Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

40
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Effect of Sea Water on Concrete01:22

Effect of Sea Water on Concrete

172
Concrete exposed to seawater can undergo degradation like the dissolution of ettringite and gypsum, increasing the material's porosity and decreasing its strength. In contrast, the crystallization of salts within the concrete's pores can cause expansion, particularly above the waterline where evaporation occurs. Nonetheless, this expansion only happens when seawater, enabled by the concrete's permeability, manages to infiltrate the structure.

Quality of Water01:19

Quality of Water

87
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Testing Water Quality01:14

Testing Water Quality

103
When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

25.1K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Climate Change Adaptation
  • Coastal Management

Background:

  • Sea-level rise (SLR) poses increasing risks to coastal communities, necessitating adaptation strategies.
  • Existing research addresses SLR impacts and adaptation but lacks focus on practitioners' specific needs for translating science into action.
  • Effective coastal adaptation requires a strong dialogue and collaboration between scientists and local practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To qualitatively assess the needs of local and regional practitioners in translating sea-level rise science into actionable coastal adaptation.
  • To identify the tools, challenges, and decision-making contexts of practitioners facing SLR impacts.
  • To inform the development of resources and strategies that bridge the gap between scientific research and practical implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews and surveys.
  • Collected data from 142 practitioners across 24 states, Puerto Rico, the Mariana Islands, and Barbados.
  • Interviews explored practitioner needs, tools, challenges, and decision contexts; surveys ranked intervention impacts.

Main Results:

  • Funding and resources are the primary barriers to coastal adaptation planning.
  • Practitioners require more localized SLR information, on-the-ground monitoring, and scenario-comparison decision support tools.
  • Effective communication tools are needed for practitioners to engage diverse audiences.

Conclusions:

  • Building trusted relationships between scientists and practitioners is crucial for effective SLR adaptation.
  • Organizations that can bridge the gap between scientific research and local implementation need strengthening.
  • Tailored, localized information and decision-support systems are essential for enhancing adaptive capacity.
