1) Debris flows occur when high intensity rainfall generates abundant runoff that entrains large quantities of debris material in steep mountain channels, forming solid-liquid flows.
2) Debris flows can damage infrastructure and be deadly, as evidenced by photographs of destroyed villages, flooded roads, and debris deposits from past events.
3) Mitigation is needed because debris flows result from three processes - runoff generation, entrainment of debris, and downstream routing of the solid-liquid mass.
The document discusses debris flow deposition and effects. It notes that as a debris flow's velocity decreases due to a declining slope, solid particles will begin to deposit. The deposition rate and runout area depend on flow velocity - higher velocities result in larger runout areas. Where debris flows reach flat areas or channels, large deposition fans can form. Examples show debris flows destroying structures in their path and burying infrastructure like roads.
A debris flow occurs when high intensity rainfall rapidly produces runoff that entrains debris material in channels. This forms a solid-liquid wave that increases in velocity as it erodes sediment while flowing downstream. Eventually the debris flow slows and deposition begins. Accurately simulating debris flows requires models for rainfall-runoff hydrology, debris flow triggering, and downstream hydraulic routing that reproduce physical processes and are validated against measurements of past events. The reliability of simulation results depends on models' abilities to replicate measured quantities like discharge, erosion depths, deposition depths, maximum levels, and routing times.
Debris flows are an unpredictable natural phenomenon that can occur suddenly in both time and space. In time, rainfall forecasting in mountainous areas cannot precisely determine where or when debris flows will occur due to the small time and space scales of storm cells. In space, debris flows may take new paths not previously used or occur in locations that have not seen them before, even after significant rainfall events. Debris flows can travel unpredictably through torrents along stream beds or carve new channels on fans.
1) Debris flows are triggered by high intensity, short duration rainfall that produces abundant runoff. Rainfall of 9mm over 15 minutes did not produce a debris flow, while 18mm over 10 minutes did.
2) Rainfall characteristics that typically trigger debris flows in dolomitic environments include a core of 10-15mm of rain over 10-15 minutes, with pulses over 5-6mm/5minutes.
3) Two debris flows in July and August 2015 in Italy were examined. The triggering rainfalls had cores of 11.6mm over 5 minutes and 13.8mm over 15 minutes respectively.

The document describes a simplified rainfall-runoff model for small, rocky headwater basins. It uses the SCS-CN method to compute excess rainfall based on total rainfall, curve number, and an initial abstraction. Excess rainfall is then routed downslope and through the stream network using kinematic wave approximations. The model was tested on an instrumented 0.032 km2 basin in the Italian Dolomites, calibrating curve numbers and infiltration rates to observed runoff volumes and hydrographs from rainfall events with peak intensities from 7-46 mm/h. The model reasonably simulated observed basin response times and hydrographs.
The document discusses research activities related to hydrology conducted by Prof. Salvatore Manfreda. It provides an overview of his educational background and experience, as well as projects he has led. It then summarizes some of his recent research interests, which include soil moisture modeling, river basin modeling, model calibration, flow rating curves, detection of flood prone areas, and river monitoring using unmanned aerial systems. It provides examples of some of this work, including the soil moisture analytical relationship model, modeling soil water dynamics at the basin scale, and the geomorphic flood index tool.
Debris Flow Assessment, Monitoring and Early Warning in the SpreitgrabenInfoAndina CONDESAN
油
A FMCW-Doppler radar detects debris flows upstream in the Spreitgraben torrent system in Switzerland by measuring flow velocities. Since 2009, several extremely erosive debris flows have occurred that were initially triggered by rockfalls but became larger, more destructive events over time. The debris flows have deposited a total of 650,000 cubic meters of sediment in the receiving Aare River, threatening important infrastructure like roads, pipelines, and buildings. A comprehensive monitoring system using radars, sensors, and webcams has been established to detect events and provide early warning.
This master's thesis evaluates the open stormwater solutions in Augustenborg Eco-city, Sweden using a hydrological model. Augustenborg is known for its sustainable planning and effective open stormwater systems. The study aims to investigate the efficiency of the open stormwater system during extreme rainfall events. A MIKE SHE model is built to simulate 1-year, 10-year, and 100-year extreme rainfall scenarios. The results show that the open stormwater solutions perform well under normal conditions and 10-year events but flooding may occur under a 100-year event if the soil becomes saturated. The thesis concludes that the current system is suitable for handling typical climatic conditions but identifies risks during extreme events.

