An Analysis of Current Trends and Potential Applications of Sociohydrology
(2017-12-13)Humans live in an ever-changing, increasingly-complicated world. As the fundamental understanding of systems changes, those tasked with managing these may find themselves faced with new situations with problems more complex ... -
Characterizing Recreational Exposure to Contaminants in Houston, Texas Parks after Hurricane Harvey
(2019-07-22)In Houston, flooding is controlled in part by a system of creeks and bayous that include a network of recreation areas, such as parks, trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The effects of flooding can have devastating ... -
Flooding Experiments with Steam and Water in a Large Diameter Vertical Tube
(2010-10-12)An experimental study on flooding with steam and water in a large diameter vertical tube was conducted. This research has been performed to provide a better prediction of flooding in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) ... -
Future Flooding in Houston: Modeling the Impacts of Climate and Land Cover Change on Hydrology in the Buffalo-San Jacinto Watershed
(2013-02-04)Understanding the hydrology of a watershed is essential for both water resource management and public safety, especially flood prevention and mitigation. Both climate change and urbanization have been shown to increase ... -
The long-term development of a watershed: spatial patterns, streamflow, and sustainability
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This study examines the relationship between the developing landscape and the water flowing through it. The study area was an 86 sq. mi. watershed located in the coastal plains in Harris County, Texas. Daily streamflow ... -
A Mechanistic Model for Flooding in Vertical Tubes
(2010-10-12)In a counter-current two-phase flow system, flooding can be defined as the onset of flow reversal of the liquid component which results in an upward co-current flow. Flooding in the surge line of pressurized water reactors ... -
Urban Patterns and Flood Damage in Texas Coastal Watersheds
(2016-06-17)This study develops a framework to conceptualize and measure multiple urban patterns and examines their relationship with flood damage in Texas coastal watersheds. Development and flood damage impacts are analyzed over a ...
