Subject field(s)
  • System Names
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Climate Change
OBS

In 1990 a research project was funded by the Commission of the European Communities, within the frame of the funding programme EPOCH with the aim of evaluating the possibility of such integration. The project, which title was "A Comprehensive Forecasting System for Flood Risk Mitigation and Control"(AFORISM)(Todini, 1995c) aimed at verifying different approaches in rainfall modelling as well as in rainfall-runoff modelling and their integration in a decision support system both for planning and for real time flood forecasting and management. In order to do so a feasibility study, based upon the Reno river, aiming at integrating all the innovative technologies in an operational decision support tool for flood forecasting and flood impact analysis was carried out by the following research groups.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Biological Sciences
CONT

Quatitative sampling of the fish fauna at each of these sites was conducted quarterly over this 2%-yr period. In general, fish habitats in the flood mitigation drains, and especially those above flood gates, had more intensive surrounding land uses, less natural native fringing vegetation and, overall, were more highly disturbed than those in the natural tributaries.(Dialog Data Base).

OBS

Fringing: close to and along the land.

The effects of flood mitigation structures on the quality of estuarine and fish habitats freshwater in the lower Clarence River system of south-eastern Australia were investigated. Surrounding land use, fringing vegetation, overall level of habitat disturbance, distance from the sea, salinity, and water temperature were examined and compared between four sites on natural tributary streams...(Dialog Data Base).
