Rhine Flooding Case Study

A brief introduction of line flood case studies: - The line is one of the largest and most commonly used waterways in Europe. The source of this great river is in the Swiss Alps which grows 1,320 kilometers until it flows into the Dutch North Sea. The Rhine has a long history of flooding, the recent catastrophic flooding that occurred in the 1990s caused considerable damage, and the local people were deeply moved. [IMAGE] Reason: - The causes of these intense floods are caused by various things, including human factors such as deforestation and greenhouse effect (the fact that the temperature in the south rises by 1 ° C).

Floods in Europe In February 1995, floods hit most areas of the continent of Europe, flooding threatened locals and towns. The Rhine and its many tributaries occurred in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. The Meuse River, Moselle River and Rule River are tributaries. Floods caused damage to Europe, causing deaths of people and animals, destruction of agricultural land, and development of buildings. - The seasonal rain of Boscastle is a common feature of Southwest England's climate and has been recorded many times. . On August 16th this year, the heavy rain on the North Coastish coast caused a disaster not seen since 1952.

Reichswald is a forest area close to the border between the Netherlands and Germany. A line with a width of 2 to 3 miles (which allows flooding after running in a cold winter) flood plain is the northern border of this area. Meanwhile, Mashong Plain is the southern border. Reichswald Ridge is a remnant of a glacier that turns easily into dirt when wet. During operation, the ground has been thawed and is basically unsuitable for vehicles with wheels or tracked, which has caused many tanks to malfunction.

In a fine winter of January, we went on a kayak trip to Meinerswijk. Meinerswijk is a nature reserve of the Arnhem Rhine. Meinerswijk's backyard has a normal water level, and many people jog every day / weekly. At this time of this year, the water peak will be higher than usual, but unfortunately, we could not make a round in a floody natural area. The actual water level and throughput of Arnhem can be seen on the website of the Public Works Division Rijkswaterstaat. This information is important to us. For some reason we are not allowed to appear in the water for safety reasons. In the case of rowers, throughput of more than 1100 m 3 / s is not permitted for use on water. There is no official limit on kayakers. And you can use the riverbank area to rise easier. The past information is in the following place: Rijkswaterstaat old. Recently Rijkswaterstaat has been changed to: Rijkswaterstaat
