Podcasts about floodplains

Remember late last year we were talking about the proposal to move Westport. The West Coast town has been repeatedly inundated by flooding since European settlement, but that's escalated in recent years. The Buller River flooded the town regularly - July 2021's Flood was particularly devastating. A draft master plan proposed relocating the town to farmland southwest of its current location, and we talked to one of the locals involved in planning the move, which isn't happening today, and it's not happening tomorrow but as part of a long-term relocation. We knew houses or commercial buildings need to be built. They won't be built on existing sites in the Township, but on the new land. So build it and they will come. Now another Township is bowing to the inevitable. The report has found that there is no viable long-term solution to prevent the frequent flooding of Kumeu, which is a gorgeous semi-rural township in northwest Auckland. As Rodney Local Board member Guy Wishart put it, there is no cavalry coming to save the town. He lost his Kumeu home in the 2023 floods and has moved to Helensville. The report outlined a history of flooding in Kumeu-Huapai stretching back to 1926. Since then, there have been five notable floods and more recently, floods in August 2021 and two floods in 2023. The report looked at possible solutions other than relocation. One of them was a $163 million dam upstream from the township, which, if it failed, “would have catastrophic impacts”, causing significant damage and risks to life. Well yes, if it failed, but you don't build dams expecting them to do so. And I think if you're saying it's $163 million, you can probably add another half of that on top. But according to local body councillors, there's no real alternative but to look at a managed retreat, relocate the town centre to an appropriate location, and for the council not to consent buildings and flood zones – which sounds like a no brainer, but it's happening everywhere. Why would you be building on a flood zone where it's flooded and flooded and flooded again? The floods are nothing new, according to those who've lived in the area their whole lives. There was a great story in the Kumeu Courier where they spoke to a local and looked at the history of the floods. After the large floods in 1924 and 1926, the almost annual floods in Kumeu Township compelled the then Ministry of Works to use depression labour to build a stock bank on farmland South of the Kumeu River Bridge, which is still needed and still clearly visible today according to the Courier. A local, who was a boy in the floods, said in 2021, the rainfall was 190 millimetres in 14 hours, but back in 1954 in the big flood he remembered, the rainfall was 150 millimetres in 5 1/2 hours. It was like a wall of water. And after the March 1954 floods, locals said, oh well, we're not going to see the like of that again. Six months later it rained for three days and three nights and created a second large flood in the same year. So things are not going to suddenly get better. If anything, it will only get worse. But what do you do when you've bought a house there, you're raising your family there, you've been through a couple of floods already, and you're being told that the only possible solution is eventual relocation? How do you manage to spend your days there, knowing that every time it rains, you're going to be feeling sick? Knowing that long term you're going to have to leave your land, your home, your business behind? Is relocation the only possible solution as far as you can see, especially if you have lived there for some time? I'd really like to get your thoughts on this and for all of those towns, because this is not the only town, this is not the only settlement that is facing the issue of dealing with weather events that have always happened, there's a history of them happening, and they're only going to get more frequent overtime. Yes, the Council shouldn't have consented back in the day - they did. And we are where we are now. People who have homes, who have businesses who have livelihoods on land that ultimately is going to be covered in water. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Climate change is polarizing. Between inflation, investor pressures, competitiveness, high interest, and economic sluggishness, climate change can seem like a far-off problem — just another thing to worry about. Sustainability often takes a back seat, becoming a “nice to have” instead of a “need to have.” But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Heather Taylor of EY Canada breaks down how prioritizing climate action is actually a smart investment strategy.Join the Building Good community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn

Missoula County residents are lucky to live in proximity to multiple rivers and creeks, but this also means increase risks of flooding. Missoula County is currently working with both state and federal agencies to update floodplain maps for the Clark Fork River, the Bitterroot River and Rock Creek. But what exactly is the floodplain, and why are updated maps needed? Recently, the Missoula County commissioners spoke with Matt Heimel, floodplain administrator for Missoula County, and Adriane Beck, director of the Missoula County Office of Emergency Management. Adriane and Matt answer these questions and help decode the many acronyms around the floodplain mapping process.

On this week's program, your host, Justin Mog, comes in out of the rain for a discussion about sustainable floodplain management and recovery in the wake of disasters like Hurricane Helene. Joining us this week is Eileen Shader, Senior Director of Floodplain Restoration at American Rivers (https://www.americanrivers.org/), who shares the results of a new analysis of the nation's floodplains by American Rivers and Conservation Science Partners which found that 90% of floodplains across the lower 48 have been adversely impacted by human actions. Listen in as we explore how the flood damage in western NC demonstrates how rivers are dynamic systems that need space to move across the floodplain. Learn how the National Flood Insurance Program influences where and how communities build next to rivers; and how NFIP flood hazard maps work, and how they can be improved. We discuss ways that communities, states, and the federal government can help affected communities rebuild better after floods; and the need for dam removal projects across the country.

