Sentence examples for flood attenuation from inspiring English sources

The Devon project targets three key indicators: water storage, flood attenuation and water quality.

In addition to vegetative resistance effects, flood attenuation is increased by man-made flow restrictions like levies, culverts and bridges.

These services include the cleaning of sewage and waste water from industry, as well as flood attenuation and the support of downstream fisheries.

Today, a landscape- or watershed-based approach is needed to restore wetlands at larger spatial scales and in strategic locations for water quality improvement, flood attenuation, and biodiversity.

Thus, the frequency and extent of subsequent overbank flows and floodplain inundation decreased, which reduced downstream flood attenuation and increased downstream flood hazard.

Sediment accumulation can significantly impact the useful life of dams and the multiple functions served by those dams such as flood attenuation, hydropower, and water supply.

This paper presents a modified linear Muskingum hydrological routing method where the floodplain effects on flood peak attenuation and flood wave travel time are included in routing parameters.

This may partially explain the lack of floodplain storage (and resultant negligible flood wave attenuation).

There is no discernible difference between the up and downstream hydrographs, and therefore, no flood wave attenuation.

This simulation reflects the maximum amount of floodplain access, so no other plausible scenario would result in increased flood wave attenuation.

To complement this finding, the up and downstream hydrographs for the 50-year design storm for a simulation reflecting maximum floodplain access were plotted to assess the extent of flood wave attenuation and the role of naturally available floodplain access in the system.
