The term "first flush effect" refers to rapid changes in water quality (pollutant concentration or load) that occur after early season rains. Soil and vegetation particles wash into streams; sediments and other accumulated organic particles on the river bed are re-suspended, and dissolved substances from soil and shallow groundwater can be flushed into streams.
In 2012, the publication of Water Quality Research Journal of Canada was passed from the Canadian Association on Water Quality (CAWQ) to IWA Publishing. The first open access article was published in 2006 in the Journal of Water & Health and in 2016 the H2Open Journal became the first fully open access journal. [21]
Water Science and Technology is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of the management of water quality. It was established in 1969 and is published by IWA Publishing . The editor-in-chief is Wolfgang Rauch ( University of Innsbruck ).
Flood control channels are large and empty basins where surface water can flow through but is not retained (except during flooding), or dry channels that run below the street levels of some larger cities, so that if a flash flood occurs the excess water can drain out along these channels into a river or other bodies of water. Flood channels are ...
Comparison of hydrologic (water cycle) and environmental (streetscape) attributes in conventional (upper) and Blue-Green Cities. Thorne led the Blue-Green Cities research project (2013-2016), funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), that aimed to deliver and evaluate the multiple flood risk benefits in Blue-Green Cities.
"The potential floods that California may receive in the future could be magnitudes worse than recent floods,” Samuel Hippard, a Cal State Fullerton student and one of the study’s co-authors ...
the Gilbert F. White National Flood Policy Forum and the ASFPM Flood Hazard Fellowship. Resources for the Future (RFF) runs the Gilbert F. White Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. There is a Gilbert White Award offered yearly by the Association of American Geographers Hazards Specialty Group.
The Journal of Hydroinformatics provides a specific outlet for Hydroinformatics research, [1] and the community gathers to exchange ideas at the biennial conferences. These activities are coordinated by the joint IAHR , [ 2 ] IWA , [ 3 ] IAHS [ 4 ] Hydroinformatics Section .
