It occurs in Nigeria environment when there is heavy rain fall for prolonged period of time. The data collection for this research was by use of primary and secondary information;questionnaire was administered by face to face interviews and key informant surveys. Analytical technique was the univariate statistical methods. The results revealed that there is clear evidence of damages to properties and that there are hazards and risks faced by these households as shown in Tables 1-4 respectively. Table 3 specifically shows the financial losses incurred annually by residents to the tune 5 million naira and above. However, the continued hazards and risks as a result of flood incidence have affected their overall income which hitherto is found within (N20000.00 - N25000.00) about 22.8% of the respondents fall in this income bracket. Furthermore, the research also revealed that about 30% say the flood has affected their income, while 29.4% say their buildings are affected. Also about 37.8% of respondents say that the flood incidence occurs all through the rainy season. The research recommends an aggressive review of the Port Harcourt Master Plan and the implementation of the development control tools in the 1992 Urban and Regional Planning Law.展开更多
通过采用河道平面二维水流数学模型对襄樊河段水流运动以及襄樊电厂二期工程大件码头及取水口工程对防洪的影响进行了数值模拟计算。结果表明:工程修建后上游河段最大壅水高度约0.02 m,最大壅水长度约为630 m. 水流流态及水流流速分布...通过采用河道平面二维水流数学模型对襄樊河段水流运动以及襄樊电厂二期工程大件码头及取水口工程对防洪的影响进行了数值模拟计算。结果表明:工程修建后上游河段最大壅水高度约0.02 m,最大壅水长度约为630 m. 水流流态及水流流速分布无明显变化,对防洪影响不大。展开更多
