Colorado's Hydrologic and Geomorphic Hazard

Fire and floods will have a major impact on the natural landscape. Its severity is usually measured from the perspective of labor costs and monetary costs, but fire and flood are natural cycles and the environment is in a variety of ways, including fire, forest regeneration, sustainability of forest land and flood It depends on each environment. River system In many cases, the seriousness of fire and flood is an artificial factor. Long-term fire protection measures have influenced the balance of these processes.

Wildfires are an increasingly big problem with increasing natural disasters, threats to water resources, and global impacts leading to ecological consequences. Understanding how wildfires affect individual interactions in hydrological processes and hydrological cycles is important for understanding natural disaster prediction, water conservation, and hydrological influences and other landscape disorders It is essential for composite effects. Our study examined the impact of water problems on long-term (several years to decades after fire) related to natural disasters (two days after fire) and vegetation and soil recovery. In order to deepen our understanding of the hydrological influence of forest fires, our research has been conducted on site measurements of surface and subsurface response to rainfall, characterization of soil hydraulic properties in laboratories, numerical simulation of water, It combines solute and sediment transport.

Hydrological results of deforestation seriously affect water and natural disasters in the western United States and developing countries. Although the general time scale for deforestation is known, further investigation is needed for the impact of deforestation on the flow of unsaturated soil and its interaction with the underlying weathered rock. This frontier of hydrological research is important for groundwater recharge of the foundation, and consequently the base flow and slope damage. Ongoing and recent forest utilization projects include the locations of Oregon and Panama.

Landscape disturbances are characterized by relatively sudden damage to hydrological functions that can greatly affect ecological functions, water resources recovery ability, and damage to human life and infrastructure. Interference includes a wide range of anthropogenic and natural stressors, both intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external). People understand much about the effects of individual disturbances, but the commonality between interference effects and the integration of ecological theories is currently being sought. Furthermore, the interaction of spatial and temporal overlap disturbances is the focus of future hydrology research.