This document discusses sustainable water storage and sediment management in reservoirs. It notes that sedimentation reduces global water storage capacity by around 1% each year, costing billions to address. The ConSedTrans process aims to restore natural sediment transport continuity while maintaining reservoir capacity. It involves continuously transferring sediments from areas of deposition within reservoirs to areas where flows allow natural downstream transfer, using automated vessels. This avoids problems from blocking sediment transport while meeting EU directives on achieving good water status. It is a cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable approach to managing sediments in reservoirs and rivers.
The document describes a project called the Integrated Management of the Red Thai Binh river system under change (IMRR) which aims to develop strategies for sustainable management of the Red-Thai Binh River System in Vietnam.

The project models the river system and reservoirs using various tools and analyzes how climate and water demand changes could impact the system and affect flood damages, water supply, and hydropower production. It explores how policies may need to adapt to different future scenarios.
These slides describe the UniTN project CLIMAWARE, and were presented at the Conference on Anticipatory System held in Trento (Italy) form 5 to 7 November.
This article has three objectives: 1) to demonstrate that there is a drastic change in the Earth's climate thanks to global warming, which is contributing to the occurrence of floods in cities that are increasingly catastrophic in their effects; 2) propose measures to combat global climate change; and 3) propose measures to prepare cities to face extreme weather events. Recently, floods have occurred that expose the vulnerability of cities in Europe and China to the most extreme weather. After the floods that killed people in Germany, Belgium and China, the message was reinforced that significant changes are needed to prepare cities to face similar events in the future. Governments need to admit that the infrastructure they built in the past for cities, even in more recent times, is vulnerable to these extreme weather events. To deal with the floods that will become more and more frequent, governments need to act simultaneously in three directions: the first is to combat global climate change; the second is to prepare cities to face extreme weather events and the third is to implement a sustainable society at the national and global levels.
The document summarizes the second seminar of the CLIMAWARE project. It discusses granular flow extremes like floods, sediment transport, debris flows, and avalanches. The project is studying the impacts of climate change on water resources and hydrogeological risks. It uses experimental approaches with laboratory and scale models to develop predictive tools for simulating extreme events under changing climate scenarios.

Regional Scale Modelling of Solid Waste Flow in Storm Drains of Urban Cities:...IJERA Editor
油
Floods are phenomena that become more frequent and more intense due to anthropogenic activities such as poor land use, improper waste management, uncontrolled urbanization, industrialization In developing countries, the drainage systems are most often limited (if not absent), inadequate or not adapted. Most of the storm drains are regularly filled with solid materials that are collected from the environment and conveyed by runoff. Waste management in developing countries is very poor and important fractions of the wastes produced are abandoned in nature thereby impacting severely on the environment. The Abiergu辿 watershed was targeted to study the process of the hydrological transformation of rainfall into runoff that conveys solid waste within a drainage system. The aim of this research was to develop a model that will enable the simulation of waste flow with respect to a specific rainfall pattern. It will permit to quantify the total solid wastes in circulation in a drainage system and as such provide appropriate and significant information on the role played by these wastes which can be used for engineering new adapted systems in developing countries. It was found that the solid domestic wastes and soil sediments evolved following a linear and a quadratic pattern respectively with respect to runoffs.

Geomorphic Approaches for the Delineation of Flood Prone AreasSalvatore Manfreda
油
This document discusses geomorphic approaches for delineating flood prone areas. It presents three methods - modified topographic index (GM1), linear binary classifier of geomorphic features (GM2), and a hydro-geomorphic inundation model (GM3). The methods are tested on the Upper Tiber River basin in Italy. GM1 uses a topographic wetness index threshold to identify flood areas. GM2 uses linear classifiers on geomorphic features like slope and distance to streams. GM3 simulates flood inundation depths along river valleys. The results are compared to detailed flood maps for the study area to evaluate the accuracy of the simplified geomorphic approaches.
The document discusses climate change adaptation strategies for coastal cities like Venice that are threatened by sea level rise and flooding.

