This presentation discusses using GIS to analyze flood hazards through vulnerability indexing. It begins by outlining the objectives and typical causes of flooding. GIS can help by mapping flood areas and modeling flood simulations. Important data includes DEM, land use, soil type and rainfall data. A methodology is described for Trivandrum City that considers factors like runoff, soil type, slope and land cover to calculate a flood hazard index. Part B discusses aligning drainage systems. Another methodology for Cochin City is shown through a flow chart. Multi-criteria evaluation is used to assign vulnerability scores and weights to create a cumulative vulnerability map. Analysis of the 2015 Chennai floods is also summarized, which considered rainfall data, drainage systems and terrain factors

This document describes the activities of Working Group 4, which focuses on river flow monitoring using non-contact methods and traditional techniques. The objectives are to assess methodologies for image-based flow velocity estimation and provide a selection of appropriate monitoring methods. Tasks include inter-comparison exercises of different algorithms to reproduce 3D morphological surveys, and assessing methods for monitoring river flow velocity and discharge using imagery from drones and different image velocimetry software. Future tasks involve continuing to evaluate drone techniques, developing best practice guidelines, and discussing image pre-processing approaches with Working Group 1.
Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves and RegionalisationAM Publications
Storm sewers make up a large percentage of drainage system in an urban setup. The design of these
components are based on rainfall intensities of a specific design period for that location. These can be derived from
intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relationship. These IDF relationships are derived from historical rainfall, using
an extreme value distribution for maximum rainfall intensity. In the present study the IDF curves and parameter
regionalisation were studied for various kinds of basins. These equation parameters can be then used to understand
the spatial variation of rainfall intensity in the study area. The parameter contour maps subsequently generated using
various interpolation method are then used for plotting IDF curves for any ungauged station in the basin.

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events, affecting rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve information used in the design, maintenance and operation of water infrastructure in Canada. Presented in this lecture are analyses of precipitation data from 567 Environment Canada hydro-meteorological stations using the IDF_CC tool. Results for the year 2100 based on Canadian climate model and an ensemble of 22 GCMs have been generated. A spatial interpolation method was used to produce Canadian precipitation maps for events of various return periods. Results based on the Canadian climate model indicate a reduction in extreme precipitation in central regions of Canada and increases in other regions. Relative to the ensemble approach, the Canadian climate model results (a) suggest more spatial variability in change of IDFs, and (b) the ensemble approach generated generally lower values than the Canadian climate model.

An Attempt To Use Interpolation to Predict Rainfall Intensities tor Crash Ana...IJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This study uses different interpolation techniques to predict rainfall intensity at locationsthat are not directly located near a rainfall gauges. The goal of being able to interpolate the rainfall intensity is to study its impact on traffic crashes. To perform the study, a collection of rainfall gauges in Alabama were used as subject locations where rainfall intensity was predicted from surrounding gauges, while also providing validation data to compare the predictions. Essentially, the actual rainfall intensities at existing gauges were interpolated using nearby gauges and the results were analyzed.The interpolation techniques used in the study included proximal, averaging and a distance weighted average. The results of the study indicated that none of the interpolation methodologies were sufficient to accurately predict the rainfall intensity values any significant distance from the actual gauges.

It includes global datasets from the IPCC and NOAA, as well as regional datasets for Europe, the US, and other parts of the world. The sources provide raw and processed climate data, paleoclimate reconstructions, and model output. The datasets contain temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables and can be used for mapping, analysis, and modeling.
This report summarizes the analysis of satellite imagery for an area in India located at 29° 58' N 78°10 E. Three methods of remote sensing analysis were used: visual interpretation, digital analysis with Erdas Imagine, and classification of land features. Key findings include identification of urban areas, water bodies, vegetation/crops, and man-made structures. Crop analysis identified rice and wheat fields and estimated harvest amounts. River pollution analysis used reflectance values. Road construction needs were assessed using spatial and surface profiling tools. The study area and different land categories were delineated. Changes over time were observed using Landsat images from 1999 to 2003. Remote sensing allowed efficient land use planning and modeling of the terrain.
This document analyzes the homogeneity of rainfall records for 13 stations in Iraq using three statistical tests: Pettitt test, Buishand test, and double mass curve test. The Pettitt and Buishand tests indicated no break points for most stations, while the double mass curve identified break points at the Karbala station in March 1998 and the Samawa station in December 1991. The rainfall records for these two stations were adjusted using the double mass curve method and retested with Pettitt and Buishand, which then showed no break points. In summary, statistical testing found the rainfall records to be homogeneous for most Iraqi stations, with adjustments made for break points identified at two stations.

Delineation of Mahanadi River Basin by Using GIS and ArcSWATinventionjournals
Precipitation is the significant segment of hydrologic cycle and this essential wellspring of overflow. In hydrological models precipitation as information, release is mimicked at the outlet of a watershed. Exactness of release re-enactment relies on drainage zone of the watershed. Therefore in the present work Mahanadi river basin lying within Odisha (drainage area approximately 65000 sq. km.) has been delineated in to five subbasins based on the five CWC operated discharge sites in Odisha. In the present work Arc-Swat has been used to delineate the watershed with the help of the (digital elevation model) DEM. At last as indicated by area of release locales, the aggregate study range was isolated into five sub-basins in particular Kesinga, Kantamal, Salebhata, Sundergarh and Tikarpada. It was observed that number of sub-watersheds into which the study area is being depicted relies on number of outlets and density of drainage. For a specific number of outlets, the thick is the density of drainage the more is the quantity of sub-watershed and the other way around.

