one reviews the current understanding of ecophysiology of hibernation in snakes. In chapter two, I …

Future Flood Mitigation in Charlotte-Mecklenburg
This case study examines the successes of flood mitigation planning in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, beginning with their locally created future conditions flood risk maps, and followed by complementary risk reduction strategies informed by these maps. Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s future conditions maps, known …

Examining business perceptions of flood risk in relation to the governance of flood mitigation on the Humber Estuary
… the reconciliation of economic development and flood risk mitigation on the Humber Estuary, England. As sea level-rise is increasing due to suspected anthropogenic climate change, the Environment Agency has taken a lead role in mitigating flood risk on the Humber estuary through the process of …

FLOOD PROJECTION AND ANALYSIS THROUGH STOCHASTIC DOWNSCALING
… (IDF) curves. The IDF curves were then used in flood simulations. Flood maps were generated and the vulnerability of some areas (flood extent and flood depths) were identified. The results are useful for policy makers to propose flood mitigation measures in context of the anticipated increasing …

Floodplain and Flood Probability Mapping Using Geodatabases
… presents methods of creating digital maps for floodplain delineation and flood probability studies and storing them in a geodatabase. Methods for creating a geodatabase for water resources outside of a GIS are presented. The geodatabase follows the ArcHydro data model. Methods are also shown …

Probabilistic evaluation of flood damage in buildings
… built environment has become very vulnerable to floods. Every city is building a resilient plan to decrease its vulnerability. However, the studies are often reduced to case studies and if engineers manage to build smarter, to upgrade or strengthen existing systems, they do not necessarily …

Drone Imagery Applied to Enhance Flood Modeling
Accessible flood modeling for low-resource, data-scarce communities currently does not exist. This paper proposes using drone imagery to compensate for the lack of other flood modeling data (i.e. streamflow measurements). Three flood models were run for Dzaleka Refugee Camp, located in Dowa, …
