In this paper the relationship between the morphometric parameters of a drainage system and the neotectonic activity is investigated. The hydrographie network of the Upper Acheloos River was chosen as the study area. The whole network and especially its western-southwestern part appears to be in the rejuvenated stage of evolution, as it is concluded by the analysis of the parameters, associated with the shape and slope of the basins, and the slope of the respective streams. Furthermore, the shape of the drainage network and the structure of the basins suggest that not only the Alpine orogenesis but also the neotectonic activity controls the morphogenetic processes in the area

The Malakasiotiko stream is one of the tributaries of Pinios River in Western Thessaly. The drainage basin of Malakasiotiko stream is located in the northwestern part of the mountainous zone of Trikala Prefecture. In this paper, the drainage network of Malakasiotiko stream has been analyzed. Additionally, the relationship among the tectonism, the growth directions of the watershed lines, and the drainage network. The quantitative analysis of the drainage network has resulted that the geological and tectonic structure of the area affected, and potentially has been affecting its development. The morphotectonic analysis has shown that the watershed lines of the drainage basin and the streams of 1st to 4th order are influenced by alpine structure, whereas the 5th, 6th and the 7th order streams are influenced by neotectonic activity.

Combined measurements of meltwater discharge from the portal and of water level in a borehole drilled to the bed of Findelengletscher, Switzerland, were obtained during the later part of the 1993 ablation season. A severe storm, lasting from 22 through 24 September, produced at least 130 mm of precipitation over the glacier, largely as rain. The combined hydrological records indicate periods during which the basal drainage system became constricted and water storage in the glacier increased, as well as phases of channel growth. During the storm, water pressure generally increased as water backed up in the drainage network. Abrupt, temporary falls in borehole water level were accompanied by pulses in portal discharge. On 24 September, whilst borehole water level continued to rise, water started to escape under pressure with a resultant increase in discharge. As the drainage network expanded, a large amount of debris was flushed from a wide area of the bed. Progressive growth in channel capacity as discharge increased enabled stored water to drain and borehole water level to fall rapidly. Possible relationships between observed borehole water levels and water pressures in subglacial channels are influenced by hydraulic conditions at the base of the hole, distance between the hole and a channel, and the nature of the substrate.

An approach about territorial control and mobility in Sierra Harana (Granada, Spain) during Late Prehistory is presented in this paper, according to rock shelters with schematic rock art distribution. Different aspects have been analysed by using tools provided by Geographic Information Systems (GIS): the relationship between rock shelters and hydrographic network and water springs, and, mainly, their visual control. The association between rock shelters with schematic rock art and burial caves use during the Neolithic period is observed in the study area. A strong link between rock shelters and traditional pathways is also attested. These facts can be read as a way to mark symbolically certain routes that could be aimed to short transhumance practice.

Aimed at the feature of expressway subgrade drainage facilities in typical red sandstone areas in Jiangxi province and based on the importance of the structure, damage conditions, service requirements and the current specification requirements related to various types of ditches, the designed repetition period of rainfall and proposed safety depth values for drainage facilities were put forward by considering reasonably the key design parameters to regional drainage facilities. The relationship between prerequisite of discharging sediment in ditches or conduits and minimum longitudinal gradient was discussed. Combined with the characteristics of red sandstone subgrade drainage with high requirements, the design elements of red sandstone area expressway subgrade drainage system were obtained, which can provide beneficial references for the subgrade drainage design in red sandstone areas.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a study of compensatory alternatives in urban drainage, using SWMM model (Storm Water Management Model), for the critical point of flooding in an urban area and vulnerable to tide fluctuations, located in Recife. For this, we used the registered information of the micro-drainage network and defined the parameters and variables required for modeling, such as: the subareas of contribution to the drainage system, indicating the percentage of soil waterproofing, equivalent width, slope, and infiltration rate; project rain; and tide curve. Two alternatives were simulated after the model has been calibrated. The first, which is an adaptation of the drainage network, presented maximum reductions in the volume of flooding of 37% for the events with recurrence period of two years and of 58% for five years of recurrence. The second, based on the deployment of a detention tank in the existing network, presented satisfactory results for the event of two years and reduced approximately 38% for events of five years. The results showed that there was a reduction in the area of flooding for the conditions simulated. However, the first alternative would not solve the local flooding problems, it would only attenuate and would increase the overload of the drainage pipes downstream of the modified system, while the second alternative could solve the problem of flooding, with the occurrence of an event of two years.

Mostly populous city like Chennai is subjected to frequent flooding due to its complex nature of natural and man-made activities. From the analysis of the past records of flood events of 1943,1976,1985,2005 and 2008,it has been observed Adayar watershed is subjected to cataclysmic flooding in low-lying areas of the city and its suburbs because of inoperativeness of the local drainage system, rainfall associated with cyclonic activity, topography of the terrain, encroachments along the floodplain, hugh upstream flow discharge into the river and the highly impervious area which blocked the runoff to flow into the storm water drainage. After looking into these problems of flooding, a study have been conducted on Adayar watershed to develop a 2D hydrodynamic model for the two scenarios of existing condition of storm water drainage network and revised conditions of storm water drainage network using high resolution Lidar DEM to assess the volume of runoff with respect to time and duration on flood peaks for the two flood events of 2005 and 2015.Secondly to develop a 1D flood model to predict the river stages during peak floods using MIKE 11 for the Adayar watershed. Thirdly to integrate the coupled 1D and 2D model using MIKEFLOOD for assessing the extent of inundation in the floodplain area of Adayar river. Finally results from the integrated model have been validated and the results found satisfactory. As a part of mitigation measures, two flood mitigation measures have been adopted. One measure such as revised storm water drainage system which enhances the flood carrying capacity of the drains and results in less inundated area which solves the problem of urban flooding and second measure such as regrading the river bed which reduces the floodplain inundation around the adjacent area of the river. After adopting these measures, the river is free to flow into the sea without any blockades.