This document discusses techniques for prospecting, assessing preservation of, and predictively managing archaeological sites in alluvial environments. It describes using aerial photography, multispectral imaging, lidar, and hyperspectral analysis for non-invasive prospection of sites. Predictive models are developed using weighted environmental factors to provide risk scores for archaeological potential and impacts on a parcel-by-parcel basis. Critiques note the challenges of modeling past human behaviors and meanings assigned to model results may be imprecise without detailed records. Overall the techniques show potential but also adoption issues around data availability, costs, and strategic management alignment.
Urban sprawl in Mangalore and Udupi regions of Karnataka, India is modeled and analyzed using GIS and other techniques. Shannon's entropy and landscape metrics are used to analyze patterns and structures of urban growth. Regression analysis is performed to quantify relationships between factors like population, density, and distance from cities, and the extent of built-up areas. Non-linear models provide better predictions of cumulative effects of variables on urbanization compared to linear models. This methodology can effectively model and analyze urban sprawl dynamics.
Computer model simulations are widely used in the investigation of complex hydrological systems. In particular, hydrological models are tools that help both to better understand hydrological processes and to predict extreme events such as floods and droughts. Usually, model parameters need to be estimated through calibration, in order to constrain model outputs to observed variables.
Relevant model parameters used for calibration are usually selected based on expert knowledge of the modeller or by using a local one-at-a-time (OAT) sensitivity analysis (SA). However, in case of complex models those approaches may not result in proper identification of the most sensitive parameters for model calibration. In particular local OAT SA methods are only effective for assessing the relative importance of input factors when the model is linear, monotonic, and additive, which is rarely the case for complex environmental models. In contrast Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA)
is a formal method for statistical evaluation of relevant parameters that contribute significantly to model performance. GSA techniques explore the entire feasible space of each model parameter, and they do not require any assumptions on the model nature (such as linearity or additivity).
In this work we apply the GSA to LISFLOOD, a fully-distributed hydrological model used for flood forecasting at Pan-European scale within the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS). Two case studies are considered, snowmelt- and evapotranspiration-driven catchments, to identify sensitive parameters for both types of hydrological regimes. Results of the GSA will then be used for selecting parameters that need to be estimated during model calibration. Considering the large
number of parameters of a fully-distributed model, a two-step GSA framework is applied. First, we implement the computationally efficient screening method of Morris. This method requires a limited number of simulations and produces a qualitative ranking and selection of important factors. As a second step, we apply the variance-based method of Sobol, only to the subset of factors determined as important during the previous screening. The method of Sobol provides quantitative estimates for first order and total order sensitivity indexes of input factors.
The calibration results after the GSA will be described for both case studies and compared against those obtained by using only prior expert knowledge

Determination of homogenous regions in the Tensift basin (Morocco).IJERA Editor
The aim of this study is to determine homogenous region in the Tensift basin within which the hydrological behavior is similar. In order to do this we used two methods: The Principal components analysis on the monthly precipitation registered at the 23 rainfall stations. This resulted in setting apart 4 groups of stations. The second method is analysis of land use map, geological map, pedagogical map, vegetation map and slope map of the studied area. This method allowed us to delineate 4 homogenous areas. The two methods yielded complementary results and the superposition of groups and regions obtained allowed us to retain 4 homogenous regions corresponding to 3 groups of stations.

หัวข้อ Assessment of Future Drought Hazard to Agricultural Area in Mun River Basin, Thailand
This project aims to develop a launch traffic model to model past and future satellite launches. This model will provide source terms describing the injection of objects into orbit due to rocket launches. These source terms will then be input into an existing density-based model to simulate the evolution of the space debris population in low Earth orbit. So far, the researcher has analyzed current debris populations from several databases and matched approximately 10% of objects between 2005-2012. The goals are to analyze results from implementing the source terms into the debris cloud simulation code.
Aquifer recharge from flash floods in the arid environment: A mass balance ap...Amro Elfeki
Estimation of the infiltration/natural recharge to groundwater from rainfall is an important issue in hydrology, particularly in arid regions. This paper proposes the application of The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) mass balance model to develop infiltration (F)–rainfall (P) relationship from flash flood events. Moreover, the NRCS method is compared with the rational and the Ф-index methods to investigate the discrepancies between these methods. The methods have been applied to five gauged basins and their 19 sub-basins (representative basins with detailed measurements) in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia with 161 storms recorded in 4 years. The F–P relationships developed in this study based on NRCS method are: F = 39% P with R2 = 0.932 for the initial abstraction factor, λ = 0.2. However, F = 77% P with R2 = 0.986 for λ = 0.01. The model at λ = 0.01 is the best to fit the data, therefore, it is recommended to use the formula at λ = 0.01. The results show that the NRCS model is appropriate for the estimation of the F–P relationships in arid regions when compared with the rational and the Ф index methods. The latter overestimates the infiltration because they do not take λ into account. There is no significant difference between F–P relationships at different time scales. This helps the prediction of infiltration rates for aquifer recharge at ungauged basins from monthly and annual rainfall data with a single formula.
Application of GIS and Remote Sensing in Flood Risk ManagementAmitSaha123
Introduction to catastrophic disaster flood. Its impact on environment and human lives. GIS and Remote Sensing based solutions that can provide key approaches to mitigate flood related hazard as well as vulnerablities.
Remote sensing and GIS techniques can contribute significantly to groundwater modeling efforts. Remote sensing provides spatial data on land cover, vegetation, rainfall, and terrain that are important model inputs. GIS allows integration of diverse data layers, conceptualization of recharge/discharge areas, and output visualization. However, remote sensing has limitations, such as an inability to directly measure groundwater levels or recharge. Overall, combining remote sensing, GIS, and field data can improve conceptual models and produce more accurate modeling results for groundwater management.

