ABSTRACT There is increasing interest in installing water storage ponds as part of natural flood management (NFM) approaches being implemented globally. Despite decades experience with constructing within civil engineering disciplines, there remains little empirical evidence their effectiveness NFM. In NFM, ‘natural’ use green infrastructure, are often smaller but more numerous, and built maintained by land managers rather than engineers. Here we investigate six the 69 km 2 Eddleston NFM pilot catchment Scotland, UK, analysing impact on peak stream flows at different scales pond designs. The generally reduce where they have large available capacity, catchments small (< 1 ), events low magnitude (> 20% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP)). No discernible flow reduction was observed largest (64 ) for (~21% AEP) event. significant variability between ponds, gains can be made inlet/outlet structures, maintenance, widespread installation. findings suggest that most potential to contribute control 10 25% AEP), when carefully designed maintained, sufficient number.

In recent years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced a marked increase in extreme rainfall events, challenging urban planning and infrastructure. This study investigates four events Al Ain, UAE, between 2007 2020, using data from 11 rain gauges estimates three satellite precipitation products. These set new records, with some recording up to 195.7 mm intensities exceeding 175 mm/hr. Comparisons revealed significant discrepancies among products, which underestimated overestimated one. A watershed encompassing Ain was delineated, runoff these simulated fully distributed, physically based GSSHA hydrologic model. The model provided detailed, spatially explicit estimates, highlighting areas of as particularly vulnerable flooding. Despite low ratios (0.11% 3.14%) due high infiltration rates, flooding occurred regions, emphasizing compounded flood risks intense rapid expansion. discusses general mitigation strategies that can be considered enhance Ain's resilience, ensuring safety residents infrastructure managing escalating hazards amid increasingly weather patterns. Thoroughly evaluated are essential for adapting dynamic climate safeguarding future events.

Recent technological advancements in produced water for the oil and gas industry have a long history that spreads over centuries has roots with many mathematicians, physicists, engineers, inventors. Working to understand ideas questions helped bring technologies where we are today. Fluid mechanics is an essential factor world of engineering because it comes significant benefits when designing necessary equipment overcome challenging endeavors daily operations. Many us believe certain or products were developed within specific year not fully understanding idea concept might be hundreds years old. For example, think fluid mechanics, do Archimedes' immersing King Hiero II crown water. Archimedes did this determine displacement as he knew gold was denser than silver. one pioneers who part beginning mechanics. Another interesting fact first valve invented 1 AD by Heron Alexandria. This can described very hydraulic valve. The evolution technology made considerable innovations benefiting engineers all world. These come form PLCs, RTUs, PIDs, mathematical formulas, processing methods, SCADA systems.
