Despite indicators-based assessment models for flood vulnerability being a well-established methodology, specific set of indicators that are universally or widely accepted has not been recognized yet. This work aims to review previous studies in the field analysis order overcome this knowledge gap identifying most sub-indicators exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Moreover, clarify use terms risk assessment. Throughout three-phase process, matrix containing all encountered during...
Floods have recently become a major hazard in West Africa (WA) terms of both their magnitude and frequency. They affect livelihoods, infrastructure production systems, hence impacting on Sustainable Development (SD). Early Warning Systems (EWS) for floods that properly address all four EWS components, while also being community impact-based, do not yet exist WA. Existing systems only the main rivers, are conceived top-down manner hazard-centered. This study Sirba river Niger aims to...
ABSTRACT In the context of water resources planning, this work defined a possible approach to quantify minimum environmental flows (e‐flows) at regional scale. Focusing on catchments smaller than 50 km 2 , problem was addressed through mesoscale habitat models and catchment classification technique (regression tree algorithm). Within Piedmont region in NW Italy, 25 reference streams were chosen basis natural condition flow regime fish community. Mesohabitats sampled for hydromorphic...
In the last decades, Sahelian area was hit by an increase of flood events, both in frequency and magnitude. order to prevent damages, early warning system (EWS) has been planned for Sirba River, major tributary Middle Niger River Basin. The EWS uses prior notification Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) realize adaptive measures exposed villages. This study analyzed performances GloFAS 1.0 2.0 at Garbey Kourou. model verification performed using continuous categorical indices computed...
Strontium-based modifier alloys are commonly adopted to modify the eutectic silicon in aluminum-silicon casting by changing shape from an acicular a spherical form. Usually, alloy necessary properly change depends on content, but alloying elements’ content may have influence. The AlSr10 master alloy’s modifying effect was studied four Al-Si through characterization of microstructural and mechanical properties (micro-hardness impact tests). experimental results obtained gravity cast samples...
Niamey, the capital of Niger, is particularly prone to floods, since it on banks Niger River, which in its middle basin has two flood peaks: one summer (the red flood) and winter black flood). In 2020, River Niamey reached all-time highest levels following an abundant rainy season. On other hand, floods have been frequent last decade, a symptom change hydroclimatic behaviour already observed end great droughts 1970s 1980s identified with name Sahelian Paradox. This study, starting from...
In Sahelian countries, a vast number of people are still affected every year by flood despite the efforts to prevent or mitigate these catastrophic events. This phenomenon is exacerbated incessant population growth and increase extreme natural Hence, development management strategies such as hazard mapping Early Warning Systems has become crucial objective for nations. study presents comprehensive assessment Nigerien reach Sirba River, main tributary Middle Niger River. Hazard thresholds...
The sub-Saharan climate is experiencing a marked increase in temperature and intensification of precipitation intensity variability. Besides, longer dry spells are compromising the reliability local agricultural practices. present study provides comprehensive investigation about benefits induced by using indigenous rainwater harvesting techniques (RWHT) against hydrometeorological threats affecting Sahelian areas. Different RWHT have been tested term runoff retention, infiltration into root...