Diagrams show how ecosystems like dunes, marshes and oyster reefs can act as natural buffers against flooding when integrated with structural measures like levees. The document advocates applying lessons learned from restoring the Venice lagoon to other coastal cities facing similar risks from climate change impacts.

What is an algorithm?
An Algorithm is a procedure to solve a particular problem in a finite number of steps for a finite-sized input.
The algorithms can be classified in various ways. They are:
Implementation Method
Design Method
Design Approaches
Other Classifications
In this article, the different algorithms in each classification method are discussed.
The classification of algorithms is important for several reasons:
Organization: Algorithms can be very complex and by classifying them, it becomes easier to organize, understand, and compare different algorithms.
Problem Solving: Different problems require different algorithms, and by having a classification, it can help identify the best algorithm for a particular problem.
Performance Comparison: By classifying algorithms, it is possible to compare their performance in terms of time and space complexity, making it easier to choose the best algorithm for a particular use case.
Reusability: By classifying algorithms, it becomes easier to re-use existing algorithms for similar problems, thereby reducing development time and improving efficiency.
Research: Classifying algorithms is essential for research and development in computer science, as it helps to identify new algorithms and improve existing ones.
Overall, the classification of algorithms plays a crucial role in computer science and helps to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of solving problems.
Classification by Implementation Method: There are primarily three main categories into which an algorithm can be named in this type of classification. They are:
Recursion or Iteration: A recursive algorithm is an algorithm which calls itself again and again until a base condition is achieved whereas iterative algorithms use loops and/or data structures like stacks, queues to solve any problem. Every recursive solution can be implemented as an iterative solution and vice versa.
Example: The Tower of Hanoi is implemented in a recursive fashion while Stock Span problem is implemented iteratively.
Exact or Approximate: Algorithms that are capable of finding an optimal solution for any problem are known as the exact algorithm. For all those problems, where it is not possible to find the most optimized solution, an approximation algorithm is used. Approximate algorithms are the type of algorithms that find the result as an average outcome of sub outcomes to a problem.
Example: For NP-Hard Problems, approximation algorithms are used. Sorting algorithms are the exact algorithms.
Serial or Parallel or Distributed Algorithms: In serial algorithms, one instruction is executed at a time while parallel algorithms are those in which we divide the problem into subproblems and execute them on different processors.

Occurrence of debris flows? Where, how and when
they initiate?
Runoff descending from channels incised on rocky cliffs
entrain debris material laying at their feet, initiating a solid-
liquid wave.
22. Carlo Gregoretti23/5/2017 Mekelle University - Debris Flows
Runoff descending from the channel incised on cliffs impact
sediments laying at their feet generating a solid-liquid flow
(images of a channel incised on the Mount Cristallo walls).

Debris flow occurred the 12th of
June 1997 at Acquabona
Two examples of runoff descending along rocky cliffs filmed
at Acquabona (left) and Dimai (right) in the area of Cortina
dAmpezzo that initiated debris flows.

On the fan at the base of channels incised on the rocky cliffs, runoff
action dig channel. On the bottom of these channel, debris deposits due to
previous erosive events (rock falls, bank failures, sediment transport) are
entrained by runoff corresponding to high intensity rainfalls

event occurrence and development
Deposition
Debris flows commonly occur
in channels draining small
steep rock basins located in
the upper part of the slopes
where high intensity, short
duration rainfalls, rapidly
generate high runoff

entrain large debris material

28. Carlo Gregoretti23/5/2017 Mekelle University - Debris Flows
In brief, a debris flow results from three different physical
processes
1. Abundant runoff production after high intensity
precipitation
2. Entrainment of debris material laying on the bottom of
channels with formation of a solid-liquid wave
3. Downstream routing of the solid-liquid wave
We need three different models for debris flow simulations:
1. Hydrologic model (Rainfall-Runoff) for rocky headwater
basins
2. Triggering model for determining the solid-liquid
hydrograph
3. Hydraulic model for downstream routing
