In recent years, the concept of resilience has been introduced to engineering field in particular related disaster mitigation and management. However, built environment is only part elements that support community functions. Maintaining functionality during after a disaster, defined as resilience, influenced by multiple components. The paper proposing framework for measuring at different spatial temporal scales. Seven dimensions are identified resilience: population demographics,...
Abstract Practical decision making in spatially distributed environmental assessment and management is increasingly based on process models linked to geographical information systems. Powerful personal computers Internet‐accessible tools are providing much greater public access to, use of, geo‐spatial data. However traditional models, such as the water erosion prediction project (WEPP), were not typically developed with a flexible graphical user interface (GUI) for applications across wide...
The increased frequency of natural disasters and man-made catastrophes has caused major disruptions to critical infrastructures (CI) such as water distribution networks (WDNs). Therefore, reducing the vulnerability systems through physical organizational restoration plans are main concern for system engineers utility managers that responsible design, operation, protection WDNs. In this paper, a resilience index (R) WDN been proposed is product three indices: (1) number users temporarily...
Land degradation due to soil erosion is a serious threat the highlands of Ethiopia. Various and water conservation (SWC) strategies have been in use tackle erosion. However, effectiveness SWC measures on runoff dynamics sediment load terms their medium- short-term effects has not sufficiently studied. A study was conducted 2011 2015 Gumara-Maksegnit watershed impacts structures processes using analysis tool (SWAT) model. The two adjacent watersheds where one watersheds, were constructed...
Abstract. The effects of soil management on losses from olive plantations in southern Spain were evaluated using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), a review published experiments, and preliminary results an on‐going field trial. Experimental data used to parameterize RUSLE for orchards under various regimes. predictions agreed qualitatively with available, model provided simple way assess erosion. Our showed that no‐tillage caused greatest loss, while cover crops least....
<abstract> Abstract. At the hillslope profile and/or field scale, a simple Windows graphical user interface (GUI) is available to easily specify slope, soil, and management inputs for application of USDA Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model. Likewise, basic small watershed configurations few hillslopes channels can be created simulated with this GUI. However, as catchment size increases, complexity developing organizing all WEPP model greatly increases due multitude potential...
Immediately following the 12 January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, a disaster response team from Rochester Institute of Technology, ImageCat Inc., and Kucera International, funded by Global Facility for Disaster Reduction Recovery group World Bank, collected 0.15 m airborne imagery two points/m2 lidar data 650 km2 over period seven days. Data were transferred to Rochester, New York processing at rates that approached 400 Mb/s using Internet2, ortho-rectified with 24-hour turnaround, distributed...
AbstractThe Sensor Web provides wider access to sensors and their observations via the Web. A key challenge is infer information about geographic events from these observations. systematic approach representation of domain knowledge vital when reasoning due heterogeneous observational sources. This article delivers a formal model capturing relations between events. The exploited with rule-based mechanism in-situ also describes how model's vocabularies are used formulate spatiotemporal...
Lake Erie has a long and storied history with water quality impairment conservation. Following the passing of Clean Water Act in 1970s, total phosphorus (P) loading to lake substantially decreased through permitting point sources conservation efforts decrease sediment loss from agricultural fields. While P losses have remained relatively stable since 1990s, dissolved increased resulted increases extent severity algal blooms over past two decades (Smith et al. 2015b). Both industry...
Soil erosion modeling and assessment requires substantial accurate topographic data to obtain meaningfulresults for decisionmaking regarding soil water conservation practices. Todays precision farming equipment includesGlobal Positioning System (GPS) technology determine the location of spatially distributed data. Besides main purposeof tagging sitespecific information a unique (x y), elevation (z) recorded has potential be usedfor analysis, including delineation flowpaths, channels,...
