RNEAR-REAL TIME FLOOD EXTENT MONITORING IN MARIKINA RIVER PHILIPPINES: MODEL PARAMETERISATION USING REMOTELY-SENSED DATA AND FIELD MEASUREMENTS

Garcia Avenue, Technology Park Complex, UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines; Tel: +63-2-4269760 Jen Alconis National Institute of Geological Sciences, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines KEY WORDS: Flood extent monitoring, HEC RAS, ALOS AVNIR2, Marikina River, Philippines. ABSTRACT: Floods are a persistent problem in the Philippines that need to be addressed in a more scientific way in order to mitigate its costly impacts to human lives and properties. The September 2009 floods caused by Typhoon Ketsana that devastated Metro Manila and its surroundings exemplified the need for an accurate and reliable flood monitoring tool for determining the extents of floods and for assessing the risks due to this disaster. In this study, we developed and parameterized a near-real time flood extent monitoring model for Marikina River, Philippines using the Hydrologic Engineering Center – River Analysis System (HEC RAS) program. River bathymetric surveys and cross-section measurements were conducted to generate the geometry of the Marikina River required by HEC RAS. Flood plain surface roughness coefficients needed to parameterize the model were derived from multispectral classification of a 10-m spatial resolution ALOS AVNIR-2 of the study area. The HEC RAS model was configured to accept real time

    One of the major needs for management in areas with river basins is to reduce the flood risk, especially in LICs such as Bangladesh where urbanisation and global warming has increased the flood risk exponentially. The flood risk has increased due to high levels of glacial melt water which has increased due to global warming melting the Himalayas at a faster rate. Perhaps the biggest cause is due to the population growth of migrants going to Dhaka for work (over 1 million people move to Dhaka every year), this has meant that urbanisation and deforestation is taking place to cater for all the people. Urbanisation has increased the surface run off, making the surface impermeable and increasing the amount reaching the river channels. Deforestation has also reduced interception so more water is reaching the surface once again increasing surface run off, roots also bind soil and help keep the soil broken up to allow infiltration, which is not being able to occur as much with the reduced the number of trees. There are over 1000 schools in the area, over 30 millions people depend on the river for their livelihood, and fishing contributes to over 73% of rural residents, which shows how important protecting the…

    The impacts can vary in severity due to a range of human and physical factors. Human factors include how urbanised the area affected is, as built up cities tend to have impermeable surfaces which increases run-off and therefore worsens the floods that occur. Torrential rain and flooding, along with storm surges and strong winds, are all hazards posed by tropical revolving storms. These hazards, similar to the storm, are inevitable and cannot be stopped from occurring but methods can take place to try and reduce the impacts. Physical factors are out of our control. The size of the storm affects how widespread the impacts are, as well as the duration of the storm and the intensity of the storm, also affecting certain areas. Preparation and preparedness are not the only methods that can be carried out. Monitoring and forecasting with the use of satellites and radar create computer models based on…

    The Black Codes were laws passed on the state and local level in the United States to limit the basic human rights and civil liberties of blacks. Even though the U.S. constitution originally discriminated against blacks (as "other persons") and both Northern and Southern states had passed discriminatory legislation from the early 19th century, the term Black Codes is used most often to refer to legislation passed by Southern states at the end of the Civil War to control the labor, migration and other activities of newly-freed slaves.In Texas, the Eleventh Legislature produced these codes in 1866. The intent of the legislation was to reaffirm the inferior position that slaves and free blacks had held in antebellum Texas and to regulate black labor. The codes reflected the unwillingness of white Texans to accept blacks as equals and also their fears that freedmen would not work unless coerced. Thus the codes continued legal discrimination between whites and blacks. The legislature, when it amended the 1856 penal code, emphasized the continuing line between whites and blacks by defining all individuals with one-eighth or more African blood as persons of color, subject to special provisions in the law.…

    If acceptance is achieved through similarity, then is the road to acceptance worth getting lost on; is acceptance worth losing ourselves? A person’s individuality is what makes them who they are, but what about those who aren’t happy with who they are? If a transition between permanent happiness and cheap bursts of it exists, then what compels people to sacrifice their identity for the identity of someone, or something they’re not? Amy Tan’s essay “Fish Cheeks” explains the difficulty of deciphering where the determinant lies between fitting in and forgetting who we are. The main question is: “Is fitting in worth it?”…

    Controls systems for nuclear reactor power plants ensure that the nuclear reaction remains within safe limits. The control system involves the mechanical systems and the procedures necessary for maintaining the heat generated by the nuclear reaction at appropriate levels. The control system is also critical for shutting down the reaction for maintenance and refueling and in the event of an emergency such as a rupture in a cooling pipe. Because of the significant damage that a nuclear reactor accident or incident can cause, the control system used in the power plant is important for the safety of workers and the population living near the power plant.…

    There has been a growing awareness about concussion injury in sport, particularly in the last decade. Ten years ago, it was estimated that upwards of “…300 000 sport-related concussions occur[ed] annually in the United States and account[ed] for 75% of all sport-related brain injuries” (Bloom et al., 2008, p.295). Given the more educated understanding of concussion injury and its symptoms, coupled with the significant increase in international sport participation, this number is significantly larger today. With a better understanding of the potential negative performance and health consequences of this type of injury, researchers are focusing their efforts on fast-paced sports involving high-speed collisions (Dick, 2009).…
