  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: An X-radiographic study of the October 2000 Po River flood deposit, Italy Author: Hunt, Louise During October 2000 the Po River, Italy's largest river, experienced a historically significant flood, producing a deposit on the adjacent prodelta. In December 2000 an event-response study of the deposit was conducted, and during the ensuing 16 months three additional sampling cruises were conducted to study the subsequent evolution of the deposit. X-radiograph analysis techniques were developed to enable objective, quantitative measurements of deposit thickness. Two methods of objectively locating the deposit base were created and verified with a data set of x-radiographs from a previously studied flood deposit. The Po River flood deposit was found to be proximal to the river mouths with a sharp cross-shore thickness gradient, from 38-cm thick in 11-m water depth off the Pila mouth, to the deposit edge approximately 7 km seaward in 30-m water depth. Along-shore deposit thickness was varied; deposit thickness was high (> 15 cm) at near shore (10-m depth) stations proximal to river mouths and low (7 cm) at other near-shore stations. This distribution was likely a result of the low energy shelf environment allowing immediate deposition of Po River sediment load with little dispersal or resuspension. The located deposit mass was approximately 10⁷ T. Continued deposition and bioturbation occurred at most sites between December 2000 and June 2001. Sites proximal to the Pila mouth showed continued deposition through April 2002 at rates of up to 15 cm/yr. Between December 2000 and April 2002 no significant erosion occurred; consistent with the generally low velocity bottom currents measured at a benthic tripod in the study area.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Multiobjective Optimization of Wetlands for Attaining Flood, Water Quality and Bird Habitat Benefits Author: Noa-Yarasca, Efrain A significant number of historically existing wetlands that naturally stored rainwater and attenuated flood peaks have now been drained and employed as new farming areas. Beyond the water quality and flow problem, this has resulted in loss of natural habitats of diverse ecological species. Restoring wetlands have hence been proposed as a potential conservation strategy to help attenuate many of these problems. In this study a spatial, multi-objective optimization study of new potential wetlands was carried out to achieve biodiversity improvements in addition to flood reduction benefits and water quality improvements. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to simulate flow and water quality, and the USGS GAP tool was used to estimate impacts on ecological habitats. Although this study is focused on four types of bird species, as a surrogate of biodiversity across the study site (Big Creek Watershed in southwestern Indiana), the methodology can be applied to other species and regions. The study helped assess redundancies as well as trade-offs between the flooding, water quality, and habitat objective functions. Additionally, the methodology helped assess critical locations that help improve multiple goals.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish and Community in Flood-prone Areas of the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam Author: Sinh, Le Xuan The Mekong River Delta plays an essential role to Vietnam’s economy in terms of both rice and fish production. Annual flooding water and a rich level of aquatic resources strongly affect about 10 million local people, as well as extend beyond the boundaries of wetland itself. Flooding water and wild fish in it are considered common properties while physical and socio-economics conditions in the flooding water areas have changed very much during the last three decades. However, natural freshwater aquatic resources have rapidly depleted due to different reasons. Of which, the most important ones may be the construction of dense irrigation systems, property rights, policy and regulations, as well as livelihoods and perception of the local community. Major related issues are discussed in order to find out alternative solutions for a better use and management of aquatic resources in the freshwater areas of the Delta. Better management of fishing activities is suggested while aquaculture is considered as a major solution to compensate the fish losses as well as the most important solution in the restructure process of agricultural economy in the study area. In addition, an improvement of the linkage among different types of stakeholders is also required.
