Decoding Culvert Surveying: The Comprehensive Guide to Methodology and Practice It’s time to delve. We are about to unravel the complex yet fascinating world of culvert surveying. Indeed, this is a distinctive discipline that marries civil engineering and environmental science. And by understanding its methodology and practice, we can raise our ability to manage...
Climate change is a global phenomenon in which the Earth’s average temperature is changing due to natural or human-made influences. The primary cause of climate change is the greenhouse effect, which occurs when carbon dioxide and other gases trap heat radiation in the atmosphere. The process by which this happens is called greenhouse warming. ...
Stormwater management is the process of controlling and managing water that runs off from rain or melting snow. It is a way to reduce the amount of runoff and protect the environment from the potential damage that can be caused by stormwater. There are many benefits to stormwater management, including reducing flooding, protecting against erosion,...
It’s no secret that we are in the midst of a water crisis. In many parts of the world, water is becoming increasingly scarce, and the demand for it is only going to continue to increase. One way to help address this crisis is by finding ways to reuse and recycle water. But what about...
How can we reduce the risk of flooding on UK roads and highways? What do you need to do to ensure that you are safe and protected from floods? In this article, we take a look at what road flooding is, how we can reduce the risk of flooding and also discuss future proofing against...
There are many ways to prevent rising water levels in our lakes and rivers. Some of these methods are simple and easy to do, while others require more effort. But, no matter what method you choose, it is important to be proactive and take action to prevent rising water levels. Here are some ways to...
The modern sewage system is a vital part of our infrastructure, but it is easy to take it for granted. It is important to remember that the sewage system is a relatively recent development in human history. It has been recorded that the first sewer systems were built in ancient Rome between 800BC and 735BC....
Seascape change is inevitable. As the salt water rises, sea level rise has significant implications for coastal areas. It increases the rate at which groundwater is being pulled into the ground by gravity, threatening to further degrade groundwater quality and cause saltwater intrusion in drinking water aquifers. Increased erosion, flooding and impact on infrastructures such...
Global warming has a direct effect on culvert performance, which is an important part of road infrastructure protection. Thanks to climate change, the frequency and intensity of extremely hot and cold weather events, such as hurricanes and monsoons, are also increasing. In all these areas culverts are susceptible to huge damage or even total failure...
Flooding is responsible for a lot of highway damage. Climate change can lead to an increase in temperature which may cause water to freeze faster, causing problems when it melts. More powerful and heavier rains can also lead to flooding as water takes longer to drain away. In addition, as more people move into more...
