A flood myth is a narrative found in various cultures that describes a great flood sent by deities to cleanse the world of humanity's sins, often featuring a sole survivor or a group of survivors who repopulate the earth. These myths explore themes of destruction, renewal, and the relationship between humans and the divine.

Flood maps (referred to as flood risk maps) are developed for planning purposes and the needs of insurance companies. They usually map the flood with a 100-year recurrence interval (Q p 1%, i.e. discharge of probability of occurrence p =... more
This study analyzed recent extreme weather events in Rwanda with emphasis on drought during March-May (MAM) season using Z-index. Composite analysis identified the years 2009 and 2010 as the most recent dry and wet years respectively.... more
The FLIRE DSS is a web-based Decision Support System for the combined forest and flood risk management and planning. State of the art tools and models have been used in order to enable Civil Protection agencies and local stakeholders to... more
We quantified sediment-water interface and water column nitrogen (N) transformation rates seasonally over the course of a year that incorporated a major storm event and a period of prolonged riverine base flow in Copano Bay, Texas, a... more
In order to save the lives of a people, identification of the area and rescue team is needed. Along with a trained rescue team a quick and relevant intimation system is also needed so that the rescue operation can be carried out quickly.... more
Bihar is home to several prestigious medical colleges that offer top-quality education and training to aspiring doctors. With a growing focus on healthcare infrastructure and medical education, Bihar has expanded its medical institutions... more
Highlights. -We study the impact of future scenarios on floods in the Cambodian Mekong floodplain. -The full combined development scenario alters flows up to -30 % in the wet season and +140 % in the dry season.
Summary: This paper presents an outline of a possible solution of an intended expert system for real time operation for flood prevention of rivers and river canals in Vojvodina Serbia. The system should enable dispatchers to make... more
