Nala Diversion & Drainage Network Design for Flood Control
Nala Diversion & Drainage Network Design: Sustainable Solutions for Flood Control and Infrastructure Protection Introduction Natural drainage channels—commonly known as nalas—play a critical role in conveying stormwater, maintaining watershed hydrology, and preventing localized flooding. However, rapid urbanization, mining activities, industrial expansion, and infrastructure development often obstruct or alter these natural flow paths. When nalas are […]
Land Subsidence: Causes, Monitoring Techniques, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies
Land Subsidence: Causes, Monitoring Techniques, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies Introduction Land subsidence is a slow but often irreversible geohazard resulting from the gradual sinking of the Earth’s surface. In many regions, subsidence is closely linked to excessive groundwater extraction, mining activities, underground construction, and natural geological processes. With increasing urbanization and water demand, land subsidence […]
Top Groundwater Recharge Strategies for Climate-Resilient Water Security
Top Groundwater Recharge Strategies for Climate-Resilient Water Security Introduction As climate change intensifies rainfall variability and increases water scarcity in many regions, ensuring climate-resilient water security has become a global priority. Groundwater — the largest source of accessible freshwater in many countries — is under pressure due to over-extraction, pollution, and declining recharge rates. Implementing […]