In this episode, we chat with Erica Gies, award-winning journalist and author of Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge. We explore the complex relationships between water, nature, and human societies, emphasizing the need to embrace 'slow water'—respecting the natural rhythms of water's cycles for the benefit of both human and nonhuman life. Highlights include: Erica's personal decision not to have biological children as both a personal choice and a contribution to reducing human pressure on the planet; The concept of 'slow water' and allowing for water's natural cycles on the land contrasted with modern, infrastructure-heavy approaches that focus on controlling water; The broader implications of population growth on water and the need to address this issue within environmental and degrowth movements; The hidden complexity of natural systems in water ecology and the need to both appreciate our ignorance of these natural systems' complexity while also working to understand them better in order to live more in harmony with the natural world; The significance of traditional knowledge and ecological wisdom in living more in harmony with natural water cycles.  See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/erica-gies ABOUT US The Overpopulation Podcast features enlightening conversations between Population Balance executive director Nandita Bajaj, researcher Alan Ware, and expert guests that draw the connections between pronatalism, human supremacy, social inequalities, and ecological overshoot.

Floodplain meadows are a beautiful and natural landscapes that are found alongside rivers on larger flat areas that dry out sufficiently in the summer, through well drained soils. However their value goes way beyond their beauty and wildlife - the many benefits we get include storing floodwaters, keeping soil and nutrients out of rivers and helping to protect water quality. A project is underway to increase our knowledge of Welsh floodplain meadows and promote and conserve them for the future. The Welsh floodplain meadows partnership is focusing on south-east Wales, Carmarthenshire, and the Wye catchment, building connections with communities and organisations working in the floodplain. Caroline Evans meets with members of the project to discover what the work involves and what they hope to achieve.

High-risk flood zones are expanding this year along significant stretches of Florida's coastline.  In Broward County, nearly 90,000 properties have been moved into a FEMA flood zone.  But 80,000 of them were in such a zone prior to ten years ago, when FEMA moved them out – only to add them back in this year.  Many will now have to purchase flood insurance.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller talks with the county floodplain manager for an explanation, the reporter who broke the story, and another reporter from Palm Beach County, which is fighting FEMA's efforts to expand flood zones. Show Notes FEMA calls these high-risk flood zones Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA).  They are designated on a FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map as zones that begin with the letter “A” or the letter “V” for those living along the coast, subject to additional threat of storm surge.  Properties in these zones supposedly have a 1% probability of flooding each year, or about a one-in-four chance every 25-30 years.  Some refer to this as the 1-in-100-year flood probability.FEMA's 2024 updated maps have moved nearly 90,000 (88,913) properties in Broward County, Florida into a high-risk flood zone.  But almost 80,000 (79,689) were in that zone prior to FEMA's 2014 map update, then removed, and now 10 years later are back in a flood zone.  “How did this happen and what's the science behind it?” asked host Miller.Carlos Adorisio, Floodplain Manager for the unincorporated area of Broward County, explained that FEMA flood maps are based on studies of two factors: rainfall and coastal storm surge.  Maps from the 1980's and 1990's reflected most of the county was high-risk.  “In 2014, FEMA updated the maps, but they only updated the portion for the rainfall risk and not for the storm surge.  There was a lot of development and better modeling and a lot of areas were removed from the 100-year floodplain,” he explained.   In its 2024 maps, FEMA updated only the coastal storm surge risk.  “There's been more development, updated storm data, and better computer modeling techniques and mapping,” since the last storm surge studies done in the 1980's, said Adorisio, who is a Professional Engineer and a Certified Floodplain Manager.  “One of the components of storm surge is the sea level, which is higher than they accounted for in the 80's and therefore the storm surge is higher in this study,” Adorisio explained.  “Now the southern part of the county is lower than the middle and northern sections of the county...and it's to the point where FEMA believes that the higher storm surge elevation not only goes to I-95, it goes all the way to U.S. 27, which is close to the Everglades levee.  That's why you have those almost 90,000 parcels that are increasing in flood risk and now in the Special Flood Hazard Area,” said Adorisio, who earlier in his career worked for FEMA as a technical consultant for flood maps. Ron Hurtibise, business reporter for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, first reported the scope of the 2024 flood map changes.  The new high-risk flood zones are primarily located along...

Sparks flew, illuminating the fierce determination and sweat beaded in T-Bone's eyes. Ty Fighter circled around, seeking an opening, his scimitar trained on the enemy. Fissure Floodplain, Kutchek number two henchman, moved with a fluidity that spoke of years of combat, his every motion calculated and deadly. As the two warriors fought with primal fury, the Floodplain's laughter cut through the chaos, a chilling reminder of their peril.In the midst of the fray, a deafening roar erupted from the darkness beyond. The ground trembled beneath their feet as a massive, armored vehicle, bristling with weapons and adorned with grotesque trophies, thundered into view. Kutcheck's war machine, a behemoth that had laid waste to countless challengers, bore down upon them. Floodplain leapt back, his face twisting into a mocking sneer. "You fight well, but this is where your legend ends," he spat, retreating to the shadows. T-Bone and Ty Fighter turned to face the oncoming juggernaut, their hearts pounding. As the war machine's cannons locked onto them, the roar of its engines drowned out all other sound, leaving the two barbarians staring down their doom with unyielding resolve.