หัวข้อ Assessment of Future Drought Hazard to Agricultural Area in Mun River Basin, Thailand
This project aims to develop a launch traffic model to model past and future satellite launches. This model will provide source terms describing the injection of objects into orbit due to rocket launches. These source terms will then be input into an existing density-based model to simulate the evolution of the space debris population in low Earth orbit. So far, the researcher has analyzed current debris populations from several databases and matched approximately 10% of objects between 2005-2012. The goals are to analyze results from implementing the source terms into the debris cloud simulation code.
Aquifer recharge from flash floods in the arid environment: A mass balance ap...Amro Elfeki
Estimation of the infiltration/natural recharge to groundwater from rainfall is an important issue in hydrology, particularly in arid regions. This paper proposes the application of The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) mass balance model to develop infiltration (F)–rainfall (P) relationship from flash flood events. Moreover, the NRCS method is compared with the rational and the Ф-index methods to investigate the discrepancies between these methods. The methods have been applied to five gauged basins and their 19 sub-basins (representative basins with detailed measurements) in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia with 161 storms recorded in 4 years. The F–P relationships developed in this study based on NRCS method are: F = 39% P with R2 = 0.932 for the initial abstraction factor, λ = 0.2. However, F = 77% P with R2 = 0.986 for λ = 0.01. The model at λ = 0.01 is the best to fit the data, therefore, it is recommended to use the formula at λ = 0.01. The results show that the NRCS model is appropriate for the estimation of the F–P relationships in arid regions when compared with the rational and the Ф index methods. The latter overestimates the infiltration because they do not take λ into account. There is no significant difference between F–P relationships at different time scales. This helps the prediction of infiltration rates for aquifer recharge at ungauged basins from monthly and annual rainfall data with a single formula.
Application of GIS and Remote Sensing in Flood Risk ManagementAmitSaha123
Introduction to catastrophic disaster flood. Its impact on environment and human lives. GIS and Remote Sensing based solutions that can provide key approaches to mitigate flood related hazard as well as vulnerablities.
Remote sensing and GIS techniques can contribute significantly to groundwater modeling efforts. Remote sensing provides spatial data on land cover, vegetation, rainfall, and terrain that are important model inputs. GIS allows integration of diverse data layers, conceptualization of recharge/discharge areas, and output visualization. However, remote sensing has limitations, such as an inability to directly measure groundwater levels or recharge. Overall, combining remote sensing, GIS, and field data can improve conceptual models and produce more accurate modeling results for groundwater management.

Use of Satellite Data for Feasibility Study And Preliminary Design Project Re...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: In the developing countries like India, need of infrastructure is very high as compared to the available resources. The various organizations put their demands to state and center government for sanction of their project, government depends upon its various department to provide an approximate cost so that priorities can be assigned. The conventional procedure depends upon the land surveying, collection of data from various departments resulting in delay in necessary decision making or some time shelving due to unreasonable cost estimate due to field data being very old. Survey of India, The National Survey and Mapping Organization single handily taking this responsibility thus up gradation of data is far behind the actual development. From the satellite data, which is available in the form of images and terrains (even in 3d LiDAR points for some areas) is very useful for Feasibility Study, and Preliminary Project Report. In the present study natural drain named „Chai Nala‟ meanders through the prime property of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) thus making a big chunk of commercial land inoperative. It was proposed to straighten and channelize to reclaim the land from drain regime. Being the precious land department wanted the most economical and technically sound design without taking any risk. It was decided to counter check the hydraulic data, ground profile, acquired from the Punjab Irrigation Department with the satellite data and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The data from the Google Earth was acquired using Cad Earth software and water shed analysis was carried out using Autodesk Civil 3D software. Comparison of results shows that this technique is quite useful and can be for preliminary feasibility and project preparation. Thus saving huge money and time.
Objectives:
Develop a replicable integrated model (methodology) for evaluating the extent and development potential of renewable (non-renewable) groundwater resources in arid lands, with the Eastern Desert of Egypt as a pilot site.
The model will be replicable for similar arid areas; North of Sudan, Tibesty, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
