Abstract Analysis of water management in the pit lake is divided into two conditions, namely Continuous Events and Extreme Events. The former is an analysis of pit lake management related to the water filling in a pit lake that takes place continuously. Meanwhile, the later is the analysis of pit lake management related to the possibility of extreme conditions that will occur, including extreme rainfall. This study is focused only on the Extreme Event conditions. The Gumbel method is used to calculate the planned return period rainfall T concerning the prediction of extreme rainfall. Meanwhile, for a certain return period, rainfall intensity can be predicted using the Mononobe formula. Based on the result of calculation the Gumbel method, it shows that the planned rainfall for a return period of 10 years is 132.9 mm / day. Then based on the results of the calculation of rainfall intensity using the Mononobe formula, it is obtained that the intensity of rainfall for a return period of 10 years with a concentration-time of 5 minutes is 241.5 mm/hour, while the amount of rainfall intensity with a concentration-time of 300 minutes or 5 hours is 15.8 mm/hour.

Flooding has been a problem for the past few decades in Jakarta. The flooding in early January 2020 was one of the worst floods since 2013. One of the most severely affected areas was Kelapa Gading. To find a solution, infiltration wells are used. Infiltration well is a simple conservation in the form of a container that is built in the soil that functions to accommodate, hold and absorb surface water into the soil to increase the amount and position of the ground water level. The analysis begins by calculating the rainfall intensity from the January 2020 rainfall data, proceeding with the calculation of rainwater discharge with USSCS rational method, and calculation of the volume of water entering and not entering the drainage channel. This analysis focuses on flood water levels due to extreme rainfall, to then design infiltration wells. Analysis using the program is done after getting the results of manual calculations. The results of this analysis conclude that millions of infiltration wells are needed to absorb entire volume of flood water. This is due to the shallow groundwater and extreme conditions of rainfall.  Banjir sudah menjadi masalah selama beberapa dekade terakhir di Jakarta. Banjir pada awal Januari 2020 adalah salah satu banjir terparah sejak tahun 2013. Salah satu daerah yang paling terdampak adalah Kelapa Gading. Untuk mencari solusi banjir, digunakan sumur resapan. Sumur resapan adalah konservasi sederhana berupa wadah yang dibangun ke dalam tanah yang berfungsi menampung, menahan dan meresapkan air ke dalam tanah untuk meningkatkan muka air tanah. Analisis dimulai dengan menghitung intensitas hujan dari data curah hujan Januari 2020, lalu dilanjutkan dengan perhitungan debit air hujan dengan metode rasional USSCS, dan perhitungan volume air yang masuk dan tidak masuk ke saluran drainase. Analisis ini berfokus pada ketinggian air banjir akibat curah hujan yang ekstrim, untuk kemudian mendesain sumur resapan. Analisis menggunakan program dilakukan setelah mendapatkan hasil dari perhitungan manual. Hasil analisis ini menyimpulkan bahwa dibutuhkan jutaan sumur resapan untuk menyerap seluruh volume air banjir. Hal ini dikarenakan kondisi muka air tanah yang dangkal dan tingginya curah hujan.

Extreme rainfall is the main influencing factor of urban waterlogging. Different types of rainfall often have different characteristics of waterlogging. In order to establish a more accurate urban flood control system, it is necessary to classify waterlogging rainstorms and divide their thresholds. This study proposes a method for applying web crawlers to identify waterlogging rainfall in cities lacking waterlogging observation data and classifying them using the rainfall intensity–duration curves. By selecting appropriate duration thresholds and return period, waterlogging rainstorms are divided into rainfall intensity waterlogging (IW), rainfall amount of waterlogging (AW), combined waterlogging (CW) and no waterlogging (NW). In the application of Zhengzhou City, China, the urban flood control standard and the rainfall time distribution characteristics are used as the basis for the selection of the return period and duration thresholds, and the storm water management model (SWMM) is constructed to simulate the 4 kinds of rainfall characteristics of waterlogging, which is similar to actual situations. It proves that the method is suitable for the classification and thresholds division of different waterlogging rainfall in cities. The results show that the best duration thresholds in Zhengzhou are 20 min (M20) and 60 min (M60), and the best return period standard is 2 a. The thresholds for the 4 types of waterlogging rainstorm are: M20 ≥ 26.47 mm, M60 ≥ 43.80 mm, CW; M20 ≥ 26.47 mm, M60 < 43.80 mm, IW; M20 < 26.47 mm, M60 ≥ 43.80 mm, AW; M20 < 26.47 mm and M60 < 43.80 mm, No waterlogging.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has planned future flood control for a rainfall intensity of 100 mm/hr, which corresponds to a return period of 70 years, and a runoff coefficient of 0.8. Considering that the realization of this plan requires a long construction period and high construction costs, the decision was made to proceed by stages. In the first stage, the improvement of the facilities will be based on a rainfall intensity of 75 mm/hr (presently 50 mm/hr), corresponding to a return period of 17 years, and a runoff coefficient of 0.8. In the next stage the facilities will be improved to accommodate a rainfall intensity of 100 mm/hr. In the Nakano and Suginami regions, which suffer frequently from flooding, the plan of improvement based on a rainfall intensity of 75 mm/hr is being implemented before other areas. This facility will be used as a storage sewer for the time being. The Wada-Yayoi Trunk Sewer, as a project of this plan, will have a diameter of 8 m and a 50 m earth cover. This trunk sewer will be constructed considering several constraints. To resolve these problems, hydraulic experiments as well as an inventory study have been carried out. A large drop shaft for the trunk sewer is under construction.

Анализ официальных источников информации показывает, что распределение экстремальных дождей по территории происходит с учетом микроклиматических особенностей ее местности. Для оценки степени достоверности таких закономерностей в пределах мегаполисов проведены экспериментальные исследования, в которых в качестве экспериментальной базы принята система водоотведения Санкт-Петербурга, в качестве средств измерения – сеть из 34 автоматических осадкомеров, осуществляющих записи с интервалом 5 минут, в качестве экспериментальной информации – база данных результатов измерений в течение шести лет. В результате исследований установлено, что в городской среде формируется микроклимат, отличающийся от климата за ее пределами. Кроме того, в масштабах мегаполисов имеются микроклиматические зоны, в которых зависимости интенсивностей осадков от их повторяемости могут существенно отличаться. При этом отличия начинают проявляться при периодах р однократного превышения расчетной интенсивности дождей от 1,5–2 лет, а при их меньших значениях отличия не выявлены. Полученный результат согласуется с данными исследований других авторов, экспериментально установивших, что количество экстремальных дождей увеличивается в тех районах мегаполисов, как правило, исторических,в которых меньше зеленых насаждений и, соответственно, более высокая степень перегрева поверхности в летнее время. The analysis of official data resources shows that the distribution of extreme rainfall over the territory is carried out with account of the microclimatic features of the area. To estimate the degree of reliability of such patterns within megalopolises, experimental studies were carried out, where the wastewater disposal system of St. Petersburg was assumed as an experimental base; a network of 34 automatic rain gauges recording with an interval of 5 minutes was assumed as a measuring instrument, and a base was used as experimental information, i. e., a measurement data base for six years. As a result of the research, it has been established that a microclimate is formed in the urban environment that differs from the climate outside it. Besides, on a megacity scale, there are microclimatic zones where the dependences of precipitation intensities on their frequency can differ significantly. In this case, the differences begin to manifest at periods p of one-time excess of the calculated rainfall intensity from 1.5–2 years, whereas at lower values, no differences have been found. The result obtained is consistent with the research data obtained by other authors, who experimentally established that the amount of extreme rainfall increased in those areas of megacities, as a rule, historical ones, where fewer green spaces are located, and, accordingly, a higher degree of surface overheating in summer is recorded.

The study qualitatively explores the pandemic and Sarajevo War-Siege from the psychological, sociological, and political security perspectives. As a direct indicator of behavioral variability within extreme conditions, the author refers to structural interviews with war-siege participants. The citizens can recognize the 1990s in some manifestations of the pandemic, including crisis staff formation that reflects ethnopolitics (ethnic-political boundaries) rather than instills public confidence. Life in the conditions of radical changes leaves a trace that does not have to be exclusively emotional but cognitive. The state of war-siege meant deconstructing the pre-war way of life and new ways of coping with war conditions. Maintaining routines is a link to pre-war life; continuity of norms and values allows for mental stability maintenance. During the siege, people had an acute perception of space and time. Space was something where the danger came from and the time spent in that space needed to be reduced. We have similar functions during the pandemic, reflecting on people's thoughts. Those who have adequately gone through the trauma that lasted during the siege have adapted well to "extreme" conditions and can develop protective mechanisms. Human thought focuses on the repetitive and familiar in today's world, while some extreme event interprets as the exception; such exceptional events are crucial in creating the future. Regardless of the political system's axis, confidence in the political elites must be sufficient. Prevention of fear and panic in the war's geographical area should be based on quality peacetime preparation through education and psychological commitment.

<p>In 2011, Waimarama received 80% of its annual rainfall in 48 hours. This extreme event with a return period of >100 years caused saturated hillslopes to collapse forming 100s of shallow landslides in the Puhokio Valley. This study collected soil samples from 54 exposed slip scarp horizons for laboratory analysis of soil mechanical properties. Field measurements of slip and slope angles, length, width and depth to determine that 23,212m³ of sediment was volume lost, from the 54 landslides. The field and lab measurements were used to generate a coherent understanding of landsliding at Waimarama. Laboratory analysis for liquid limits water content showed a high of 88.5% to a low of 18.8% and plastic limit water content had a high of 51% in the A horizon (organics) and low of 16.1%. Specific gravity also indicated a high reading 1.74 g/cm³ with a low of 1.16 g/cm³. The A horizon was able to tolerate high levels of water content in most tests, while the B horizon was capable of coping with some increase in water content. The C horizon was only able to handle low volumes of water, and was the main initiator of regolith collapse. The laboratory results indicated high saturation levels within the horizons of weak lithology of marine regolith that over caps impervious marine bedrock. The main cause for hillslope collapse and exposure of multiple translational and debris flow landslides was extreme saturation. However, towards the height of the rainfall event a 4.5 magnitude earthquake was recorded with unknown collateral consequences. Most slip locations were found in the aspects of east, south-east, west, and north-west, and on slope angles 15 -25°. The study confirmed previous surveys that regolith depth 80-100cm on impervious sandstone, siltstone/mudstone, when saturated over lengthy wet spells or from extreme precipitation, will collapse. In addition to the physical geographic study a survey was included to record individual and family accounts of the weather phenomenon. A questionnaire was prepared with specific questions that required yes or no answers. These questions dealt with loss of buildings, loss of land, animals, financial loss and recovery, economic loss, insurance and mitigation plans. The most affected were farmers and the next affected were householders while the holiday park was the worst affected of small businesses. Insurance was a significant help in most recoveries. Land rehabilitation was mitigated with new plantings and some aerial sowing, otherwise many slips were left to revegetate naturally. Economic and financial loss was severe for most farmers, due to pasture loss and animal relocation. Extreme rainfall causes slips that affect humans, but they can be mitigated. The Waimarama event is one of many events that can happen countrywide, the results can be a disastrous loss of personal, economic and financial assets, loss of infrastructure, including roading, bridges and communication. These are factors that many people and communities only realise when it happens to them. Mitigation against such events might include adequate insurance and knowledge of what to do, and where to go should an event happen unexpectedly and without warning.</p>

The Aceh Tamiang office area is one of the office areas in Kuala Simpang which consists of various offices in the Aceh Tamiang area. The purpose of this research is to identify the drainage condition of the existing primary drainage channel which accommodates runoff discharge, the shape and direction of the flow in the inundation channel in the Aceh Tamiang Kuala Simpang office area, which is expected to help solve the problem of flooding in the 832 m3 / second. And for the channel capacity in this primary drainage drainage of 0.829 m3 / sec, the value is smaller than the planned flood discharge (Qr). Rainfall intensity (I) of 126,432 mm / hour. The plan flood discharge (Qr) for a 5-year return period yields 2,551 m3 / second and the value for channel discharge capacity (Qs) is obtained from the calculation of 2,216 m3 / second. This value is smaller than the value of the planned flood discharge.area. From the results of research conducted by the Aceh Tamiang Kuala Simpang office area is a location with a fairly high degree of rainfall, with a rainfall intensity (I) of 126,432 mm / hour and a flood discharge plan for a 5-year return period obtained a result of 0.

Abstract Flood frequency analysis could be a tool to help decision-makers to size hydraulic structures. To this end, this article aims to compare two analysis methods to see how rare an extreme hydrometeorological event is, and what could be its return period. This event caused many deadly floods in southwestern Morocco. It was the result of unusual atmospheric conditions, characterized by a very low atmospheric pressure off the Moroccan coast and the passage of the jet stream further south. Assessment of frequency and return period of this extreme event is performed in a High Atlas watershed (the Ghdat Wadi) using historical floods. We took into account, on the one hand, flood peak flows and, on the other hand, flood water volumes. Statistically, both parameters are better adjusted respectively to Gamma and Log Normal distributions. However, the peak flow approach underestimates the return period of long-duration hydrographs that do not have a high peak flow, like the 2014 event. The latter is indeed better evaluated, as a rare event, by taking into account the flood water volumes. Therefore, this parameter should not be omitted in the calculation of flood probabilities for watershed management and the sizing of flood protection infrastructure.