I've been hearing about the Herring River Restoration Project since I moved to Wellfleet in 2004. Restoring tidal flow to the 1100-acre saltwater estuary, which was diked in 1908, is an effort that's been decades in the making — and hands-on work finally began in early 2023.

Floodplain reconnection has emerged as a crucial solution to mitigating flooding, improving water quality, and supporting biodiversity along the Mississippi River corridor. In this episode, Chris Rice of The Nature Conservancy discusses the restoration of Mollicy Farms, the largest floodplain reconnection project ever undertaken in the U.S. Chris explains the extensive efforts involved in breaching levees, planting millions of trees, and reestablishing natural water flows to revive the 25-square mile floodplain along the Ouachita River in Louisiana.The conversation highlights the significant environmental and community benefits of restoring such areas, including floodwater storage, habitat creation, and water filtration. Additionally, Chris delves into the partnerships and challenges encountered throughout the project, providing insights into how similar initiatives can be implemented elsewhere.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet.

We started recording because I finally got Ableton on my computer. Okay. 249 00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:12,260 And we just, I mean, we picked what songs we had, I think. 250 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,460 It wasn't what ones we had. It was just, you know, what we wondered, what we felt we could do. 251 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,840 Oh, yeah. But I mean, the songs mostly come from me, and Ethan writes some of them. 252 00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:28,040 But I think of the four, they're mostly like old. 253 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,860 I'd like wrote them a couple years ago when 254 00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:33,820 i was in the other band and then they never wanted to play them 255 00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:37,720 okay you know i don't 256 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,900 know how we picked the four singles it's the one are they the ones that just 257 00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:47,920 got one yeah yeah okay so the the first four they got finished now you you had 258 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,240 mentioned that you just got ableton about a year ago on your computer so So 259 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,360 I'm understanding that this is a DIY project. 260 00:18:55,020 --> 00:18:59,400 Yeah.

The West continues to be shaped by water issues. In Oregon, some floodplains affected by human interference are being restored to manage climate issues. And restoration projects are happening in California too. Dos Rios Ranch Preserve is a restored floodplain in the state’s Central Valley. The region has been affected by drought and flooding, but the restoration is helping to mitigate the effects of extreme weather on the landscape. Jake Bittle is a staff writer at Grist. He’s reported on these issues for the outlet and joins us with details of the story and what bigger lessons can be learned from the project.

Wet and windy conditions have swept through the far west of NSW, a year since floodwaters peaked, communities along South Australia's River Murray are still rebuilding and this year's satirical Australian lamb ad was released over night... and it's all about the generational gap.

The St. Louis region experienced historic flooding one year ago, with effects that continue today. We discuss what's been learned and done since then to prevent a repeat of such damage.

To all the questions on deforestation for development projects, the Central government's repetitive response has been compensatory afforestation. Land in the Yamuna floodplains has been used for compensatory plantation. If the ecological premise of the government's restoration projects rest much on compensatory afforestation, are there enough studies to show whether the floodplains are the best place for afforestation? Are floodplains meant to be turned into forests? Do they not have an ecology of their own that is valuable? And what happens to the existing ecosystem? Does this initiative help them? What would that do to the river that flows through the floodplains and sometimes spills out of its banks? Most importantly, what if the river overflows, as we saw in the past week? In this episode, reporter Sneha Richhariya visited the compensatory afforestation sites along the Yamuna floodplains and met the plantation labourers. She spoke to Pramod Kumar, District Forest Officer (DFO), Noida and Faiyaz Khudsar, who is a scientist in the Biodiversity Parks Programme of Centre for Environment Management of Degraded Ecosystems (CEMDE), University of Delhi. See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

In addition to flood impacts on humans there are human impacts on floods. And of course there are flood impacts on other organisms.

For more than ten years now, Robin Koek and Nick Lapien have been creating music together as Artefakt. Since then, they have consistently released music at the intersections of ambient, IDM, techno, with LPs on Svreca's Semantica, Delsin, and Delsin electronica sub-label Ann Aimee in addition to their many EPs. Their next release is 6 track mini album “Floodplain”, landing on the impactful Spanish label Semantica next month. Ranging from brooding ambient on openers and closers “Fugacity” and “Floodplain”, to dance floor-oriented tribal on “Diorama”, “Natura” and “Delta”, the LP showcases the duo's range and further illustrates their commitment to adopt techno “as an art-form rather than a genre.” On “Natant”, we follow the squirming, tenacious bassline's path that is at the forefront of the track, being amplified but never overshadowed by their signature style pad or sturdy kicks. The 3.5-minute track reaches its climax two-thirds of the way in before slowly beginning to disintegrate and letting the bassline say its last words. “Floodplain” comes out on April 7th, 2023 as Semantica's staggering 143rd release. The LP is available for purchase on vinyl (with the digital files included) via Bandcamp. write up by https://soundcloud.com/sabro96 https://soundcloud.com/artefakt-official https://www.instagram.com/artefaktofficial/ https://soundcloud.com/semantica-records https://www.instagram.com/semantica_records/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed
