Before rain begins to fall, scientists and engineers can predict where a storm might cause flooding thanks to advanced modeling and digital simulations that help guide billion-dollar decisions ...

Over the past decade, Vermont has experienced an increasing frequency of flooding events. These damaging floods deliver colossal amounts of rain, destroying buildings, and devastating communities in ...

Using HEC-RAS, one of the most widely used hydraulic modeling tools in water resources engineering, this video explores how computational river models help engineers study floods, reservoirs, and even ...

There is a consensus that beaver dams with associated ponding and floodplain inundation have a strong influence on ambient hydrologic and hydrogeologic conditions in mountainous alluvial valleys.
