Dams and Reservoirs under Changing Challenges
ISBN: 9780415682671 / Angielski / Twarda / 906 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past, boundary conditions in the building of dams have changed, as technological developments have been influential on dam planning, construction, operation and maintenance processes. It is ICOLD's mission to not only consider these developments but also adequately deal with environmental aspects and related infrastructure issues. Altered water cycles, more extreme weather conditions and an increasing number of natural hazards clearly affect the safe and economical operation of dams and reservoirs. Moreover, emission-free hydropower production as the most important form of "liquid"...

The Technical Avalanche Protection Handbook
ISBN: 9783433030349 / Angielski / Miękka / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Snow avalanches can have highly destructive consequences in developed areas. Each year, avalanche catastrophes occur in mountain regions around the globe and cause unnecessary fatalities and severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. In some mountainous regions, especially in the European Alps, technical avalanche defence structures are built to increase the level of safety for inhabited areas; however, new infrastructure such as roads, railway lines and tourist facilities cause new risk potential in hazardous areas. As a result, the demand is increasing for technical avalanche protection...

Stormwater: A Resource for Scientists, Engineers, and Policy Makers
ISBN: 9780226365008 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As cities grow and climates change, precipitation increases, and with every great storm--from record-breaking Boston blizzards to floods in Houston--come buckets of stormwater and a deluge of problems. In Stormwater, William G. Wilson brings us the first expansive guide to stormwater science and management in urban environments, where rising runoff threatens both human and environmental health. As Wilson shows, rivers of runoff flowing from manmade surfaces--such as roads, sidewalks, and industrial sites--carry a glut of sediments and pollutants. Unlike soil, pavement does not...

Improving Flood Prediction Assimilating Uncertain Crowdsourced Data Into Hydrological and Hydraulic Models
ISBN: 9781138035904 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, the continued technological advances have led to the spread of low-cost sensors and devices supporting crowdsourcing as a way to obtain observations of hydrological variables in a more distributed way than the classic static physical sensors. The main advantage of using these type of sensors is that they can be used not only by technicians but also by regular citizens. However, due to their relatively low reliability and varying accuracy in time and space, crowdsourced observations have not been widely integrated in hydrological and/or hydraulic models for flood...
