Name: Lee An Qi Class: 3H/7 Date: 2 June 2012 Urbanization is the process that leads to an increase in the number and proportion of people living in urban settlements such as cities or towns. It also refers to the increase in the size of land area occupied by urban settlements. To cope with urbanization within a drainage basin‚ urban development and deforestation are carried out‚ which affect flows to and within a river channel. Other factors like drainage density‚ climate‚ area of drainage

FLOOD A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry.[1] The European Union (EU) Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water"‚ the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies‚ such as a river or lake‚ in which the water overtops or breaks levees‚ resulting in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries‚[3] or it may

Waves‚ Currents‚ and Tides By Ben Houghton 1/28/09 My paper will focus on waves‚ currents‚ and tides. Our coast is affected greatly by these three things. My paper will explain how the waves‚ currents‚ and tides affect the people and environment of the coastal plain. Waves are a very powerful part of nature. They come in all sizes and they can be shaped many different ways. There are many parts to a wave. There is the crest‚ which is the highest point of the wave. The trough is the lowest point

Journal of Spatial Hydrology Spring Vol. 5‚ No. 1 Spatial Analysis of Urban Stormwater Quality M. Ghafouri1 and C.E. Swain Abstract Urban stormwater non-point source pollutants are recognized as a major cause of receiving waters quality deterioration. To date most research has focused on specifying temporal variations of stormwater quality parameters which includes high uncertainties and also increases the risk of pollution control structures failure. Traditionally‚ the temporal variations of quality

CGE526 – PETROLEUM GEOLOGY Geology Geology is basically the science which is related to the study of the origin of the Earth including the history and its life‚ the materials that made it up‚ the structure of the materials and the processes acted upon them. It also deals with the study of the organisms that have inhabited the planet and the structure of a specific region of the Earth involving the rocks‚ soils‚ mountains‚ fossils and other features. The word geology was first known used in
