Engineering Hydrology of Arid and Semi-Arid Regions
Author: Mostafa M. Soliman
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 143985839X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
The natural scarcity of water in arid and semiarid regions, aggravated by man-made factors, makes it difficult to achieve a reliable water resources supply. Communities in these areas pay the price for thousands of years of water manipulation. Presenting important insight into the complexities of arid region hydrology, Engineering Hydrology of Arid

Urban Geomorphology
Author: Mary J Thornbush
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128119527
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Urban Geomorphology: Landforms and Processes in Cities addresses the human impacts on landscapes through occupation (urbanization) and development as a contribution to anthropogenic geomorphology or "anthropogeomorphology." This includes a focus on land clearance, conservation issues, pollution, decay and erosion, urban climate, and anthropogenic climate change. These topics, as well as others, are considered to shed more light on the human transformation of natural landscapes and the environmental impacts and geomorphological hazards that environmental change can encompass. Its multidisciplinary approach is appropriate for audiences from a range of disciplines and professions, from geologists, conservationists, and land-use planners to architects and developers. Urban Geomorphology not only transcends disciplines, but also covers varied spatial-temporal frameworks and presents a diverse set of approaches and solutions to human impacts and geomorphological hazards within urban landscapes. - Features a cross-disciplinary perspective, highlighting the importance of the geosciences to environmental science, engineering, and public policy - Focuses on the built environment as the location of concentrated human impacts and change - Provides an international scope, including case studies from urban areas around the world

Monitoring and Mitigation of Volcano Hazards
Author: Roberto Scarpa
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642800874
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 846
Book Description
By the year 2000, the number of people at risk from volcanic hazards is likely to increase to around half a billion. Since 1980, significant advances have been made in volcano monitoring, the data from which provides the sole scientific basis for eruption prediction. Here, internationally renowned and highly experienced specialists provide 25 comprehensive articles covering a wide range of related topics: monitoring techniques and data analysis; modelling of monitoring data and eruptive phenomena; volcanic hazards and risk assessment; and volcanic emergency management. Selected case histories of recent volcanic disasters, such as Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, demonstrate that effective communication - between scientists, civil authorities, the media and the population at risk - is essential to reducing the danger.
