The site selection for Low Impact Development (LID) practices is a significant process. It affects the effectiveness of LID in controlling stormwater surface runoff, volume, flow rate, and infiltration. This research paper presents comprehensive review various methods used selection. starts by introducing different tools. Three main methods: index-based methods, GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), models tools, are discussed detail. A comparative these then conducted based on...

One of the most common types natural disaster, floods can happen anywhere on Earth, except in polar regions. The severity damage caused by flooding be reduced putting proper management and protocols into place. Using remote sensing a geospatial methodology, this study attempts to identify flood-vulnerable areas central district Duhok, Iraq. analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique was used give relative weights 12 contributing parameters, including elevation, slope, distance from river,...

Rainfall Intensity–Duration–Frequency (IDF) relationships are widely used in water infrastructure design and construction. IDF curves represent the relationship between rainfall intensity, duration, frequency, obtained by analyzing observed data. These critical for safe of flood protection structures, storm sewers, culverts, bridges, etc. In this study, empirical formulas city Erbil were developed first time employing annual maximum data a period 39 years (1980–2018), which is only available...

Abstract: As urban populations grow and cities expand develop, the likelihood of natural disasters, such as floods, increases accordingly. Urban centers residential areas are highly susceptible to flooding. Flooding poses significant risks areas, especially in regions vulnerable climate change, where developing countries disproportionately affected. In Erbil, rapid expansion development, particularly following 2004 liberation by coalition forces, have resulted extensive conversion...

The assessment and mapping of riverine flood hazards risks is recognized by many countries as an important tool for characterizing floods developing management plans. Often, however, these plans give attention primarily to open-water floods, with ice-jam being mostly afterthought once have been drafted. In some Nordic regions, can be more severe than floodwater levels often exceeding the same return periods. Hence, it imperative that flooding due river ice processes considered in This also...

Coastal lagoons are inland and shallow water bodies, separated from the ocean by a barrier. In cold regions, ice phenomena in coastal occur every winter season. Ice is predominantly formed on surface due to density stratification cooling. The dynamics such areas dominantly affected winds. Water also cause movement, but large areal scale of lagoons, effect usually limited direct vicinity river estuaries. For open which connected sea straits, tides will significant movement inside lagoon. Due...
